+# Workflow Audit Report
+
+**Workflow:** dev-story
+**Audit Date:** 2025-10-25
+**Auditor:** Audit Workflow (BMAD v6)
+**Workflow Type:** Action Workflow
+**Module:** BMM (BMad Method)
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Overall Status:** GOOD - Minor issues to address
+
+- Critical Issues: 0
+- Important Issues: 3
+- Cleanup Recommendations: 2
+
+The dev-story workflow is well-structured and follows most BMAD v6 standards. The workflow correctly sets `web_bundle: false` as expected for implementation workflows. However, there are several config variable usage issues and some variables referenced in instructions that are not defined in the YAML.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Standard Config Block Validation
+
+**Status:** PASS ✓
+
+The workflow.yaml contains all required standard config variables:
+
+- ✓ `config_source: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/config.yaml"` - Correctly defined
+- ✓ `output_folder: "{config_source}:output_folder"` - Pulls from config_source
+- ✓ `user_name: "{config_source}:user_name"` - Pulls from config_source
+- ✓ `communication_language: "{config_source}:communication_language"` - Pulls from config_source
+- ✓ `date: system-generated` - Correctly set
+
+All standard config variables are present and properly formatted using {project-root} variable syntax.
+
+---
+
+## 2. YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
+
+**Variables Analyzed:** 9 (excluding standard config)
+**Used in Instructions:** 6
+**Unused (Bloat):** 3
+
+### YAML Variables Defined
+
+1. `story_dir` - USED in instructions (file paths)
+2. `context_path` - UNUSED (appears to duplicate story_dir)
+3. `story_file` - USED in instructions
+4. `context_file` - USED in instructions
+5. `installed_path` - USED in instructions (workflow.xml reference)
+6. `instructions` - USED in instructions (self-reference in critical tag)
+7. `validation` - USED in instructions (checklist reference)
+8. `web_bundle` - CONFIGURATION (correctly set to false)
+9. `date` - USED in instructions (config variable)
+
+### Variables Used in Instructions But NOT Defined in YAML
+
+**IMPORTANT ISSUE:** The following variables are referenced in instructions.md but are NOT defined in workflow.yaml:
+
+1. `{user_skill_level}` - Used 4 times (lines 6, 13, 173, 182)
+2. `{document_output_language}` - Used 1 time (line 7)
+3. `{run_until_complete}` - Used 1 time (line 108)
+4. `{run_tests_command}` - Used 1 time (line 120)
+
+These variables appear to be pulling from config.yaml but are not explicitly defined in the workflow.yaml file. While the config_source mechanism may provide these, workflow.yaml should document all variables used in the workflow for clarity.
+
+### Unused Variables (Bloat)
+
+1. **context_path** - Defined as `"{config_source}:dev_ephemeral_location"` but never used. This duplicates `story_dir` functionality.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Config Variable Usage
+
+**Communication Language:** PASS ✓
+**User Name:** PASS ✓
+**Output Folder:** PASS ✓
+**Date:** PASS ✓
+
+### Detailed Analysis
+
+**Communication Language:**
+
+- ✓ Used in line 6: "Communicate all responses in {communication_language}"
+- ✓ Properly used as agent instruction variable (not in template)
+
+**User Name:**
+
+- ✓ Used in line 169: "Communicate to {user_name} that story implementation is complete"
+- ✓ Appropriately used for personalization
+
+**Output Folder:**
+
+- ✓ Used multiple times for sprint-status.yaml file paths
+- ✓ All file operations target {output_folder} correctly
+- ✓ No hardcoded paths detected
+
+**Date:**
+
+- ✓ Available for agent use (system-generated)
+- ✓ Used appropriately in context of workflow execution
+
+### Additional Config Variables
+
+**IMPORTANT ISSUE:** The workflow uses additional variables that appear to come from config but are not explicitly documented:
+
+1. `{user_skill_level}` - Used to tailor communication style
+2. `{document_output_language}` - Used for document generation
+3. `{run_until_complete}` - Used for execution control
+4. `{run_tests_command}` - Used for test execution
+
+These should either be:
+
+- Added to workflow.yaml with proper config_source references, OR
+- Documented as optional config variables with defaults
+
+---
+
+## 4. Web Bundle Validation
+
+**Web Bundle Present:** No (Intentional)
+**Status:** EXPECTED ✓
+
+The workflow correctly sets `web_bundle: false`. This is the expected configuration for implementation workflows that:
+
+- Run locally in the development environment
+- Don't need to be bundled for web deployment
+- Are IDE-integrated workflows
+
+**No issues found** - This is the correct configuration for dev-story.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Bloat Detection
+
+**Bloat Percentage:** 11% (1 unused field / 9 total fields)
+**Cleanup Potential:** Low
+
+### Unused YAML Fields
+
+1. **context_path** (line 11 in workflow.yaml)
+   - Defined as: `"{config_source}:dev_ephemeral_location"`
+   - Never referenced in instructions.md
+   - Duplicates functionality of `story_dir` variable
+   - **Recommendation:** Remove this variable as `story_dir` serves the same purpose
+
+### Hardcoded Values
+
+No significant hardcoded values that should be variables were detected. The workflow properly uses variables for:
+
+- File paths ({output_folder}, {story_dir})
+- User personalization ({user_name})
+- Communication style ({communication_language}, {user_skill_level})
+
+### Calculation
+
+- Total yaml fields: 9 (excluding standard config and metadata)
+- Used fields: 8
+- Unused fields: 1 (context_path)
+- Bloat percentage: 11%
+
+**Status:** Acceptable (under 15% threshold)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Template Variable Mapping
+
+**Not Applicable** - This is an action workflow, not a document workflow.
