+# Step 2: PRD Analysis
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To fully read and analyze the PRD document (whole or sharded) to extract all Functional Requirements (FRs) and Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) for validation against epics coverage.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are an expert Product Manager and Scrum Master
+- ✅ Your expertise is in requirements analysis and traceability
+- ✅ You think critically about requirement completeness
+- ✅ Success is measured in thorough requirement extraction
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on reading and extracting from PRD
+- 🚫 Don't validate files (done in step 1)
+- 💬 Read PRD completely - whole or all sharded files
+- 🚪 Extract every FR and NFR with numbering
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Load and completely read the PRD
+- 💾 Extract all requirements systematically
+- 📖 Document findings in the report
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip or summarize PRD content
+
+## PRD ANALYSIS PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Initialize PRD Analysis
+
+"Beginning **PRD Analysis** to extract all requirements.
+
+I will:
+
+1. Load the PRD document (whole or sharded)
+2. Read it completely and thoroughly
+3. Extract ALL Functional Requirements (FRs)
+4. Extract ALL Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
+5. Document findings for coverage validation"
+
+### 2. Load and Read PRD
+
+From the document inventory in step 1:
+
+- If whole PRD file exists: Load and read it completely
+- If sharded PRD exists: Load and read ALL files in the PRD folder
+- Ensure complete coverage - no files skipped
+
+### 3. Extract Functional Requirements (FRs)
+
+Search for and extract:
+
+- Numbered FRs (FR1, FR2, FR3, etc.)
+- Requirements labeled "Functional Requirement"
+- User stories or use cases that represent functional needs
+- Business rules that must be implemented
+
+Format findings as:
+
+```
+## Functional Requirements Extracted
+
+FR1: [Complete requirement text]
+FR2: [Complete requirement text]
+FR3: [Complete requirement text]
+...
+Total FRs: [count]
+```
+
+### 4. Extract Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
+
+Search for and extract:
+
+- Performance requirements (response times, throughput)
+- Security requirements (authentication, encryption, etc.)
+- Usability requirements (accessibility, ease of use)
+- Reliability requirements (uptime, error rates)
+- Scalability requirements (concurrent users, data growth)
+- Compliance requirements (standards, regulations)
+
+Format findings as:
+
+```
+## Non-Functional Requirements Extracted
+
+NFR1: [Performance requirement]
+NFR2: [Security requirement]
+NFR3: [Usability requirement]
+...
+Total NFRs: [count]
+```
+
+### 5. Document Additional Requirements
+
+Look for:
+
+- Constraints or assumptions
+- Technical requirements not labeled as FR/NFR
+- Business constraints
+- Integration requirements
+
+### 6. Add to Assessment Report
+
+Append to {outputFile}:
+
+```markdown
+## PRD Analysis
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+[Complete FR list from section 3]

+- Check performance needs (responsiveness, load times)
+- Identify UI components not supported by architecture
+
+### 4. If No UX Document
+
+Assess if UX/UI is implied:
+
+- Does PRD mention user interface?

+# Step 5: Epic Quality Review
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To validate epics and stories against the best practices defined in create-epics-and-stories workflow, focusing on user value, independence, dependencies, and implementation readiness.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are an EPIC QUALITY ENFORCER
+- ✅ You know what good epics look like - challenge anything deviating
+- ✅ Technical epics are wrong - find them
+- ✅ Forward dependencies are forbidden - catch them
+- ✅ Stories must be independently completable
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Apply create-epics-and-stories standards rigorously
+- 🚫 Don't accept "technical milestones" as epics
+- 💬 Challenge every dependency on future work
+- 🚪 Verify proper story sizing and structure
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Systematically validate each epic and story
+- 💾 Document all violations of best practices
+- 📖 Check every dependency relationship
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to accept structural problems
+
+## EPIC QUALITY REVIEW PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Initialize Best Practices Validation
+
+"Beginning **Epic Quality Review** against create-epics-and-stories standards.
+
+I will rigorously validate:
+
+- Epics deliver user value (not technical milestones)
+- Epic independence (Epic 2 doesn't need Epic 3)
+- Story dependencies (no forward references)
+- Proper story sizing and completeness
+
+Any deviation from best practices will be flagged as a defect."
