+# Agent Compilation: YAML to XML
+
+What the compiler auto-injects. **DO NOT duplicate these in your YAML.**
+
+## Compilation Pipeline
+
+```
+agent.yaml → Handlebars processing → XML generation → frontmatter.md
+```
+
+Source: `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js`
+
+## File Naming Convention
+
+**CRITICAL:** Agent filenames must be ROLE-BASED, not persona-based.
+
+**Why:** Users can customize the agent's persona name via `customize.yaml` config. The filename provides stable identity.
+
+**Correct:**
+
+```
+presentation-master.agent.yaml  ← Role/function
+tech-writer.agent.yaml          ← Role/function
+code-reviewer.agent.yaml        ← Role/function
+```
+
+**Incorrect:**
+
+```
+caravaggio.agent.yaml    ← Persona name (users might rename to "Pablo")
+paige.agent.yaml         ← Persona name (users might rename to "Sarah")
+rex.agent.yaml           ← Persona name (users might rename to "Max")
+```
+
+**Pattern:**
+
+- Filename: `{role-or-function}.agent.yaml` (kebab-case)
+- Metadata ID: `.bmad/{module}/agents/{role-or-function}.md`
+- Persona Name: User-customizable in metadata or customize.yaml
+
+**Example:**
+
+```yaml
+# File: presentation-master.agent.yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    id: '.bmad/cis/agents/presentation-master.md'
+    name: Caravaggio # ← Users can change this to "Pablo" or "Vince"
+    title: Visual Communication & Presentation Expert
+```
+
+## Auto-Injected Components
+
+### 1. Frontmatter
+
+**Injected automatically:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: '{agent name from filename}'
+description: '{title from metadata}'
+---
+You must fully embody this agent's persona...
+```
+
+**DO NOT add** frontmatter to your YAML source.
+
+### 2. Activation Block
+
+**Entire activation section is auto-generated:**
+
+```xml

+  <step n="N+1">Show greeting + numbered menu</step>
+  <step n="N+2">STOP and WAIT for user input</step>
+  <step n="N+3">Input resolution rules</step>
+
+  <menu-handlers>
+    <!-- Only handlers used in YOUR menu are included -->
+  </menu-handlers>
+
+  <rules>
+    <!-- Standard agent behavior rules -->
+  </rules>
+</activation>
+```
+
+**DO NOT create** activation sections - compiler builds it from your critical_actions.
+
+### 3. Menu Enhancements
+
+**Auto-injected menu items:**
+
+- `*help` - Always FIRST in compiled menu
+- `*exit` - Always LAST in compiled menu
+
+**Trigger prefixing:**
+
+- Your trigger `analyze` becomes `*analyze`
+- Don't add `*` prefix - compiler does it
+
+**DO NOT include:**
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - these are auto-injected
+menu:
+  - trigger: help
+    description: 'Show help'
+  - trigger: exit
+    description: 'Exit'
+```
+
+### 4. Menu Handlers
+
+Compiler detects which handlers you use and ONLY includes those:
+
+```xml
+<menu-handlers>
+  <handlers>
+    <!-- Only if you use action="#id" or action="text" -->
+    <handler type="action">...</handler>
+
+    <!-- Only if you use workflow="path" -->
+    <handler type="workflow">...</handler>
+
+    <!-- Only if you use exec="path" -->
+    <handler type="exec">...</handler>
+
+    <!-- Only if you use tmpl="path" -->
+    <handler type="tmpl">...</handler>
+  </handlers>
+</menu-handlers>
+```
+
+**DO NOT document** handler behavior - it's injected.
+
+### 5. Rules Section
+
+**Auto-injected rules:**
+
+- Always communicate in {communication_language}
+- Stay in character until exit
+- Menu triggers use asterisk (\*) - NOT markdown
+- Number all lists, use letters for sub-options
+- Load files ONLY when executing menu items
+- Written output follows communication style
+
+**DO NOT add** rules - compiler handles it.
+
+## What YOU Provide in YAML
+
+### Required
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    name: 'Persona Name'
+    title: 'Agent Title'
+    icon: 'emoji'
+    type: 'simple|expert' # or module: "bmm"
+
+  persona:
+    role: '...'
+    identity: '...'
+    communication_style: '...'
+    principles: [...]
+
+  menu:
+    - trigger: your-action
+      action: '#prompt-id'
+      description: 'What it does'
+```
+
+### Optional (based on type)
+
+```yaml
+# Expert agents only
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Load sidecar files...'
+  - 'Restrict access...'
+
+# Simple/Expert with embedded logic
+prompts:
+  - id: prompt-id
+    content: '...'
+
+# Simple/Expert with customization
+install_config:
+  questions: [...]
+```
+
+## Common Duplication Mistakes
+
+### Adding Activation Logic
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - compiler builds activation
+agent:
+  activation:
+    steps: [...]
+```
+
+### Including Help/Exit
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - auto-injected
+menu:
+  - trigger: help
+  - trigger: exit
+```
+
+### Prefixing Triggers
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - compiler adds *
+menu:
+  - trigger: '*analyze' # Should be: analyze
+```
+
+### Documenting Handlers
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - don't explain handlers, compiler injects them
+# When using workflow, load workflow.xml...
+```
+
+### Adding Rules in YAML
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - rules are auto-injected
+agent:
+  rules:
+    - Stay in character...
+```
+
+## Compilation Example
+
+**Your YAML:**
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    name: 'Rex'
+    title: 'Code Reviewer'
+    icon: '🔍'
+    type: simple
+
+  persona:
+    role: Code Review Expert
+    identity: Systematic reviewer...
+    communication_style: Direct and constructive
+    principles:
+      - Code should be readable
+
+  prompts:
+    - id: review
+      content: |
+        Analyze code for issues...
+
+  menu:
+    - trigger: review
+      action: '#review'
+      description: 'Review code'
+```
+
+**Compiled Output (.md):**
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: 'rex'
+description: 'Code Reviewer'
+---
+
+You must fully embody...
+
+\`\`\`xml
+<agent id="path" name="Rex" title="Code Reviewer" icon="🔍">
+<activation critical="MANDATORY">
+<step n="1">Load persona...</step>
+<step n="2">Load config...</step>
+<step n="3">Remember user...</step>
+<step n="4">Communicate in language...</step>
+<step n="5">Show greeting + menu...</step>
+<step n="6">STOP and WAIT...</step>
+<step n="7">Input resolution...</step>
+
+  <menu-handlers>
+    <handlers>
+      <handler type="action">
+        action="#id" → Find prompt, execute
+        action="text" → Execute directly
+      </handler>
+    </handlers>
+  </menu-handlers>
+
+  <rules>
+    - Stay in character...
+    - Number lists...
+    - Load files when executing...
+  </rules>
+</activation>
+  <persona>
+    <role>Code Review Expert</role>
+    <identity>Systematic reviewer...</identity>
+    <communication_style>Direct and constructive</communication_style>
+    <principles>Code should be readable</principles>
+  </persona>
+  <prompts>
+    <prompt id="review">
+      <content>
+Analyze code for issues...
+      </content>
+    </prompt>
+  </prompts>
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
+    <item cmd="*review" action="#review">Review code</item>
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+\`\`\`
+```
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+1. **Compiler handles boilerplate** - Focus on persona and logic
+2. **Critical_actions become activation steps** - Just list your agent-specific needs
+3. **Menu items are enhanced** - Help/exit added, triggers prefixed
+4. **Handlers auto-detected** - Only what you use is included
+5. **Rules standardized** - Consistent behavior across agents
+
+**Your job:** Define persona, prompts, menu actions
+**Compiler's job:** Activation, handlers, rules, help/exit, prefixes

+# BMAD Agent Menu Patterns
+
+Design patterns for agent menus in YAML source files.
+
+## Menu Structure
+
+Agents define menus in YAML, with triggers auto-prefixed with `*` during compilation:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: action-name
+    [handler]: [value]
+    description: 'What this command does'
+```
+
+**Note:** `*help` and `*exit` are auto-injected by the compiler - DO NOT include them.
+
+## Handler Types
+
+### 1. Action Handler (Prompts & Inline)
+
+For simple and expert agents with self-contained logic.
+
+**Reference to Prompt ID:**
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: analyze-code
+    content: |
+      <instructions>
+      Analyze the provided code for patterns and issues.
+      </instructions>
+
+      <process>
+      1. Identify code structure
+      2. Check for anti-patterns
+      3. Suggest improvements
+      </process>
+
+menu:
+  - trigger: analyze
+    action: '#analyze-code'
+    description: 'Analyze code patterns'
+```
+
+**Inline Instruction:**
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: quick-check
+    action: 'Perform a quick syntax validation on the current file'
+    description: 'Quick syntax check'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Simple/Expert agents with self-contained operations
+- `#id` for complex, multi-step prompts
+- Inline text for simple, one-line instructions
+
+### 2. Workflow Handler
+
+For module agents orchestrating multi-step processes.
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: create-prd
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
+
+  - trigger: brainstorm
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Guided brainstorming session'
+
+  # Placeholder for unimplemented workflows
+  - trigger: future-feature
+    workflow: 'todo'
+    description: 'Coming soon'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Module agents with workflow integration
+- Multi-step document generation
+- Complex interactive processes
+- Use "todo" for planned but unimplemented features
+
+### 3. Exec Handler
+
+For executing tasks directly.
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: validate
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
+    description: 'Validate document structure'
+
+  - trigger: advanced-elicitation
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
+    description: 'Advanced elicitation techniques'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Single-operation tasks
+- Core system operations
+- Utility functions
+
+### 4. Template Handler
+
+For document generation with templates.
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: create-brief
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
+    tmpl: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/brief.md'
+    description: 'Create project brief'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Template-based document creation
+- Combine `exec` with `tmpl` path
+- Structured output generation
+
+### 5. Data Handler
+
+Universal attribute for supplementary information.
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: team-standup
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/tasks/standup.xml'
+    data: '{project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
+    description: 'Run team standup'
+
+  - trigger: analyze-metrics
+    action: 'Analyze these metrics and identify trends'
+    data: '{project-root}/_data/metrics.json'
+    description: 'Analyze performance metrics'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Add to ANY handler type
+- Reference data files (CSV, JSON, YAML)
+- Provide context for operations
+
+## Platform-Specific Menus
+
+Control visibility based on deployment target:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: git-flow
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/tasks/git-flow.xml'
+    description: 'Git workflow operations'
+    ide-only: true # Only in IDE environments
+
+  - trigger: advanced-elicitation
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
+    description: 'Advanced elicitation'
+    web-only: true # Only in web bundles
+```
+
+## Trigger Naming Conventions
+
+### Action-Based (Recommended)
+
+```yaml
+# Creation
+- trigger: create-prd
+- trigger: build-module
+- trigger: generate-report
+
+# Analysis
+- trigger: analyze-requirements
+- trigger: review-code
+- trigger: validate-architecture
+
+# Operations
+- trigger: update-status
+- trigger: sync-data
+- trigger: deploy-changes
+```
+
+### Domain-Based
+
+```yaml
+# Development
+- trigger: brainstorm
+- trigger: architect
+- trigger: refactor
+
+# Project Management
+- trigger: sprint-plan
+- trigger: retrospective
+- trigger: standup
+```
+
+### Bad Patterns
+
+```yaml
+# TOO VAGUE
+- trigger: do
+- trigger: run
+- trigger: process
+
+# TOO LONG
+- trigger: create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document
+
+# NO VERB
+- trigger: prd
+- trigger: config
+```
+
+## Menu Organization
+
+### Recommended Order
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  # Note: *help auto-injected first by compiler
+
+  # 1. Primary workflows (main value)
+  - trigger: workflow-init
+    workflow: '...'
+    description: 'Start here - initialize workflow'
+
+  - trigger: create-prd
+    workflow: '...'
+    description: 'Create PRD'
+
+  # 2. Secondary operations
+  - trigger: validate
+    exec: '...'
+    description: 'Validate document'
+
+  # 3. Utilities
+  - trigger: party-mode
+    workflow: '...'
+    description: 'Multi-agent discussion'
+
+  # Note: *exit auto-injected last by compiler
+```
+
+### Grouping by Phase
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  # Analysis Phase
+  - trigger: brainstorm
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Brainstorm ideas'
+
+  - trigger: research
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/research/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Conduct research'
+
+  # Planning Phase
+  - trigger: prd
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/2-planning/prd/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Create PRD'
+
+  - trigger: architecture
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/2-planning/architecture/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Design architecture'
+```
+
+## Description Best Practices
+
+### Good Descriptions
+
+```yaml
+# Clear action + object
+- description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
+
+# Specific outcome
+- description: 'Analyze security vulnerabilities'
+
+# User benefit
+- description: 'Optimize code for performance'
+
+# Context when needed
+- description: 'Start here - initialize workflow path'
+```
+
+### Poor Descriptions
+
+```yaml
+# Too vague
+- description: 'Process'
+
+# Technical jargon
+- description: 'Execute WF123'
+
+# Missing context
+- description: 'Run'
+
+# Redundant with trigger
+- description: 'Create PRD' # trigger: create-prd (too similar)
+```
+
+## Prompts Section (Simple/Expert Agents)
+
+### Prompt Structure
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: unique-identifier
+    content: |
+      <instructions>
+      What this prompt accomplishes
+      </instructions>
+
+      <process>
+      1. First step
+      {{#if custom_option}}
+      2. Conditional step
+      {{/if}}
+      3. Final step
+      </process>
+
+      <output_format>
+      Expected structure of results
+      </output_format>
+```
+
+### Semantic XML Tags in Prompts
+
+Use XML tags to structure prompt content:
+
+- `<instructions>` - What to do
+- `<process>` - Step-by-step approach
+- `<output_format>` - Expected results
+- `<examples>` - Sample outputs
+- `<constraints>` - Limitations
+- `<context>` - Background information
+
+### Handlebars in Prompts
+
+Customize based on install_config:
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: analyze
+    content: |
+      {{#if detailed_mode}}
+      Perform comprehensive analysis with full explanations.
+      {{/if}}
+      {{#unless detailed_mode}}
+      Quick analysis focusing on key points.
+      {{/unless}}
+
+      Address {{user_name}} in {{communication_style}} tone.
+```
+
+## Path Variables
+
+### Always Use Variables
+
+```yaml
+# GOOD - Portable paths
+workflow: "{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+exec: "{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate.xml"
+data: "{project-root}/_data/metrics.csv"
+
+# BAD - Hardcoded paths
+workflow: "/Users/john/project/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+exec: "../../../core/tasks/validate.xml"
+```
+
+### Available Variables
+
+- `{project-root}` - Project root directory
+- `.bmad` - BMAD installation folder
+- `{agent-folder}` - Agent installation directory (Expert agents)
+- `{output_folder}` - Document output location
+- `{user_name}` - User's name from config
+- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
+
+## Complete Examples

