- 1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
8
-
9
- 2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
10
-
11
- - `==================== START: .bmad-core/folder/filename.md ====================`
12
- - `==================== END: .bmad-core/folder/filename.md ====================`
13
-
14
- When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
15
-
16
- - Look for the corresponding START/END tags
17
- - The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-core/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-core/tasks/create-story.md`)
18
- - If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
19
-
20
- **Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
21
-
22
- ```yaml
23
- dependencies:
24
- utils:
25
- - template-format
26
- tasks:
27
- - create-story
28
- ```
29
-
30
- These references map directly to bundle sections:
31
-
32
- - `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-core/utils/template-format.md ====================`
33
- - `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-story.md ====================`
34
-
35
- 3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.
36
-
37
- 4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

- # Create Next Story Task
89
-
90
- ## Purpose
91
-
92
- 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.
93
-
94
- ## SEQUENTIAL Task Execution (Do not proceed until current Task is complete)
95
-
96
- ### 0. Load Core Configuration and Check Workflow
97
-
98
- - Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` from the project root
99
- - 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."
100
- - Extract key configurations: `devStoryLocation`, `prd.*`, `architecture.*`, `workflow.*`
101
- - If `workflow.trackProgress: true`, use `utils/plan-management.md` to check plan sequence and warn if out of order
102
-
103
- ### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
104
-
105
- #### 1.1 Locate Epic Files and Review Existing Stories
106
-
107
- - Based on `prdSharded` from config, locate epic files (sharded location/pattern or monolithic PRD sections)
108
- - If `devStoryLocation` has story files, load the highest `{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` file
109
- - **If highest story exists:**
110
- - 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?"
111
- - If proceeding, select next sequential story in the current epic
112
- - 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"
113
- - **CRITICAL**: NEVER automatically skip to another epic. User MUST explicitly instruct which story to create.
114
- - **If no story files exist:** The next story is ALWAYS 1.1 (first story of first epic)
115
- - Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}"
116
-
117
- ### 2. Gather Story Requirements and Previous Story Context
118
-
119
- - Extract story requirements from the identified epic file
120
- - If previous story exists, review Dev Agent Record sections for:
121
- - Completion Notes and Debug Log References
122
- - Implementation deviations and technical decisions
123
- - Challenges encountered and lessons learned
124
- - Extract relevant insights that inform the current story's preparation
125
-
126
- ### 3. Gather Architecture Context
127
-
128
- #### 3.1 Determine Architecture Reading Strategy
129
-
130
- - **If `architectureVersion: >= v4` and `architectureSharded: true`**: Read `{architectureShardedLocation}/index.md` then follow structured reading order below
131
- - **Else**: Use monolithic `architectureFile` for similar sections
132
-
133
- #### 3.2 Read Architecture Documents Based on Story Type
134
-
135
- **For ALL Stories:** tech-stack.md, unified-project-structure.md, coding-standards.md, testing-strategy.md
136
-
137
- **For Backend/API Stories, additionally:** data-models.md, database-schema.md, backend-architecture.md, rest-api-spec.md, external-apis.md
138
-
139
- **For Frontend/UI Stories, additionally:** frontend-architecture.md, components.md, core-workflows.md, data-models.md
140
-
141
- **For Full-Stack Stories:** Read both Backend and Frontend sections above
142
-
143
- #### 3.3 Extract Story-Specific Technical Details
144
-
145
- Extract ONLY information directly relevant to implementing the current story. Do NOT invent new libraries, patterns, or standards not in the source documents.
146
-
147
- Extract:
148
-
149
- - Specific data models, schemas, or structures the story will use
150
- - API endpoints the story must implement or consume
151
- - Component specifications for UI elements in the story
152
- - File paths and naming conventions for new code
153
- - Testing requirements specific to the story's features
154
- - Security or performance considerations affecting the story
155
-
156
- ALWAYS cite source documents: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
157
-
158
- ### 4. Verify Project Structure Alignment
159
-
160
- - Cross-reference story requirements with Project Structure Guide from `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md`
161
- - Ensure file paths, component locations, or module names align with defined structures
162
- - Document any structural conflicts in "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft
163
-
164
- ### 5. Populate Story Template with Full Context
165
-
166
- - Create new story file: `{devStoryLocation}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` using Story Template
167
- - Fill in basic story information: Title, Status (Draft), Story statement, Acceptance Criteria from Epic
168
- - **`Dev Notes` section (CRITICAL):**
169
- - CRITICAL: This section MUST contain ONLY information extracted from architecture documents. NEVER invent or assume technical details.
