-==================== START: tasks#create-doc ====================
-# Create Document from Template Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-Generate documents from templates by EXECUTING (not just reading) embedded instructions from the perspective of the selected agent persona.
-
-## CRITICAL RULES
-
-1. **Templates are PROGRAMS** - Execute every [[LLM:]] instruction exactly as written
-2. **NEVER show markup** - Hide all [[LLM:]], {{placeholders}}, @{examples}, and template syntax
-3. **STOP and EXECUTE** - When you see "apply tasks#" or "execute tasks#", STOP and run that task immediately
-4. **WAIT for user input** - At review points and after elicitation tasks
-
-## Execution Flow
-
-### 1. Identify Template
-
-- Load from `templates#*` or `{root}/templates directory`
-- Agent-specific templates are listed in agent's dependencies
-- If agent has `templates: [prd-tmpl, architecture-tmpl]`, offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents
-
-### 2. Ask Interaction Mode
-
-> 1. **Incremental** - Section by section with reviews
-> 2. **YOLO Mode** - Complete draft then review (user can type `/yolo` anytime to switch)
-
-### 3. Execute Template
-
-- Replace {{placeholders}} with real content
-- Execute [[LLM:]] instructions as you encounter them
-- Process <<REPEAT>> loops and ^^CONDITIONS^^
-- Use @{examples} for guidance but never output them
-
-### 4. Key Execution Patterns
-
-**When you see:** `[[LLM: Draft X and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation]]`
-
-- Draft the content
-- Present it to user
-- IMMEDIATELY execute the task
-- Wait for completion before continuing
-
-**When you see:** `[[LLM: After section completion, apply tasks#Y]]`
-
-- Finish the section
-- STOP and execute the task
-- Wait for user input
-
-### 5. Validation & Final Presentation
-
-- Run any specified checklists
-- Present clean, formatted content only
-- No truncation or summarization
-- Begin directly with content (no preamble)
-- Include any handoff prompts from template
-
-## Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
-❌ Skipping elicitation tasks
-❌ Showing template markup to users
-❌ Continuing past STOP signals
-❌ Combining multiple review points
-
-✅ Execute ALL instructions in sequence
-✅ Present only clean, formatted content
-✅ Stop at every elicitation point
-✅ Wait for user confirmation when instructed
-
-## Remember
-
-Templates contain precise instructions for a reason. Follow them exactly to ensure document quality and completeness.

-# Template Format Conventions
-
-Templates in the BMAD method use standardized markup for AI processing. These conventions ensure consistent document generation.
-
-## Template Markup Elements
-
-- **{{placeholders}}**: Variables to be replaced with actual content
-- **[[LLM: instructions]]**: Internal processing instructions for AI agents (never shown to users)
-- **REPEAT** sections: Content blocks that may be repeated as needed
-- **^^CONDITION^^** blocks: Conditional content included only if criteria are met
-- **@{examples}**: Example content for guidance (never output to users)
-
-## Processing Rules
-
-- Replace all {{placeholders}} with project-specific content
-- Execute all [[LLM: instructions]] internally without showing users
-- Process conditional and repeat blocks as specified
-- Use examples for guidance but never include them in final output
-- Present only clean, formatted content to users
-
-## Critical Guidelines
-
-- **NEVER display template markup, LLM instructions, or examples to users**
-- Template elements are for AI processing only
-- Focus on faithful template execution and clean output
-- All template-specific instructions are embedded within templates
