+# Edit Step 8b: Edit Expert Agent
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Apply all planned edits to the Expert agent YAML file and manage sidecar structure changes.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- 🛑 ALWAYS create backup before modifying agent file
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read template and architecture files first
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: Load editPlan and agentFile
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Load all reference files before applying edits
+- 📊 Manage sidecar structure for Expert agents
+- 💾 Validate YAML and sidecar paths after edits
+- ➡️ Auto-advance to post-edit validation when complete
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Load template, architecture, and data files
+- 📊 Read editPlan to get all planned changes
+- 💾 Create backup
+- 📝 Apply edits including sidecar management
+- ✅ Validate YAML and sidecar paths
+- ➡️ Auto-advance to next validation step
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Load Reference Documents
+
+Read all files before editing:
+- `{expertTemplate}` - Expert YAML structure
+- `{expertArch}` - Expert agent architecture
+- `{agentCompilation}`, `{agentMetadata}`, `{personaProperties}`, `{principlesCrafting}`
+- `{agentMenuPatterns}`, `{criticalActions}`, `{expertValidation}`
+
+### 2. Load Edit Plan and Agent
+
+Read `{editPlan}` to get all planned edits.
+Read `{agentFile}` to get current agent YAML.
+
+### 3. Create Backup
+
+ALWAYS backup before editing:
+`cp {agentFile} {agentBackup}`
+
+### 4. Apply Edits in Sequence
+
+**Type Conversion TO Expert:**
+- Set `module: stand-alone` and `hasSidecar: true`
+- Add `metadata.sidecar-folder` if not present
+- Create sidecar directory next to agent.yaml: `{agent-folder}/{agent-name}-sidecar/`
+
+**Sidecar Management:**
+- If changing sidecar-folder: update all critical_actions references
+- If removing sidecar (Expert → Simple): remove sidecar fields and folder
+- Create/update sidecar files as needed
+
+**Metadata, Persona, Commands, Critical Actions:**
+- Same as Simple agent edit
+
+### 5. Validate Sidecar Paths
+
+After editing, confirm all critical_actions reference correct sidecar paths:
+`{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/{file}.md`
+
+### 6. Document Applied Edits
+
+Append to `{editPlan}` with sidecar changes noted.
+
+### 7. Auto-Advance
+
+When all edits applied successfully, load and execute `{nextStepFile}` immediately.
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS
+
+✅ Backup created
+✅ All reference files loaded
+✅ All edits applied correctly
+✅ YAML remains valid
+✅ Sidecar structure correct
+✅ Sidecar paths validated
+
+## FAILURE MODES
+
+❌ Backup failed
+❌ YAML became invalid
+❌ Sidecar paths broken
+❌ Edits not applied as specified

+# Edit Step 9: Celebration
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Celebrate the successful agent edit, provide summary of changes, and mark edit workflow completion.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- 🎉 ALWAYS celebrate the achievement with enthusiasm
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: Read editPlan to summarize what was accomplished
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a celebration coordinator who acknowledges successful agent improvements
+- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring celebration energy, user brings their satisfaction, together we acknowledge successful collaboration
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus on celebrating and summarizing what was accomplished
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to end without marking workflow completion
+- 💬 Approach: Enthusiastic while providing clear summary
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎉 Celebrate the edit completion enthusiastically
+- 📊 Provide clear summary of all changes made
+- 💾 Mark workflow completion in edit plan
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to end without proper completion marking
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: editPlan with full edit history
+- Focus: Celebration and summary
+- Limits: No more edits, only acknowledgment
+- Dependencies: All edits successfully applied
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.:
+
+### 1. Read Edit Plan
+
+Read `{editPlan}` to get:
+- Original agent state
+- All edits that were applied
+- Validation results (before and after)
+
+### 2. Grand Celebration
+
+"🎉 **Excellent work!** Your agent **{agent-name}** has been successfully updated!"
+
+### 3. Edit Summary
+
+```markdown
+## Edit Summary for {agent-name}
+
+**Completed:** {YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM}
+**Edits Applied:** {count}
+
+### What Changed
+
+**Persona Updates:** {list or "None"}
+**Command Updates:** {list or "None"}
+**Metadata Updates:** {list or "None"}
+**Type Conversion:** {details or "None"}
+
+### Validation Results
+
+**Before:** {summary of pre-edit validation}
+**After:** {summary of post-edit validation}
+```
+
+### 4. Verification Guidance
+
+"**Quick Test:**
+- Load the agent and check it initializes correctly
+- Run through a few commands to verify behavior
+
+**File Locations:**
+- **Agent File:** `{agentFile}`
+- **Backup:** `{agentFile}.backup`"
+
+### 5. Document Completion
+
+Append to editPlan:
+
+```markdown
+## Edit Session Complete ✅
+
+**Completed:** {YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM}
+**Status:** Success
+
+### Final State
+- Agent file updated successfully
+- All edits applied
+- Backup preserved
+```
+
+### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**✅ Agent Edit Complete! Select an Option:** [V] Run Validation [S] Skip - Complete Now [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF V: "Loading validation phase..." → Save completion status to {editPlan}, update frontmatter with edit completion, then load, read entire file, then execute {validationWorkflow}
+- IF S: "Skipping validation. Completing workflow..." → Save completion status to {editPlan} and end workflow gracefully
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}, and when finished redisplay the menu
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}, and when finished redisplay the menu
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#6-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- User can choose validation (V), skip to complete (S), or use advanced elicitation (A) or party mode (P)
+- After other menu items execution (A/P), return to this menu
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [S skip option] is selected and [completion documented], will the workflow end gracefully with agent edit complete.
+IF [V validation option] is selected, the validation workflow will be loaded to perform comprehensive validation checks.
+

+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Enthusiastic celebration of edit completion
+- Clear summary of all changes provided
+- Before/after validation comparison shown
+- Verification guidance provided
+- Workflow completion marked in edit plan
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Ending without marking workflow completion
+- Not providing clear summary of changes
+- Missing celebration of achievement
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Load References
+
+Read `{agentMetadata}`, `{validationReport}`, and `{agentFile}`.
+
+### 2. Validate Metadata
+
+Perform these checks systematically - validate EVERY rule specified in agentMetadata.md:
+
+1. **Required Fields Existence**
+   - [ ] id: Present and non-empty
+   - [ ] name: Present and non-empty (display name)
+   - [ ] title: Present and non-empty
+   - [ ] icon: Present (emoji or symbol)
+   - [ ] module: Present and valid format
+   - [ ] hasSidecar: Present (boolean, if applicable)
+
+2. **Format Validation**
+   - [ ] id: Uses kebab-case, no spaces, unique identifier
+   - [ ] name: Clear display name for UI
+   - [ ] title: Concise functional description
+   - [ ] icon: Appropriate emoji or unicode symbol
+   - [ ] module: Either a 3-4 letter module code OR 'stand-alone'
+   - [ ] hasSidecar: Boolean value, matches actual agent structure
+
+3. **Content Quality**
+   - [ ] id: Unique and descriptive
+   - [ ] name: Clear and user-friendly
