-# Create Next Story Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research or finding its own context.
-
-## SEQUENTIAL Task Execution (Do not proceed until current Task is complete)
-
-### 0. Load Core Configuration and Check Workflow
-
-- Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` from the project root
-- If the file does not exist, HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yaml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can either: 1) Copy it from GITHUB bmad-core/core-config.yaml and configure it for your project OR 2) Run the BMad installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically. Please add and configure core-config.yaml before proceeding."
-- Extract key configurations: `devStoryLocation`, `prd.*`, `architecture.*`, `workflow.*`
-- If `workflow.trackProgress: true`, use `utils/plan-management.md` to check plan sequence and warn if out of order
-
-### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
-
-#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files and Review Existing Stories
-
-- Based on `prdSharded` from config, locate epic files (sharded location/pattern or monolithic PRD sections)
-- If `devStoryLocation` has story files, load the highest `{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` file
-- **If highest story exists:**
-  - Verify status is 'Done'. If not, alert user: "ALERT: Found incomplete story! File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md Status: [current status] You should fix this story first, but would you like to accept risk & override to create the next story in draft?"
-  - If proceeding, select next sequential story in the current epic
-  - If epic is complete, prompt user: "Epic {epicNum} Complete: All stories in Epic {epicNum} have been completed. Would you like to: 1) Begin Epic {epicNum + 1} with story 1 2) Select a specific story to work on 3) Cancel story creation"
-  - **CRITICAL**: NEVER automatically skip to another epic. User MUST explicitly instruct which story to create.
-- **If no story files exist:** The next story is ALWAYS 1.1 (first story of first epic)
-- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}"
-
-### 2. Gather Story Requirements and Previous Story Context
-
-- Extract story requirements from the identified epic file
-- If previous story exists, review Dev Agent Record sections for:
-  - Completion Notes and Debug Log References
-  - Implementation deviations and technical decisions
-  - Challenges encountered and lessons learned
-- Extract relevant insights that inform the current story's preparation
-
-### 3. Gather Architecture Context
-
-#### 3.1 Determine Architecture Reading Strategy
-
-- **If `architectureVersion: >= v4` and `architectureSharded: true`**: Read `{architectureShardedLocation}/index.md` then follow structured reading order below
-- **Else**: Use monolithic `architectureFile` for similar sections
-
-#### 3.2 Read Architecture Documents Based on Story Type
-
-**For ALL Stories:** tech-stack.md, unified-project-structure.md, coding-standards.md, testing-strategy.md
-
-**For Backend/API Stories, additionally:** data-models.md, database-schema.md, backend-architecture.md, rest-api-spec.md, external-apis.md
-
-**For Frontend/UI Stories, additionally:** frontend-architecture.md, components.md, core-workflows.md, data-models.md
-
-**For Full-Stack Stories:** Read both Backend and Frontend sections above
-
-#### 3.3 Extract Story-Specific Technical Details
-
-Extract ONLY information directly relevant to implementing the current story. Do NOT invent new libraries, patterns, or standards not in the source documents.
-
-Extract:
-
-- Specific data models, schemas, or structures the story will use
-- API endpoints the story must implement or consume
-- Component specifications for UI elements in the story
-- File paths and naming conventions for new code
-- Testing requirements specific to the story's features
-- Security or performance considerations affecting the story
-
-ALWAYS cite source documents: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
-
-### 4. Verify Project Structure Alignment
-
-- Cross-reference story requirements with Project Structure Guide from `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md`
-- Ensure file paths, component locations, or module names align with defined structures
-- Document any structural conflicts in "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft
-
-### 5. Populate Story Template with Full Context
-
-- Create new story file: `{devStoryLocation}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` using Story Template
-- Fill in basic story information: Title, Status (Draft), Story statement, Acceptance Criteria from Epic
-- **`Dev Notes` section (CRITICAL):**
-  - CRITICAL: This section MUST contain ONLY information extracted from architecture documents. NEVER invent or assume technical details.
