- ### 4. Workflow Interruption Handling
2779
-
2780
- When user returns after interruption:
2781
-
2782
- 1. Ask if continuing previous workflow
2783
- 2. Request any completed artifacts
2784
- 3. Analyze provided artifacts
2785
- 4. Determine workflow position
2786
- 5. Suggest next appropriate step
2787
-
2788
- Example:
2789
-
2790
- ```text
2791
- User: I'm working on a new app. Here's my PRD and architecture doc.
2792
- BMad: I see you have a PRD and architecture document. Based on these artifacts,
2793
- it looks like you're following the greenfield-fullstack workflow and have completed
2794
- stages 1-3. The next recommended step would be:
2795
-
2796
- Stage 4: Validation & Refinement
2797
- - Load Sarah (Product Owner) to validate all artifacts
2798
-
2799
- Would you like to continue with this workflow?
2800
- ```
2801
-
2802
- ## Workflow Context Passing
2803
-
2804
- When transitioning between agents, pass:
2805
-
2806
- 1. Previous artifacts created
2807
- 2. Current workflow stage
2808
- 3. Expected outputs
2809
- 4. Any decisions or constraints identified
2810
-
2811
- Example transition:
2812
-
2813
- ```text
2814
- BMad: Great! John has completed the PRD. According to the greenfield-fullstack workflow,
2815
- the next step is UX Strategy with Sally.

-
2824
- Let's create the UX strategy and UI specifications. First, let me review

  ## Multi-Path Workflows
2829
2694
 
2830
- Some workflows may have multiple paths:
2695
+ Handle conditional paths by asking clarifying questions when needed.
2831
2696
 
2832
- ```yaml
2833
- conditional_paths:
2834
- - condition: project_type == 'mobile'
2835
- next_stage: mobile-specific-design
2836
- - condition: project_type == 'web'
2837
- next_stage: web-architecture
2838
- - default: fullstack-architecture
2839
- ```
2697
+ ## Best Practices
2840
2698
 
2841
- Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
2699
+ 1. Show progress

+ 2. Explain transitions

2702
+ 4. Allow flexibility

2704
 
2843
- ## Workflow Best Practices
2705
+ ## Agent Integration
2844
2706
 
2845
- 1. **Always show progress** - Users should know where they are
2846
- 2. **Explain transitions** - Why moving to next agent
2847
- 3. **Preserve context** - Pass relevant information forward
2848
- 4. **Allow flexibility** - Users can skip or modify steps
2849
- 5. **Track everything** - Maintain complete workflow state
2850
-
2851
- ## Integration with Agents
2852
-
2853
- Each agent should be workflow-aware:
2854
-
2855
- - Know which workflow is active
2856
- - Understand their role in the workflow
2857
- - Access previous artifacts
2858
- - Know expected outputs
2859
- - Guide toward workflow goals
2860
-
2861
- This creates a seamless experience where the entire team works together toward the workflow's objectives.
2707
+ Agents should be workflow-aware: know active workflow, their role, access artifacts, understand expected outputs.

1754
1688
 
1755
- When a workflow is started:
1689
+ ## Execution Flow
1756
1690
 
1757
- 1. Load the workflow definition
1758
- 2. Identify the first stage and step
1759
- 3. Transition to the required agent
1760
- 4. Provide context about expected inputs/outputs
1761
- 5. Guide artifact creation
1691
+ 1. **Starting**: Load definition Identify first stage → Transition to agent → Guide artifact creation
1762
1692
 
1763
- ### 2. Stage Transitions
1693
+ 2. **Stage Transitions**: Mark complete → Check conditions → Load next agent → Pass artifacts
1764
1694
 
1765
- After each artifact is completed:
1695
+ 3. **Artifact Tracking**: Track status, creator, timestamps in workflow_state
1766
1696
 
1767
- 1. Mark the step as complete
1768
- 2. Check transition conditions
1769
- 3. If stage is complete, move to next stage
1770
- 4. Load the appropriate agent
1771
- 5. Pass relevant artifacts as context
1697
+ 4. **Interruption Handling**: Analyze provided artifacts → Determine position → Suggest next step
1772
1698
 
1773
- ### 3. Artifact Tracking
1699
+ ## Context Passing
1774
1700
 
1775
- Track all created artifacts:
1776
-
1777
- ```yaml
1778
- workflow_state:
1779
- current_workflow: greenfield-fullstack
1780
- current_stage: planning
1781
- current_step: 2
1782
- artifacts:
1783
- project-brief:

1791
- ```
1701
+ When transitioning, pass:
1792
1702
 
1793
- ### 4. Workflow Interruption Handling
1794
-
1795
- When user returns after interruption:
1796
-
1797
- 1. Ask if continuing previous workflow
1798
- 2. Request any completed artifacts
1799
- 3. Analyze provided artifacts
1800
- 4. Determine workflow position
1801
- 5. Suggest next appropriate step
1802
-
1803
- Example:
1804
-
1805
- ```text
1806
- User: I'm working on a new app. Here's my PRD and architecture doc.
