-# BMM Analysis Workflows (Phase 1)
-
-**Reading Time:** ~7 minutes
-
-## Overview
-
-Phase 1 (Analysis) workflows are **optional** exploration and discovery tools that help validate ideas, understand markets, and generate strategic context before planning begins.
-
-**Key principle:** Analysis workflows help you think strategically before committing to implementation. Skip them if your requirements are already clear.
-
-**When to use:** Starting new projects, exploring opportunities, validating market fit, generating ideas, understanding problem spaces.
-
-**When to skip:** Continuing existing projects with clear requirements, well-defined features with known solutions, strict constraints where discovery is complete.

-## Decision Guide
-
-### Starting a Software Project
-
-```
-brainstorm-project (if unclear) → research (market/technical) → product-brief → Phase 2 (prd)
-```
-
-### Starting a Game Project
-
-```
-brainstorm-game (if generating concepts) → research (market/competitive) → game-brief → Phase 2 (gdd)
-```
-
-### Validating an Idea
-
-```
-research (market type) → product-brief or game-brief → Phase 2
-```
-
-### Technical Decision Only
-
-```
-research (technical type) → Use findings in Phase 3 (architecture)
-```
-
-### Understanding Market
-
-```
-research (market/competitive type) → product-brief → Phase 2
-```
-
----
-
-## Integration with Phase 2 (Planning)
-
-Analysis outputs feed directly into Planning:
-
-| Analysis Output             | Planning Input             |
-| --------------------------- | -------------------------- |
-| product-brief.md            | **prd** workflow           |
-| game-brief.md               | **gdd** workflow           |
-| market-research.md          | **prd** context            |
-| technical-research.md       | **architecture** (Phase 3) |
-| competitive-intelligence.md | **prd** positioning        |
-
-Planning workflows automatically load these documents if they exist in the output folder.
-
----
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Don't Over-Invest in Analysis
-
-Analysis is optional. If requirements are clear, skip to Phase 2 (Planning).
-
-### 2. Iterate Between Workflows
-
-Common pattern: brainstorm → research (validate) → brief (synthesize)
-
-### 3. Document Assumptions
-
-Analysis surfaces and validates assumptions. Document them explicitly for planning to challenge.
-
-### 4. Keep It Strategic
-
-Focus on "what" and "why", not "how". Leave implementation for Planning and Solutioning.
-
-### 5. Involve Stakeholders
-
-Use analysis workflows to align stakeholders before committing to detailed planning.

-## Common Patterns
-
-### Greenfield Software (Full Analysis)
-
-```
-1. brainstorm-project - explore approaches
-2. research (market) - validate viability
-3. product-brief - capture strategic vision
-4. → Phase 2: prd
-```
-
-### Greenfield Game (Full Analysis)
-
-```
-1. brainstorm-game - generate concepts
-2. research (competitive) - understand landscape
-3. game-brief - capture vision
-4. → Phase 2: gdd
-```
-
-### Skip Analysis (Clear Requirements)
-
-```
-→ Phase 2: prd or tech-spec directly
-```
-
-### Technical Research Only
-
-```
-1. research (technical) - evaluate technologies
-2. → Phase 3: architecture (use findings in ADRs)
-```

-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Q: Do I need to run all analysis workflows?**
-A: No! Analysis is entirely optional. Use only workflows that help you think through your problem.
-
-**Q: Which workflow should I start with?**
-A: If unsure, start with `research` (market type) to validate viability, then move to `product-brief` or `game-brief`.
-
-**Q: Can I skip straight to Planning?**
-A: Yes! If you know what you're building and why, skip Phase 1 entirely and start with Phase 2 (prd/gdd/tech-spec).
-
-**Q: How long should Analysis take?**
-A: Typically hours to 1-2 days. If taking longer, you may be over-analyzing. Move to Planning.
-
-**Q: What if I discover problems during Analysis?**
-A: That's the point! Analysis helps you fail fast and pivot before heavy planning investment.
-
-**Q: Should brownfield projects do Analysis?**
-A: Usually no. Start with `document-project` (Phase 0), then skip to Planning (Phase 2).

-# BMM Implementation Workflows (Phase 4)
-
-**Reading Time:** ~8 minutes
-
-## Overview
-
-Phase 4 (Implementation) workflows manage the iterative sprint-based development cycle using a **story-centric workflow** where each story moves through a defined lifecycle from creation to completion.
-
-**Key principle:** One story at a time, move it through the entire lifecycle before starting the next.