-  - Include ALL relevant technical details from Steps 2-3, organized by category:
-    - **Previous Story Insights**: Key learnings from previous story
-    - **Data Models**: Specific schemas, validation rules, relationships [with source references]
-    - **API Specifications**: Endpoint details, request/response formats, auth requirements [with source references]
-    - **Component Specifications**: UI component details, props, state management [with source references]
-    - **File Locations**: Exact paths where new code should be created based on project structure
-    - **Testing Requirements**: Specific test cases or strategies from testing-strategy.md
-    - **Technical Constraints**: Version requirements, performance considerations, security rules
-  - Every technical detail MUST include its source reference: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
-  - If information for a category is not found in the architecture docs, explicitly state: "No specific guidance found in architecture docs"
-- **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:**
-  - Generate detailed, sequential list of technical tasks based ONLY on: Epic Requirements, Story AC, Reviewed Architecture Information
-  - Each task must reference relevant architecture documentation
-  - Include unit testing as explicit subtasks based on the Testing Strategy
-  - Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`)
-- Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 4
-
-### 6. Story Draft Completion and Review
-
-- Review all sections for completeness and accuracy
-- Verify all source references are included for technical details
-- Ensure tasks align with both epic requirements and architecture constraints
-- Update status to "Draft" and save the story file
-- If `workflow.trackProgress: true` and `workflow.updateOnCompletion: true`, call update-workflow-plan task to mark story creation step complete
-- Execute `tasks/execute-checklist` `checklists/story-draft-checklist`
-- Provide summary to user including:
-  - Story created: `{devStoryLocation}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md`
-  - Status: Draft
-  - Key technical components included from architecture docs
-  - Any deviations or conflicts noted between epic and architecture
-  - Checklist Results
-  - Next steps: For Complex stories, suggest the user carefully review the story draft and also optionally have the PO run the task `validate-next-story`

-# Create Workflow Plan Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-Guide users through workflow selection and create a detailed plan document that outlines the selected workflow steps, decision points, and expected outputs. This task helps users understand what will happen before starting a complex workflow and provides a checklist to track progress.
-
-## Task Instructions
-
-### 1. Understand User's Goal
-
-[[LLM: Start with discovery questions to understand what the user wants to accomplish]]
-
-Ask the user:
-
-1. **Project Type**:
-   - Are you starting a new project (greenfield) or enhancing an existing one (brownfield)?
-   - What type of application? (web app, service/API, UI only, full-stack)
-
-2. **For Greenfield**:
-   - Do you need a quick prototype or production-ready application?
-   - Will this have a UI component?
-   - Single service or multiple services?
-
-3. **For Brownfield**:
-   - What's the scope of the enhancement?
-     - Single bug fix or small feature (few hours)
-     - Small enhancement (1-3 stories)
-     - Major feature requiring coordination
-     - Architectural changes or modernization
-   - Do you have existing documentation?
-   - Are you following existing patterns or introducing new ones?
-
-### 2. Recommend Appropriate Workflow
-
-Based on the answers, recommend:
-
-**Greenfield Options:**
-
-- `greenfield-fullstack` - Complete web application
-- `greenfield-service` - Backend API/service only

-### 7. Interactive Planning Mode
-
-[[LLM: If user wants to customize the workflow]]
-
-If user wants to modify the standard workflow:
-
-1. Present workflow steps as options
-2. Allow skipping optional steps
-3. Let user reorder certain steps
-4. Document customizations in plan
-5. Warn about dependencies if steps are skipped
-
-### 8. Execution Guidance
-
-After plan is created, provide clear guidance:
-
-```text
-Your workflow plan is ready! Here's how to proceed:
-
-1. **Review the plan**: Check that all steps align with your goals
-2. **Gather prerequisites**: Use the checklist to ensure you're ready
-3. **Start execution**:
-   - Full workflow: `*task workflow {{workflow-id}}`
-   - Step by step: Start with `@{{first-agent}}`
-4. **Track progress**: Check off steps in the plan as completed
-
-Would you like to:
-a) Review the plan together
-b) Start the workflow now
-c) Gather prerequisites first
-d) Modify the plan
-```
-
-## Success Criteria
-
-The workflow plan is successful when:
-
-1. User clearly understands what will happen
-2. All decision points are documented
-3. Prerequisites are identified
-4. Expected outputs are clear
-5. User feels confident to proceed
-6. Plan serves as useful progress tracker
-
-## Integration with BMad Master and Orchestrator
-
-When used by BMad Master or BMad Orchestrator, this task should:
-
-1. Be offered when user asks about workflows
-2. Be suggested before starting complex workflows
-3. Create a plan that the agent can reference during execution
-4. Allow the agent to track progress against the plan
-
-## Example Usage
-
-```text
-User: "I need to add a payment system to my existing app"
-
-BMad Orchestrator: "Let me help you create a workflow plan for that enhancement. I'll ask a few questions to recommend the best approach..."
-
-[Runs through discovery questions]
-
-BMad Orchestrator: "Based on your answers, I recommend the brownfield-fullstack workflow. Let me create a detailed plan for you..."
-
-[Creates and saves plan]
-
-BMad Orchestrator: "I've created a workflow plan at docs/workflow-plan.md. This shows all the steps we'll go through, what documents will be created, and where you'll need to make decisions. Would you like to review it together?"