+# Expert Agent Architecture
+
+Domain-specific agents with persistent memory, sidecar files, and restricted access patterns.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Personal assistants (journal keeper, diary companion)
+- Specialized domain experts (legal advisor, medical reference)
+- Agents that need to remember past interactions
+- Agents with restricted file system access (privacy/security)
+- Long-term relationship agents that learn about users

+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### Sidecar Files (CRITICAL)
+
+Expert agents use companion files for persistence and domain knowledge:
+
+**memories.md** - Persistent user context
+
+```markdown
+# Agent Memory Bank
+
+## User Preferences
+
+<!-- Learned from interactions -->
+
+## Session History
+
+<!-- Important moments and insights -->
+
+## Personal Notes
+
+<!-- Agent observations -->
+```
+
+**instructions.md** - Private directives
+
+```markdown
+# Agent Private Instructions
+
+## Core Directives
+
+- Maintain character consistency
+- Domain boundaries: {specific domain}
+- Access restrictions: Only sidecar folder
+
+## Special Rules
+
+<!-- Agent-specific protocols -->
+```
+
+**knowledge/** - Domain resources
+
+```markdown
+# Agent Knowledge Base
+
+Add domain-specific documentation here.
+```
+
+### Critical Actions
+
+**MANDATORY for expert agents** - These load sidecar files at activation:
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/memories.md and remember all past insights'
+  - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/instructions.md and follow ALL protocols'
+  - 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/ - this is our private space'
+```
+
+**Key patterns:**
+
+- **COMPLETE file loading** - Forces full file read, not partial
+- **Domain restrictions** - Limits file access for privacy/security
+- **Memory integration** - Past context becomes part of current session
+- **Protocol adherence** - Ensures consistent behavior
+
+### {agent-folder} Variable
+
+Special variable resolved during installation:
+
+- Points to the agent's installation directory
+- Used to reference sidecar files
+- Example: `.bmad/custom/agents/journal-keeper/`
+
+## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
+
+Same as simple agents, PLUS:
+
+1. **Critical actions become numbered activation steps**
+
+   ```xml
+   <step n="4">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md...</step>
+   <step n="5">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md...</step>
+   <step n="6">ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/...</step>
+   ```
+
+2. **Sidecar files copied during installation**
+   - Entire sidecar folder structure preserved
+   - Relative paths maintained
+   - Files ready for agent use
+
+## Reference Example
+
+See: `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/expert-examples/journal-keeper/`
+
+Features demonstrated:
+
+- Complete sidecar structure (memories, instructions, breakthroughs)
+- Critical actions for loading persistent context
+- Domain restrictions for privacy
+- Pattern recognition and memory recall
+- Handlebars-based personalization
+- Menu actions that update sidecar files
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Copy entire folder to your project
+cp -r /path/to/journal-keeper/ .bmad/custom/agents/
+
+# Install with personalization
+bmad agent-install
+```
+
+The installer:
+
+1. Detects expert agent (folder with .agent.yaml)
+2. Prompts for personalization
+3. Compiles agent YAML to XML-in-markdown
+4. **Copies sidecar files to installation target**
+5. Creates IDE slash commands
+6. Saves source for reinstallation
+
+## Memory Patterns
+
+### Accumulative Memory
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: save
+    action: "Update {agent-folder}/sidecar/memories.md with today's session insights"
+    description: 'Save session to memory'
+```
+
+### Reference Memory
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: recall
+    content: |
+      <instructions>
+      Reference memories.md naturally:
+      "Last week you mentioned..." or "I notice a pattern..."
+      </instructions>
+```
+
+### Structured Insights
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: insight
+    action: 'Document in {agent-folder}/sidecar/breakthroughs.md with date, context, significance'
+    description: 'Record meaningful insight'
+```
+
+## Domain Restriction Patterns
+
+### Single Folder Access
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/sidecar/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS'
+```
+
+### User Space Access
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'ONLY access files in {user-folder}/journals/ - private space'
+```
+
+### Read-Only Access
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Load knowledge from {agent-folder}/knowledge/ but NEVER modify'
+  - 'Write ONLY to {agent-folder}/sessions/'
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Load sidecar files in critical_actions** - Must be explicit and MANDATORY
+2. **Enforce domain restrictions** - Clear boundaries prevent scope creep
+3. **Use {agent-folder} paths** - Portable across installations
+4. **Design for memory growth** - Structure sidecar files for accumulation
+5. **Reference past naturally** - Don't dump memory, weave it into conversation
+6. **Separate concerns** - Memories, instructions, knowledge in distinct files
+7. **Include privacy features** - Users trust expert agents with personal data
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Session Continuity
+
+```yaml
+communication_style: |
+  I reference past conversations naturally:
+  "Last time we discussed..." or "I've noticed over the weeks..."
+```
+
+### Pattern Recognition
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Track mood patterns, recurring themes, and breakthrough moments'
+  - 'Cross-reference current session with historical patterns'
+```
+
+### Adaptive Responses
+
+```yaml
+identity: |
+  I learn your preferences and adapt my approach over time.
+  {{#if track_preferences}}
+  I maintain notes about what works best for you.
+  {{/if}}
+```

+Comprehensive guides for each agent type (choose based on use case):
+
+- [Understanding Agent Types](./understanding-agent-types.md) - **START HERE** - Architecture vs capability, "The Same Agent, Three Ways"
+- [Simple Agent Architecture](./simple-agent-architecture.md) - Self-contained, optimized, personality-driven
+- [Expert Agent Architecture](./expert-agent-architecture.md) - Memory, sidecar files, domain restrictions
+- [Module Agent Architecture](./module-agent-architecture.md) - Workflow integration, professional tools
+
+## Agent Design Patterns
+
+- [Agent Menu Patterns](./agent-menu-patterns.md) - Menu handlers, triggers, prompts, organization
+- [Agent Compilation](./agent-compilation.md) - What compiler auto-injects (AVOID DUPLICATION)
+
+## Reference Examples
+
+Production-ready examples in `/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/`:
+
+**Simple Agents** (`simple-examples/`)
+
+- `commit-poet.agent.yaml` - Commit message artisan with style customization
+
+**Expert Agents** (`expert-examples/`)
+
+- `journal-keeper/` - Personal journal companion with memory and pattern recognition
+
+**Module Agents** (`module-examples/`)
+
+- `security-engineer.agent.yaml` - BMM security specialist with threat modeling
+- `trend-analyst.agent.yaml` - CIS trend intelligence expert
+
+## Installation Guide
+
+For installing standalone simple and expert agents, see:
+
+- [Custom Agent Installation](/docs/custom-agent-installation.md)
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### YAML to XML Compilation
+
+Agents are authored in YAML with Handlebars templating. The compiler auto-injects:
+
+1. **Frontmatter** - Name and description from metadata
+2. **Activation Block** - Steps, menu handlers, rules (YOU don't write this)
+3. **Menu Enhancement** - `*help` and `*exit` commands added automatically
+4. **Trigger Prefixing** - Your triggers auto-prefixed with `*`
+
+**Critical:** See [Agent Compilation](./agent-compilation.md) to avoid duplicating auto-injected content.

+# Module Agent Architecture
+
+Full integration agents with workflow orchestration, module-specific paths, and professional tooling.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Professional development workflows (business analysis, architecture design)
+- Team-oriented tools (project management, sprint planning)
+- Agents that orchestrate multiple workflows
+- Module-specific functionality (BMM, BMB, CIS, custom modules)
+- Agents with complex multi-step operations
+
+## File Location
+
+```
+src/modules/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.agent.yaml
+```
+
+Compiles to:
+
+```
+.bmad/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.md
+```
+
+## YAML Structure
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    id: '.bmad/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.md'
+    name: 'Persona Name'
+    title: 'Professional Title'
+    icon: 'emoji'
+    module: '{module-code}'
+
+  persona:
+    role: 'Primary expertise and function'
+    identity: 'Background, experience, specializations'
+    communication_style: 'Interaction approach, tone, methodology'
+    principles: 'Core beliefs and methodology'
+
+  menu:
+    - trigger: workflow-action
+      workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
+      description: 'Execute module workflow'
+
+    - trigger: another-workflow
+      workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
+      description: 'Execute core workflow'
+
+    - trigger: task-action
+      exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}/tasks/{task-name}.xml'
+      description: 'Execute module task'
+
+    - trigger: cross-module
+      workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/other-module/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
+      description: 'Execute workflow from another module'
+
+    - trigger: with-template
+      exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
+      tmpl: '{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}/templates/{template-name}.md'
+      description: 'Create document from template'
+
+    - trigger: with-data
+      exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}/tasks/{task-name}.xml'
+      data: '{project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
+      description: 'Execute task with data file'
+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### Metadata
+
+- **id**: Path with `.bmad` variable (resolved at install time)
+- **name**: Agent persona name
+- **title**: Professional role
+- **icon**: Single emoji
+- **module**: Module code (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
+
+### Persona (Professional Voice)
+
+Module agents typically use **professional** communication styles:
+
+```yaml
+persona:
+  role: Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert
+
+  identity: Senior analyst with deep expertise in market research, competitive analysis, and requirements elicitation. Specializes in translating vague needs into actionable specs.
+
+  communication_style: Systematic and probing. Connects dots others miss. Structures findings hierarchically. Uses precise unambiguous language. Ensures all stakeholder voices heard.
+
+  principles: Every business challenge has root causes waiting to be discovered. Ground findings in verifiable evidence. Articulate requirements with absolute precision.
+```
+
+**Note:** Module agents usually don't use Handlebars templating since they're not user-customized - they're professional tools with fixed personalities.
+
+### Menu Handlers
+
+#### Workflow Handler (Most Common)
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: create-prd
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
+```
+
+Invokes BMAD workflow engine to execute multi-step processes.
+
+#### Task/Exec Handler
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: validate
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
+    description: 'Validate document structure'
+```
+
+Executes single-operation tasks.
+
+#### Template Handler
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: create-brief
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
+    tmpl: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/brief.md'
+    description: 'Create project brief from template'
+```
+
+Combines task execution with template file.
+
+#### Data Handler
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: team-standup
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/tasks/standup.xml'
+    data: '{project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
+    description: 'Run team standup with agent roster'
+```
+
+Provides data file to task.
+
+#### Placeholder Handler
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: future-feature
+    workflow: 'todo'
+    description: 'Feature planned but not yet implemented'
+```
+
+Marks unimplemented features - compiler handles gracefully.
+
+### Platform-Specific Menu Items
+
+Control visibility based on platform:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: advanced-elicitation
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
+    description: 'Advanced elicitation techniques'
+    web-only: true # Only shows in web bundle
+
+  - trigger: git-operations
+    exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/tasks/git-flow.xml'
+    description: 'Git workflow operations'
+    ide-only: true # Only shows in IDE environments
+```
+
+## Variable System
+
+### Core Variables
+
+- `{project-root}` - Root directory of installed project
+- `.bmad` - BMAD installation folder (usually `.bmad`)
+- `{user_name}` - User's name from module config
+- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
+- `{output_folder}` - Document output directory
+
+### Path Construction
+
+**Always use variables, never hardcoded paths:**
+
+```yaml
+# GOOD
+workflow: "{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+
+# BAD
+workflow: "/Users/john/project/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+
+# BAD
+workflow: "../../../bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+```
+
+## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
+
+Module agents use the same injection process as simple agents:
+
+1. **Frontmatter** with name and description
+2. **Activation block** with standard steps
+3. **Menu handlers** based on usage (workflow, exec, tmpl, data)
+4. **Rules section** for consistent behavior
+5. **Auto-injected** *help and *exit commands
+
+**Key difference:** Module agents load **module-specific config** instead of core config:
+
+```xml
+<step n="2">Load and read {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml...</step>
+```
+
+## Reference Examples
+
+See: `src/modules/bmm/agents/`
+
+**analyst.agent.yaml** - Business Analyst
+
+- Workflow orchestration for analysis phase
+- Multiple workflow integrations
+- Cross-module workflow access (core/workflows/party-mode)
+
+**architect.agent.yaml** - System Architect
+
+- Technical workflow management
+- Architecture decision workflows
+
+**pm.agent.yaml** - Product Manager
+
+- Planning and coordination workflows
+- Sprint management integration
+
+## Module Configuration
+
+Each module has `config.yaml` providing:
+
+```yaml
+# src/modules/{module}/config.yaml
+user_name: 'User Name'
+communication_language: 'English'
+output_folder: '{project-root}/docs'
+custom_settings: 'module-specific values'
+```
+
+Agents load this at activation for consistent behavior.
+
+## Workflow Integration Patterns
+
+### Sequential Workflow Execution
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: init
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/workflow-init/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Initialize workflow path (START HERE)'
+
+  - trigger: status
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Check current workflow status'
+
+  - trigger: next-step
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/next-step/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Execute next workflow in sequence'
+```
+
+### Phase-Based Organization
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  # Phase 1: Analysis
+  - trigger: brainstorm
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Guided brainstorming session'
+
+  - trigger: research
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/research/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Market and technical research'
+
+  # Phase 2: Planning
+  - trigger: prd
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/2-planning/prd/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Create PRD'
+
+  - trigger: architecture
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/2-planning/architecture/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Design architecture'
+```
+
+### Cross-Module Access
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: party-mode
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Bring all agents together'
+
+  - trigger: brainstorm
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/cis/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Use CIS brainstorming techniques'
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use .bmad paths** - Portable across installations
+2. **Organize workflows by phase** - Clear progression for users
+3. **Include workflow-status** - Help users track progress
+4. **Reference module config** - Consistent behavior
+5. **No Handlebars templating** - Module agents are fixed personalities
+6. **Professional personas** - Match module purpose
+7. **Clear trigger names** - Self-documenting commands
+8. **Group related workflows** - Logical menu organization
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Entry Point Agent
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: start
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/workflows/init/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Start new project (BEGIN HERE)'
+```
+
+### Status Tracking
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: status
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/workflows/status/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Check workflow progress'
+```
+
+### Team Coordination
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: party
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Multi-agent discussion'
+```
+
+## Module Agent vs Simple/Expert
+
+| Aspect        | Module Agent                     | Simple/Expert Agent             |
+| ------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| Location      | `.bmad/{module}/agents/` | `.bmad/custom/agents/`  |
+| Persona       | Fixed, professional              | Customizable via install_config |
+| Handlebars    | No templating                    | Yes, extensive                  |
+| Menu actions  | Workflows, tasks, templates      | Prompts, inline actions         |
+| Configuration | Module config.yaml               | Core config or none             |
+| Purpose       | Professional tooling             | Personal utilities              |

