+ # BMAD Agent Validation Checklist
2
+
3
+ Use this checklist to validate agents meet BMAD quality standards, whether creating new agents or editing existing ones.
4
+
5
+ ## YAML Structure Validation (Source Files)
6
+
7
+ - [ ] YAML parses without errors
8
+ - [ ] `agent.metadata` includes: `id`, `name`, `title`, `icon`
9
+ - [ ] `agent.metadata.module` present if Module agent (e.g., `bmm`, `bmgd`, `cis`)
10
+ - [ ] `agent.persona` exists with role, identity, communication_style, principles
11
+ - [ ] `agent.menu` exists with at least one item
12
+ - [ ] Filename is kebab-case and ends with `.agent.yaml`
13
+
14
+ ## Agent Structure Validation
15
+
16
+ - [ ] Agent file format is valid (.agent.yaml for source)
17
+ - [ ] Agent type matches structure: Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), or Module (ecosystem integration)
18
+ - [ ] File naming follows convention: `{agent-name}.agent.yaml`
19
+ - [ ] If Expert: folder structure with .agent.yaml + sidecar files
20
+ - [ ] If Module: includes header comment explaining WHY Module Agent (design intent)
21
+
22
+ ## Persona Validation (CRITICAL - #1 Quality Issue)
23
+
24
+ **Field Separation Check:**
25
+
26
+ - [ ] **role** contains ONLY knowledge/skills/capabilities (what agent does)
27
+ - [ ] **identity** contains ONLY background/experience/context (who agent is)
28
+ - [ ] **communication_style** contains ONLY verbal patterns - NO behaviors, NO role statements, NO principles
29
+ - [ ] **principles** contains operating philosophy and behavioral guidelines
30
+
31
+ **Communication Style Purity Check:**
32
+
33
+ - [ ] Communication style does NOT contain red flag words: "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never"
34
+ - [ ] Communication style does NOT contain identity words: "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned"
35
+ - [ ] Communication style does NOT contain philosophy words: "believes in", "focused on", "committed to"
36
+ - [ ] Communication style does NOT contain behavioral descriptions: "who does X", "that does Y"
37
+ - [ ] Communication style is 1-2 sentences describing HOW they talk (word choice, quirks, verbal patterns)
38
+
39
+ **Quality Benchmarking:**
40
+
41
+ - [ ] Compare communication style against {communication_presets} - similarly pure?
42
+ - [ ] Compare against reference agents (commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents) - similar quality?
43
+ - [ ] Read communication style aloud - does it sound like describing someone's voice/speech pattern?
44
+
45
+ ## Menu Validation
46
+
47
+ - [ ] All menu items have `trigger` field
48
+ - [ ] Triggers do NOT start with `*` in YAML (auto-prefixed during compilation)
49
+ - [ ] Each item has `description` field
50
+ - [ ] Each menu item has at least one handler attribute: `workflow`, `exec`, `tmpl`, `data`, or `action`
51
+ - [ ] Workflow paths are correct (if workflow attribute present)
52
+ - [ ] Workflow paths use `{project-root}` variable for portability
53
+ - [ ] **Sidecar file paths are correct (if tmpl or data attributes present - Expert agents)**
54
+ - [ ] No duplicate triggers within same agent
55
+ - [ ] Menu items are in logical order
56
+
57
+ ## Prompts Validation (if present)
58
+
59
+ - [ ] Each prompt has `id` field
60
+ - [ ] Each prompt has `content` field
61
+ - [ ] Prompt IDs are unique within agent
62
+ - [ ] If using `action="#prompt-id"` in menu, corresponding prompt exists
63
+
64
+ ## Critical Actions Validation (if present)
65
+
66
+ - [ ] Critical actions array contains non-empty strings
67
+ - [ ] Critical actions describe steps that MUST happen during activation
68
+ - [ ] No placeholder text in critical actions
69
+
70
+ ## Type-Specific Validation
71
+
72
+ ### Simple Agent (Self-Contained)
73
+
74
+ - [ ] Single .agent.yaml file with complete agent definition
75
+ - [ ] No sidecar files (all content in YAML)
76
+ - [ ] Not capability-limited - can be as powerful as Expert or Module
77
+ - [ ] Compare against reference: commit-poet.agent.yaml
78
+
79
+ ### Expert Agent (With Sidecar Files)
80
+
81
+ - [ ] Folder structure: .agent.yaml + sidecar files
82
+ - [ ] Sidecar files properly referenced in menu items or prompts (tmpl="path", data="path")
83
+ - [ ] Folder name matches agent purpose
84
+ - [ ] **All sidecar references in YAML resolve to actual files**
85
+ - [ ] **All sidecar files are actually used (no orphaned/unused files, unless intentional for future use)**
86
+ - [ ] Sidecar files are valid format (YAML parses, CSV has headers, markdown is well-formed)
87
+ - [ ] Sidecar file paths use relative paths from agent folder
88
+ - [ ] Templates contain valid template variables if applicable
89
+ - [ ] Knowledge base files contain current/accurate information
90
+ - [ ] Compare against reference: journal-keeper (Expert example)
91
+
92
+ ### Module Agent (Ecosystem Integration)
93
+
94
+ - [ ] Designed FOR specific module (BMM, BMGD, CIS, etc.)