1807
- BMad: I see you have a PRD and architecture document. Based on these artifacts,
1808
- it looks like you're following the greenfield-fullstack workflow and have completed
1809
- stages 1-3. The next recommended step would be:
1810
-
1811
- Stage 4: Validation & Refinement
1812
- - Load Sarah (Product Owner) to validate all artifacts
1813
-
1814
- Would you like to continue with this workflow?
1815
- ```
1816
-
1817
- ## Workflow Context Passing
1818
-
1819
- When transitioning between agents, pass:
1820
-
1821
- 1. Previous artifacts created
1822
- 2. Current workflow stage
1823
- 3. Expected outputs
1824
- 4. Any decisions or constraints identified
1825
-
1826
- Example transition:
1827
-
1828
- ```text
1829
- BMad: Great! John has completed the PRD. According to the greenfield-fullstack workflow,
1830
- the next step is UX Strategy with Sally.
1831
-
1832
- /ux-expert
1833
-
1834
- Sally: I see we're in the Product Planning stage of the greenfield-fullstack workflow.
1835
- I have access to:
1836
- - Project Brief from Mary
1837
- - PRD from John
1838
-
1839
- Let's create the UX strategy and UI specifications. First, let me review
1840
- the PRD to understand the features we're designing for...
1841
- ```
1703
+ - Previous artifacts
1704
+ - Current workflow stage
1705
+ - Expected outputs
1706
+ - Decisions/constraints
1842

1708
  ## Multi-Path Workflows
1844
1709
 
1845
- Some workflows may have multiple paths:
1710
+ Handle conditional paths by asking clarifying questions when needed.
1846
1711
 
1847
- ```yaml
1848
- conditional_paths:
1849
- - condition: project_type == 'mobile'
1850
- next_stage: mobile-specific-design
1851
- - condition: project_type == 'web'
1852
- next_stage: web-architecture
1853
- - default: fullstack-architecture
1854
- ```
1712
+ ## Best Practices
1855
1713
 
1856
- Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
1714
+ 1. Show progress
1715
+ 2. Explain transitions
1716
+ 3. Preserve context
1717
+ 4. Allow flexibility
1718
+ 5. Track state
1857
1719
 
1858
- ## Workflow Best Practices
1720
+ ## Agent Integration
1859
1721
 
1860
- 1. **Always show progress** - Users should know where they are
1861
- 2. **Explain transitions** - Why moving to next agent
1862
- 3. **Preserve context** - Pass relevant information forward
1863
- 4. **Allow flexibility** - Users can skip or modify steps
1864
- 5. **Track everything** - Maintain complete workflow state
1865
-
1866
- ## Integration with Agents
1867
-
1868
- Each agent should be workflow-aware:
1869
-
1870
- - Know which workflow is active
1871
- - Understand their role in the workflow
1872
- - Access previous artifacts
1873
- - Know expected outputs
1874
- - Guide toward workflow goals
1875
-
1876
- This creates a seamless experience where the entire team works together toward the workflow's objectives.
1722
+ Agents should be workflow-aware: know active workflow, their role, access artifacts, understand expected outputs.
