+**Strategy**: Sprint planning needs ALL epics and stories to build complete status tracking.
+
+**Epic Discovery Process:**
+
+1. **Search for whole document first** - Look for `epics.md`, `bmm-epics.md`, or any `*epic*.md` file
+2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `epics/index.md`
+3. **If sharded version found**:
+   - Read `index.md` to understand the document structure
+   - Read ALL epic section files listed in the index (e.g., `epic-1.md`, `epic-2.md`, etc.)
+   - Process all epics and their stories from the combined content
+   - This ensures complete sprint status coverage
+4. **Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document
+
+**Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations like `epics.md`, `bmm-epics.md`, `user-stories.md`, etc.

+## 📚 Document Discovery - Selective Epic Loading
+
+**Strategy**: This workflow needs only ONE specific epic and its stories, not all epics. This provides huge efficiency gains when epics are sharded.
+
+**Epic Discovery Process (SELECTIVE OPTIMIZATION):**
+
+1. **Determine which epic** you need (epic_num from story key - e.g., story "3-2-feature-name" needs Epic 3)
+2. **Check for sharded version**: Look for `epics/index.md`
+3. **If sharded version found**:
+   - Read `index.md` to understand structure
+   - **Load ONLY `epic-{epic_num}.md`** (e.g., `epics/epic-3.md` for Epic 3)
+   - DO NOT load all epic files - only the one needed!
+   - This is the key efficiency optimization for large multi-epic projects
+4. **If whole document found**: Load the complete `epics.md` file and extract the relevant epic
+
+**Other Documents (prd, architecture, ux-design) - Full Load:**
+
+1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching
+2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md`
+3. **If sharded version found**:
+   - Read `index.md` to understand structure
+   - Read ALL section files listed in the index
+   - Treat combined content as single document
+4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md`
+
+**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document.
+
+**UX-Heavy Projects**: Always check for ux-design documentation as it provides critical context for UI-focused stories.