95
+ - [ ] Integrates with module workflows (referenced in menu items)
96
+ - [ ] Coordinates with other module agents (if applicable)
97
+ - [ ] Included in module's default bundle (if applicable)
98
+ - [ ] Header comment explains WHY Module Agent (design intent, not just location)
99
+ - [ ] Can be Simple OR Expert structurally (Module is about intent, not structure)
100
+ - [ ] Compare against references: security-engineer, dev, analyst (Module examples)
101
+
102
+ ## Compilation Validation (Post-Build)
103
+
104
+ - [ ] Agent compiles without errors to .md format
105
+ - [ ] Compiled file has proper frontmatter (name, description)
106
+ - [ ] Compiled XML structure is valid
107
+ - [ ] `<agent>` tag has id, name, title, icon attributes
108
+ - [ ] `<activation>` section is present with proper steps
109
+ - [ ] `<persona>` section compiled correctly
110
+ - [ ] `<menu>` section includes both user items AND auto-injected *help/*exit
111
+ - [ ] Menu handlers section included (if menu items use workflow/exec/tmpl/data/action)
112
+
113
+ ## Quality Checks
114
+
115
+ - [ ] No placeholder text remains ({{AGENT_NAME}}, {ROLE}, TODO, etc.)
116
+ - [ ] No broken references or missing files
117
+ - [ ] Syntax is valid (YAML source, XML compiled)
118
+ - [ ] Indentation is consistent
119
+ - [ ] Agent purpose is clear from reading persona alone
120
+ - [ ] Agent name/title are descriptive and clear
121
+ - [ ] Icon emoji is appropriate and represents agent purpose
122
+
123
+ ## Reference Standards
124
+
125
+ Your agent should meet these quality standards:
126
+
127
+ ✓ Persona fields properly separated (communication_style is pure verbal patterns)
128
+ ✓ Agent type matches structure (Simple/Expert/Module)
129
+ ✓ All workflow/sidecar paths resolve correctly
130
+ ✓ Menu structure is clear and logical
131
+ ✓ No legacy terminology (full/hybrid/standalone)
132
+ ✓ Comparable quality to reference agents (commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents)
133
+ ✓ Communication style has ZERO red flag words
134
+ ✓ Compiles cleanly to XML without errors
135
+
136
+ ## Common Issues and Fixes
137
+
138
+ ### Issue: Communication Style Has Behaviors
139
+
140
+ **Problem:** "Experienced analyst who ensures all stakeholders are heard"
141
+ **Fix:** Extract to proper fields:
142
+
143
+ - identity: "Senior analyst with 8+ years..."
144
+ - communication_style: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt"
145
+ - principles: "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
146
+
147
+ ### Issue: Broken Sidecar References (Expert agents)
148
+
149
+ **Problem:** Menu item references `tmpl="templates/daily.md"` but file doesn't exist
150
+ **Fix:** Either create the file or fix the path to point to actual file
151
+
152
+ ### Issue: Using Legacy Type Names
153
+
154
+ **Problem:** Comments refer to "full agent" or "hybrid agent"
155
+ **Fix:** Update to Simple/Expert/Module terminology
156
+
157
+ ### Issue: Menu Triggers Start With Asterisk
158
+
159
+ **Problem:** `trigger: "*create"` in YAML
160
+ **Fix:** Remove asterisk - compiler auto-adds it: `trigger: "create"`
161
+

7
- You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD agent** - an AI persona with specific expertise, personality, and capabilities that helps users accomplish tasks through commands and workflows.
7
+ You're brainstorming the **essence** of a BMAD agent - the living personality AND the utility it provides. Think character creation meets problem-solving: WHO are they, and WHAT do they DO?
8