170
- - Include ALL relevant technical details from Steps 2-3, organized by category:
171
- - **Previous Story Insights**: Key learnings from previous story
172
- - **Data Models**: Specific schemas, validation rules, relationships [with source references]
173
- - **API Specifications**: Endpoint details, request/response formats, auth requirements [with source references]
174
- - **Component Specifications**: UI component details, props, state management [with source references]
175
- - **File Locations**: Exact paths where new code should be created based on project structure
176
- - **Testing Requirements**: Specific test cases or strategies from testing-strategy.md
177
- - **Technical Constraints**: Version requirements, performance considerations, security rules
178
- - Every technical detail MUST include its source reference: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
179
- - If information for a category is not found in the architecture docs, explicitly state: "No specific guidance found in architecture docs"
180
- - **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:**
181
- - Generate detailed, sequential list of technical tasks based ONLY on: Epic Requirements, Story AC, Reviewed Architecture Information
182
- - Each task must reference relevant architecture documentation
183
- - Include unit testing as explicit subtasks based on the Testing Strategy
184
- - Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`)
185
- - Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 4
186
-
187
- ### 6. Story Draft Completion and Review
188
-
189
- - Review all sections for completeness and accuracy
190
- - Verify all source references are included for technical details
191
- - Ensure tasks align with both epic requirements and architecture constraints
192
- - Update status to "Draft" and save the story file
193
- - If `workflow.trackProgress: true` and `workflow.updateOnCompletion: true`, call update-workflow-plan task to mark story creation step complete
194
- - Execute `tasks/execute-checklist` `checklists/story-draft-checklist`
195
- - Provide summary to user including:
196
- - Story created: `{devStoryLocation}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md`
197
- - Status: Draft
198
- - Key technical components included from architecture docs
199
- - Any deviations or conflicts noted between epic and architecture
200
- - Checklist Results
201
- - 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`

- # Checklist Validation Task
206
-
207
- This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
208
-
209
- ## Available Checklists
210
-
211
- If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
212
-
213
- ## Instructions
214
-
215
- 1. **Initial Assessment**
216
-
217
- - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
218
- - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
219
- - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
220
- - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-core/checklists/
221
- - If no checklist specified:
222
- - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
223
- - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
224
- - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
225
- - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
226
- - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
227
-
228
- 2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
229
-
230
- - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
231
- - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
232
-
233
- 3. **Checklist Processing**
234
-
235
- If in interactive mode:
236
-
237
- - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
238
- - For each section:
239
- - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
240
- - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
241
- - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
242
- - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
243
-
244
- If in YOLO mode:
245
-
246
- - Process all sections at once
247
- - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
248
- - Present the complete analysis to the user
249
-
250
- 4. **Validation Approach**
251
-
252
- For each checklist item:
253
-
254
- - Read and understand the requirement
255
- - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
256
- - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
257
- - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
258
- - Mark items as:
259
- - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
260
- - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
261
- - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
262
- - N/A: Not applicable to this case
263
-
264
- 5. **Section Analysis**
265
-
266
- For each section:
267
-
268
- - think step by step to calculate pass rate
269
- - Identify common themes in failed items
270
- - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
271
- - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
272
- - Document any user decisions or explanations
273
-
274
- 6. **Final Report**
275
-
276
- Prepare a summary that includes:
277
-
278
- - Overall checklist completion status
279
- - Pass rates by section
280
- - List of failed items with context
281
- - Specific recommendations for improvement
282
- - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
283
-
284
- ## Checklist Execution Methodology
285
-
286
- Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
287
-
288
- 1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
289
- 2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
290
- 3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
291
- 4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
292
-
293
- The LLM will:
294
-
295
- - Execute the complete checklist validation
296
- - Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
297
- - Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

- # Correct Course Task
302
-
303
- ## Purpose
304
-
305
- - Guide a structured response to a change trigger using the `change-checklist`.