-## Agent Roles
-
-### SM (Scrum Master) - Primary Implementation Orchestrator
-
-**Workflows:** sprint-planning, epic-tech-context, validate-epic-tech-context, create-story, validate-create-story, story-context, validate-story-context, story-ready-for-dev, epic-retrospective, correct-course
-
-**Responsibilities:**
-
-- Initialize and maintain sprint tracking
-- Generate technical context (epic and story level)
-- Orchestrate story lifecycle with optional validations
-- Mark stories ready for development
-- Handle course corrections
-- Facilitate retrospectives
-
-### DEV (Developer) - Implementation and Quality
-
-**Workflows:** develop-story, code-review, story-done
-
-**Responsibilities:**
-
-- Implement stories with tests
-- Perform senior developer code reviews
-- Mark stories complete and advance queue
-- Ensure quality and adherence to standards
-
----
-
-## Story Lifecycle States
-
-Stories move through these states in the sprint status file:
-
-1. **TODO** - Story identified but not started
-2. **IN PROGRESS** - Story being implemented (create-story → story-context → dev-story)
-3. **READY FOR REVIEW** - Implementation complete, awaiting code review
-4. **DONE** - Accepted and complete
-
----
-
-## Typical Sprint Flow
-
-### Sprint 0 (Planning Phase)
-
-- Complete Phases 1-3 (Analysis, Planning, Solutioning)
-- PRD/GDD + Architecture complete
-- **V6: Epics+Stories created via create-epics-and-stories workflow (runs AFTER architecture)**
-
-### Sprint 1+ (Implementation Phase)
-
-**Start of Phase 4:**
-
-1. SM runs `sprint-planning` (once)
-
-**Per Epic:**
-
-1. SM runs `epic-tech-context`
-2. SM optionally runs `validate-epic-tech-context`
-
-**Per Story (repeat until epic complete):**
-
-1. SM runs `create-story`
-2. SM optionally runs `validate-create-story`
-3. SM runs `story-context` OR `story-ready-for-dev` (choose one)
-4. SM optionally runs `validate-story-context` (if story-context was used)
-5. DEV runs `develop-story`
-6. DEV runs `code-review`
-7. If code review passes: DEV runs `story-done`
-8. If code review finds issues: DEV fixes in `develop-story`, then back to code-review
-
-**After Epic Complete:**
-
-- SM runs `epic-retrospective`
-- Move to next epic (start with `epic-tech-context` again)
-
-**As Needed:**
-
-- Run `workflow-status` anytime to check progress
-- Run `correct-course` if significant changes needed

-## Key Principles
-
-### One Story at a Time
-
-Complete each story's full lifecycle before starting the next. This prevents context switching and ensures quality.
-
-### Epic-Level Technical Context
-
-Generate detailed technical guidance per epic (not per story) using `epic-tech-context`. This provides just-in-time architecture without upfront over-planning.
-
-### Story Context (Optional)
-
-Use `story-context` to assemble focused context XML for each story, pulling from PRD, architecture, epic context, and codebase docs. Alternatively, use `story-ready-for-dev` to mark a story ready without generating context XML.
-
-### Quality Gates
-
-Every story goes through `code-review` before being marked done. No exceptions.
-
-### Continuous Tracking
-
-The `sprint-status.yaml` file is the single source of truth for all implementation progress.

-## Common Patterns
-
-### Level 0-1 (Quick Flow)
-
-```
-tech-spec (PM)
-  → sprint-planning (SM)
-  → story loop (SM/DEV)
-```
-
-### Level 2-4 (BMad Method / Enterprise)
-
-```
-PRD (PM) → Architecture (Architect)
-  → create-epics-and-stories (PM)  ← V6: After architecture!
-  → implementation-readiness (Architect)
-  → sprint-planning (SM, once)
-  → [Per Epic]:
-      epic-tech-context (SM)
-      → story loop (SM/DEV)
-      → epic-retrospective (SM)
-  → [Next Epic]
-```

-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Q: Which workflow should I run next?**
-A: Run `workflow-status` - it reads the sprint status file and tells you exactly what to do.
-
-**Q: Story needs significant changes mid-implementation?**
-A: Run `correct-course` to analyze impact and route appropriately.
-
-**Q: Do I run epic-tech-context for every story?**
-A: No! Run once per epic, not per story. Use `story-context` or `story-ready-for-dev` per story instead.
-
-**Q: Do I have to use story-context for every story?**
-A: No, it's optional. You can use `story-ready-for-dev` to mark a story ready without generating context XML.
-
-**Q: Can I work on multiple stories in parallel?**
-A: Not recommended. Complete one story's full lifecycle before starting the next. Prevents context switching and ensures quality.
-
-**Q: What if code review finds issues?**
-A: DEV runs `develop-story` to make fixes, re-runs tests, then runs `code-review` again until it passes.
-
-**Q: When do I run validations?**
-A: Validations are optional quality gates. Use them when you want independent review of epic tech specs, story drafts, or story context before proceeding.
