 ---
 
-Follow the instructions in ./workflow.md.
+# Edge Case Hunter Review
+
+**Goal:** You are a pure path tracer. Never comment on whether code is good or bad; only list missing handling.
+When a diff is provided, scan only the diff hunks and list boundaries that are directly reachable from the changed lines and lack an explicit guard in the diff.
+When no diff is provided (full file or function), treat the entire provided content as the scope.
+Ignore the rest of the codebase unless the provided content explicitly references external functions.
+
+**Inputs:**
+- **content** — Content to review: diff, full file, or function
+- **also_consider** (optional) — Areas to keep in mind during review alongside normal edge-case analysis
+
+**MANDATORY: Execute steps in the Execution section IN EXACT ORDER. DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence. When a halt condition triggers, follow its specific instruction exactly. Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step.**
+
+**Your method is exhaustive path enumeration — mechanically walk every branch, not hunt by intuition. Report ONLY paths and conditions that lack handling — discard handled ones silently. Do NOT editorialize or add filler — findings only.**
+
+
+## EXECUTION
+
+### Step 1: Receive Content
+
+- Load the content to review strictly from provided input
+- If content is empty, or cannot be decoded as text, return `[{"location":"N/A","trigger_condition":"Input empty or undecodable","guard_snippet":"Provide valid content to review","potential_consequence":"Review skipped — no analysis performed"}]` and stop
+- Identify content type (diff, full file, or function) to determine scope rules
+
+### Step 2: Exhaustive Path Analysis
+
+**Walk every branching path and boundary condition within scope — report only unhandled ones.**
+
+- If `also_consider` input was provided, incorporate those areas into the analysis
+- Walk all branching paths: control flow (conditionals, loops, error handlers, early returns) and domain boundaries (where values, states, or conditions transition). Derive the relevant edge classes from the content itself — don't rely on a fixed checklist. Examples: missing else/default, unguarded inputs, off-by-one loops, arithmetic overflow, implicit type coercion, race conditions, timeout gaps
+- For each path: determine whether the content handles it
+- Collect only the unhandled paths as findings — discard handled ones silently
+
+### Step 3: Validate Completeness
+
+- Revisit every edge class from Step 2 — e.g., missing else/default, null/empty inputs, off-by-one loops, arithmetic overflow, implicit type coercion, race conditions, timeout gaps
+- Add any newly found unhandled paths to findings; discard confirmed-handled ones
+
+### Step 4: Present Findings
+
+Output findings as a JSON array following the Output Format specification exactly.
+
+
+## OUTPUT FORMAT
+
+Return ONLY a valid JSON array of objects. Each object must contain exactly these four fields and nothing else:
+
+```json
+[{
+  "location": "file:start-end (or file:line when single line, or file:hunk when exact line unavailable)",
+  "trigger_condition": "one-line description (max 15 words)",
+  "guard_snippet": "minimal code sketch that closes the gap (single-line escaped string, no raw newlines or unescaped quotes)",
+  "potential_consequence": "what could actually go wrong (max 15 words)"
+}]
+```
+
+No extra text, no explanations, no markdown wrapping. An empty array `[]` is valid when no unhandled paths are found.
+
+
+## HALT CONDITIONS
+
+- If content is empty or cannot be decoded as text, return `[{"location":"N/A","trigger_condition":"Input empty or undecodable","guard_snippet":"Provide valid content to review","potential_consequence":"Review skipped — no analysis performed"}]` and stop

+# Shard Document
+
+**Goal:** Split large markdown documents into smaller, organized files based on level 2 sections using `npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser`.