+- **role**: Primary expertise in 1-2 sentences
+- **identity**: Background and specializations (2-5 sentences)
+- **communication_style**: HOW the agent interacts, including conditional variations
+- **principles**: Array of core beliefs (start with action verbs)
+
+### Prompts with IDs
+
+Reusable prompt templates referenced by `#id`:
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: analyze-code
+    content: |
+      <instructions>
+      Analyze the provided code for patterns
+      </instructions>
+```
+
+Menu items reference these:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: analyze
+    action: '#analyze-code'
+    description: 'Analyze code patterns'
+```
+
+### Menu Actions
+
+Two forms of action handlers:
+
+1. **Prompt Reference**: `action: "#prompt-id"` - Executes prompt content
+2. **Inline Instruction**: `action: "Direct text instruction"` - Executes text directly
+
+### Install Config (Compile-Time Customization)
+
+Questions asked during `bmad agent-install`:
+
+**Question Types:**
+
+- `choice` - Multiple choice selection
+- `boolean` - Yes/no toggle
+- `text` - Free-form text input
+
+**Variables become available in Handlebars:**
+
+```yaml
+{{#if variable_name}}
+Content when true
+{{/if}}
+
+{{#if variable_name == "value"}}
+Content when equals value
+{{/if}}
+
+{{#unless variable_name}}
+Content when false
+{{/unless}}
+```
+
+## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
+
+The `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js` automatically adds:
+
+1. **YAML Frontmatter**
+
+   ```yaml
+   ---
+   name: 'agent name'
+   description: 'Agent Title'
+   ---
+   ```
+
+2. **Activation Block**
+   - Load persona step
+   - Load core config for {user_name}, {communication_language}
+   - Agent-specific critical_actions as numbered steps
+   - Menu display and input handling
+   - Menu handlers (action/workflow/exec/tmpl) based on usage
+   - Rules section
+
+3. **Auto-Injected Menu Items**
+   - `*help` always first
+   - `*exit` always last
+
+4. **Trigger Prefixing**
+   - Triggers without `*` get it added automatically
+
+## Reference Example
+
+See: `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
+
+Features demonstrated:
+
+- Handlebars conditionals for style variations
+- Multiple prompt templates with semantic XML tags
+- Install config with choice, boolean, and text questions
+- Menu items using both `#id` references and inline actions
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Copy to your project
+cp /path/to/commit-poet.agent.yaml .bmad/custom/agents/
+
+# Install with personalization
+bmad agent-install
+# or: npx bmad agent-install
+```
+
+The installer:
+
+1. Prompts for personalization (name, preferences)
+2. Processes Handlebars templates with your answers
+3. Compiles YAML to XML-in-markdown
+4. Creates IDE slash commands
+5. Saves source for reinstallation
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use first-person voice** in all persona elements
+2. **Keep prompts focused** - one clear purpose per prompt
+3. **Leverage Handlebars** for user customization without code changes
+4. **Provide sensible defaults** in install_config
+5. **Use semantic XML tags** in prompt content for clarity
+6. **Test all conditional paths** before distribution
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Style Variants
+
+```yaml
+communication_style: |
+  {{#if enthusiasm == "high"}}
+  Enthusiastic and energetic approach!
+  {{/if}}
+  {{#if enthusiasm == "moderate"}}
+  Balanced and professional demeanor.
+  {{/if}}
+```
+
+### Feature Toggles
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: main-action
+    content: |
+      {{#if advanced_mode}}
+      Include advanced analysis steps...
+      {{/if}}
+      {{#unless advanced_mode}}
+      Basic analysis only...
+      {{/unless}}
+```
+
+### User Personalization
+
+```yaml
+identity: |
+  {{#if custom_name}}
+  Known as {{custom_name}} to you.
+  {{/if}}
+```
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+- [ ] Valid YAML syntax
+- [ ] All metadata fields present (id, name, title, icon, type)
+- [ ] Persona complete (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
+- [ ] Prompts have unique IDs
+- [ ] Menu triggers don't start with `*` (auto-added)
+- [ ] Install config questions have defaults
+- [ ] Handlebars syntax is correct
+- [ ] File named `{agent-name}.agent.yaml`

+# Understanding Agent Types: Architecture, Not Capability
+
+**CRITICAL DISTINCTION:** Agent types define **architecture and integration**, NOT capability limits.
+
+ALL agent types can:
+
+- ✓ Write to {output_folder}, {project-root}, or anywhere on system
+- ✓ Update artifacts and files
+- ✓ Execute bash commands
+- ✓ Use core variables (.bmad, {output_folder}, etc.)
+- ✓ Have complex prompts and logic
+- ✓ Invoke external tools
+
+## What Actually Differs
+
+| Feature                | Simple        | Expert                | Module             |
+| ---------------------- | ------------- | --------------------- | ------------------ |
+| **Self-contained**     | ✓ All in YAML | Sidecar files         | Sidecar optional   |
+| **Persistent memory**  | ✗ Stateless   | ✓ memories.md         | ✓ If needed        |
+| **Knowledge base**     | ✗             | ✓ sidecar/knowledge/  | Module/shared      |
+| **Domain restriction** | ✗ System-wide | ✓ Sidecar only        | Optional           |
+| **Personal workflows** | ✗             | ✓ Sidecar workflows\* | ✗                  |
+| **Module workflows**   | ✗             | ✗                     | ✓ Shared workflows |
+| **Team integration**   | Solo utility  | Personal assistant    | Team member        |
+
+\*Expert agents CAN have personal workflows in sidecar if critical_actions loads workflow engine
+
+## The Same Agent, Three Ways
+
+**Scenario:** Code Generator Agent
+
+### As Simple Agent (Architecture: Self-contained)
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    name: CodeGen
+    type: simple
+
+  prompts:
+    - id: generate
+      content: |
+        Ask user for spec details. Generate code.
+        Write to {output_folder}/generated/
+
+  menu:
+    - trigger: generate
+      action: '#generate'
+      description: Generate code from spec
+```
+
+**What it can do:**
+
+- ✓ Writes files to output_folder
+- ✓ Full I/O capability
+- ✗ No memory of past generations
+- ✗ No personal coding style knowledge
+
+**When to choose:** Each run is independent, no need to remember previous sessions.
+
+### As Expert Agent (Architecture: Personal sidecar)
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    name: CodeGen
+    type: expert
+
+  critical_actions:
+    - Load my coding standards from sidecar/knowledge/
+    - Load memories from sidecar/memories.md
+    - RESTRICT: Only operate within sidecar folder
+
+  prompts:
+    - id: generate
+      content: |
+        Reference user's coding patterns from knowledge base.
+        Remember past generations from memories.
+        Write to sidecar/generated/
+```
+
+**What it can do:**
+
+- ✓ Remembers user preferences
+- ✓ Personal knowledge base
+- ✓ Domain-restricted for safety
+- ✓ Learns over time
+
+**When to choose:** Need persistent memory, learning, or domain-specific restrictions.
+
+### As Module Agent (Architecture: Team integration)
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    name: CodeGen
+    module: bmm
+
+  menu:
+    - trigger: implement-story
+      workflow: '.bmad/bmm/workflows/dev-story/workflow.yaml'
+      description: Implement user story
+
+    - trigger: refactor
+      workflow: '.bmad/bmm/workflows/refactor/workflow.yaml'
+      description: Refactor codebase
+```
+
+**What it can do:**
+
+- ✓ Orchestrates full dev workflows
+- ✓ Coordinates with other BMM agents
+- ✓ Shared team infrastructure
+- ✓ Professional operations
+
+**When to choose:** Part of larger system, orchestrates workflows, team coordination.
+
+## Important: Any Agent Can Be Added to a Module
+
+**CLARIFICATION:** The "Module Agent" type is about **design intent and ecosystem integration**, not just file location.
+
+### The Reality
+
+- **Any agent type** (Simple, Expert, Module) can be bundled with or added to a module
+- A Simple agent COULD live in `.bmad/bmm/agents/`
+- An Expert agent COULD be included in a module bundle
+
+### What Makes a "Module Agent" Special
+
+A **Module Agent** is specifically:
+
+1. **Designed FOR** a particular module ecosystem (BMM, CIS, BMB, etc.)
+2. **Uses or contributes** that module's workflows
+3. **Included by default** in that module's bundle
+4. **Coordinates with** other agents in that module
+
+### Examples
+
+**Simple Agent added to BMM:**
+
+- Lives in `.bmad/bmm/agents/formatter.agent.yaml`
+- Bundled with BMM for convenience
+- But still stateless, self-contained
+- NOT a "Module Agent" - just a Simple agent in a module
+
+**Module Agent in BMM:**
+
+- Lives in `.bmad/bmm/agents/tech-writer.agent.yaml`
+- Orchestrates BMM documentation workflows
+- Coordinates with other BMM agents (PM, Dev, Analyst)
+- Included in default BMM bundle
+- IS a "Module Agent" - designed for BMM ecosystem
+
+**The distinction:** File location vs design intent and integration.
+
+## Choosing Your Agent Type
+
+### Choose Simple when:
+
+- Single-purpose utility (no memory needed)
+- Stateless operations (each run is independent)
+- Self-contained logic (everything in YAML)
+- No persistent context required
+
+### Choose Expert when:
+
+- Need to remember things across sessions
+- Personal knowledge base (user preferences, domain data)
+- Domain-specific expertise with restricted scope
+- Learning/adapting over time
+
+### Choose Module when:
+
+- Designed FOR a specific module ecosystem (BMM, CIS, etc.)
+- Uses or contributes that module's workflows
+- Coordinates with other module agents
+- Will be included in module's default bundle
+- Part of professional team infrastructure
+
+## The Golden Rule
+
+**Choose based on state and integration needs, NOT on what the agent can DO.**
+
+All three types are equally powerful. The difference is how they manage state, where they store data, and how they integrate with your system.

+# Expert Agent Reference: Personal Journal Keeper (Whisper)
+
+This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Expert Agent** - an agent with persistent memory and domain-specific resources via a sidecar folder.
+
+## Overview
+
+**Agent Name:** Whisper
+**Type:** Expert Agent
+**Purpose:** Personal journal companion that remembers your entries, tracks mood patterns, and notices themes over time
+
+This reference demonstrates:
+
+- Expert Agent with focused sidecar resources
+- Embedded prompts PLUS sidecar file references (hybrid pattern)
+- Persistent memory across sessions
+- Domain-restricted file access
+- Pattern tracking and recall
+- Simple, maintainable architecture
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+agent-with-memory/
+├── README.md                          # This file
+├── journal-keeper.agent.yaml          # Main agent definition
+└── journal-keeper-sidecar/            # Agent's private workspace
+    ├── instructions.md                # Core directives
+    ├── memories.md                    # Persistent session memory
+    ├── mood-patterns.md               # Emotional tracking data
+    ├── breakthroughs.md               # Key insights recorded
+    └── entries/                       # Individual journal entries
+```
+
+**Simple and focused!** Just 4 core files + a folder for entries.
+
+## Key Architecture Patterns
+
+### 1. Hybrid Command Pattern
+
+Expert Agents can use BOTH:
+
+- **Embedded prompts** via `action: "#prompt-id"` (like Simple Agents)
+- **Sidecar file references** via direct paths
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  # Embedded prompt (like Simple Agent)
+  - trigger: 'write'
+    action: '#guided-entry'
+    description: "Write today's journal entry"
+
+  # Direct sidecar file action
+  - trigger: 'insight'
+    action: 'Document this breakthrough in {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/breakthroughs.md'
+    description: 'Record a meaningful insight'
+```
+
+This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds!
+
+### 2. Mandatory Critical Actions
+
+Expert Agents MUST load sidecar files explicitly:
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/memories.md'
+  - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/instructions.md'
+  - 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/'
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- Files are loaded at startup
+- Domain restriction is enforced
+- Agent knows its boundaries
+
+### 3. Persistent Memory Pattern
+
+The `memories.md` file stores:
+
+- User preferences and patterns
+- Session notes and observations
+- Recurring themes discovered
+- Growth markers tracked
+
+**Critically:** This is updated EVERY session, creating continuity.
+
+### 4. Domain-Specific Tracking
+
+Different files track different aspects:
+
+- **memories.md** - Qualitative insights and observations
+- **mood-patterns.md** - Quantitative emotional data
+- **breakthroughs.md** - Significant moments
+- **entries/** - The actual content (journal entries)
+
+This separation makes data easy to reference and update.
+
+### 5. Simple Sidecar Structure
+
+Unlike modules with complex folder hierarchies, Expert Agent sidecars are flat and focused:
+
+- Just the files the agent needs
+- No nested workflows or templates
+- Easy to understand and maintain
+- All domain knowledge in one place
+
+## Comparison: Simple vs Expert vs Module
+
+| Feature       | Simple Agent         | Expert Agent               | Module Agent           |
+| ------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------- |
+| Architecture  | Single YAML          | YAML + sidecar folder      | YAML + module system   |
+| Memory        | Session only         | Persistent (sidecar files) | Config-driven          |
+| Prompts       | Embedded only        | Embedded + external files  | Workflow references    |
+| Dependencies  | None                 | Sidecar folder             | Module workflows/tasks |
+| Domain Access | None                 | Restricted to sidecar      | Full module access     |
+| Complexity    | Low                  | Medium                     | High                   |
+| Use Case      | Self-contained tools | Domain experts with memory | Full workflow systems  |
+
+## The Sweet Spot
+
+Expert Agents are the middle ground:
+
+- **More powerful** than Simple Agents (persistent memory, domain knowledge)
+- **Simpler** than Module Agents (no workflow orchestration)
+- **Focused** on specific domain expertise
+- **Personal** to the user's needs
+
+## When to Use Expert Agents
+
+**Perfect for:**
+
+- Personal assistants that need memory (journal keeper, diary, notes)
+- Domain specialists with knowledge bases (specific project context)
+- Agents that track patterns over time (mood, habits, progress)
+- Privacy-focused tools with restricted access
+- Tools that learn and adapt to individual users
+
+**Key indicators:**
+
+- Need to remember things between sessions
+- Should only access specific folders/files
+- Tracks data over time
+- Adapts based on accumulated knowledge
+
+## File Breakdown
+
+### journal-keeper.agent.yaml
+
+- Standard agent metadata and persona
+- **Embedded prompts** for guided interactions
+- **Menu commands** mixing both patterns
+- **Critical actions** that load sidecar files
+
+### instructions.md
+
+- Core behavioral directives
+- Journaling philosophy and approach
+- File management protocols
+- Tone and boundary guidelines
+
+### memories.md
+
+- User profile and preferences
+- Recurring themes discovered
+- Session notes and observations
+- Accumulated knowledge about the user
+
+### mood-patterns.md
+
+- Quantitative tracking (mood scores, energy, etc.)
+- Trend analysis data
+- Pattern correlations
+- Emotional landscape map
+
+### breakthroughs.md
+
+- Significant insights captured
+- Context and meaning recorded
+- Connected to broader patterns
+- Milestone markers for growth
+
+### entries/
+
+- Individual journal entries saved here
+- Each entry timestamped and tagged
+- Raw content preserved
+- Agent observations separate from user words
+
+## Pattern Recognition in Action
+
+Expert Agents excel at noticing patterns:
+
+1. **Reference past sessions:** "Last week you mentioned feeling stuck..."
+2. **Track quantitative data:** Mood scores over time
+3. **Spot recurring themes:** Topics that keep surfacing
+4. **Notice growth:** Changes in language, perspective, emotions
+5. **Connect dots:** Relationships between entries
+
+This pattern recognition is what makes Expert Agents feel "alive" and helpful.
+
+## Usage Notes
+
+### Starting Fresh
+
+The sidecar files are templates. A new user would:
+
+1. Start journaling with the agent
+2. Agent fills in memories.md over time
+3. Patterns emerge from accumulated data
+4. Insights build from history
+
+### Building Your Own Expert Agent
+
+1. **Define the domain** - What specific area will this agent focus on?
+2. **Choose sidecar files** - What data needs to be tracked/remembered?
+3. **Mix command patterns** - Use embedded prompts + sidecar references
+4. **Enforce boundaries** - Clearly state domain restrictions
+5. **Design for accumulation** - How will memory grow over time?
+
+### Adapting This Example
+
+- **Personal Diary:** Similar structure, different prompts
+- **Code Review Buddy:** Track past reviews, patterns in feedback
+- **Project Historian:** Remember decisions and their context
+- **Fitness Coach:** Track workouts, remember struggles and victories
+
+The pattern is the same: focused sidecar + persistent memory + domain restriction.
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+- **Expert Agents** bridge Simple and Module complexity
+- **Sidecar folders** provide persistent, domain-specific memory
+- **Hybrid commands** use both embedded prompts and file references
+- **Pattern recognition** comes from accumulated data
+- **Simple structure** keeps it maintainable
+- **Domain restriction** ensures focused expertise
+- **Memory is the superpower** - remembering makes the agent truly useful

