-# 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.
+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
 
-## CRITICAL RULES
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
 
-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
+**When `elicit: true`, ALWAYS use this exact format:**
 
-## Execution Flow
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. Present numbered options 1-9:
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
 
-### 0. Check Workflow Plan (if configured)
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
 
-[[LLM: Check if plan tracking is enabled in core-config.yaml]]
+## Processing Flow
 
-- If `workflow.trackProgress: true`, check for active plan using .bmad-core/utils/plan-management.md
-- If plan exists and this document creation is part of the plan:
-  - Verify this is the expected next step
-  - If out of sequence and `enforceSequence: true`, warn user and halt without user override
-  - If out of sequence and `enforceSequence: false`, ask for confirmation
-- Continue with normal execution after plan check
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
 
-### 1. Identify Template
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
 
-- Load from `.bmad-core/templates/*.md` or `.bmad-core/templates directory`
-- Agent-specific templates are listed in agent's dependencies
-- If agent has `templates: [prd-tmpl, architecture-tmpl]` for example, then offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
 
-### 2. Ask Interaction Mode
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
 
-> 1. **Incremental** - Section by section with reviews
-> 2. **YOLO Mode** - Complete draft then review (user can type `/yolo` anytime to switch)
+## Elicitation Results Flow
 
-### 3. Execute Template
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
 
-- 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
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
 
-### 4. Key Execution Patterns
+## Agent Permissions
 
-**When you see:** `[[LLM: Draft X and immediately execute .bmad-core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md]]`
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
 
-- Draft the content
-- Present it to user
-- IMMEDIATELY execute the task
-- Wait for completion before continuing
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
 
-**When you see:** `[[LLM: After section completion, apply .bmad-core/tasks/Y.md]]`
+**For sections with restricted access:**
 
-- Finish the section
-- STOP and execute the task
-- Wait for user input
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
 
-### 5. Validation & Final Presentation
+## YOLO Mode
 
-- 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
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
 
-### 6. Update Workflow Plan (if applicable)
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
 
-[[LLM: After successful document creation]]
+**❌ NEVER:**
 
-- If plan tracking is enabled and document was part of plan:
-  - Call update-workflow-plan task to mark step complete
-  - Parameters: task: create-doc, step_id: {from plan}, status: complete
-  - Show next recommended step from plan
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
 
-## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
 
-❌ 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.
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

-
-### Functional
-
-[[LLM: Each Requirement will be a bullet markdown and an identifier sequence starting with FR`.]]

-5. This is NOT detailed UI spec - focus on product vision and user goals
-6. After section completion, immediately apply `.bmad-core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md` protocol]]
-
-### Overall UX Vision
-
-### Key Interaction Paradigms
-
-### Core Screens and Views
-
-[[LLM: From a product perspective, what are the most critical screens or views necessary to deliver the the PRD values and goals? This is meant to be Conceptual High Level to Drive Rough Epic or User Stories]]
-
-@{example}
-
-- Login Screen
-- Main Dashboard
-- Item Detail Page
-- Settings Page
-  @{/example}
-
-### Accessibility: { None, WCAG, etc }
-
-### Branding
-
-[[LLM: Any known branding elements or style guides that must be incorporated?]]
-
-@{example}
-
-- Replicate the look and feel of early 1900s black and white cinema, including animated effects replicating film damage or projector glitches during page or state transitions.
-- Attached is the full color pallet and tokens for our corporate branding.

-### Target Device and Platforms
-
-@{example}
-"Web Responsive, and all mobile platforms", "IPhone Only", "ASCII Windows Desktop"
-@{/example}
-
-^^/CONDITION: has_ui^^
-
-## Technical Assumptions
-
-[[LLM: Gather technical decisions that will guide the Architect. Steps:
-
-1. Check if `.bmad-core/data/technical-preferences.yaml` or an attached `technical-preferences` file exists - use it to pre-populate choices
-2. Ask user about: languages, frameworks, starter templates, libraries, APIs, deployment targets
-3. For unknowns, offer guidance based on project goals and MVP scope
-4. Document ALL technical choices with rationale (why this choice fits the project)
-5. These become constraints for the Architect - be specific and complete
-6. After section completion, apply `.bmad-core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md` protocol.]]
-
-### Repository Structure: { Monorepo, Polyrepo, etc...}
-
-### Service Architecture
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL DECISION - Document the high-level service architecture (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless functions within a Monorepo).]]
-
-### Testing requirements
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL DECISION - Document the testing requirements, unit only, integration, e2e, manual, need for manual testing convenience methods).]]
-
-### Additional Technical Assumptions and Requests
-
-[[LLM: Throughout the entire process of drafting this document, if any other technical assumptions are raised or discovered appropriate for the architect, add them here as additional bulleted items]]
-
-## Epics
-
-[[LLM: First, present a high-level list of all epics for user approval, the epic_list and immediately execute .bmad-core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md display. Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details.
-
-CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices:
-
-- Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality
-- Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page - remember this when we produce the stories for the first epic!
-- Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed
-- Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic.
-- Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things.
-- Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories. For example, adding a logging framework as a last story of an epic, or at the end of a project as a final epic or story would be terrible as we would not have logging from the beginning.]]

