+    style E fill:#fce4ec
+    style G fill:#f1f8e9
+    style H fill:#e0f2f1
+```
+
+### Step 1: Technical Specification (`create-tech-spec`)
+
+**Goal:** Transform user requirements into implementation-ready technical specifications
+
+**Process:**
+
+1. **Problem Understanding** - Clarify requirements, scope, and constraints
+2. **Code Investigation** - Analyze existing patterns and dependencies (if applicable)
+3. **Specification Generation** - Create comprehensive tech spec with:
+   - Problem statement and solution overview
+   - Development context and patterns
+   - Implementation tasks with acceptance criteria
+   - Technical decisions and dependencies
+4. **Review and Finalize** - Validate spec captures user intent
+
+**Output:** `tech-spec-{slug}.md` saved to sprint artifacts
+
+**Best Practices:**
+
+- Include ALL context a fresh dev agent needs
+- Be specific about files, patterns, and conventions
+- Define clear acceptance criteria using Given/When/Then format
+- Document technical decisions and trade-offs
+
+### Step 2: Development (`quick-dev`)
+
+**Goal:** Execute implementation based on tech spec or direct instructions
+
+**Two Modes:**
+
+**Mode A: Tech-Spec Driven**
+
+- Load existing tech spec
+- Extract tasks, context, and acceptance criteria
+- Execute all tasks continuously without stopping
+- Respect project context and existing patterns
+
+**Mode B: Direct Instructions**
+
+- Accept direct development commands
+- Offer optional planning step
+- Execute with minimal friction
+
+**Process:**
+
+1. **Load Project Context** - Understand patterns and conventions
+2. **Execute Implementation** - Work through all tasks:
+   - Load relevant files and context
+   - Implement following established patterns
+   - Write and run tests
+   - Handle errors appropriately
+3. **Verify Completion** - Ensure all tasks complete, tests passing, AC satisfied
+
+### Step 3: Code Review (`code-review`) - Optional
+
+**Goal:** Senior developer review of implemented code
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Critical production features
+- Complex architectural changes
+- Performance-sensitive implementations
+- Team development scenarios
+- Learning and knowledge transfer
+
+**Review Focus:**
+
+- Code quality and patterns
+- Acceptance criteria compliance
+- Performance and scalability
+- Security considerations
+- Maintainability and documentation
+
+---
+
+## Collaboration with Other Agents
+
+### Natural Partnerships

+- **Architect** - For complex system design decisions beyond Quick Flow scope
+- **Dev** - For implementation pair programming (rarely needed)
+- **QA** - For test strategy and quality gates on critical features
+- **UX Designer** - For user experience considerations
+
+### Party Mode Composition
+
+In party mode, Barry often acts as:
+
+- **Solo Tech Lead** - Guiding architectural decisions
+- **Implementation Expert** - Providing coding insights
+- **Performance Optimizer** - Ensuring scalable solutions
+- **Code Review Authority** - Validating technical approaches
+
+---

+3. **Define Success** - Clear acceptance criteria lead to better outcomes
+4. **Trust the Process** - The 3-step flow is optimized for speed and quality
+5. **Leverage Expertise** - I'll give you optimization and architectural insights automatically
+
+### Communication Patterns
+
+- **Git Commit Style** - "feat: Add user authentication with OAuth 2.0"
+- **RFC Style** - "Proposing microservice architecture for scalability"
+- **Direct Questions** - "Actually, have you considered the race condition?"
+- **Technical Trade-offs** - "We could optimize for speed over memory here"
+
+### Avoid These Common Mistakes
+
+1. **Vague Requirements** - Leads to unnecessary back-and-forth
+2. **Ignoring Patterns** - Causes technical debt and inconsistencies
+3. **Skipping Code Review** - Missed opportunities for quality improvement
+4. **Over-planning** - I excel at rapid, pragmatic development
+5. **Not Using Party Mode** - Missing collaborative insights for complex problems

+# Start with Barry
+/bmad:bmm:agents:quick-flow-solo-dev
+
+# Create a tech spec
+> create-tech-spec
+
+# Quick implementation
+> quick-dev tech-spec-auth.md

+```
+
+### Sample Tech Spec Structure
+
+```markdown
+# Tech-Spec: User Authentication System
+
+**Created:** 2025-01-15
+**Status:** Ready for Development
+
+## Overview
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+Users cannot securely access the application, and we need role-based permissions for enterprise features.
+
+### Solution
+
+Implement OAuth 2.0 authentication with JWT tokens and role-based access control (RBAC).
+
+### Scope (In/Out)
+
+**In:** Login, logout, password reset, role management
+**Out:** Social login, SSO, multi-factor authentication (Phase 2)
+
+## Context for Development
+
+### Codebase Patterns
+
+- Use existing auth middleware pattern in `src/middleware/auth.js`
+- Follow service layer pattern from `src/services/`
+- JWT secrets managed via environment variables
+
+### Files to Reference
+
+- `src/middleware/auth.js` - Authentication middleware
+- `src/models/User.js` - User data model
+- `config/database.js` - Database connection
+
+### Technical Decisions
+
+- JWT tokens over sessions for API scalability
+- bcrypt for password hashing
+- Role-based permissions stored in database
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Tasks
+
+- [ ] Create authentication service
+- [ ] Implement login/logout endpoints
+- [ ] Add JWT middleware
+- [ ] Create role-based permissions
+- [ ] Write comprehensive tests
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Given valid credentials, when user logs in, then receive JWT token
+- [ ] Given invalid token, when accessing protected route, then return 401
+- [ ] Given admin role, when accessing admin endpoint, then allow access
+```

+
+**Open-source Playwright utilities** from SEON Technologies (production-tested, npm published):
+
+- **Package**: `@seontechnologies/playwright-utils` ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@seontechnologies/playwright-utils) | [GitHub](https://github.com/seontechnologies/playwright-utils))
+- **Install**: `npm install -D @seontechnologies/playwright-utils`
+
+**How Playwright Utils Enhances TEA Workflows**:
+
+Provides fixture-based utilities that integrate into TEA's test generation and review workflows:
+
+1. `*framework`:
+   - Default: Basic Playwright scaffold
+   - **+ playwright-utils**: Scaffold with api-request, network-recorder, auth-session, burn-in, network-error-monitor fixtures pre-configured
+
+   Benefit: Production-ready patterns from day one
+
+2. `*automate`, `*atdd`:
+   - Default: Standard test patterns
+   - **+ playwright-utils**: Tests using api-request (schema validation), intercept-network-call (mocking), recurse (polling), log (structured logging), file-utils (CSV/PDF)
+
+   Benefit: Advanced patterns without boilerplate
+
+3. `*test-review`:
+   - Default: Reviews against core knowledge base (21 fragments)
+   - **+ playwright-utils**: Reviews against expanded knowledge base (32 fragments: 21 core + 11 playwright-utils)
+
+   Benefit: Reviews include fixture composition, auth patterns, network recording best practices
+
+4. `*ci`:
+   - Default: Standard CI workflow
+   - **+ playwright-utils**: CI workflow with burn-in script (smart test selection) and network-error-monitor integration
+
+   Benefit: Faster CI feedback, HTTP error detection
+
+**Utilities available** (11 total): api-request, network-recorder, auth-session, intercept-network-call, recurse, log, file-utils, burn-in, network-error-monitor, fixtures-composition
+
+**Enable during BMAD installation** by answering "Yes" when prompted, or manually set `tea_use_playwright_utils: true` in `{bmad_folder}/bmm/config.yaml`.
+
+**To disable**: Set `tea_use_playwright_utils: false` in `{bmad_folder}/bmm/config.yaml`.