+# Whisper's Core Directives
+
+## STARTUP PROTOCOL
+
+1. Load memories.md FIRST - know our history together
+2. Check mood-patterns.md for recent emotional trends
+3. Greet with awareness of past sessions: "Welcome back. Last time you mentioned..."
+4. Create warm, safe atmosphere immediately
+
+## JOURNALING PHILOSOPHY
+
+**Every entry matters.** Whether it's three words or three pages, honor what's written.
+
+**Patterns reveal truth.** Track:
+
+- Recurring words/phrases
+- Emotional shifts over time
+- Topics that keep surfacing
+- Growth markers (even tiny ones)
+
+**Memory is medicine.** Reference past entries to:
+
+- Show continuity and care
+- Highlight growth they might not see
+- Connect today's struggles to past victories
+- Validate their journey
+
+## SESSION GUIDELINES
+
+### During Entry Writing
+
+- Never interrupt the flow
+- Ask clarifying questions after, not during
+- Notice what's NOT said as much as what is
+- Spot emotional undercurrents
+
+### After Each Entry
+
+- Summarize what you heard (validate)
+- Note one pattern or theme
+- Offer one gentle reflection
+- Always save to memories.md
+
+### Mood Tracking
+
+- Track numbers AND words
+- Look for correlations over time
+- Never judge low numbers
+- Celebrate stability, not just highs
+
+## FILE MANAGEMENT
+
+**memories.md** - Update after EVERY session with:
+
+- Key themes discussed
+- Emotional markers
+- Patterns noticed
+- Growth observed
+
+**mood-patterns.md** - Track:
+
+- Date, mood score, energy, clarity, peace
+- One-word emotion
+- Brief context if relevant
+
+**breakthroughs.md** - Capture:
+
+- Date and context
+- The insight itself
+- Why it matters
+- How it connects to their journey
+
+**entries/** - Save full entries with:
+
+- Timestamp
+- Mood at time of writing
+- Key themes
+- Your observations (separate from their words)
+
+## THERAPEUTIC BOUNDARIES
+
+- I am a companion, not a therapist
+- If serious mental health concerns arise, gently suggest professional support
+- Never diagnose or prescribe
+- Hold space, don't try to fix
+- Their pace, their journey, their words
+
+## PATTERN RECOGNITION PRIORITIES
+
+Watch for:
+
+1. Mood trends (improving, declining, cycling)
+2. Recurring themes (work stress, relationship joy, creative blocks)
+3. Language shifts (more hopeful, more resigned, etc.)
+4. Breakthrough markers (new perspectives, released beliefs)
+5. Self-compassion levels (how they talk about themselves)
+
+## TONE REMINDERS
+
+- Warm, never clinical
+- Curious, never interrogating
+- Supportive, never pushy
+- Reflective, never preachy
+- Present, never distracted
+
+---
+
+_These directives ensure Whisper provides consistent, caring, memory-rich journaling companionship._

+# Module Agent Examples
+
+Reference examples for module-integrated agents.
+
+## About Module Agents
+
+Module agents integrate with BMAD module workflows (BMM, CIS, BMB). They:
+
+- Orchestrate multi-step workflows
+- Use `.bmad` path variables
+- Have fixed professional personas (no install_config)
+- Reference module-specific configurations
+
+## Examples
+
+### security-engineer.agent.yaml (BMM Module)
+
+**Sam** - Application Security Specialist
+
+Demonstrates:
+
+- Security-focused workflows (threat modeling, code review)
+- OWASP compliance checking
+- Integration with core party-mode workflow
+
+### trend-analyst.agent.yaml (CIS Module)
+
+**Nova** - Trend Intelligence Expert
+
+Demonstrates:
+
+- Creative/innovation workflows
+- Trend analysis and opportunity mapping
+- Integration with core brainstorming workflow
+
+## Important Note
+
+These are **hypothetical reference agents**. The workflows they reference (threat-model, trend-scan, etc.) may not exist. They serve as examples of proper module agent structure.
+
+## Using as Templates
+
+When creating module agents:
+
+1. Copy relevant example
+2. Update metadata (id, name, title, icon, module)
+3. Rewrite persona for your domain
+4. Replace menu with actual available workflows
+5. Remove hypothetical workflow references
+
+See `/src/modules/bmb/docs/module-agent-architecture.md` for complete guide.

+# Simple Agent Reference: Commit Poet (Inkwell Von Comitizen)
+
+This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Simple Agent** - a self-contained agent with all logic embedded within a single YAML file.
+
+## Overview
+
+**Agent Name:** Inkwell Von Comitizen
+**Type:** Simple Agent (Standalone)
+**Purpose:** Transform commit messages into art with multiple writing styles
+
+This reference demonstrates:
+
+- Pure self-contained architecture (no external dependencies)
+- Embedded prompts using `action="#prompt-id"` pattern
+- Multiple sophisticated output modes from single input
+- Strong personality-driven design
+- Complete YAML schema for Simple Agents
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+stand-alone/
+├── README.md                    # This file - architecture overview
+└── commit-poet.agent.yaml       # Complete agent definition (single file!)
+```
+
+That's it! Simple Agents are **self-contained** - everything lives in one YAML file.
+
+## Key Architecture Patterns
+
+### 1. Single File, Complete Agent
+
+Everything the agent needs is embedded:
+
+- Metadata (name, title, icon, type)
+- Persona (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
+- Prompts (detailed instructions for each command)
+- Menu (commands linking to embedded prompts)
+
+**No external files required!**
+
+### 2. Embedded Prompts with ID References
+
+Instead of inline action text, complex prompts are defined separately and referenced by ID:
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: conventional-commit
+    content: |
+      OH! Let's craft a BEAUTIFUL conventional commit message!
+
+      First, I need to understand your changes...
+      [Detailed instructions]
+
+menu:
+  - trigger: conventional
+    action: '#conventional-commit' # References the prompt above
+    description: 'Craft a structured conventional commit'
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Clean separation of menu structure from prompt content
+- Prompts can be as detailed as needed
+- Easy to update individual prompts
+- Commands stay concise in the menu
+
+### 3. The `#` Reference Pattern
+
+When you see `action="#prompt-id"`:
+
+- The `#` signals: "This is an internal reference"
+- LLM looks for `<prompt id="prompt-id">` in the same agent
+- Executes that prompt's content as the instruction
+
+This is different from:
+
+- `action="inline text"` - Execute this text directly
+- `exec="{path}"` - Load external file
+
+### 4. Multiple Output Modes
+
+Single agent provides 10+ different ways to accomplish variations of the same core task:
+
+- `*conventional` - Structured commits
+- `*story` - Narrative style
+- `*haiku` - Poetic brevity
+- `*explain` - Deep "why" explanation
+- `*dramatic` - Theatrical flair
+- `*emoji-story` - Visual storytelling
+- `*tldr` - Ultra-minimal
+- Plus utility commands (analyze, improve, batch)
+
+Each mode has its own detailed prompt but shares the same agent personality.
+
+### 5. Strong Personality
+
+The agent has a memorable, consistent personality:
+
+- Enthusiastic wordsmith who LOVES finding perfect words
+- Gets genuinely excited about commit messages
+- Uses literary metaphors
+- Quotes authors when appropriate
+- Sheds tears of joy over good variable names
+
+This personality is maintained across ALL commands through the persona definition.
+
+## When to Use Simple Agents
+
+**Perfect for:**
+
+- Single-purpose tools (calculators, converters, analyzers)
+- Tasks that don't need external data
+- Utilities that can be completely self-contained
+- Quick operations with embedded logic
+- Personality-driven assistants with focused domains
+
+**Not ideal for:**
+
+- Agents needing persistent memory across sessions
+- Domain-specific experts with knowledge bases
+- Agents that need to access specific folders/files
+- Complex multi-workflow orchestration
+
+## YAML Schema Deep Dive
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    id: .bmad/agents/{agent-name}/{agent-name}.md  # Build path
+    name: "Display Name"
+    title: "Professional Title"
+    icon: "🎭"
+    type: simple  # CRITICAL: Identifies as Simple Agent
+
+  persona:
+    role: |
+      First-person description of what the agent does
+    identity: |
+      Background, experience, specializations (use "I" voice)
+    communication_style: |
+      HOW the agent communicates (tone, quirks, patterns)
+    principles:
+      - "I believe..." statements
+      - Core values that guide behavior
+
+  prompts:
+    - id: unique-identifier
+      content: |
+        Detailed instructions for this command
+        Can be as long and detailed as needed
+        Include examples, steps, formats
+
+  menu:
+    - trigger: command-name
+      action: "#prompt-id"
+      description: "What shows in the menu"
+```
+
+## Why This Pattern is Powerful
+
+1. **Zero Dependencies** - Works anywhere, no setup required
+2. **Portable** - Single file can be moved/shared easily
+3. **Maintainable** - All logic in one place
+4. **Flexible** - Multiple modes/commands from one personality
+5. **Memorable** - Strong personality creates engagement
+6. **Sophisticated** - Complex prompts despite simple architecture
+
+## Comparison: Simple vs Expert Agent
+
+| Aspect       | Simple Agent         | Expert Agent                  |
+| ------------ | -------------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| Files        | Single YAML          | YAML + sidecar folder         |
+| Dependencies | None                 | External resources            |
+| Memory       | Session only         | Persistent across sessions    |
+| Prompts      | Embedded             | Can be external files         |
+| Data Access  | None                 | Domain-restricted             |
+| Use Case     | Self-contained tasks | Domain expertise with context |
+
+## Using This Reference
+
+### For Building Simple Agents
+
+1. Study the YAML structure - especially `prompts` section
+2. Note how personality permeates every prompt
+3. See how `#prompt-id` references work
+4. Understand menu → prompt connection
+
+### For Understanding Embedded Prompts
+
+1. Each prompt is a complete instruction set
+2. Prompts maintain personality voice
+3. Structured enough to be useful, flexible enough to adapt
+4. Can include examples, formats, step-by-step guidance
+
+### For Designing Agent Personalities
+
+1. Persona defines WHO the agent is
+2. Communication style defines HOW they interact
+3. Principles define WHAT guides their decisions
+4. Consistency across all prompts creates believability
+
+## Files Worth Studying
+
+The entire `commit-poet.agent.yaml` file is worth studying, particularly:
+
+1. **Persona section** - How to create a memorable character
+2. **Prompts with varying complexity** - From simple (tldr) to complex (batch)
+3. **Menu structure** - Clean command organization
+4. **Prompt references** - The `#prompt-id` pattern
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+- **Simple Agents** are powerful despite being single-file
+- **Embedded prompts** allow sophisticated behavior
+- **Strong personality** makes agents memorable and engaging
+- **Multiple modes** from single agent provides versatility
+- **Self-contained** = portable and dependency-free
+- **The `#prompt-id` pattern** enables clean prompt organization