+# Technical Documentation Standards for BMAD
+
+**For Agent: Paige (Documentation Guide)**
+**Purpose: Concise reference for documentation creation and review**
+
+---
+
+## CRITICAL RULE: CommonMark Strict Compliance
+
+ALL documentation MUST follow CommonMark specification exactly. No exceptions.
+
+### CommonMark Essentials
+
+**Headers:**
+
+- Use ATX-style ONLY: `#` `##` `###` (NOT Setext underlines)
+- Single space after `#`: `# Title` (NOT `#Title`)
+- No trailing `#`: `# Title` (NOT `# Title #`)
+- Hierarchical order: Don't skip levels (h1→h2→h3, not h1→h3)
+
+**Code Blocks:**
+
+- Use fenced blocks with language identifier:
+  ````markdown
+  ```javascript
+  const example = 'code';
+  ```
+  ````
+- NOT indented code blocks (ambiguous)
+
+**Lists:**
+
+- Consistent markers within list: all `-` or all `*` or all `+` (don't mix)
+- Proper indentation for nested items (2 or 4 spaces, stay consistent)
+- Blank line before/after list for clarity
+
+**Links:**
+
+- Inline: `[text](url)`
+- Reference: `[text][ref]` then `[ref]: url` at bottom
+- NO bare URLs without `<>` brackets
+
+**Emphasis:**
+
+- Italic: `*text*` or `_text_`
+- Bold: `**text**` or `__text__`
+- Consistent style within document
+
+**Line Breaks:**
+
+- Two spaces at end of line + newline, OR
+- Blank line between paragraphs
+- NO single line breaks (they're ignored)
+
+---
+
+## Mermaid Diagrams: Valid Syntax Required
+
+**Critical Rules:**
+
+1. Always specify diagram type first line
+2. Use valid Mermaid v10+ syntax
+3. Test syntax before outputting (mental validation)
+4. Keep focused: 5-10 nodes ideal, max 15
+
+**Diagram Type Selection:**
+
+- **flowchart** - Process flows, decision trees, workflows
+- **sequenceDiagram** - API interactions, message flows, time-based processes
+- **classDiagram** - Object models, class relationships, system structure
+- **erDiagram** - Database schemas, entity relationships
+- **stateDiagram-v2** - State machines, lifecycle stages
+- **gitGraph** - Branch strategies, version control flows
+
+**Formatting:**
+
+````markdown
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    Start[Clear Label] --> Decision{Question?}
+    Decision -->|Yes| Action1[Do This]
+    Decision -->|No| Action2[Do That]
+```
+````
+
+---
+
+## Style Guide Principles (Distilled)
+
+Apply in this hierarchy:
+
+1. **Project-specific guide** (if exists) - always ask first
+2. **BMAD conventions** (this document)
+3. **Google Developer Docs style** (defaults below)
+4. **CommonMark spec** (when in doubt)
+
+### Core Writing Rules
+
+**Task-Oriented Focus:**
+
+- Write for user GOALS, not feature lists
+- Start with WHY, then HOW
+- Every doc answers: "What can I accomplish?"
+
+**Clarity Principles:**
+
+- Active voice: "Click the button" NOT "The button should be clicked"
+- Present tense: "The function returns" NOT "The function will return"
+- Direct language: "Use X for Y" NOT "X can be used for Y"
+- Second person: "You configure" NOT "Users configure" or "One configures"
+
+**Structure:**
+
+- One idea per sentence
+- One topic per paragraph
+- Headings describe content accurately
+- Examples follow explanations
+
+**Accessibility:**
+
+- Descriptive link text: "See the API reference" NOT "Click here"
+- Alt text for diagrams: Describe what it shows
+- Semantic heading hierarchy (don't skip levels)
+- Tables have headers
+- Emojis are acceptable if user preferences allow (modern accessibility tools support emojis well)
+
+---
+
+## OpenAPI/API Documentation
+
+**Required Elements:**
+
+- Endpoint path and method
+- Authentication requirements
+- Request parameters (path, query, body) with types
+- Request example (realistic, working)
+- Response schema with types
+- Response examples (success + common errors)
+- Error codes and meanings
+
+**Quality Standards:**
+
+- OpenAPI 3.0+ specification compliance
+- Complete schemas (no missing fields)
+- Examples that actually work
+- Clear error messages
+- Security schemes documented
+
+---
+
+## Documentation Types: Quick Reference
+
+**README:**
+
+- What (overview), Why (purpose), How (quick start)
+- Installation, Usage, Contributing, License
+- Under 500 lines (link to detailed docs)
+
+**API Reference:**
+
+- Complete endpoint coverage
+- Request/response examples
+- Authentication details
+- Error handling
+- Rate limits if applicable
+
+**User Guide:**
+
+- Task-based sections (How to...)
+- Step-by-step instructions
+- Screenshots/diagrams where helpful
+- Troubleshooting section
+
+**Architecture Docs:**
+
+- System overview diagram (Mermaid)
+- Component descriptions
+- Data flow
+- Technology decisions (ADRs)
+- Deployment architecture
+
+**Developer Guide:**
+
+- Setup/environment requirements
+- Code organization
+- Development workflow
+- Testing approach
+- Contribution guidelines
+
+---
+
+## Quality Checklist
+
+Before finalizing ANY documentation:
+
+- [ ] CommonMark compliant (no violations)
+- [ ] Headers in proper hierarchy
+- [ ] All code blocks have language tags
+- [ ] Links work and have descriptive text
+- [ ] Mermaid diagrams render correctly
+- [ ] Active voice, present tense
+- [ ] Task-oriented (answers "how do I...")
+- [ ] Examples are concrete and working
+- [ ] Accessibility standards met
+- [ ] Spelling/grammar checked
+- [ ] Reads clearly at target skill level
+
+---
+
+## BMAD-Specific Conventions
+
+**File Organization:**
+
+- `README.md` at root of each major component
+- `docs/` folder for extensive documentation
+- Workflow-specific docs in workflow folder
+- Cross-references use relative paths
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+Use YAML frontmatter when appropriate:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: Document Title
+description: Brief description
+author: Author name
+date: YYYY-MM-DD
+---
+```
+
+**Metadata:**
+
+- Always include last-updated date
+- Version info for versioned docs
+- Author attribution for accountability
+
+---
+
+**Remember: This is your foundation. Follow these rules consistently, and all documentation will be clear, accessible, and maintainable.**

When code changes, documentation must follow. When developers read our docs, they should trust every word.

-    <communication_style>Nature Documentarian (David Attenborough style) - I narrate documentation work with observational precision and subtle wonder. &quot;And here we observe the README in its natural habitat. Notice how the installation instructions have fallen out of sync with the actual CLI flow. Fascinating. Let us restore harmony to this ecosystem.&quot; I find beauty in well-organized information and treat documentation as a living system to be maintained.

-    <principles>I believe documentation is a contract with users - it must be trustworthy Code changes without doc updates create technical debt - always sync them Examples must execute correctly - broken examples destroy trust Cross-references must be valid - dead links are documentation rot README files are front doors - they must welcome and guide clearly API documentation should be generated, not hand-written when possible Good docs prevent issues before they happen - documentation is preventive maintenance</principles>
