 ### /workflow-resume
 
-Resumes a workflow from where it left off, useful when starting a new chat.
-
-User can provide completed artifacts:
-
-```text
-User: /workflow-resume greenfield-fullstack
-      I have completed: project-brief, PRD
-BMad: I see you've completed Discovery and part of Product Planning.
-      Based on the greenfield-fullstack workflow, the next step is:
-      - UX Strategy with Sally (ux-expert)
-
-      Would you like me to load Sally to continue?

-4. Provide context about expected inputs/outputs
-5. Guide artifact creation
+1. **Starting**: Load definition → Identify first stage → Transition to agent → Guide artifact creation
 
-### 2. Stage Transitions

-5. Suggest next appropriate step
-
-Example:

-BMad: I see you have a PRD and architecture document. Based on these artifacts,
-      it looks like you're following the greenfield-fullstack workflow and have completed
-      stages 1-3. The next recommended step would be:
-
-      Stage 4: Validation & Refinement
-      - Load Sarah (Product Owner) to validate all artifacts
-
-      Would you like to continue with this workflow?

-
-## Workflow Context Passing
-
-When transitioning between agents, pass:
-
-1. Previous artifacts created
-2. Current workflow stage
-3. Expected outputs
-4. Any decisions or constraints identified
-
-Example transition:

 ## Multi-Path Workflows
 
-Some workflows may have multiple paths:
+Handle conditional paths by asking clarifying questions when needed.
 
-```yaml
-conditional_paths:
-  - condition: project_type == 'mobile'
-    next_stage: mobile-specific-design
-  - condition: project_type == 'web'
-    next_stage: web-architecture
-  - default: fullstack-architecture
-```
+## Best Practices
 
-Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
+1. Show progress
+2. Explain transitions
+3. Preserve context
+4. Allow flexibility
+5. Track state
 
-## Workflow Best Practices
+## Agent Integration
 
-1. **Always show progress** - Users should know where they are
-2. **Explain transitions** - Why moving to next agent
-3. **Preserve context** - Pass relevant information forward
-4. **Allow flexibility** - Users can skip or modify steps
-5. **Track everything** - Maintain complete workflow state
-
-## Integration with Agents
-
-Each agent should be workflow-aware:
-
-- Know which workflow is active
-- Understand their role in the workflow
-- Access previous artifacts
-- Know expected outputs
-- Guide toward workflow goals
-
-This creates a seamless experience where the entire team works together toward the workflow's objectives.
+Agents should be workflow-aware: know active workflow, their role, access artifacts, understand expected outputs.