306
- - Analyze the impacts of the change on epics, project artifacts, and the MVP, guided by the checklist's structure.
307
- - Explore potential solutions (e.g., adjust scope, rollback elements, rescope features) as prompted by the checklist.
308
- - Draft specific, actionable proposed updates to any affected project artifacts (e.g., epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document sections) based on the analysis.
309
- - Produce a consolidated "Sprint Change Proposal" document that contains the impact analysis and the clearly drafted proposed edits for user review and approval.
310
- - Ensure a clear handoff path if the nature of the changes necessitates fundamental replanning by other core agents (like PM or Architect).
311
-
312
- ## Instructions
313
-
314
- ### 1. Initial Setup & Mode Selection
315
-
316
- - **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:**
317
- - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated.
318
- - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact.
319
- - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`).
320
- - **Establish Interaction Mode:**
321
- - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task:
322
- - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement."
323
- - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals."
324
- - Request the user to select their preferred mode.
325
- - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed.
326
- - **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode."
327
- <rule>When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses.</rule>
328
-
329
- ### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode)
330
-
331
- - Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation).
332
- - For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode):
333
- - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user.
334
- - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact.
335
- - Discuss your findings for each item with the user.
336
- - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions.
337
- - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist.
338
-
339
- ### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched)
340
-
341
- - Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect):
342
- - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams).
343
- - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include:
344
- - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority.
345
- - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics.
346
- - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram).
347
- - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents.
348
- - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision).
349
- - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted.
350
- - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step.
351
-
352
- ### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits
353
-
354
- - Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components).
355
- - The proposal must clearly present:
356
- - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward.
357
- - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]").
358
- - Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user.
359
-
360
- ### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps
361
-
362
- - Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it.
363
- - Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user.
364
- - **Based on the nature of the approved changes:**
365
- - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate.
366
- - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort.
367
-
368
- ## Output Deliverables
369
-
370
- - **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain:
371
- - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path).
372
- - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts.
373
- - **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process.

- # Story Draft Checklist
518
-
519
- The Scrum Master should use this checklist to validate that each story contains sufficient context for a developer agent to implement it successfully, while assuming the dev agent has reasonable capabilities to figure things out.
520
-
521
- [[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - STORY DRAFT VALIDATION
522
-
523
- Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
524
-
525
- 1. The story document being validated (usually in docs/stories/ or provided directly)
526
- 2. The parent epic context
527
- 3. Any referenced architecture or design documents
528
- 4. Previous related stories if this builds on prior work
529
-
530
- IMPORTANT: This checklist validates individual stories BEFORE implementation begins.
531
-
532
- VALIDATION PRINCIPLES:
533
-
534
- 1. Clarity - A developer should understand WHAT to build
535
- 2. Context - WHY this is being built and how it fits
536
- 3. Guidance - Key technical decisions and patterns to follow
537
- 4. Testability - How to verify the implementation works
538
- 5. Self-Contained - Most info needed is in the story itself
539
-
540
- REMEMBER: We assume competent developer agents who can:
541
-
542
- - Research documentation and codebases
543
- - Make reasonable technical decisions
544
- - Follow established patterns
545
- - Ask for clarification when truly stuck
546
-
547
- We're checking for SUFFICIENT guidance, not exhaustive detail.]]
