-<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
-<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {installed_path}/workflow.yaml</critical>
-<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language} and language MUST be tailored to {user_skill_level}</critical>
-<critical>Generate all documents in {document_output_language}</critical>
-<critical>This is quick-flow efforts - tech-spec with context-rich story generation</critical>
-<critical>Quick Flow: tech-spec + epic with 1-5 stories (always generates epic structure)</critical>
-<critical>LIVING DOCUMENT: Write to tech-spec.md continuously as you discover - never wait until the end</critical>
-<critical>CONTEXT IS KING: Gather ALL available context before generating specs</critical>
-<critical>DOCUMENT OUTPUT: Technical, precise, definitive. Specific versions only. User skill level ({user_skill_level}) affects conversation style ONLY, not document content.</critical>
-<critical>Input documents specified in workflow.yaml input_file_patterns - workflow engine handles fuzzy matching, whole vs sharded document discovery automatically</critical>

-
-<action>Welcome {user_name} warmly and explain what we're about to do:
-
-"I'm going to gather all available context about your project before we dive into the technical spec. The following content has been auto-loaded:
-
-- Product briefs and research: {product_brief_content}, {research_content}
-- Brownfield codebase documentation: {document_project_content} (loaded via INDEX_GUIDED strategy)
-- Your project's tech stack and dependencies
-- Existing code patterns and structure
-
-This ensures the tech-spec is grounded in reality and gives developers everything they need."
-</action>
-
-<action>**PHASE 1: Load Existing Documents**
-
-Search for and load (using dual-strategy: whole first, then sharded):
-
-1. **Product Brief:**
-   - Search pattern: {output*folder}/\_brief*.md
-   - Sharded: {output*folder}/\_brief*/index.md
-   - If found: Load completely and extract key context
-
-2. **Research Documents:**
-   - Search pattern: {output*folder}/\_research*.md
-   - Sharded: {output*folder}/\_research*/index.md
-   - If found: Load completely and extract insights
-
-3. **Document-Project Output (CRITICAL for brownfield):**
-   - Always check: {output_folder}/docs/index.md
-   - If found: This is the brownfield codebase map - load ALL shards!
-   - Extract: File structure, key modules, existing patterns, naming conventions
-
-Create a summary of what was found and ask user if there are other documents or information to consider before proceeding:
-
-- List of loaded documents
-- Key insights from each
-- Brownfield vs greenfield determination
-  </action>
-
-<action>**PHASE 2: Intelligently Detect Project Stack**
-
-Use your comprehensive knowledge as a coding-capable LLM to analyze the project:
-
-**Discover Setup Files:**
-
-- Search {project-root} for dependency manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, Gemfile, go.mod, Cargo.toml, composer.json, pom.xml, build.gradle, pyproject.toml, etc.)
-- Adapt to ANY project type - you know the ecosystem conventions
-
-**Extract Critical Information:**
-
-1. Framework name and EXACT version (e.g., "React 18.2.0", "Django 4.2.1")
-2. All production dependencies with specific versions
-3. Dev tools and testing frameworks (Jest, pytest, ESLint, etc.)
-4. Available build/test scripts
-5. Project type (web app, API, CLI, library, etc.)
-
-**Assess Currency:**
-
-- Identify if major dependencies are outdated (>2 years old)
-- Use WebSearch to find current recommended versions if needed
-- Note migration complexity in your summary
-
-**For Greenfield Projects:**
-<check if="field_type == greenfield">
-<action>Use WebSearch to discover current best practices and official starter templates</action>
-<action>Recommend appropriate starters based on detected framework (or user's intended stack)</action>

-
-**Trust Your Intelligence:**
-You understand project ecosystems deeply. Adapt your analysis to any stack - don't be constrained by examples. Extract what matters for developers.

