-# Workflow Management
-
-This utility enables the BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
-
-## Important: Dynamic Workflow Loading
-
-The BMAD orchestrator MUST read the available workflows from the current team configuration's `workflows` field. Do not use hardcoded workflow lists. Each team bundle defines its own set of supported workflows based on the agents it includes.
-
-**Critical Distinction**:
-
-- When asked "what workflows are available?", show ONLY the workflows defined in the current team bundle's configuration
-- Use `/agent-list` to show agents in the current bundle
-- Use `/workflows` to show workflows in the current bundle, NOT any creation tasks
-
-### Workflow Descriptions
-
-When displaying workflows, use these descriptions based on the workflow ID:
-
-- **greenfield-fullstack**: Build a new full-stack application from concept to development
-- **brownfield-fullstack**: Enhance an existing full-stack application with new features
-- **greenfield-service**: Build a new backend service or API from concept to development
-- **brownfield-service**: Enhance an existing backend service or API
-- **greenfield-ui**: Build a new frontend/UI application from concept to development
-- **brownfield-ui**: Enhance an existing frontend/UI application
-
-## Workflow Commands
-
-### /workflows
-
-Lists all available workflows for the current team. The available workflows are determined by the team configuration and may include workflows such as:
-
-- greenfield-fullstack
-- brownfield-fullstack
-- greenfield-service
-- brownfield-service
-- greenfield-ui
-- brownfield-ui
-
-The actual list depends on which team bundle is loaded. When responding to this command, display the workflows that are configured in the current team's `workflows` field.
-
-Example response format:
-
-```text
-Available workflows for [Team Name]:
-1. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
-2. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
-[... etc. ...]
-
-Use /workflow-start {number or id} to begin a workflow.
-```
-
-### /workflow-start {workflow-id}
-
-Starts a specific workflow and transitions to the first agent.
-
-Example: `/workflow-start greenfield-fullstack`
-
-### /workflow-status
-
-Shows current workflow progress, completed artifacts, and next steps.
-
-Example response:
-
-```text
-Current Workflow: Greenfield Full-Stack Development
-Stage: Product Planning (2 of 6)
-Completed:
-  ✓ Discovery & Requirements
-    - project-brief (completed by Mary)
-
-In Progress:
-  ⚡ Product Planning
-    - Create PRD (John) - awaiting input
-
-Next: Technical Architecture
-```
-
-### /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?
-```
-
-### /workflow-next
-
-Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
-
-## Workflow Execution Flow
-
-### 1. Starting a Workflow
-
-When a workflow is started:
-
-1. Load the workflow definition
-2. Identify the first stage and step
-3. Transition to the required agent
-4. Provide context about expected inputs/outputs
-5. Guide artifact creation
-
-### 2. Stage Transitions
-
-After each artifact is completed:
-
-1. Mark the step as complete
-2. Check transition conditions
-3. If stage is complete, move to next stage
-4. Load the appropriate agent
-5. Pass relevant artifacts as context
-
-### 3. Artifact Tracking
-
-Track all created artifacts:
-
-```yaml
-workflow_state:
-  current_workflow: greenfield-fullstack
-  current_stage: planning
-  current_step: 2
-  artifacts:
-    project-brief:
-      status: completed
-      created_by: analyst
-      timestamp: 2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z
-    prd:
-      status: in-progress
-      created_by: pm
-      started: 2024-01-15T11:00:00.000Z
-```
-
-### 4. Workflow Interruption Handling
-
-When user returns after interruption:
-
-1. Ask if continuing previous workflow
-2. Request any completed artifacts
-3. Analyze provided artifacts
-4. Determine workflow position
-5. Suggest next appropriate step
-
-Example:
-
-```text
-User: I'm working on a new app. Here's my PRD and architecture doc.
-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:
-
-```text
-BMad: Great! John has completed the PRD. According to the greenfield-fullstack workflow,
-      the next step is UX Strategy with Sally.
-
-      /ux-expert
-
-Sally: I see we're in the Product Planning stage of the greenfield-fullstack workflow.
-       I have access to:
-       - Project Brief from Mary
-       - PRD from John
-
-       Let's create the UX strategy and UI specifications. First, let me review
-       the PRD to understand the features we're designing for...
-```
-
-## Multi-Path Workflows
-
-Some workflows may have multiple paths:
-
-```yaml
-conditional_paths:
-  - condition: project_type == 'mobile'
-    next_stage: mobile-specific-design
-  - condition: project_type == 'web'
-    next_stage: web-architecture
-  - default: fullstack-architecture
-```
-
-Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
-
-## Workflow Best Practices
-
-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.