548
-
549
- ## 1. GOAL & CONTEXT CLARITY
550
-
551
- [[LLM: Without clear goals, developers build the wrong thing. Verify:
552
-
553
- 1. The story states WHAT functionality to implement
554
- 2. The business value or user benefit is clear
555
- 3. How this fits into the larger epic/product is explained
556
- 4. Dependencies are explicit ("requires Story X to be complete")
557
- 5. Success looks like something specific, not vague]]
558
-
559
- - [ ] Story goal/purpose is clearly stated
560
- - [ ] Relationship to epic goals is evident
561
- - [ ] How the story fits into overall system flow is explained
562
- - [ ] Dependencies on previous stories are identified (if applicable)
563
- - [ ] Business context and value are clear
564
-
565
- ## 2. TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
566
-
567
- [[LLM: Developers need enough technical context to start coding. Check:
568
-
569
- 1. Key files/components to create or modify are mentioned
570
- 2. Technology choices are specified where non-obvious
571
- 3. Integration points with existing code are identified
572
- 4. Data models or API contracts are defined or referenced
573
- 5. Non-standard patterns or exceptions are called out
574
-
575
- Note: We don't need every file listed - just the important ones.]]
576
-
577
- - [ ] Key files to create/modify are identified (not necessarily exhaustive)
578
- - [ ] Technologies specifically needed for this story are mentioned
579
- - [ ] Critical APIs or interfaces are sufficiently described
580
- - [ ] Necessary data models or structures are referenced
581
- - [ ] Required environment variables are listed (if applicable)
582
- - [ ] Any exceptions to standard coding patterns are noted
583
-
584
- ## 3. REFERENCE EFFECTIVENESS
585
-
586
- [[LLM: References should help, not create a treasure hunt. Ensure:
587
-
588
- 1. References point to specific sections, not whole documents
589
- 2. The relevance of each reference is explained
590
- 3. Critical information is summarized in the story
591
- 4. References are accessible (not broken links)
592
- 5. Previous story context is summarized if needed]]
593
-
594
- - [ ] References to external documents point to specific relevant sections
595
- - [ ] Critical information from previous stories is summarized (not just referenced)
596
- - [ ] Context is provided for why references are relevant
597
- - [ ] References use consistent format (e.g., `docs/filename.md#section`)
598
-
599
- ## 4. SELF-CONTAINMENT ASSESSMENT
600
-
601
- [[LLM: Stories should be mostly self-contained to avoid context switching. Verify:
602
-
603
- 1. Core requirements are in the story, not just in references
604
- 2. Domain terms are explained or obvious from context
605
- 3. Assumptions are stated explicitly
606
- 4. Edge cases are mentioned (even if deferred)
607
- 5. The story could be understood without reading 10 other documents]]
608
-
609
- - [ ] Core information needed is included (not overly reliant on external docs)
610
- - [ ] Implicit assumptions are made explicit
611
- - [ ] Domain-specific terms or concepts are explained
612
- - [ ] Edge cases or error scenarios are addressed
613
-
614
- ## 5. TESTING GUIDANCE
615
-
616
- [[LLM: Testing ensures the implementation actually works. Check:
617
-
618
- 1. Test approach is specified (unit, integration, e2e)
619
- 2. Key test scenarios are listed
620
- 3. Success criteria are measurable
621
- 4. Special test considerations are noted
622
- 5. Acceptance criteria in the story are testable]]
623
-
624
- - [ ] Required testing approach is outlined
625
- - [ ] Key test scenarios are identified
626
- - [ ] Success criteria are defined
627
- - [ ] Special testing considerations are noted (if applicable)
628
-
629
- ## VALIDATION RESULT
630
-
631
- [[LLM: FINAL STORY VALIDATION REPORT
632
-
633
- Generate a concise validation report:
634
-
635
- 1. Quick Summary
636
-
637
- - Story readiness: READY / NEEDS REVISION / BLOCKED
638
- - Clarity score (1-10)
639
- - Major gaps identified
640
-
641
- 2. Fill in the validation table with:
642
-
643
- - PASS: Requirements clearly met
644
- - PARTIAL: Some gaps but workable
645
- - FAIL: Critical information missing
646
-
647
- 3. Specific Issues (if any)
648
-
649
- - List concrete problems to fix
650
- - Suggest specific improvements
651
- - Identify any blocking dependencies
652
-
653
- 4. Developer Perspective
654
- - Could YOU implement this story as written?
655
- - What questions would you have?
656
- - What might cause delays or rework?
657
-
658
- Be pragmatic - perfect documentation doesn't exist, but it must be enough to provide the extreme context a dev agent needs to get the work down and not create a mess.]]