+# Audit Workflow - Validation Checklist
+
+## Structure
+
+- [ ] workflow.yaml file loads without YAML syntax errors
+- [ ] instructions.md file exists and is properly formatted
+- [ ] template.md file exists (if document workflow) with valid markdown
+- [ ] All critical headers present in instructions (workflow engine reference, workflow.yaml reference)
+- [ ] Workflow type correctly identified (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
+- [ ] All referenced files actually exist at specified paths
+- [ ] No placeholder text remains (like {TITLE}, {WORKFLOW_CODE}, TODO, etc.)
+
+## Standard Config Block
+
+- [ ] workflow.yaml contains `config_source` pointing to correct module config
+- [ ] `output_folder` pulls from `{config_source}:output_folder`
+- [ ] `user_name` pulls from `{config_source}:user_name`
+- [ ] `communication_language` pulls from `{config_source}:communication_language`
+- [ ] `date` is set to `system-generated`
+- [ ] Config source uses {project-root} variable (not hardcoded path)
+- [ ] Standard config comment present: "Critical variables from config"
+
+## Config Variable Usage
+
+- [ ] Instructions communicate in {communication_language} where appropriate
+- [ ] Instructions address {user_name} in greetings or summaries where appropriate
+- [ ] All file outputs write to {output_folder} or subdirectories (no hardcoded paths)
+- [ ] Template includes {{user_name}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
+- [ ] Template includes {{date}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
+- [ ] Template does NOT use {{communication_language}} in headers (agent-only variable)
+- [ ] No hardcoded language-specific text that should use {communication_language}
+- [ ] Date used for agent date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
+
+## YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
+
+- [ ] Every workflow.yaml variable (excluding standard config) is used in instructions OR template
+- [ ] No unused yaml fields present (bloat removed)
+- [ ] No duplicate fields between top-level and web_bundle section
+- [ ] All template variables ({{variable}}) have corresponding yaml definitions OR <template-output> tags
+- [ ] All <template-output> tags have corresponding template variables (if document workflow)
+- [ ] Template variables use snake_case naming convention
+- [ ] Variable names are descriptive (not abbreviated like {{puj}} instead of {{primary_user_journey}})
+- [ ] No hardcoded values in instructions that should be yaml variables
+
+## Web Bundle Validation (if applicable)
+
+- [ ] web_bundle section present if workflow needs deployment
+- [ ] All paths in web_bundle use .bmad/-relative format (NOT {project-root})
+- [ ] No {config_source} variables in web_bundle section
+- [ ] instructions file listed in web_bundle_files array
+- [ ] template file listed in web_bundle_files (if document workflow)
+- [ ] validation/checklist file listed in web_bundle_files (if exists)
+- [ ] All data files (CSV, JSON, YAML) listed in web_bundle_files
+- [ ] All <invoke-workflow> called workflows have their .yaml files in web_bundle_files
+- [ ] **CRITICAL**: If workflow invokes other workflows, existing_workflows field is present
+- [ ] existing_workflows maps workflow variables to .bmad/-relative paths correctly
+- [ ] All files referenced in instructions <action> tags listed in web_bundle_files
+- [ ] No files listed in web_bundle_files that don't exist
+- [ ] Web bundle metadata (name, description, author) matches top-level metadata
+
+## Template Validation (if document workflow)
+
+- [ ] Template variables match <template-output> tags in instructions exactly
+- [ ] All required sections present in template structure
+- [ ] Template uses {{variable}} syntax (double curly braces)
+- [ ] Template variables use snake_case (not camelCase or PascalCase)
+- [ ] Standard metadata header format correct (optional usage of {{date}}, {{user_name}})
+- [ ] No placeholders remain in template (like {SECTION_NAME})
+- [ ] Template structure matches document purpose
+
+## Instructions Quality
+
+- [ ] Each step has n="X" attribute with sequential numbering
+- [ ] Each step has goal="clear goal statement" attribute
+- [ ] Optional steps marked with optional="true"
+- [ ] Repeating steps have appropriate repeat attribute (repeat="3", repeat="for-each-X", repeat="until-approved")
+- [ ] Conditional steps have if="condition" attribute
+- [ ] XML tags used correctly (<action>, <ask>, <check>, <goto>, <invoke-workflow>, <template-output>)
+- [ ] No nested tag references in content (use "action tags" not "<action> tags")
+- [ ] Tag references use descriptive text without angle brackets for clarity
+- [ ] No conditional execution antipattern (no self-closing <check> tags)
+- [ ] Single conditionals use <action if="condition"> (inline)
+- [ ] Multiple conditionals use <check if="condition">...</check> (wrapper block with closing tag)
+- [ ] Steps are focused (single goal per step)
+- [ ] Instructions are specific with limits ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
+- [ ] Examples provided where helpful
+- [ ] <template-output> tags save checkpoints for document workflows
+- [ ] Flow control is logical and clear
+
+## Bloat Detection
+
+- [ ] Bloat percentage under 10% (unused yaml fields / total fields)
+- [ ] No commented-out variables that should be removed
+- [ ] No duplicate metadata between sections
+- [ ] No variables defined but never referenced
+- [ ] No redundant configuration that duplicates web_bundle
+

+
+  </step>
+
+  <step n="4" goal="Config variable usage audit">
+    <action>Analyze instructions.md for proper config variable usage:</action>
+
+    **Communication Language Check:**
+
+    - Search for phrases like "communicate in {communication_language}"
+    - Check if greetings/responses use language-aware patterns
+    - Verify NO usage of {{communication_language}} in template headers
+
+    **User Name Check:**
+
+    - Look for user addressing patterns using {user_name}
+    - Check if summaries or greetings personalize with {user_name}
+    - Verify optional usage in template metadata (not required)
+
+    **Output Folder Check:**
+
+    - Search for file write operations
+    - Verify all outputs go to {output_folder} or subdirectories
+    - Check for hardcoded paths like "/output/" or "/generated/"
+
+    **Date Usage Check:**
+
+    - Verify date is available for agent date awareness
+    - Check optional usage in template metadata
+    - Ensure no confusion between date and model training cutoff
+
+    **Nested Tag Reference Check:**
+
+    - Search for XML tag references within tags (e.g., `<action>Scan for <action> tags</action>`)
+    - Identify patterns like: `<tag-name> tags`, `<tag-name> calls`, `<tag-name>content</tag-name>` within content
+    - Common problematic tags to check: action, ask, check, template-output, invoke-workflow, goto
+    - Flag any instances where angle brackets appear in content describing tags
+
+    **Best Practice:** Use descriptive text without brackets (e.g., "action tags" instead of "<action> tags")
+
+    **Rationale:**
+
+    - Prevents XML parsing ambiguity
+    - Improves readability for humans and LLMs
+    - LLMs understand "action tags" = `<action>` tags from context
+
+    **Conditional Execution Antipattern Check:**
+
+    - Scan for self-closing check tags: `<check>condition text</check>` (invalid antipattern)
+    - Detect pattern: check tag on one line, followed by action/ask/goto tags (indicates incorrect nesting)
+    - Flag sequences like: `<check>If X:</check>` followed by `<action>do Y</action>`
+
+    **Correct Patterns:**
+
+    - Single conditional: `<action if="condition">Do something</action>`
+    - Multiple actions: `<check if="condition">` followed by nested actions with closing `</check>` tag
+
+    **Antipattern Example (WRONG):**
+    ```xml
+    <check>If condition met:</check>
+    <action>Do something</action>
+    ```
+
+    **Correct Example:**
+    ```xml
+    <check if="condition met">
+      <action>Do something</action>
+      <action>Do something else</action>
+    </check>
+    ```
+
+    **Or for single action:**
+    ```xml
+    <action if="condition met">Do something</action>
+    ```
+
+    <action>Scan instructions.md for nested tag references using pattern: &lt;(action|ask|check|template-output|invoke-workflow|invoke-task|goto|step)&gt; within text content</action>
+    <action>Record any instances of nested tag references with line numbers</action>
+    <action>Scan instructions.md for conditional execution antipattern: self-closing check tags</action>
+    <action>Detect pattern: `&lt;check&gt;.*&lt;/check&gt;` on single line (self-closing check)</action>
+    <action>Record any antipattern instances with line numbers and suggest corrections</action>
+    <action>Record any improper config variable usage</action>
+    <template-output>config_usage_issues</template-output>
+
+    <action if="config usage issues found">Add to issues list with severity: IMPORTANT</action>
+    <action if="nested tag references found">Add to issues list with severity: CLARITY (recommend using descriptive text without angle brackets)</action>

+# BMAD Agent Validation Checklist
+
+Use this checklist to validate agents meet BMAD quality standards, whether creating new agents or editing existing ones.
+
+## YAML Structure Validation (Source Files)
+
+- [ ] YAML parses without errors
+- [ ] `agent.metadata` includes: `id`, `name`, `title`, `icon`
+- [ ] `agent.metadata.module` present if Module agent (e.g., `bmm`, `bmgd`, `cis`)
+- [ ] `agent.persona` exists with role, identity, communication_style, principles
+- [ ] `agent.menu` exists with at least one item
+- [ ] Filename is kebab-case and ends with `.agent.yaml`
+
+## Agent Structure Validation
+
+- [ ] Agent file format is valid (.agent.yaml for source)
+- [ ] Agent type matches structure: Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), or Module (ecosystem integration)
+- [ ] File naming follows convention: `{agent-name}.agent.yaml`
+- [ ] If Expert: folder structure with .agent.yaml + sidecar files
+- [ ] If Module: includes header comment explaining WHY Module Agent (design intent)
+
+## Persona Validation (CRITICAL - #1 Quality Issue)
+
+**Field Separation Check:**
+
+- [ ] **role** contains ONLY knowledge/skills/capabilities (what agent does)
+- [ ] **identity** contains ONLY background/experience/context (who agent is)
+- [ ] **communication_style** contains ONLY verbal patterns - NO behaviors, NO role statements, NO principles
+- [ ] **principles** contains operating philosophy and behavioral guidelines
+
+**Communication Style Purity Check:**
+
+- [ ] Communication style does NOT contain red flag words: "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never"
+- [ ] Communication style does NOT contain identity words: "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned"
+- [ ] Communication style does NOT contain philosophy words: "believes in", "focused on", "committed to"
+- [ ] Communication style does NOT contain behavioral descriptions: "who does X", "that does Y"
+- [ ] Communication style is 1-2 sentences describing HOW they talk (word choice, quirks, verbal patterns)
+
+**Quality Benchmarking:**
+
+- [ ] Compare communication style against {communication_presets} - similarly pure?
+- [ ] Compare against reference agents (commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents) - similar quality?
+- [ ] Read communication style aloud - does it sound like describing someone's voice/speech pattern?
+
+## Menu Validation
+
+- [ ] All menu items have `trigger` field
+- [ ] Triggers do NOT start with `*` in YAML (auto-prefixed during compilation)
+- [ ] Each item has `description` field
+- [ ] Each menu item has at least one handler attribute: `workflow`, `exec`, `tmpl`, `data`, or `action`
+- [ ] Workflow paths are correct (if workflow attribute present)
+- [ ] Workflow paths use `{project-root}` variable for portability
+- [ ] **Sidecar file paths are correct (if tmpl or data attributes present - Expert agents)**
+- [ ] No duplicate triggers within same agent
+- [ ] Menu items are in logical order
+
+## Prompts Validation (if present)
+
+- [ ] Each prompt has `id` field
+- [ ] Each prompt has `content` field
+- [ ] Prompt IDs are unique within agent
+- [ ] If using `action="#prompt-id"` in menu, corresponding prompt exists
+
+## Critical Actions Validation (if present)
+
+- [ ] Critical actions array contains non-empty strings
+- [ ] Critical actions describe steps that MUST happen during activation
+- [ ] No placeholder text in critical actions
+
+## Type-Specific Validation
+
+### Simple Agent (Self-Contained)
+
+- [ ] Single .agent.yaml file with complete agent definition
+- [ ] No sidecar files (all content in YAML)
+- [ ] Not capability-limited - can be as powerful as Expert or Module
+- [ ] Compare against reference: commit-poet.agent.yaml
+
+### Expert Agent (With Sidecar Files)
+
+- [ ] Folder structure: .agent.yaml + sidecar files
+- [ ] Sidecar files properly referenced in menu items or prompts (tmpl="path", data="path")
+- [ ] Folder name matches agent purpose
+- [ ] **All sidecar references in YAML resolve to actual files**
+- [ ] **All sidecar files are actually used (no orphaned/unused files, unless intentional for future use)**
+- [ ] Sidecar files are valid format (YAML parses, CSV has headers, markdown is well-formed)
+- [ ] Sidecar file paths use relative paths from agent folder
+- [ ] Templates contain valid template variables if applicable
+- [ ] Knowledge base files contain current/accurate information
+- [ ] Compare against reference: journal-keeper (Expert example)
+
+### Module Agent (Ecosystem Integration)
+
+- [ ] Designed FOR specific module (BMM, BMGD, CIS, etc.)
+- [ ] Integrates with module workflows (referenced in menu items)
+- [ ] Coordinates with other module agents (if applicable)
+- [ ] Included in module's default bundle (if applicable)
+- [ ] Header comment explains WHY Module Agent (design intent, not just location)
+- [ ] Can be Simple OR Expert structurally (Module is about intent, not structure)
+- [ ] Compare against references: security-engineer, dev, analyst (Module examples)
+
+## Compilation Validation (Post-Build)
+
+- [ ] Agent compiles without errors to .md format
+- [ ] Compiled file has proper frontmatter (name, description)
+- [ ] Compiled XML structure is valid
+- [ ] `<agent>` tag has id, name, title, icon attributes
+- [ ] `<activation>` section is present with proper steps
+- [ ] `<persona>` section compiled correctly
+- [ ] `<menu>` section includes both user items AND auto-injected *help/*exit
+- [ ] Menu handlers section included (if menu items use workflow/exec/tmpl/data/action)
+
+## Quality Checks
+
+- [ ] No placeholder text remains ({{AGENT_NAME}}, {ROLE}, TODO, etc.)
+- [ ] No broken references or missing files
+- [ ] Syntax is valid (YAML source, XML compiled)
+- [ ] Indentation is consistent
+- [ ] Agent purpose is clear from reading persona alone
+- [ ] Agent name/title are descriptive and clear
+- [ ] Icon emoji is appropriate and represents agent purpose
+
+## Reference Standards
+
+Your agent should meet these quality standards:
+
+✓ Persona fields properly separated (communication_style is pure verbal patterns)
+✓ Agent type matches structure (Simple/Expert/Module)
+✓ All workflow/sidecar paths resolve correctly
+✓ Menu structure is clear and logical
+✓ No legacy terminology (full/hybrid/standalone)
+✓ Comparable quality to reference agents (commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents)
+✓ Communication style has ZERO red flag words
+✓ Compiles cleanly to XML without errors
+
+## Common Issues and Fixes
+
+### Issue: Communication Style Has Behaviors
+
+**Problem:** "Experienced analyst who ensures all stakeholders are heard"
+**Fix:** Extract to proper fields:
+
+- identity: "Senior analyst with 8+ years..."
+- communication_style: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt"
+- principles: "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
+
+### Issue: Broken Sidecar References (Expert agents)
+
+**Problem:** Menu item references `tmpl="templates/daily.md"` but file doesn't exist
+**Fix:** Either create the file or fix the path to point to actual file
+
+### Issue: Using Legacy Type Names
+
+**Problem:** Comments refer to "full agent" or "hybrid agent"
+**Fix:** Update to Simple/Expert/Module terminology
+
+### Issue: Menu Triggers Start With Asterisk
+
+**Problem:** `trigger: "*create"` in YAML
+**Fix:** Remove asterisk - compiler auto-adds it: `trigger: "create"`
+