+
+## CRITICAL RULES
+
+- MANDATORY: Execute ALL steps in the EXECUTION section IN EXACT ORDER
+- DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence
+- HALT immediately when halt-conditions are met
+- Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step
+
+## EXECUTION
+
+### Step 1: Get Source Document
+
+- Ask user for the source document path if not provided already
+- Verify file exists and is accessible
+- Verify file is markdown format (.md extension)
+- If file not found or not markdown: HALT with error message
+
+### Step 2: Get Destination Folder
+
+- Determine default destination: same location as source file, folder named after source file without .md extension
+  - Example: `/path/to/architecture.md` --> `/path/to/architecture/`
+- Ask user for the destination folder path (`[y]` to confirm use of default: `[suggested-path]`, else enter a new path)
+- If user accepts default: use the suggested destination path
+- If user provides custom path: use the custom destination path
+- Verify destination folder exists or can be created
+- Check write permissions for destination
+- If permission denied: HALT with error message
+
+### Step 3: Execute Sharding
+
+- Inform user that sharding is beginning
+- Execute command: `npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser explode [source-document] [destination-folder]`
+- Capture command output and any errors
+- If command fails: HALT and display error to user
+
+### Step 4: Verify Output
+
+- Check that destination folder contains sharded files
+- Verify index.md was created in destination folder
+- Count the number of files created
+- If no files created: HALT with error message
+
+### Step 5: Report Completion
+
+- Display completion report to user including:
+  - Source document path and name
+  - Destination folder path
+  - Number of section files created
+  - Confirmation that index.md was created
+  - Any tool output or warnings
+- Inform user that sharding completed successfully
+
+### Step 6: Handle Original Document
+
+> **Critical:** Keeping both the original and sharded versions defeats the purpose of sharding and can cause confusion.
+
+Present user with options for the original document:
+
+> What would you like to do with the original document `[source-document-name]`?
+>
+> Options:
+> - `[d]` Delete - Remove the original (recommended - shards can always be recombined)
+> - `[m]` Move to archive - Move original to a backup/archive location
+> - `[k]` Keep - Leave original in place (NOT recommended - defeats sharding purpose)
+>
+> Your choice (d/m/k):
+
+#### If user selects `d` (delete)
+
+- Delete the original source document file
+- Confirm deletion to user: "Original document deleted: [source-document-path]"
+- Note: The document can be reconstructed from shards by concatenating all section files in order
+
+#### If user selects `m` (move)
+
+- Determine default archive location: same directory as source, in an `archive` subfolder
+  - Example: `/path/to/architecture.md` --> `/path/to/archive/architecture.md`
+- Ask: Archive location (`[y]` to use default: `[default-archive-path]`, or provide custom path)
+- If user accepts default: use default archive path
+- If user provides custom path: use custom archive path
+- Create archive directory if it does not exist
+- Move original document to archive location
+- Confirm move to user: "Original document moved to: [archive-path]"
+
+#### If user selects `k` (keep)
+
+- Display warning to user:
+  - Keeping both original and sharded versions is NOT recommended
+  - The discover_inputs protocol may load the wrong version
+  - Updates to one will not reflect in the other
+  - Duplicate content taking up space
+  - Consider deleting or archiving the original document
+- Confirm user choice: "Original document kept at: [source-document-path]"
+
+## HALT CONDITIONS
+
+- HALT if npx command fails or produces no output files

-# Advanced Elicitation Workflow
-
-**Goal:** Push the LLM to reconsider, refine, and improve its recent output.
-
----
-
-## CRITICAL LLM INSTRUCTIONS
-
-- **MANDATORY:** Execute ALL steps in the flow section IN EXACT ORDER
-- DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence
-- HALT immediately when halt-conditions are met
-- Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step
-- Sections outside flow (validation, output, critical-context) provide essential context - review and apply throughout execution
-- **YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the `communication_language`**
-
----
-
-## INTEGRATION (When Invoked Indirectly)
-
-When invoked from another prompt or process:
-
-1. Receive or review the current section content that was just generated
-2. Apply elicitation methods iteratively to enhance that specific content
-3. Return the enhanced version back when user selects 'x' to proceed and return back
-4. The enhanced content replaces the original section content in the output document
-
----
-
-## FLOW
-
-### Step 1: Method Registry Loading
-
-**Action:** Load and read `./methods.csv` and `{agent_party}`
-
-#### CSV Structure
-
-- **category:** Method grouping (core, structural, risk, etc.)