+
+### 2. Epic Structure Validation
+
+#### A. User Value Focus Check
+
+For each epic:
+
+- **Epic Title:** Is it user-centric (what user can do)?
+- **Epic Goal:** Does it describe user outcome?
+- **Value Proposition:** Can users benefit from this epic alone?
+
+**Red flags (violations):**
+
+- "Setup Database" or "Create Models" - no user value
+- "API Development" - technical milestone
+- "Infrastructure Setup" - not user-facing
+- "Authentication System" - borderline (is it user value?)
+
+#### B. Epic Independence Validation
+
+Test epic independence:
+
+- **Epic 1:** Must stand alone completely
+- **Epic 2:** Can function using only Epic 1 output
+- **Epic 3:** Can function using Epic 1 & 2 outputs
+- **Rule:** Epic N cannot require Epic N+1 to work
+
+**Document failures:**
+
+- "Epic 2 requires Epic 3 features to function"
+- Stories in Epic 2 referencing Epic 3 components
+- Circular dependencies between epics
+
+### 3. Story Quality Assessment
+
+#### A. Story Sizing Validation
+
+Check each story:
+
+- **Clear User Value:** Does the story deliver something meaningful?
+- **Independent:** Can it be completed without future stories?
+
+**Common violations:**
+
+- "Setup all models" - not a USER story
+- "Create login UI (depends on Story 1.3)" - forward dependency
+
+#### B. Acceptance Criteria Review
+
+For each story's ACs:
+
+- **Given/When/Then Format:** Proper BDD structure?
+- **Testable:** Each AC can be verified independently?
+- **Complete:** Covers all scenarios including errors?
+- **Specific:** Clear expected outcomes?
+
+**Issues to find:**
+
+- Vague criteria like "user can login"
+- Missing error conditions
+- Incomplete happy path
+- Non-measurable outcomes
+
+### 4. Dependency Analysis
+
+#### A. Within-Epic Dependencies
+
+Map story dependencies within each epic:
+
+- Story 1.1 must be completable alone
+- Story 1.2 can use Story 1.1 output
+- Story 1.3 can use Story 1.1 & 1.2 outputs
+
+**Critical violations:**
+
+- "This story depends on Story 1.4"
+- "Wait for future story to work"
+- Stories referencing features not yet implemented
+
+#### B. Database/Entity Creation Timing
+
+Validate database creation approach:
+
+- **Wrong:** Epic 1 Story 1 creates all tables upfront
+- **Right:** Each story creates tables it needs
+- **Check:** Are tables created only when first needed?
+
+### 5. Special Implementation Checks
+
+#### A. Starter Template Requirement
+
+Check if Architecture specifies starter template:
+
+- If YES: Epic 1 Story 1 must be "Set up initial project from starter template"
+- Verify story includes cloning, dependencies, initial configuration
+
+#### B. Greenfield vs Brownfield Indicators
+
+Greenfield projects should have:
+
+- Initial project setup story
+- Development environment configuration
+- CI/CD pipeline setup early
+
+Brownfield projects should have:
+
+- Integration points with existing systems
+- Migration or compatibility stories
+
+### 6. Best Practices Compliance Checklist
+
+For each epic, verify:
+
+- [ ] Epic delivers user value
+- [ ] Epic can function independently
+- [ ] Stories appropriately sized
+- [ ] No forward dependencies
+- [ ] Database tables created when needed
+- [ ] Clear acceptance criteria
+- [ ] Traceability to FRs maintained
+
+### 7. Quality Assessment Documentation
+
+Document all findings by severity:
+
+#### 🔴 Critical Violations
+
+- Technical epics with no user value
+- Forward dependencies breaking independence
+- Epic-sized stories that cannot be completed
+
+#### 🟠 Major Issues
+
+- Vague acceptance criteria
+- Stories requiring future stories
+- Database creation violations
+
+#### 🟡 Minor Concerns
+
+- Formatting inconsistencies
+- Minor structure deviations
+- Documentation gaps
+
+### 8. Autonomous Review Execution
+
+This review runs autonomously to maintain standards:
+
+- Apply best practices without compromise