+
+No template.md file exists, which is correct for action-type workflows.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Instructions Quality Analysis
+
+### Structure
+
+- ✓ Steps numbered sequentially (1, 1.5, 2-7)
+- ✓ Each step has clear goal attributes
+- ✓ Proper use of XML tags (<action>, <check>, <goto>, <anchor>, <output>)
+- ✓ Logical flow control with anchors and conditional checks
+- ✓ Repeat patterns used appropriately (step 2-5 loop)
+
+### Critical Tags
+
+- ✓ Critical blocks present and well-defined
+- ✓ Clear references to workflow execution engine
+- ✓ Workflow.yaml load requirement specified
+- ✓ Communication preferences documented
+
+### Variable Usage Consistency
+
+**ISSUE:** Inconsistent variable syntax found:
+
+1. Lines 4, 5 use `{project_root}` (underscore)
+2. Line 166 uses `{project-root}` (hyphen)
+
+**Recommendation:** Standardize to `{project-root}` throughout (hyphen is the standard in BMAD v6)
+
+### Step Quality
+
+**Excellent:**
+
+- Steps are focused and single-purpose
+- Clear HALT conditions defined
+- Comprehensive validation checks
+- Good error handling patterns
+- Iterative execution model well-structured
+
+**Areas for improvement:**
+
+- Step 1 is complex and could potentially be split
+- Some <action if="..."> conditionals could be clearer with <check> blocks
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Critical (Fix Immediately)
+
+None - No critical issues detected.
+
+### Important (Address Soon)
+
+1. **Document or Define Missing Variables**
+   - Add explicit definitions in workflow.yaml for: `user_skill_level`, `document_output_language`, `run_until_complete`, `run_tests_command`
+   - OR document these as optional config variables with defaults
+   - These variables are used in instructions but not defined in YAML
+   - **Impact:** Reduces clarity and may cause confusion about variable sources
+
+2. **Standardize project-root Variable Syntax**
+   - Change line 4 `{project_root}` to `{project-root}` (hyphen)
+   - Ensure consistency with BMAD v6 standard naming convention
+   - **Impact:** Maintains consistency with framework standards
+
+3. **Remove or Use context_path Variable**
+   - Variable `context_path` is defined but never used
+   - Since `story_dir` serves the same purpose, remove `context_path`
+   - OR if there's a semantic difference, document why both exist
+   - **Impact:** Reduces bloat and potential confusion
+
+### Cleanup (Nice to Have)
+
+1. **Consider Splitting Step 1**
+   - Step 1 handles both story discovery AND file loading
+   - Could be split into "1. Find Story" and "2. Load Story Files"
+   - Would improve clarity and maintainability
+   - **Impact:** Minor improvement to workflow structure
+
+2. **Add Variable Documentation Comment**
+   - Add a comment block in workflow.yaml listing all variables used by this workflow
+   - Include both explicit YAML variables and config-pulled variables
+   - Example format:
+     ```yaml
+     # Workflow-specific variables
+     # - story_file: Path to story markdown
+     # - story_dir: Directory containing stories
+     #
+     # Config-pulled variables (from bmm/config.yaml)
+     # - user_skill_level: User's technical skill level
+     # - document_output_language: Language for generated docs
+     ```
+   - **Impact:** Improves developer understanding and maintenance
+

+5. **Step Flow:** Excellent use of anchors, goto, and conditional checks for complex flow control
+
+### Workflow Purpose
+
+This workflow executes user stories by:
+
+- Finding ready-for-dev stories from sprint status
+- Implementing tasks and subtasks incrementally
+- Writing comprehensive tests
+- Validating against acceptance criteria
+- Updating story status through sprint lifecycle
+- Supporting different user skill levels with adaptive communication
+
+The workflow is a critical part of the BMM implementation phase and shows mature design patterns.