-
-- Epic{{epic_number}} {{epic_title}}: {{short_goal}}

-<</REPEAT>>
-
-@{example: epic_list}
-
-1. Foundation & Core Infrastructure: Establish project setup, authentication, and basic user management
-2. Core Business Entities: Create and manage primary domain objects with CRUD operations
-3. User Workflows & Interactions: Enable key user journeys and business processes
-4. Reporting & Analytics: Provide insights and data visualization for users
-

-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL STORY SEQUENCING REQUIREMENTS:
-
-- Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential
-- Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality aside from early enabler stories for project foundation
-- No story should depend on work from a later story or epic
-- Identify and note any direct prerequisite stories
-- Focus on "what" and "why" not "how" (leave technical implementation to Architect) yet be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations from story to story.
-- Ensure each story delivers clear user or business value, try to avoid enablers and build them into stories that deliver value.
-- Size stories for AI agent execution: Each story must be completable by a single AI agent in one focused session without context overflow
-- Think "junior developer working for 2-4 hours" - stories must be small, focused, and self-contained
-- If a story seems complex, break it down further as long as it can deliver a vertical slice
-- Each story should result in working, testable code before the agent's context window fills]]

-#### Acceptance Criteria
-
-[[LLM: Define clear, comprehensive, and testable acceptance criteria that:
-
-- Precisely define what "done" means from a functional perspective
-- Are unambiguous and serve as basis for verification
-- Include any critical non-functional requirements from the PRD
-- Consider local testability for backend/data components
-- Specify UI/UX requirements and framework adherence where applicable

-
-[[LLM: The default path and filename unless specified is docs/prd.md]]
-
-[[LLM: IMPORTANT - SCOPE ASSESSMENT REQUIRED:
-
-This PRD is for SIGNIFICANT enhancements to existing projects that require comprehensive planning and multiple stories. Before proceeding:
-
-1. **Assess Enhancement Complexity**: If this is a simple feature addition or bug fix that could be completed in 1-2 focused development sessions, STOP and recommend: "For simpler changes, consider using the brownfield-create-epic or brownfield-create-story task with the Product Owner instead. This full PRD process is designed for substantial enhancements that require architectural planning and multiple coordinated stories."
-
-2. **Project Context**: Determine if we're working in an IDE with the project already loaded or if the user needs to provide project information. If project files are available, analyze existing documentation in the docs folder. If insufficient documentation exists, recommend running the document-project task first.
-
-3. **Deep Assessment Requirement**: You MUST thoroughly analyze the existing project structure, patterns, and constraints before making ANY suggestions. Every recommendation must be grounded in actual project analysis, not assumptions.]]
-
-## Intro Project Analysis and Context
-
-[[LLM: Gather comprehensive information about the existing project. This section must be completed before proceeding with requirements.

-- Stories should be sequenced to minimize risk to existing system
-- Include rollback considerations for each story
-- Focus on incremental integration rather than big-bang changes
-- Size stories for AI agent execution in existing codebase context
-- MANDATORY: Present the complete story sequence and ask: "This story sequence is designed to minimize risk to your existing system. Does this order make sense given your project's architecture and constraints?"
-- Stories must be logically sequential with clear dependencies identified

+      Ask if Project Brief document is available. If NO Project Brief exists, STRONGLY recommend creating one first using project-brief-tmpl (it provides essential foundation: problem statement, target users, success metrics, MVP scope, constraints). If user insists on PRD without brief, gather this information during Goals section. If Project Brief exists, review and use it to populate Goals (bullet list of desired outcomes) and Background Context (1-2 paragraphs on what this solves and why) so we can determine what is and is not in scope for PRD mvp. Either way this is critical to determine the requirements. Include Change Log table.