-Store comprehensive findings as {{project_stack_summary}}
-</action>
-
-<action>**PHASE 3: Brownfield Codebase Reconnaissance** (if applicable)
-
-<check if="field_type == brownfield OR document-project output found">
-
-Analyze the existing project structure:
-
-1. **Directory Structure:**
-   - Identify main code directories (src/, lib/, app/, components/, services/)
-   - Note organization patterns (feature-based, layer-based, domain-driven)
-   - Identify test directories and patterns
-
-2. **Code Patterns:**
-   - Look for dominant patterns (class-based, functional, MVC, microservices)
-   - Identify naming conventions (camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase)
-   - Note file organization patterns
-
-3. **Key Modules/Services:**
-   - Identify major modules or services already in place
-   - Note entry points (main.js, app.py, index.ts)
-   - Document important utilities or shared code
-
-4. **Testing Patterns & Standards (CRITICAL):**
-   - Identify test framework in use (from package.json/requirements.txt)
-   - Note test file naming patterns (.test.js, test.py, .spec.ts, Test.java)
-   - Document test organization (tests/, **tests**, spec/, test/)
-   - Look for test configuration files (jest.config.js, pytest.ini, .rspec)
-   - Check for coverage requirements (in CI config, test scripts)
-   - Identify mocking/stubbing libraries (jest.mock, unittest.mock, sinon)
-   - Note assertion styles (expect, assert, should)
-
-5. **Code Style & Conventions (MUST CONFORM):**
-   - Check for linter config (.eslintrc, .pylintrc, rubocop.yml)
-   - Check for formatter config (.prettierrc, .black, .editorconfig)
-   - Identify code style:
-     - Semicolons: yes/no (JavaScript/TypeScript)
-     - Quotes: single/double
-     - Indentation: spaces/tabs, size
-     - Line length limits
-   - Import/export patterns (named vs default, organization)
-   - Error handling patterns (try/catch, Result types, error classes)
-   - Logging patterns (console, winston, logging module, specific formats)
-   - Documentation style (JSDoc, docstrings, YARD, JavaDoc)
-
-Store this as {{existing_structure_summary}}

-<action>Engage {user_name} in natural, adaptive conversation to deeply understand what needs to be built.
-
-**Discovery Approach:**
-Adapt your questioning style to the complexity:
-
-- For single-story changes: Focus on the specific problem, location, and approach
-- For multi-story features: Explore user value, integration strategy, and scope boundaries
-
-**Core Discovery Goals (accomplish through natural dialogue):**
-
-1. **The Problem/Need**
-   - What user or technical problem are we solving?
-   - Why does this matter now?
-   - What's the impact if we don't do this?
-
-2. **The Solution Approach**
-   - What's the proposed solution?
-   - How should this work from a user/system perspective?
-   - What alternatives were considered?
-
-3. **Integration & Location**
-   - <check if="brownfield">Where does this fit in the existing codebase?</check>
-   - What existing code/patterns should we reference or follow?
-   - What are the integration points?
-
-4. **Scope Clarity**
-   - What's IN scope for this work?
-   - What's explicitly OUT of scope (future work, not needed)?
-   - If multiple stories: What's MVP vs enhancement?
-
-5. **Constraints & Dependencies**
-   - Technical limitations or requirements?
-   - Dependencies on other systems, APIs, or services?
-   - Performance, security, or compliance considerations?
-
-6. **Success Criteria**
-   - How will we know this is done correctly?
-   - What does "working" look like?
-   - What edge cases matter?
-
-**Conversation Style:**
-
-- Be warm and collaborative, not interrogative
-- Ask follow-up questions based on their responses
-- Help them think through implications
-- Reference context from Phase 1 (existing code, stack, patterns)
-- Adapt depth to {{story_count}} complexity

-**What Makes This Tech-Spec Special:**
-
-The tech-spec is comprehensive enough to serve as the primary context document:
-
-- ✨ Brownfield codebase analysis (if applicable)
-- ✨ Exact framework and library versions from your project
-- ✨ Existing patterns and code references
-- ✨ Specific file paths and integration points
-- ✨ Complete developer resources
-
-**Next Steps:**
-
-**🎯 Recommended Path - Direct to Development:**
-
-Since the tech-spec is CONTEXT-RICH, you can often skip story-context generation!
-
-{{#if story_count == 1}}
-**For Your Single Story:**
-
-1. Ask DEV agent to run `dev-story`
-   - Select story-{epic-slug}-1.md
-   - Tech-spec provides all the context needed!
-
-💡 **Optional:** Only run `story-context` (SM agent) if this is unusually complex
-{{else}}
-**For Your {{story_count}} Stories - Iterative Approach:**
-
-1. **Start with Story 1:**
-   - Ask DEV agent to run `dev-story`
-   - Select story-{epic-slug}-1.md
-   - Tech-spec provides context
-
-2. **After Story 1 Complete:**
-   - Repeat for story-{epic-slug}-2.md
-   - Continue through story {{story_count}}
-
-💡 **Alternative:** Use `sprint-planning` (SM agent) to organize all stories as a coordinated sprint
-
-💡 **Optional:** Run `story-context` (SM agent) for complex stories needing additional context
-{{/if}}
-
-**Your Tech-Spec:**
-
-- 📄 Saved to: `{output_folder}/tech-spec.md`
-- Epic & Stories: `{output_folder}/epics.md` + `{sprint_artifacts}/`
-- Contains: All context, decisions, patterns, and implementation guidance
-- Ready for: Direct development!
-
-The tech-spec is your single source of truth! 🚀
