-# Expert Agent Reference: Personal Journal Keeper (Whisper)
-
-This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Expert Agent** - an agent with persistent memory and domain-specific resources via a sidecar folder.
-
-## Overview
-
-**Agent Name:** Whisper
-**Type:** Expert Agent
-**Purpose:** Personal journal companion that remembers your entries, tracks mood patterns, and notices themes over time
-
-This reference demonstrates:
-
-- Expert Agent with focused sidecar resources
-- Embedded prompts PLUS sidecar file references (hybrid pattern)
-- Persistent memory across sessions
-- Domain-restricted file access
-- Pattern tracking and recall
-- Simple, maintainable architecture
-
-## Directory Structure

-├── README.md                          # This file

-    └── entries/                       # Individual journal entries
-```
-
-**Simple and focused!** Just 4 core files + a folder for entries.
-
-## Key Architecture Patterns
-
-### 1. Hybrid Command Pattern
-
-Expert Agents can use BOTH:
-
-- **Embedded prompts** via `action: "#prompt-id"` (like Simple Agents)
-- **Sidecar file references** via direct paths
-
-```yaml
-menu:
-  # Embedded prompt (like Simple Agent)
-  - trigger: 'write'
-    action: '#guided-entry'
-    description: "Write today's journal entry"
-
-  # Direct sidecar file action
-  - trigger: 'insight'
-    action: 'Document this breakthrough in ./journal-keeper-sidecar/breakthroughs.md'
-    description: 'Record a meaningful insight'
-```
-
-This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds!
-
-### 2. Mandatory Critical Actions
-
-Expert Agents MUST load sidecar files explicitly:
-
-```yaml
-critical_actions:
-  - 'Load COMPLETE file ./journal-keeper-sidecar/memories.md'
-  - 'Load COMPLETE file ./journal-keeper-sidecar/instructions.md'
-  - 'ONLY read/write files in ./journal-keeper-sidecar/'
-```
-
-**Key points:**
-
-- Files are loaded at startup
-- Domain restriction is enforced
-- Agent knows its boundaries
-
-### 3. Persistent Memory Pattern
-
-The `memories.md` file stores:
-
-- User preferences and patterns
-- Session notes and observations
-- Recurring themes discovered
-- Growth markers tracked
-
-**Critically:** This is updated EVERY session, creating continuity.
-
-### 4. Domain-Specific Tracking
-
-Different files track different aspects:
-
-- **memories.md** - Qualitative insights and observations
-- **mood-patterns.md** - Quantitative emotional data
-- **breakthroughs.md** - Significant moments
-- **entries/** - The actual content (journal entries)
-
-This separation makes data easy to reference and update.
-
-### 5. Simple Sidecar Structure
-
-Unlike modules with complex folder hierarchies, Expert Agent sidecars are flat and focused:
-
-- Just the files the agent needs
-- No nested workflows or templates
-- Easy to understand and maintain
-- All domain knowledge in one place
-
-## Comparison: Simple vs Expert vs Module
-
-| Feature       | Simple Agent         | Expert Agent               | Module Agent           |
-| ------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------- |
-| Architecture  | Single YAML          | YAML + sidecar folder      | YAML + module system   |
-| Memory        | Session only         | Persistent (sidecar files) | Config-driven          |
-| Prompts       | Embedded only        | Embedded + external files  | Workflow references    |
-| Dependencies  | None                 | Sidecar folder             | Module workflows/tasks |
-| Domain Access | None                 | Restricted to sidecar      | Full module access     |
-| Complexity    | Low                  | Medium                     | High                   |
-| Use Case      | Self-contained tools | Domain experts with memory | Full workflow systems  |
-
-## The Sweet Spot
-
-Expert Agents are the middle ground:
-
-- **More powerful** than Simple Agents (persistent memory, domain knowledge)
-- **Simpler** than Module Agents (no workflow orchestration)
-- **Focused** on specific domain expertise
-- **Personal** to the user's needs
-
-## When to Use Expert Agents
-
-**Perfect for:**
-
-- Personal assistants that need memory (journal keeper, diary, notes)
-- Domain specialists with knowledge bases (specific project context)
-- Agents that track patterns over time (mood, habits, progress)
-- Privacy-focused tools with restricted access
-- Tools that learn and adapt to individual users
-
-**Key indicators:**
-
-- Need to remember things between sessions
-- Should only access specific folders/files
-- Tracks data over time
-- Adapts based on accumulated knowledge
-
-## File Breakdown
-
-### journal-keeper.agent.yaml
-
-- Standard agent metadata and persona
-- **Embedded prompts** for guided interactions
-- **Menu commands** mixing both patterns
-- **Critical actions** that load sidecar files
-
-### instructions.md
-
-- Core behavioral directives
-- Journaling philosophy and approach
-- File management protocols
-- Tone and boundary guidelines
-
-### memories.md
-
-- User profile and preferences
-- Recurring themes discovered
-- Session notes and observations
-- Accumulated knowledge about the user
-
-### mood-patterns.md
-
-- Quantitative tracking (mood scores, energy, etc.)
-- Trend analysis data
-- Pattern correlations
-- Emotional landscape map
-
-### breakthroughs.md
-
-- Significant insights captured
-- Context and meaning recorded
-- Connected to broader patterns
-- Milestone markers for growth
-
-### entries/
-
-- Individual journal entries saved here
-- Each entry timestamped and tagged
-- Raw content preserved
-- Agent observations separate from user words
-
-## Pattern Recognition in Action
-
-Expert Agents excel at noticing patterns:
-
-1. **Reference past sessions:** "Last week you mentioned feeling stuck..."
-2. **Track quantitative data:** Mood scores over time
-3. **Spot recurring themes:** Topics that keep surfacing
-4. **Notice growth:** Changes in language, perspective, emotions
-5. **Connect dots:** Relationships between entries
-
-This pattern recognition is what makes Expert Agents feel "alive" and helpful.
-
-## Usage Notes
-
-### Starting Fresh
-
-The sidecar files are templates. A new user would:
-
-1. Start journaling with the agent
-2. Agent fills in memories.md over time
-3. Patterns emerge from accumulated data
-4. Insights build from history
-
-### Building Your Own Expert Agent
-
-1. **Define the domain** - What specific area will this agent focus on?
-2. **Choose sidecar files** - What data needs to be tracked/remembered?
-3. **Mix command patterns** - Use embedded prompts + sidecar references
-4. **Enforce boundaries** - Clearly state domain restrictions
-5. **Design for accumulation** - How will memory grow over time?
-
-### Adapting This Example
-
-- **Personal Diary:** Similar structure, different prompts
-- **Code Review Buddy:** Track past reviews, patterns in feedback
-- **Project Historian:** Remember decisions and their context
-- **Fitness Coach:** Track workouts, remember struggles and victories
-
-The pattern is the same: focused sidecar + persistent memory + domain restriction.
-
-## Key Takeaways
-
-- **Expert Agents** bridge Simple and Module complexity
-- **Sidecar folders** provide persistent, domain-specific memory
-- **Hybrid commands** use both embedded prompts and file references
-- **Pattern recognition** comes from accumulated data
-- **Simple structure** keeps it maintainable
-- **Domain restriction** ensures focused expertise
-- **Memory is the superpower** - remembering makes the agent truly useful

