+# Build Module Workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+The Build Module workflow is an interactive scaffolding system that creates complete BMAD modules with agents, workflows, tasks, and installation infrastructure. It serves as the primary tool for building new modules in the BMAD ecosystem, guiding users through the entire module creation process from concept to deployment-ready structure.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Interactive Module Planning** - Collaborative session to define module concept, scope, and architecture
+- **Intelligent Scaffolding** - Automatic creation of proper directory structures and configuration files
+- **Component Integration** - Seamless integration with create-agent and create-workflow workflows
+- **Installation Infrastructure** - Complete installer setup with configuration templates
+- **Module Brief Integration** - Can use existing module briefs as blueprints for accelerated development
+- **Validation and Documentation** - Built-in validation checks and comprehensive README generation
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Invocation
+
+```bash
+workflow create-module
+```
+
+### With Module Brief Input
+
+```bash
+# If you have a module brief from the module-brief workflow
+workflow create-module --input module-brief-my-module-2024-09-26.md
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+The workflow loads critical variables from the BMB configuration:
+
+- **custom_module_location**: Where custom modules are created (default: `bmad/`)
+- **user_name**: Module author information
+- **date**: Automatic timestamp for versioning
+
+## Workflow Structure

+```
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 1: Concept Definition (Steps 1-2)
+
+**Module Vision and Identity**
+
+- Define module concept, purpose, and target audience
+- Establish module code (kebab-case) and friendly name
+- Choose module category (Domain-Specific, Creative, Technical, Business, Personal)
+- Plan component architecture with agent and workflow specifications
+
+**Module Brief Integration**
+
+- Automatically detects existing module briefs in output folder
+- Can load and use briefs as pre-populated blueprints
+- Accelerates planning when comprehensive brief exists
+
+### Phase 2: Architecture Planning (Steps 3-4)
+
+**Directory Structure Creation**
+
+- Creates complete module directory hierarchy

+# Module Brainstorming Context
+
+_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD module_
+
+## Session Focus
+
+You are brainstorming ideas for a **complete BMAD module** - a self-contained package that extends the BMAD Method with specialized domain expertise and capabilities.
+
+## What is a BMAD Module?
+
+A module is a cohesive package that provides:
+
+- **Domain Expertise**: Specialized knowledge in a specific area (RPG, DevOps, Content Creation, etc.)
+- **Agent Team**: Multiple AI personas with complementary skills
+- **Workflows**: Guided processes for common tasks in the domain
+- **Templates**: Document structures for consistent outputs
+- **Integration**: Components that work together seamlessly
+
+## Brainstorming Goals
+
+Explore and define:
+
+### 1. Domain and Purpose
+
+- **What domain/problem space?** (e.g., game development, marketing, personal productivity)
+- **Who is the target user?** (developers, writers, managers, hobbyists)
+- **What pain points does it solve?** (tedious tasks, missing structure, need for expertise)
+- **What makes this domain exciting?** (creativity, efficiency, empowerment)
+
+### 2. Agent Team Composition
+
+- **How many agents?** (typically 3-7 for a module)
+- **What roles/personas?** (architect, researcher, reviewer, specialist)
+- **How do they collaborate?** (handoffs, reviews, ensemble work)
+- **What personality theme?** (Star Trek crew, superhero team, fantasy party, professional squad)
+
+### 3. Core Workflows
+
+- **What documents need creating?** (plans, specs, reports, creative outputs)
+- **What processes need automation?** (analysis, generation, review, deployment)
+- **What workflows enable the vision?** (3-10 key workflows that define the module)
+
+### 4. Value Proposition
+
+- **What becomes easier?** (specific tasks that get 10x faster)
+- **What becomes possible?** (new capabilities previously unavailable)
+- **What becomes better?** (quality improvements, consistency gains)
+
+## Creative Constraints
+
+A good BMAD module should be:
+
+- **Focused**: Serves a specific domain well (not generic)
+- **Complete**: Provides end-to-end capabilities for that domain
+- **Cohesive**: Agents and workflows complement each other
+- **Fun**: Personality and creativity make it enjoyable to use
+- **Practical**: Solves real problems, delivers real value
+
+## Module Architecture Questions
+
+1. **Module Identity**
+   - Module code (kebab-case, e.g., "rpg-toolkit")
+   - Module name (friendly, e.g., "RPG Toolkit")
+   - Module purpose (one sentence)
+   - Target audience
+
+2. **Agent Lineup**
+   - Agent names and roles
+   - Communication styles and personalities
+   - Expertise areas
+   - Command sets (what each agent can do)
+
+3. **Workflow Portfolio**
+   - Document generation workflows
+   - Action/automation workflows
+   - Analysis/research workflows
+   - Creative/ideation workflows
+
+4. **Integration Points**
+   - How agents invoke workflows
+   - How workflows use templates
+   - How components pass data
+   - Dependencies on other modules
+
+## Example Module Patterns
+
+### Professional Domains
+
+- **DevOps Suite**: Deploy, Monitor, Troubleshoot agents + deployment workflows
+- **Marketing Engine**: Content, SEO, Analytics agents + campaign workflows
+- **Legal Assistant**: Contract, Research, Review agents + document workflows
+
+### Creative Domains
+
+- **RPG Toolkit**: DM, NPC, Quest agents + adventure creation workflows
+- **Story Crafter**: Plot, Character, World agents + writing workflows
+- **Music Producer**: Composer, Arranger, Mixer agents + production workflows
+
+### Personal Domains
+
+- **Life Coach**: Planner, Tracker, Mentor agents + productivity workflows
+- **Learning Companion**: Tutor, Quiz, Reviewer agents + study workflows
+- **Health Guide**: Nutrition, Fitness, Wellness agents + tracking workflows
+
+## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
+
+Particularly effective for module ideation:
+
+1. **Domain Immersion**: Deep dive into target domain's problems
+2. **Persona Mapping**: Who needs this and what do they struggle with?
+3. **Workflow Mapping**: What processes exist today? How could they improve?
+4. **Team Building**: What personalities would make a great team?
+5. **Integration Thinking**: How do pieces connect and amplify each other?
+
+## Key Questions to Answer
+
+1. What domain expertise should this module embody?
+2. What would users be able to do that they can't do now?
+3. Who are the 3-7 agents and what are their personalities?
+4. What are the 5-10 core workflows?
+5. What makes this module delightful to use?
+6. How is this different from existing tools?
+7. What's the "killer feature" that makes this essential?
+
+## Output Goals
+
+Generate:
+
+- **Module concept**: Clear vision and purpose
+- **Agent roster**: Names, roles, personalities for each agent
+- **Workflow list**: Core workflows with brief descriptions
+- **Unique angle**: What makes this module special
+- **Use cases**: 3-5 concrete scenarios where this module shines