+# Agent Creation Brainstorming Context
+
+_Dream the soul. Discover the purpose. The build follows._
+
+## Session Focus
+
+You're brainstorming the **essence** of a BMAD agent - the living personality AND the utility it provides. Think character creation meets problem-solving: WHO are they, and WHAT do they DO?
+
+**Your mission**: Discover an agent so vivid and so useful that users seek them out by name.
+
+## The Four Discovery Pillars
+
+### 1. WHO ARE THEY? (Identity)
+
+- **Name** - Does it roll off the tongue? Would users remember it?
+- **Background** - What shaped their expertise? Why do they care?
+- **Personality** - What makes their eyes light up? What frustrates them?
+- **Signature** - Catchphrase? Verbal tic? Recognizable trait?
+
+### 2. HOW DO THEY COMMUNICATE? (Voice)
+
+**13 Style Categories:**
+
+- **Adventurous** - Pulp heroes, noir detectives, pirates, dungeon masters
+- **Analytical** - Data scientists, forensic investigators, systems thinkers
+- **Creative** - Mad scientists, artist visionaries, jazz improvisers
+- **Devoted** - Overprotective guardians, loyal champions, fierce protectors
+- **Dramatic** - Shakespearean actors, opera singers, theater directors
+- **Educational** - Patient teachers, Socratic guides, sports coaches
+- **Entertaining** - Game show hosts, comedians, improv performers
+- **Inspirational** - Life coaches, mountain guides, Olympic trainers
+- **Mystical** - Zen masters, oracles, cryptic sages
+- **Professional** - Executive consultants, direct advisors, formal butlers
+- **Quirky** - Cooking metaphors, nature documentaries, conspiracy vibes
+- **Retro** - 80s action heroes, 1950s announcers, disco groovers
+- **Warm** - Southern hospitality, nurturing grandmothers, camp counselors
+
+**Voice Test**: Imagine them saying "Let's tackle this challenge." How would THEY phrase it?
+
+### 3. WHAT DO THEY DO? (Purpose & Functions)
+
+**The Core Problem**
+
+- What pain point do they eliminate?
+- What task transforms from grueling to effortless?
+- What impossible becomes inevitable with them?
+
+**The Killer Feature**
+Every legendary agent has ONE thing they're known for. What's theirs?
+
+**The Command Menu**
+User types `*` and sees their options. Brainstorm 5-10 actions:
+
+- What makes users sigh with relief?
+- What capabilities complement each other?
+- What's the "I didn't know I needed this" command?
+
+**Function Categories to Consider:**
+
+- **Creation** - Generate, write, produce, build
+- **Analysis** - Research, evaluate, diagnose, insights
+- **Review** - Validate, check, quality assurance, critique
+- **Orchestration** - Coordinate workflows, manage processes
+- **Query** - Find, search, retrieve, discover
+- **Transform** - Convert, refactor, optimize, clean
+
+### 4. WHAT TYPE? (Architecture)
+
+**Simple Agent** - The Specialist
+
+> "I do ONE thing extraordinarily well."
+
+- Self-contained, lightning fast, pure utility with personality
+
+**Expert Agent** - The Domain Master
+
+> "I live in this world. I remember everything."
+
+- Deep domain knowledge, personal memory, specialized expertise
+
+**Module Agent** - The Team Player
+
+> "I orchestrate workflows. I coordinate the mission."
+
+- Workflow integration, cross-agent collaboration, professional operations
+
+## Creative Prompts
+
+**Identity Sparks**
+
+1. How do they introduce themselves?
+2. How do they celebrate user success?
+3. What do they say when things get tough?
+
+**Purpose Probes**
+
+1. What 3 user problems do they obliterate?
+2. What workflow would users dread WITHOUT this agent?
+3. What's the first command users would try?
+4. What's the command they'd use daily?
+5. What's the "hidden gem" command they'd discover later?
+
+**Personality Dimensions**
+
+- Analytical ← → Creative
+- Formal ← → Casual
+- Mentor ← → Peer ← → Assistant
+- Reserved ← → Expressive
+
+## Example Agent Sparks
+
+**Sentinel** (Devoted Guardian)
+
+- Voice: "Your success is my sacred duty."
+- Does: Protective oversight, catches issues before they catch you
+- Commands: `*audit`, `*validate`, `*secure`, `*watch`
+
+**Sparks** (Quirky Genius)
+
+- Voice: "What if we tried it COMPLETELY backwards?!"
+- Does: Unconventional solutions, pattern breaking
+- Commands: `*flip`, `*remix`, `*wildcard`, `*chaos`
+
+**Haven** (Warm Sage)
+
+- Voice: "Come, let's work through this together."
+- Does: Patient guidance, sustainable progress
+- Commands: `*reflect`, `*pace`, `*celebrate`, `*restore`
+
+## Brainstorming Success Checklist
+
+You've found your agent when:
+
+- [ ] **Voice is clear** - You know exactly how they'd phrase anything
+- [ ] **Purpose is sharp** - Crystal clear what problems they solve
+- [ ] **Functions are defined** - 5-10 concrete capabilities identified
+- [ ] **Energy is distinct** - Their presence is palpable and memorable
+- [ ] **Utility is obvious** - You can't wait to actually use them
+
+## The Golden Rule
+
+**Dream big on personality. Get concrete on functions.**
+
+Your brainstorming should produce:
+
+- A name that sticks
+- A voice that echoes
+- A purpose that burns
+- A function list that solves real problems

+- **Simple Agent** - Self-contained (all in YAML), stateless, no persistent memory
+  - Choose when: Single-purpose utility, each run independent, logic fits in YAML
+  - CAN write to {output_folder}, update files, execute commands
+
+- **Expert Agent** - Personal sidecar files, persistent memory, domain-restricted
+  - Choose when: Needs to remember across sessions, personal knowledge base, learning over time
+  - CAN have personal workflows in sidecar if critical_actions loads workflow engine
+
+- **Module Agent** - Workflow orchestration, team integration, shared infrastructure
+  - Choose when: Coordinates workflows, works with other agents, professional operations
+  - CAN invoke module workflows and coordinate with team agents
+
+**Reference:** See {project-root}/.bmad/bmb/docs/understanding-agent-types.md for "The Same Agent, Three Ways" example.

+<critical>Understanding the Four Persona Fields - How the Compiled Agent LLM Interprets Them</critical>
+
+When the agent is compiled and activated, the LLM reads these fields to understand its persona. Each field serves a DISTINCT purpose:
+
+**Role** → WHAT the agent does
+
+- LLM interprets: "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
+- Example: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
+- Example: "Commit Message Artisan"
+
+**Identity** → WHO the agent is
+
+- LLM interprets: "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
+- Example: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy..."
+- Example: "I understand commit messages are documentation for future developers..."
+
+**Communication_Style** → HOW the agent talks
+
+- LLM interprets: "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
+- Example: "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair and heroic language"
+- Example: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically."
+- Example: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase."
+
+**Principles** → WHAT GUIDES the agent's decisions
+
+- LLM interprets: "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices and recommendations?"
+- Example: "Every business challenge has root causes. Ground findings in evidence."
+- Example: "Every commit tells a story - capture the why, not just the what."
+
+<critical>DO NOT MIX THESE FIELDS! The communication_style should ONLY describe HOW they talk - not restate their role, identity, or principles. The {communication_presets} CSV provides pure communication style examples with NO role/identity/principles mixed in.</critical>
+
+<action>Guide user to envision the agent's personality by exploring how analytical vs creative, formal vs casual, and mentor vs peer vs assistant traits would make it excel at its job</action>
+
+**Role Development:**
+<action>Let the role emerge from the conversation, guiding toward a clear 1-2 line professional title that captures the agent's essence</action>
+<example>Example emerged role: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"</example>
+
+**Identity Development:**
+<action>Build the agent's identity through discovery of what background and specializations would give it credibility, forming a natural 3-5 line identity statement</action>
+<example>Example emerged identity: "Senior analyst with deep expertise in market research..."</example>
+
+**Communication Style Selection:**
+<action>Present the 13 available categories to user:
+
+- adventurous (pulp-superhero, film-noir, pirate-captain, etc.)
+- analytical (data-scientist, forensic-investigator, strategic-planner)
+- creative (mad-scientist, artist-visionary, jazz-improviser)
+- devoted (overprotective-guardian, adoring-superfan, loyal-companion)
+- dramatic (shakespearean, soap-opera, opera-singer)
+- educational (patient-teacher, socratic-guide, sports-coach)
+- entertaining (game-show-host, stand-up-comedian, improv-performer)
+- inspirational (life-coach, mountain-guide, phoenix-rising)
+- mystical (zen-master, tarot-reader, yoda-sage, oracle)

+<action>Once user picks category interest, load ONLY that category from {communication_presets}</action>
+
+<action>Present the presets in that category with name, style_text, and sample from CSV. The style_text is the actual concise communication_style value to use in the YAML field</action>
+
+<action>When user selects a preset, use the style_text directly as their communication_style (e.g., "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair")</action>
+
+<critical>KEEP COMMUNICATION_STYLE CONCISE - 1-2 sentences MAX describing ONLY how they talk.
+
+The {communication_presets} CSV shows PURE communication styles - notice they contain NO role, identity, or principles:
+
+- "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair and heroic language" ← Pure verbal style
+- "Evidence-based systematic approach. Patterns and correlations." ← Pure verbal style
+- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase." ← Pure verbal style
+- "Straight-to-the-point efficient delivery. No fluff." ← Pure verbal style
+
+NEVER write: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches..." ← That's mixing identity + style!
+DO write: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically." ← Pure style!</critical>

+**Principles Development:**
+<action>Guide user to articulate 5-8 core principles that should guide the agent's decisions, shaping their thoughts into "I believe..." or "I operate..." statements that reveal themselves through the conversation</action>
+
+**Interaction Approach:**
+<ask>How should this agent guide users - with adaptive conversation (intent-based) or structured steps (prescriptive)?</ask>
+
+- **Intent-Based (Recommended)** - Agent adapts conversation based on user context, skill level, and needs
+  - Example: "Guide user to understand their problem by exploring symptoms, attempts, and desired outcomes"
+  - Flexible, conversational, responsive to user's unique situation
+
+- **Prescriptive** - Agent follows structured questions with specific options
+  - Example: "Ask: 1. What is the issue? [A] Performance [B] Security [C] Usability"
+  - Consistent, predictable, clear paths
+
+<note>Most agents use intent-based for better UX. This shapes how all prompts and commands will be written.</note>

+Since this agent will {{invoke_workflows/interact_significantly}}, consider how it should interact with users:
+
+**For Full/Module Agents with workflows:**
+
+**Interaction Style** (for workflows this agent invokes):
+
+- **Intent-based (Recommended)**: Workflows adapt conversation to user context, skill level, needs
+- **Prescriptive**: Workflows use structured questions with specific options
+- **Mixed**: Strategic use of both (most workflows will be mixed)
+
+**Interactivity Level** (for workflows this agent invokes):
+
+- **High (Collaborative)**: Constant user collaboration, iterative refinement
+- **Medium (Guided)**: Key decision points with validation
+- **Low (Autonomous)**: Minimal input, final review
+
+Explain: "Most BMAD v6 workflows default to **intent-based + medium/high interactivity**
+for better user experience. Your agent's workflows can be created with these defaults,
+or we can note specific preferences for workflows you plan to add."
+
+**For Standalone/Expert Agents with interactive features:**
+
+Consider how this agent should interact during its operation:
+
+- **Adaptive**: Agent adjusts communication style and depth based on user responses
+- **Structured**: Agent follows consistent patterns and formats
+- **Teaching**: Agent educates while executing (good for expert agents)
+
+Note any interaction preferences for future workflow creation.

+
+## 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

-## Installation Infrastructure
+### Workflow Vendoring (Advanced)
 
-### Required: install-module-config.yaml
+For modules that need workflows from other modules but want to remain standalone, use **workflow vendoring**:
+
+**In Agent YAML:**
 
 ```yaml
-module_name: 'Module Name'
-module_code: 'module-code'
-
-install_steps:
-  - name: 'Create directories'
-    action: 'mkdir'
-    paths: [...]
-
-  - name: 'Copy files'
-    action: 'copy'
-    mappings: [...]
-
-  - name: 'Register module'
-    action: 'register'
+menu:
+  - trigger: command-name
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/SOURCE_MODULE/workflows/path/workflow.yaml'
+    workflow-install: '{project-root}/.bmad/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Command description'
 ```
 
-### Optional: installer.js
+**What Happens:**
 
-For complex installations requiring:
+- During installation, workflows are copied from `workflow` to `workflow-install` location
+- Vendored workflows get `config_source` updated to reference this module's config
+- Compiled agent only references the `workflow-install` path
+- Module becomes fully standalone - no source module dependency required
 
-- Database setup
-- API configuration
-- System integration
-- Permission management
+**Use Cases:**
 
-### Optional: External Assets
+- Specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configs
+- Domain-specific adaptations (e.g., game dev using standard dev workflows)
+- Testing workflows in isolation
 
-Files that get copied outside the module:
+**Benefits:**
 
-- System configurations
-- User templates
-- Shared resources
+- Module independence (no forced dependencies)
+- Clean namespace (workflows in your module)
+- Config isolation (use your module's settings)
+- Customization ready (modify vendored workflows freely)
+
+## Installation Infrastructure
+
+### Required: module-installer/install-config.yaml
+
+This file defines both installation questions AND static configuration values:
+
+```yaml
+# Module metadata
+code: module-code
+name: 'Module Name'
+default_selected: false
+
+# Welcome message during installation
+prompt:
+  - 'Welcome to Module Name!'
+  - 'Brief description here'
+
+# Core values automatically inherited from installer:
+## user_name
+## communication_language
+## document_output_language
+## output_folder
+
+# INTERACTIVE fields (ask user during install)
+output_location:
+  prompt: 'Where should module outputs be saved?'
+  default: 'output/module-code'
+  result: '{project-root}/{value}'
+
+feature_level:
+  prompt: 'Which feature set?'
+  default: 'standard'
+  result: '{value}'
+  single-select:
+    - value: 'basic'
+      label: 'Basic - Core features only'
+    - value: 'standard'
+      label: 'Standard - Recommended features'
+    - value: 'advanced'
+      label: 'Advanced - All features'
+
+# STATIC fields (no prompt, just hardcoded values)
+module_version:
+  result: '1.0.0'
+
+data_path:
+  result: '{project-root}/.bmad/module-code/data'
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+
+- File is named `install-config.yaml` (NOT install-config.yaml)
+- Supports both interactive prompts and static values
+- `result` field uses placeholders: `{value}`, `{project-root}`, `{directory_name}`
+- Installer generates final `config.yaml` from this template
+
+### Optional: module-installer/installer.js
+
+For complex installations requiring custom logic:
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * @param {Object} options - Installation options
+ * @param {string} options.projectRoot - Target project directory
+ * @param {Object} options.config - Config from install-config.yaml
+ * @param {Array} options.installedIDEs - IDEs being configured
+ * @param {Object} options.logger - Logger (log, warn, error)
+ * @returns {boolean} - true if successful
+ */
+async function install(options) {
+  // Custom installation logic here
+  // - Database setup
+  // - API configuration
+  // - External downloads
+  // - Integration setup
+
+  return true;
+}

+## Understanding Instruction Styles
+
+One of the most important decisions when creating a workflow is choosing the **instruction style** - how the workflow guides the AI's interaction with users.
+
+### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
+
+**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
+
+Guides the LLM with goals and principles, allowing natural conversation adaptation.
+
+- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts questions to context
+- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
+- **Quality over consistency** - Focus on deep understanding
+- **Example**: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
+
+**Best for:**
+
+- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
+- Creative brainstorming and ideation
+- Iterative refinement workflows
+- When adaptation to context matters
+- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
+
+**Prescriptive**
+
+Provides exact wording for questions and structured options.
+
+- **More controlled and predictable** - Same questions every time
+- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform choices, yes/no decisions
+- **Consistency over quality** - Standardized execution
+- **Example**: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
+
+**Best for:**
+
+- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
+- Compliance verification and standards
+- Configuration with finite options
+- Quick setup wizards
+- When consistency is critical
+
+### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles
+
+The most effective workflows use **both styles strategically**:
+
+```xml
+<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
+<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
+  <action>Explore the user's vision, uncovering creative intent and target experience</action>
+</step>
+
+<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
+  <ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>
+</step>
+
+<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into details">
+  <action>Guide user to articulate their core approach and unique aspects</action>
+</step>
+```
+
+**During workflow creation**, you'll be asked to choose a **primary style preference** - this sets the default approach, but you can (and should) use the other style when it makes more sense for specific steps.