-# Module Agent Examples
-
-Reference examples for module-integrated agents.
-
-## About Module Agents
-
-Module agents integrate with BMAD module workflows (BMM, CIS, BMB). They:
-
-- Orchestrate multi-step workflows
-- Use `_bmad` path variables
-- Reference module-specific configurations
-- Can be bundled into web bundlers with the other agents
-- Participate in party mode with the modules other agents
-
-## Examples
-
-### security-engineer.agent.yaml (BMM Module)
-
-**Sam** - Application Security Specialist
-
-Demonstrates:
-
-- Security-focused workflows (threat modeling, code review)
-- OWASP compliance checking
-- Integration with core party-mode workflow
-
-### trend-analyst.agent.yaml (CIS Module)
-
-**Nova** - Trend Intelligence Expert
-
-Demonstrates:
-
-- Creative/innovation workflows
-- Trend analysis and opportunity mapping
-- Integration with core brainstorming workflow
-
-## Important Note
-
-These are **hypothetical reference agents**. The workflows they reference (threat-model, trend-scan, etc.) may not exist. They serve as examples of proper module agent structure.
-
-## Using as Templates
-
-When creating module agents:
-
-1. Copy relevant example
-2. Update metadata (id, name, title, icon, module)
-3. Rewrite persona for your domain
-4. Replace menu with actual available workflows
-5. Remove hypothetical workflow references
