-# Checklist Validation Task
-
-This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
-
-## Context
-
-The BMAD Method uses various checklists to ensure quality and completeness of different artifacts. Each checklist contains embedded prompts and instructions to guide the LLM through thorough validation and advanced elicitation. The checklists automatically identify their required artifacts and guide the validation process.
-
-## Available Checklists
-
-If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Initial Assessment**
-
-   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
-     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
-     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
-     - Load the appropriate checklist from bmad-core/checklists/
-   - If no checklist specified:
-     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
-     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
-   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
-     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
-     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
-
-2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
-
-   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
-   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
-
-3. **Checklist Processing**
-
-   If in interactive mode:
-
-   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
-   - For each section:
-     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
-     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
-     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
-     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
-
-   If in YOLO mode:
-
-   - Process all sections at once
-   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
-   - Present the complete analysis to the user
-
-4. **Validation Approach**
-
-   For each checklist item:
-
-   - Read and understand the requirement
-   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
-   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
-   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
-   - Mark items as:
-     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
-     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
-     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
-     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
-
-5. **Section Analysis**
-
-   For each section:
-
-   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
-   - Identify common themes in failed items
-   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
-   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
-   - Document any user decisions or explanations
-
-6. **Final Report**
-
-   Prepare a summary that includes:
-
-   - Overall checklist completion status
-   - Pass rates by section
-   - List of failed items with context
-   - Specific recommendations for improvement
-   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
-
-## Checklist Execution Methodology
-
-Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
-
-1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
-2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
-3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
-4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
-
-The LLM will:
-
-- Execute the complete checklist validation
-- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
-- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

+## Purpose
+
+Generate comprehensive documentation for existing projects optimized for AI development agents. This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase.
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Initial Project Analysis
+
+[[LLM: Begin by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to:
+
+1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization
+2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies
+3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands
+4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation
+5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches
+
+Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs:
+
+- What is the primary purpose of this project?
+- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand?
+- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing)
+- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer?
+- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team)
+  ]]
+
+### 2. Core Documentation Generation

+
+Present each document section by section, using the advanced elicitation task after each major section.]]
+
+### 3. Document Structure Template
+
+[[LLM: Use this standardized structure for each documentation file, adapting content as needed:
+
+```markdown
+# {{Document Title}}
+
+## Overview

+
+## Quick Reference
+
+{{Key points, commands, or patterns that agents need most frequently}}
+
+## Detailed Information
+
+{{Comprehensive information organized into logical sections}}
+
+## Examples
+
+{{Concrete examples showing proper usage or implementation}}
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+{{Recurring patterns agents should recognize and follow}}
+
+## Things to Avoid
+
+{{Anti-patterns, deprecated approaches, or common mistakes}}
+
+## Related Resources
+
+{{Links to other relevant documentation or external resources}}
+```
+
+Each document should be:
+
+- **Concrete and actionable** - Focus on what agents need to do, not just concepts
+- **Pattern-focused** - Highlight recurring patterns agents can recognize and replicate
+- **Example-rich** - Include specific code examples and real file references
+- **Context-aware** - Reference actual project files, folders, and conventions

+
+Ask the user to review each completed document and use the advanced elicitation task to refine based on their feedback.]]
+
+### 7. Final Integration
+
+[[LLM: After all documents are completed:
+
+1. Ensure all documents are created in the proper BMAD-expected locations:
+
+   - Core docs in `docs/` (index.md, prd.md)
+   - Architecture shards in `docs/architecture/` subdirectory
+   - Create the `docs/architecture/` directory if it doesn't exist
+
+2. Create/update the master index documents:
+
+   - Update `docs/index.md` to reference all documentation
+   - Create `docs/architecture/index.md` listing all architecture shards
+
+3. Verify document cross-references:
+
+   - Ensure all documents link to related documentation
+   - Check that file paths match the actual project structure
+   - Validate that examples reference real files in the project
+
+4. Provide maintenance guidance:
+
+   - Document update triggers (when to update each doc)
+   - Create a simple checklist for keeping docs current
+   - Suggest automated validation approaches
+
+5. Summary report including:
+   - List of all documents created with their paths
+   - Any gaps or areas needing human review
+   - Recommendations for project-specific additions
+   - Next steps for maintaining documentation accuracy
+
+Present a summary of what was created and ask if any additional documentation would be helpful for AI agents working on this specific project.]]
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Documentation enables AI agents to understand project context without additional explanation
+- All major architectural patterns and coding conventions are captured
+- Examples reference actual project files and demonstrate real usage
+- Documentation is structured consistently and easy to navigate
+- Content is actionable and focuses on what agents need to do, not just understand
+
+## Notes
+
+- This task is designed to work with any project type, language, or framework
+- The documentation should reflect the project as it actually is, not as it should be
+- Focus on patterns that agents can recognize and replicate consistently
+- Include both positive examples (what to do) and negative examples (what to avoid)