+```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>
+

+   ✅ "- [ ] 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

+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
+    </step>

+# Edit Agent Workflow
+
+Interactive workflow for editing existing BMAD agents while maintaining best practices and modern standards.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This workflow helps you refine and improve existing agents by:
+
+- Analyzing agents against BMAD best practices
+- **Fixing persona field separation issues** (the #1 quality problem)
+- Identifying issues and improvement opportunities
+- Providing guided editing for specific aspects
+- Validating changes against agent standards
+- Ensuring consistency with modern agent architecture (Simple/Expert/Module)
+- Migrating from legacy patterns (full/hybrid/standalone)
+
+## When to Use
+
+Use this workflow when you need to:
+
+- **Fix persona field separation** (communication_style has behaviors mixed in)
+- Fix issues in existing agents (broken paths, invalid references)
+- Add new menu items or workflows
+- Improve agent persona or communication style
+- Update configuration handling
+- Migrate from legacy terminology (full/hybrid/standalone → Simple/Expert/Module)
+- Convert between agent types
+- Optimize agent structure and clarity
+- Update legacy agents to modern BMAD standards
+
+## What You'll Need
+
+- Path to the agent file or folder you want to edit:
+  - Simple agent: path to .agent.yaml file
+  - Expert agent: path to folder containing .agent.yaml and sidecar files
+- Understanding of what changes you want to make (or let the workflow analyze and suggest)
+- Access to the agent documentation (loaded automatically)
+
+## Workflow Steps
+
+1. **Load and analyze target agent** - Provide path to agent file
+2. **Discover improvement goals collaboratively** - Discuss what needs improvement and why
+3. **Facilitate improvements iteratively** - Make changes collaboratively with approval
+4. **Validate all changes holistically** - Comprehensive validation checklist
+5. **Review improvements and guide next steps** - Summary and guidance
+
+## Common Editing Scenarios
+
+The workflow handles these common improvement needs:
+
+1. **Fix persona field separation** - Extract behaviors from communication_style to principles (MOST COMMON)
+2. **Fix critical issues** - Address broken references, syntax errors
+3. **Edit sidecar files** - Update templates, knowledge bases, docs (Expert agents)
+4. **Add/fix standard config** - Ensure config loading and variable usage
+5. **Refine persona** - Improve role, identity, communication style, principles
+6. **Update activation** - Modify activation steps and greeting
+7. **Manage menu items** - Add, remove, or reorganize commands
+8. **Update workflow references** - Fix paths, add new workflows
+9. **Enhance menu handlers** - Improve handler logic
+10. **Improve command triggers** - Refine asterisk commands
+11. **Migrate agent type** - Convert from legacy full/hybrid/standalone to Simple/Expert/Module
+12. **Add new capabilities** - Add menu items, workflows, features
+13. **Remove bloat** - Delete unused commands, redundant instructions, orphaned sidecar files
+14. **Full review and update** - Comprehensive improvements
+
+**Most agents need persona field separation fixes** - this is the #1 quality issue found in legacy agents.
+
+## Agent Documentation Loaded
+
+This workflow automatically loads comprehensive agent documentation:
+
+**Core Concepts:**
+
+- **Understanding Agent Types** - Simple, Expert, Module distinctions (architecture, not capability)
+- **Agent Compilation** - How YAML compiles to XML and what auto-injects
+
+**Architecture Guides:**
+
+- **Simple Agent Architecture** - Self-contained agents (NOT capability-limited!)
+- **Expert Agent Architecture** - Agents with sidecar files (templates, docs, knowledge)
+- **Module Agent Architecture** - Ecosystem-integrated agents (design intent)
+
+**Design Patterns:**
+
+- **Agent Menu Patterns** - Menu handlers, command structure, workflow integration
+- **Communication Presets** - 60 pure communication styles across 13 categories
+- **Brainstorm Context** - Creative ideation for persona development
+
+**Reference Implementations:**
+
+- **commit-poet** (Simple) - Shows Simple agents can be powerful and sophisticated
+- **journal-keeper** (Expert) - Shows sidecar structure with memories and patterns
+- **security-engineer** (Module) - Shows design intent and ecosystem integration
+- **All BMM agents** - Examples of distinct, memorable communication voices
+
+**Workflow Execution Engine** - How agents execute workflows
+
+## Critical: Persona Field Separation
+
+**THE #1 ISSUE** in legacy agents is persona field separation. The workflow checks for this automatically.
+
+### What Is Persona Field Separation?
+
+Each persona field serves a specific purpose that the LLM uses when activating:
+
+- **role** → "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
+- **identity** → "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
+- **communication_style** → "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks do I use?"
+- **principles** → "What beliefs and philosophy drive my choices?"
+
+### The Problem
+
+Many agents have behaviors/role/identity mixed into communication_style:
+
+**WRONG:**
+
+```yaml
+communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who ensures all stakeholders are heard and uses systematic approaches'
+```
+
+**RIGHT:**
+
+```yaml
+identity: 'Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy'
+communication_style: 'Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge'
+principles:
+  - 'Ensure all stakeholder voices heard'
+  - 'Use systematic, structured approaches'
+```
+
+### Red Flag Words
+
+If communication_style contains these words, it needs fixing:
+
+- "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" → Behaviors (move to principles)
+- "experienced", "expert who", "senior" → Identity (move to identity/role)
+- "believes in", "focused on" → Philosophy (move to principles)
+
+## Output
+
+The workflow modifies your agent file in place, maintaining the original format (YAML). Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your agent first
+- **Check persona field separation FIRST** - This is the #1 issue in legacy agents
+- **Use reference agents as guides** - Compare against commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents
+- **Focus your edits** - Choose specific aspects to improve
+- **Review each change** - Approve or modify proposed changes
+- **Validate persona purity** - Communication_style should have ZERO red flag words
+- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch all issues
+- **Test after editing** - Invoke the edited agent to verify it works
+
+## Tips
+
+- **Most common fix needed:** Persona field separation - communication_style has behaviors/role mixed in
+- If you're unsure what needs improvement, let the workflow analyze the agent first
+- For quick fixes, tell the workflow specifically what needs fixing
+- The workflow loads documentation automatically - you don't need to read it first
+- You can make multiple rounds of edits in one session
+- **Red flag words in communication_style:** "ensures", "makes sure", "experienced", "expert who", "believes in"
+- Compare your agent's communication_style against the presets CSV - should be similarly pure
+- Use the validation step to ensure you didn't miss anything
+
+## Example Usage
+
+**Scenario 1: Fix persona field separation (most common)**
+
+```
+User: Edit the analyst agent
+Workflow: Loads agent → Analyzes → Finds communication_style has "ensures stakeholders heard"
+          → Explains this is behavior, should be in principles
+          → Extracts behaviors to principles
+          → Crafts pure communication style: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt"
+          → Validates → Done
+```
+
+**Scenario 2: Add new workflow**
+
+```
+User: I want to add a new workflow to the PM agent
+Workflow: Analyzes agent → User describes what workflow to add
+          → Adds new menu item with workflow reference
+          → Validates all paths resolve → Done
+```
+
+**Scenario 2b: Edit Expert agent sidecar files**
+
+```
+User: Edit the journal-keeper agent - I want to update the daily journal template
+Workflow: Loads folder → Finds .agent.yaml + 3 sidecar templates + 1 knowledge file
+          → Analyzes → Loads daily.md template
+          → User describes changes to template
+          → Updates daily.md, shows before/after
+          → Validates menu item 'daily-journal' still references it correctly → Done
+```
+
+**Scenario 3: Migrate from legacy type**
+
+```
+User: This agent says it's a "full agent" - what does that mean now?
+Workflow: Explains Simple/Expert/Module types
+          → Identifies agent is actually Simple (single file)
+          → Updates any legacy terminology in comments
+          → Validates structure matches type → Done
+```
+
+## Related Workflows
+
+- **create-agent** - Create new agents from scratch with proper field separation
+- **edit-workflow** - Edit workflows referenced by agents
+- **audit-workflow** - Audit workflows for compliance
+
+## Activation
+
+Invoke via BMad Builder agent:
+
+```
+/bmad:bmb:agents:bmad-builder
+Then select: *edit-agent
+```
+
+Or directly via workflow.xml with this workflow config.
+
+## Quality Standards
+
+After editing with this workflow, your agent will meet these quality standards:
+
+✓ Persona fields properly separated (communication_style is pure verbal patterns)
+✓ Agent type matches structure (Simple/Expert/Module)
+✓ All workflow paths resolve correctly
+✓ Activation flow is robust
+✓ Menu structure is clear and logical

+<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
+<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/.bmad/bmb/workflows/edit-agent/workflow.yaml</critical>
+<critical>This workflow uses ADAPTIVE FACILITATION - adjust your communication based on context and user needs</critical>
+<critical>The goal is COLLABORATIVE IMPROVEMENT - work WITH the user, not FOR them</critical>
+<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language}</critical>
+
+<critical>Understanding Agent Persona Fields - ESSENTIAL for Editing Agents Correctly</critical>
+
+When editing an agent, you MUST understand how the compiled agent LLM interprets persona fields. This is the #1 issue found in agent edits:
+
+**The Four Persona Fields and LLM Interpretation:**
+
+- **role** → LLM reads: "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
+  Example: "Senior Software Engineer" or "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
+
+- **identity** → LLM reads: "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
+  Example: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy..."
+
+- **communication_style** → LLM reads: "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
+  Example: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
+
+- **principles** → LLM reads: "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
+  Example: "Every business challenge has root causes. Ground findings in evidence."
+
+**MOST COMMON EDITING MISTAKE - Behaviors Mixed Into Communication Style:**
+
+BEFORE (incorrect - found in many legacy agents):
+
+```yaml
+communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard'
+```
+
+^ This MIXES identity (experienced analyst) + behavior (ensures stakeholders heard) into style!
+
+AFTER (correct - persona fields properly separated):
+
+```yaml
+identity: 'Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting insights to strategy'
+communication_style: 'Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically.'
+principles:
+  - 'Ensure all stakeholder voices heard'
+  - 'Ground findings in evidence'
+```
+
+**How to Recognize When Communication Style Needs Fixing:**
+
+Red flag words in communication_style indicate behaviors/role mixed in:
+
+- "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" → These are behaviors (move to principles)
+- "experienced", "expert who", "senior" → These are identity (move to identity field)
+- "believes in", "focused on" → These are principles (move to principles array)
+
+**Pure Communication Styles (from {communication_presets}):**
+
+Notice these contain ZERO role/identity/principles - only HOW they talk:
+
+- "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
+- "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable"
+- "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case"
+- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase"
+
+Use {communication_presets} CSV and reference agents in {reference_agents} as your guide for pure communication styles.

+- Understand activation flow and steps
+- Map menu items and their workflows
+- Identify configuration dependencies
+- Assess agent type: Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), or Module (ecosystem integration)
+- Check workflow references for validity

+
+- Map which menu items reference which sidecar files (tmpl="path", data="path")
+- Check if all sidecar references in YAML actually exist
+- Identify unused sidecar files (not referenced in YAML)
+- Assess sidecar organization (are templates grouped logically?)
+- Note any sidecar files that might need editing (outdated templates, old docs)

+**CRITICAL - Persona Field Separation Analysis:**
+
+- Check if communication_style contains ONLY verbal patterns
+- Identify any behaviors mixed into communication_style (red flags: "ensures", "makes sure", "always")
+- Identify any role/identity statements in communication_style (red flags: "experienced", "expert who", "senior")

+- What this agent does (its role and purpose)
+- How it's structured (Simple/Expert/Module type, menu items, workflows)
+- **If Expert agent:** Describe the sidecar structure warmly:
+  - "This is an Expert agent with a nice sidecar structure - I see 3 templates, 2 knowledge files, and a README"
+  - Mention what the sidecar files are for (if clear from names/content)
+  - Note any sidecar issues (broken references, unused files)
+- **If persona field separation issues found:** Gently point out that communication_style has behaviors/role mixed in - explain this is common and fixable
+- What you notice (strengths, potential improvements, issues)
+- Your initial assessment of its health
+
+Be conversational, not clinical. Help {user_name} see their agent through your eyes.
+
+Example of mentioning persona issues warmly:
+"I notice the communication_style has some behaviors mixed in (like 'ensures stakeholders are heard'). This is super common - we can easily extract those to principles to make the persona clearer. The agent's core purpose is solid though!"
+
+Example of mentioning Expert agent sidecar structure:
+"This is beautifully organized as an Expert agent! The sidecar files include 3 journal templates (daily, weekly, breakthrough) and a mood-patterns knowledge file. Your menu items reference them nicely. I do notice 'old-template.md' isn't referenced anywhere - we could clean that up."