+      1. Check if .bmad-core/data/technical-preferences.yaml or an attached technical-preferences file exists - use it to pre-populate choices
+      2. Ask user about: languages, frameworks, starter templates, libraries, APIs, deployment targets
+      3. For unknowns, offer guidance based on project goals and MVP scope
+      4. Document ALL technical choices with rationale (why this choice fits the project)
+      5. These become constraints for the Architect - be specific and complete

+        title: Additional Technical Assumptions and Requests
+        instruction: Throughout the entire process of drafting this document, if any other technical assumptions are raised or discovered appropriate for the architect, add them here as additional bulleted items
+
+  - id: epic-list
+    title: Epic List
+    instruction: |
+      Present a high-level list of all epics for user approval. Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details.
+      
+      CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices:
+      
+      - Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality
+      - Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page - remember this when we produce the stories for the first epic!
+      - Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed
+      - Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic.
+      - Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things.
+      - Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories. For example, adding a logging framework as a last story of an epic, or at the end of a project as a final epic or story would be terrible as we would not have logging from the beginning.
+    elicit: true
+    examples:
+      - "Epic 1: Foundation & Core Infrastructure: Establish project setup, authentication, and basic user management"
+      - "Epic 2: Core Business Entities: Create and manage primary domain objects with CRUD operations"
+      - "Epic 3: User Workflows & Interactions: Enable key user journeys and business processes"

+
+  - id: epic-details
+    title: Epic {{epic_number}} {{epic_title}}

+    instruction: |
+      After the epic list is approved, present each epic with all its stories and acceptance criteria as a complete review unit.
+      
+      For each epic provide expanded goal (2-3 sentences describing the objective and value all the stories will achieve).
+      
+      CRITICAL STORY SEQUENCING REQUIREMENTS:
+      
+      - Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential
+      - Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality aside from early enabler stories for project foundation
+      - No story should depend on work from a later story or epic
+      - Identify and note any direct prerequisite stories
+      - Focus on "what" and "why" not "how" (leave technical implementation to Architect) yet be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations from story to story.
+      - Ensure each story delivers clear user or business value, try to avoid enablers and build them into stories that deliver value.
+      - Size stories for AI agent execution: Each story must be completable by a single AI agent in one focused session without context overflow
+      - Think "junior developer working for 2-4 hours" - stories must be small, focused, and self-contained
+      - If a story seems complex, break it down further as long as it can deliver a vertical slice

+              - Precisely define what "done" means from a functional perspective
+              - Are unambiguous and serve as basis for verification

+      IMPORTANT - SCOPE ASSESSMENT REQUIRED:
+      
+      This PRD is for SIGNIFICANT enhancements to existing projects that require comprehensive planning and multiple stories. Before proceeding:
+      
+      1. **Assess Enhancement Complexity**: If this is a simple feature addition or bug fix that could be completed in 1-2 focused development sessions, STOP and recommend: "For simpler changes, consider using the brownfield-create-epic or brownfield-create-story task with the Product Owner instead. This full PRD process is designed for substantial enhancements that require architectural planning and multiple coordinated stories."
+      
+      2. **Project Context**: Determine if we're working in an IDE with the project already loaded or if the user needs to provide project information. If project files are available, analyze existing documentation in the docs folder. If insufficient documentation exists, recommend running the document-project task first.
+      
+      3. **Deep Assessment Requirement**: You MUST thoroughly analyze the existing project structure, patterns, and constraints before making ANY suggestions. Every recommendation must be grounded in actual project analysis, not assumptions.
+      
+      Gather comprehensive information about the existing project. This section must be completed before proceeding with requirements.
+      
+      CRITICAL: Throughout this analysis, explicitly confirm your understanding with the user. For every assumption you make about the existing project, ask: "Based on my analysis, I understand that [assumption]. Is this correct?"
+      
+      Do not proceed with any recommendations until the user has validated your understanding of the existing system.

+    instruction: |
+      For brownfield projects, favor a single comprehensive epic unless the user is clearly requesting multiple unrelated enhancements. Before presenting the epic structure, confirm: "Based on my analysis of your existing project, I believe this enhancement should be structured as [single epic/multiple epics] because [rationale based on actual project analysis]. Does this align with your understanding of the work required?"

+      - Stories must ensure existing functionality remains intact
+      - Each story should include verification that existing features still work
+      - Stories should be sequenced to minimize risk to existing system
+      - Include rollback considerations for each story
+      - Focus on incremental integration rather than big-bang changes
+      - Size stories for AI agent execution in existing codebase context
+      - MANDATORY: Present the complete story sequence and ask: "This story sequence is designed to minimize risk to your existing system. Does this order make sense given your project's architecture and constraints?"
+      - Stories must be logically sequential with clear dependencies identified
+      - Each story must deliver value while maintaining system integrity

-# 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
