-# Retrospective Workflow
-
-The retrospective workflow is v6's learning capture mechanism, run by the Scrum Master (SM) after epic completion to systematically harvest insights, patterns, and improvements discovered during implementation. Unlike traditional retrospectives that focus primarily on process and team dynamics, this workflow performs deep technical and methodological analysis of the entire epic journey—from story creation through implementation to review—identifying what worked well, what could improve, and what patterns emerged. The retrospective produces actionable intelligence that informs future epics, improves workflow templates, and evolves the team's shared knowledge.
-
-This workflow represents a critical feedback loop in the v6 methodology. Each epic is an experiment in adaptive software development, and the retrospective is where we analyze the results of that experiment. The SM examines completed stories, review feedback, course corrections made, story-context effectiveness, technical decisions, and team collaboration patterns to extract transferable learning. This learning manifests as updates to workflow templates, new story-context patterns, refined estimation approaches, and documented best practices.
-
-The retrospective is not just a compliance ritual but a genuine opportunity for continuous improvement. By systematically analyzing what happened during the epic, the team builds institutional knowledge that makes each subsequent epic smoother, faster, and higher quality. The insights captured here directly improve future story creation, context generation, development efficiency, and review effectiveness.
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-# Conduct retrospective after epic completion
-bmad run retrospective
-```
-
-The SM should run this workflow:
-
-- After all stories in an epic are completed
-- Before starting the next major epic
-- When significant learning has accumulated
-- As preparation for improving future epic execution
-
-## Inputs

-# Sprint Planning Workflow
-
-## Overview
-
-The sprint-planning workflow generates and manages the sprint status tracking file that serves as the single source of truth for Phase 4 implementation. It extracts all epics and stories from epic files and tracks their progress through the development lifecycle.
-
-In Agile terminology, this workflow facilitates **Sprint Planning** or **Sprint 0 Kickoff** - the transition from planning/architecture into actual development execution.
-
-## Purpose
-
-This workflow creates a `sprint-status.yaml` file that:
-
-- Lists all epics, stories, and retrospectives in order
-- Tracks the current status of each item
-- Provides a clear view of what needs to be worked on next
-- Ensures only one story is in progress at a time
-- Maintains the development flow from backlog to done
-
-## When to Use
-
-Run this workflow:
-
-1. **Initially** - After Phase 3 (solutioning) is complete and epics are finalized
-2. **After epic context creation** - To update epic status to 'contexted'
-3. **Periodically** - To auto-detect newly created story files
-4. **For status checks** - To see overall project progress
-
-## Status State Machine
-
-### Epic Flow
-
-```
-backlog → contexted
-```
-
-### Story Flow
-
-```
-backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done
-```
-
-### Retrospective Flow
-
-```
-optional ↔ completed
-```
-
-## Key Guidelines
-
-1. **Epic Context Recommended**: Epics should be `contexted` before their stories can be `drafted`
-2. **Flexible Parallelism**: Multiple stories can be `in-progress` based on team capacity
-3. **Sequential Default**: Stories within an epic are typically worked in order, but parallel work is supported
-4. **Review Flow**: Stories should go through `review` before `done`
-5. **Learning Transfer**: SM typically drafts next story after previous is `done`, incorporating learnings
-
-## File Locations
-
-### Input Files
-
-- **Epic Files**: `{output_folder}/epic*.md` or `{output_folder}/epics.md`
-- **Epic Context**: `{output_folder}/epic-{n}-context.md`
-- **Story Files**: `{story_dir}/{epic}-{story}-{title}.md`
-  - Example: `stories/1-1-user-authentication.md`
-- **Story Context**: `{story_dir}/{epic}-{story}-{title}-context.md`
-  - Example: `stories/1-1-user-authentication-context.md`
-
-### Output File
-
-- **Status File**: `{output_folder}/sprint-status.yaml`
-
-## Usage by Agents
-
-### SM (Scrum Master) Agent
-
-```yaml
-Tasks:
-  - Check sprint-status.yaml for stories in 'done' status
-  - Identify next 'backlog' story to draft
-  - Run create-story workflow
-  - Update status to 'drafted'
-  - Create story context
-  - Update status to 'ready-for-dev'
-```
-
-### Developer Agent
-
-```yaml
-Tasks:
-  - Find stories with 'ready-for-dev' status
-  - Update to 'in-progress' when starting
-  - Implement the story
-  - Update to 'review' when complete
-  - Address review feedback
-  - Update to 'done' after review
-```
-
-### Test Architect
-
-```yaml
-Tasks:
-  - Monitor stories entering 'review'
-  - Track epic progress
-  - Identify when retrospectives are needed
-```
-
-## Example Output
-
-```yaml
-# Sprint Status
-# Generated: 2025-01-20
-# Project: MyPlantFamily
-
-development_status:
-  epic-1: contexted
-  1-1-project-foundation: done
-  1-2-app-shell: done
-  1-3-user-authentication: in-progress
-  1-4-plant-data-model: ready-for-dev
-  1-5-add-plant-manual: drafted