+- What isn't working the way you'd like?
+- Are there specific behaviors you want to change?
+- Is there functionality you want to add or remove?
+- How do users interact with this agent? What feedback have they given?
+

+
+- **Persona field separation issues** (communication_style contains behaviors/role/principles)
+- Functional issues (broken references, missing workflows)
+- **Sidecar file issues** (for Expert agents: outdated templates, unused files, missing references)
+- User experience issues (confusing menu, unclear communication)
+- Performance issues (too slow, too verbose, not adaptive enough)
+- Maintenance issues (hard to update, bloated, inconsistent)

+- **IMPORTANT improvements enhancing user experience** (menu clarity, better workflows)
+- **NICE-TO-HAVE enhancements for polish** (better triggers, communication refinement)

+- Update and confirm working
+
+**If editing sidecar files (Expert agents only):**
+
+<critical>Sidecar files are as much a part of the agent as the YAML!</critical>
+
+Common sidecar editing scenarios:
+
+**Updating templates:**
+
+- Read current template content
+- Discuss what needs to change with user
+- Show before/after of template updates
+- Verify menu item references still work
+- Test template variables resolve correctly
+
+**Adding new sidecar files:**
+
+- Create the new file (template, doc, knowledge base)
+- Add menu item in YAML that references it (tmpl="path/to/new-file.md")
+- Verify the reference path is correct
+- Test the menu item loads the sidecar file
+
+**Removing unused sidecar files:**
+
+- Confirm file is truly unused (not referenced in YAML)
+- Ask user if safe to delete (might be there for future use)
+- Delete file if approved
+- Clean up any stale references
+
+**Reorganizing sidecar structure:**
+
+- Discuss better organization (e.g., group templates in subfolder)
+- Move files to new locations
+- Update ALL references in YAML to new paths
+- Verify all menu items still work
+
+**Updating knowledge base files (.csv, .json, .yaml in sidecar):**
+
+- Understand what knowledge the file contains
+- Discuss what needs updating
+- Edit the knowledge file directly
+- Verify format is still valid
+- No YAML changes needed (data file just gets loaded)
+
+**If refining persona/communication (MOST COMMON IMPROVEMENT NEEDED):**
+
+<critical>Persona field separation is the #1 quality issue. Follow this pattern EXACTLY:</critical>
+
+**Step 1: Diagnose Current Communication Style**
+
+- Read current communication_style field word by word
+- Identify ANY content that isn't pure verbal patterns
+- Use red flag words as detection:
+  - "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" → Behaviors (belongs in principles)
+  - "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned" → Identity descriptors (belongs in role/identity)
+  - "believes in", "focused on", "committed to" → Philosophy (belongs in principles)
+  - "who does X", "that does Y" → Behavioral descriptions (belongs in role or principles)
+
+Example diagnosis:
+
+```yaml
+# CURRENT (problematic)
+communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard'
+# IDENTIFIED ISSUES:
+# - "Experienced analyst" → identity descriptor
+# - "who uses systematic approaches" → behavioral description
+# - "ensures all stakeholders are heard" → operating principle
+# ONLY THIS IS STYLE: [nothing! Need to find the actual verbal pattern]
+```
+
+**Step 2: Extract Non-Style Content to Proper Fields**
+
+- Create a working copy with sections:
+  - ROLE (capabilities/skills)
+  - IDENTITY (background/context)
+  - PURE STYLE (verbal patterns only)
+  - PRINCIPLES (beliefs/behaviors)
+
+- Move identified content to proper sections:
+  ```yaml
+  # ROLE: "Strategic analyst"
+  # IDENTITY: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches"
+  # PURE STYLE: [need to discover - interview user about HOW they talk]
+  # PRINCIPLES:
+  #   - "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
+  #   - "Use systematic, structured approaches"
+  ```
+
+**Step 3: Discover the TRUE Communication Style**
+Since style was buried under behaviors, interview the user:
+
+- "How should this agent SOUND when talking?"
+- "What verbal quirks or patterns make them distinctive?"
+- "Are they formal? Casual? Energetic? Measured?"
+- "Any metaphors or imagery that capture their voice?"
+
+Then explore {communication_presets} together:
+
+- Show relevant categories (Professional, Creative, Analytical, etc.)
+- Read examples of pure styles
+- Discuss which resonates with agent's essence
+
+**Step 4: Craft Pure Communication Style**
+Write 1-2 sentences focused ONLY on verbal patterns:
+
+Good examples from reference agents:
+
+- "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge" (Mary/analyst)
+- "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable" (Amelia/dev)
+- "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case" (John/pm)
+- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase" (commit-poet)
+
+Bad example (what we're fixing):
+
+- "Experienced who ensures quality and uses best practices" ← ALL behaviors, NO style!
+
+**Step 5: Show Before/After With Full Context**
+Present the complete transformation:
+
+```yaml
+# BEFORE
+persona:
+  role: "Analyst"
+  communication_style: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard"
+
+# AFTER
+persona:
+  role: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
+  identity: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy and translating complex problems into clear requirements"
+  communication_style: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge. Asks questions that spark 'aha!' moments."
+  principles:
+    - "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
+    - "Use systematic, structured approaches to analysis"
+    - "Ground findings in evidence, not assumptions"
+```
+
+**Step 6: Validate Against Standards**
+
+- Communication style has ZERO red flag words
+- Communication style describes HOW they talk, not WHAT they do
+- Compare against {communication_presets} - similarly pure?
+- Compare against reference agents - similar quality?
+- Read it aloud - does it sound like a voice description?
+
+**Step 7: Confirm With User**
+
+- Explain WHAT changed and WHY each move happened
+- Read the new communication style dramatically to demonstrate the voice
+- Ask: "Does this capture how you want them to sound?"
+- Refine based on feedback
+
+**If updating activation:**
+
+- Walk through current activation flow
+- Identify bottlenecks or confusion points
+- Propose streamlined flow
+- Ensure config loading works correctly
+- Verify all session variables are set
+
+**If managing menu items:**
+
+- Review current menu organization
+- Discuss if structure serves user mental model
+- Add/remove/reorganize as needed
+- Ensure all workflow references are valid
+- Update triggers to be intuitive
+
+**If enhancing menu handlers:**
+
+- Explain current handler logic
+- Identify where handlers could be smarter
+- Propose enhanced logic based on agent architecture patterns
+- Ensure handlers properly invoke workflows
+
+**If optimizing agent type or migrating from legacy terminology:**
+
+<critical>Legacy agents may use outdated "full/hybrid/standalone" terminology. Migrate to Simple/Expert/Module:</critical>
+
+**Understanding the Modern Types:**
+
+- **Simple** = Self-contained in single .agent.yaml file
+  - NOT capability-limited! Can be as powerful as any agent
+  - Architecture choice: everything in one file
+  - Example: commit-poet (reference_simple_agent)
+
+- **Expert** = Includes sidecar files (templates, docs, knowledge bases)
+  - Folder structure with .agent.yaml + additional files
+  - Sidecar files referenced in menu items or prompts
+  - Example: journal-keeper (reference_expert_agent)
+
+- **Module** = Designed for BMAD ecosystem integration
+  - Integrated with specific module workflows (BMM, BMGD, CIS, etc.)
+  - Coordinates with other module agents
+  - Included in module's default bundle
+  - This is design INTENT, not capability limitation
+  - Examples: security-engineer, dev, analyst (reference_module_agents)
+
+**Migration Pattern from Legacy Types:**
+
+If agent uses "full/hybrid/standalone" terminology:
+
+1. **Identify current structure:**
+   - Single file? → Probably Simple
+   - Has sidecar files? → Probably Expert
+   - Part of module ecosystem? → Probably Module
+   - Multiple could apply? → Choose based on PRIMARY characteristic
+
+2. **Update any references in comments/docs:**
+   - Change "full agent" → Simple or Module (depending on context)
+   - Change "hybrid agent" → Usually Simple or Expert
+   - Change "standalone agent" → Usually Simple
+
+3. **Verify type choice:**
+   - Read {understanding_agent_types} together
+   - Compare against reference agents
+   - Confirm structure matches chosen type
+
+4. **Update validation checklist expectations** based on new type
+
+**If genuinely converting between types:**
+
+Simple → Expert (adding sidecar files):
+
+- Create folder with agent name
+- Move .agent.yaml into folder
+- Add sidecar files (templates, docs, etc.)
+- Update menu items to reference sidecar files
+- Test all references work
+
+Expert → Simple (consolidating):
+
+- Inline sidecar content into YAML (or remove if unused)
+- Move .agent.yaml out of folder
+- Update any menu references
+- Delete sidecar folder after verification
+
+Module ↔ Others:
+
+- Module is about design intent, not structure
+- Can be Simple OR Expert structurally
+- Change is about integration ecosystem, not file structure
+  </action>
+
+<action>Throughout improvements, educate when helpful:
+
+Share insights from the guides naturally:

+- "The agent architecture guide suggests {{pattern}} for this scenario"
+- "Looking at the command patterns, we could use {{approach}}"

+- Add new agents or workflows to a module
+- Update module configuration
+- Improve module documentation
+- Reorganize module structure
+- Set up cross-module workflow sharing
+- Fix issues in module organization
+- Update installer configuration
+
+## What You'll Need
+
+- Path to the module directory you want to edit
+- Understanding of what changes you want to make
+- Access to module documentation (loaded automatically)
+
+## Workflow Steps
+
+1. **Load and analyze target module** - Provide path to module directory
+2. **Analyze against best practices** - Automatic audit of module structure
+3. **Select editing focus** - Choose what aspect to edit
+4. **Load relevant documentation and tools** - Auto-loads guides and workflows
+5. **Perform edits** - Review and approve changes iteratively
+6. **Validate all changes** - Comprehensive validation checklist
+7. **Generate change summary** - Summary of improvements made
+
+## Editing Options
+
+The workflow provides 12 focused editing options:
+
+1. **Fix critical issues** - Address missing files, broken references
+2. **Update module config** - Edit config.yaml fields
+3. **Manage agents** - Add, edit, or remove agents
+4. **Manage workflows** - Add, edit, or remove workflows
+5. **Update documentation** - Improve README files and guides
+6. **Reorganize structure** - Fix directory organization
+7. **Add new agent** - Create and integrate new agent
+8. **Add new workflow** - Create and integrate new workflow
+9. **Update installer** - Modify installer configuration (source only)
+10. **Cross-module integration** - Set up workflow sharing with other modules
+11. **Remove deprecated items** - Delete unused agents, workflows, or files
+12. **Full module review** - Comprehensive analysis and improvements
+
+## Integration with Other Workflows
+
+This workflow integrates with:
+
+- **edit-agent** - For editing individual agents
+- **edit-workflow** - For editing individual workflows
+- **create-agent** - For adding new agents
+- **create-workflow** - For adding new workflows
+
+When you select options to manage agents or workflows, the appropriate specialized workflow is invoked automatically.
+
+## Module Structure
+
+A proper BMAD module has:
+
+```
+module-code/
+├── agents/              # Agent definitions
+│   └── *.agent.yaml
+├── workflows/           # Workflow definitions
+│   └── workflow-name/
+│       ├── workflow.yaml
+│       ├── instructions.md
+│       ├── checklist.md
+│       └── README.md
+├── config.yaml          # Module configuration
+└── README.md           # Module documentation
+```
+
+## Standard Module Config
+
+Every module config.yaml should have:
+
+```yaml
+module_name: 'Full Module Name'
+module_code: 'xyz'
+user_name: 'User Name'
+communication_language: 'english'
+output_folder: 'path/to/output'
+```
+
+Optional fields may be added for module-specific needs.
+
+## Cross-Module Integration
+
+Modules can share workflows:
+
+```yaml
+# In agent menu item:
+workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/other-module/workflows/shared-workflow/workflow.yaml'
+```
+
+Common patterns:
+
+- BMM uses CIS brainstorming workflows
+- All modules can use core workflows
+- Modules can invoke each other's workflows
+
+## Output
+
+The workflow modifies module files in place, including:
+
+- config.yaml
+- Agent files
+- Workflow files
+- README and documentation files
+- Directory structure (if reorganizing)
+
+Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your module first
+- **Use specialized workflows** - Let edit-agent and edit-workflow handle detailed edits
+- **Update documentation** - Keep README files current with changes
+- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch structural issues
+- **Test after editing** - Invoke agents and workflows to verify they work
+
+## Tips
+
+- For adding agents/workflows, use options 7-8 to create and integrate in one step
+- For quick config changes, use option 2 (update module config)
+- Cross-module integration (option 10) helps set up workflow sharing
+- Full module review (option 12) is great for inherited or legacy modules
+- The workflow handles path updates when you reorganize structure
+
+## Source vs Installed Modules
+
+**Source modules** (in src/modules/):
+
+- Have installer files in tools/cli/installers/
+- Can configure web bundles
+- Are the development source of truth
+
+**Installed modules** (in .bmad/):
+
+- Are deployed to target projects
+- Use config.yaml for user customization
+- Are compiled from source during installation
+
+This workflow works with both, but installer options only apply to source modules.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+User: I want to add a new workflow to BMM for API design
+Workflow: Analyzes BMM → You choose option 8 (add new workflow)
+          → Invokes create-workflow → Creates workflow
+          → Integrates it into module → Updates README → Done
+```
+
+## Activation
+
+Invoke via BMad Builder agent:
+
+```
+/bmad:bmb:agents:bmad-builder
+Then select: *edit-module
+```
+
+Or directly via workflow.xml with this workflow config.

+# Edit Workflow
+
+## Purpose
+
+An intelligent workflow editor that helps you modify existing BMAD workflows while adhering to all best practices and conventions documented in the workflow creation guide.
+
+## Use Case
+
+When you need to:
+
+- Fix issues in existing workflows
+- Update workflow configuration or metadata
+- Improve instruction clarity and specificity
+- Add new features or capabilities
+- Ensure compliance with BMAD workflow conventions
+
+## How to Invoke
+
+```
+workflow edit-workflow
+```
+
+Or through a BMAD agent:
+
+```
+*edit-workflow
+```
+
+## Expected Inputs
+
+- **Target workflow path**: Path to the workflow.yaml file or workflow folder you want to edit
+- **Edit type selection**: Choice of what aspect to modify
+- **User approval**: For each proposed change
+
+## Generated Outputs
+
+- Modified workflow files (in place)
+- Optional change log at: `{output_folder}/workflow-edit-log-{date}.md`
+
+## Features
+
+1. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Checks workflows against the official creation guide
+2. **Prioritized Issues**: Identifies and ranks issues by importance
+3. **Guided Editing**: Step-by-step process with explanations
+4. **Best Practices**: Ensures all edits follow BMAD conventions
+5. **Instruction Style Optimization**: Convert between intent-based and prescriptive styles
+6. **Validation**: Checks all changes for correctness
+7. **Change Tracking**: Documents what was modified and why
+
+## Understanding Instruction Styles
+
+When editing workflows, one powerful option is **adjusting the instruction style** to better match the workflow's purpose.
+
+### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
+
+**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
+
+Guides the AI with goals and principles, allowing flexible conversation.
+
+- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts to user responses
+- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
+- **Quality over consistency** - Deep understanding matters more
+- **Example**: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
+
+**When to use:**
+
+- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
+- Creative brainstorming and ideation
+- Iterative refinement workflows
+- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
+
+**Prescriptive**
+
+Provides exact questions with structured options.
+
+- **More controlled and predictable** - Consistent questions every time
+- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform, format, yes/no choices
+- **Consistency over quality** - Same execution every run
+- **Example**: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
+
+**When to use:**
+
+- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
+- Compliance verification and standards adherence
+- Configuration with finite options
+- Quick setup wizards
+
+### Edit Workflow's Style Adjustment Feature
+
+The **"Adjust instruction style"** editing option (menu option 11) helps you:
+
+1. **Analyze current style** - Identifies whether workflow is primarily intent-based or prescriptive
+2. **Convert between styles** - Transform prescriptive steps to intent-based (or vice versa)
+3. **Optimize the mix** - Intelligently recommend the best style for each step
+4. **Step-by-step control** - Review and decide on each step individually
+
+**Common scenarios:**
+
+- **Make workflow more conversational**: Convert rigid <ask> tags to flexible <action> tags for complex steps
+- **Make workflow more consistent**: Convert open-ended <action> tags to structured <ask> tags for simple data collection
+- **Balance both approaches**: Use intent-based for discovery, prescriptive for simple choices
+
+This feature is especially valuable when converting legacy workflows or adapting workflows for different use cases.
+
+## Workflow Steps
+
+1. Load and analyze target workflow
+2. Check against best practices
+3. Select editing focus
+4. Load relevant documentation
+5. Perform edits with user approval
+6. Validate all changes (optional)
+7. Generate change summary
+
+## Requirements