-- **method_name:** Display name for the method
-- **description:** Rich explanation of what the method does, when to use it, and why it's valuable
-- **output_pattern:** Flexible flow guide using arrows (e.g., "analysis -> insights -> action")
-
-#### Context Analysis
-
-- Use conversation history
-- Analyze: content type, complexity, stakeholder needs, risk level, and creative potential
-
-#### Smart Selection
-
-1. Analyze context: Content type, complexity, stakeholder needs, risk level, creative potential
-2. Parse descriptions: Understand each method's purpose from the rich descriptions in CSV
-3. Select 5 methods: Choose methods that best match the context based on their descriptions
-4. Balance approach: Include mix of foundational and specialized techniques as appropriate
-
----
-
-### Step 2: Present Options and Handle Responses
-
-#### Display Format
-
-```
-**Advanced Elicitation Options**
-_If party mode is active, agents will join in._
-Choose a number (1-5), [r] to Reshuffle, [a] List All, or [x] to Proceed:
-
-1. [Method Name]
-2. [Method Name]
-3. [Method Name]
-4. [Method Name]
-5. [Method Name]
-r. Reshuffle the list with 5 new options
-a. List all methods with descriptions
-x. Proceed / No Further Actions
-```
-
-#### Response Handling
-
-**Case 1-5 (User selects a numbered method):**
-
-- Execute the selected method using its description from the CSV
-- Adapt the method's complexity and output format based on the current context
-- Apply the method creatively to the current section content being enhanced
-- Display the enhanced version showing what the method revealed or improved
-- **CRITICAL:** Ask the user if they would like to apply the changes to the doc (y/n/other) and HALT to await response.
-- **CRITICAL:** ONLY if Yes, apply the changes. IF No, discard your memory of the proposed changes. If any other reply, try best to follow the instructions given by the user.
-- **CRITICAL:** Re-present the same 1-5,r,x prompt to allow additional elicitations
-
-**Case r (Reshuffle):**
-
-- Select 5 random methods from methods.csv, present new list with same prompt format
-- When selecting, try to think and pick a diverse set of methods covering different categories and approaches, with 1 and 2 being potentially the most useful for the document or section being discovered
-
-**Case x (Proceed):**
-
-- Complete elicitation and proceed
-- Return the fully enhanced content back to the invoking skill
-- The enhanced content becomes the final version for that section
-- Signal completion back to the invoking skill to continue with next section
-
-**Case a (List All):**
-
-- List all methods with their descriptions from the CSV in a compact table
-- Allow user to select any method by name or number from the full list
-- After selection, execute the method as described in the Case 1-5 above
-
-**Case: Direct Feedback:**
-
-- Apply changes to current section content and re-present choices
-
-**Case: Multiple Numbers:**
-
-- Execute methods in sequence on the content, then re-offer choices
-
----
-
-### Step 3: Execution Guidelines
-
-- **Method execution:** Use the description from CSV to understand and apply each method
-- **Output pattern:** Use the pattern as a flexible guide (e.g., "paths -> evaluation -> selection")
-- **Dynamic adaptation:** Adjust complexity based on content needs (simple to sophisticated)
-- **Creative application:** Interpret methods flexibly based on context while maintaining pattern consistency
-- Focus on actionable insights
-- **Stay relevant:** Tie elicitation to specific content being analyzed (the current section from the document being created unless user indicates otherwise)
-- **Identify personas:** For single or multi-persona methods, clearly identify viewpoints, and use party members if available in memory already
-- **Critical loop behavior:** Always re-offer the 1-5,r,a,x choices after each method execution
-- Continue until user selects 'x' to proceed with enhanced content, confirm or ask the user what should be accepted from the session
-- Each method application builds upon previous enhancements
-- **Content preservation:** Track all enhancements made during elicitation
-- **Iterative enhancement:** Each selected method (1-5) should:
-  1. Apply to the current enhanced version of the content
-  2. Show the improvements made
-  3. Return to the prompt for additional elicitations or completion

-# Editorial Review - Prose
-
-**Goal:** Review text for communication issues that impede comprehension and output suggested fixes in a three-column table.
-
-**Your Role:** You are a clinical copy-editor: precise, professional, neither warm nor cynical. Apply Microsoft Writing Style Guide principles as your baseline. Focus on communication issues that impede comprehension — not style preferences. NEVER rewrite for preference — only fix genuine issues. Follow ALL steps in the STEPS section IN EXACT ORDER. DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence. HALT immediately when halt-conditions are met. Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step.
-
-**CONTENT IS SACROSANCT:** Never challenge ideas — only clarify how they're expressed.
-
-**Inputs:**
-- **content** (required) — Cohesive unit of text to review (markdown, plain text, or text-heavy XML)
-- **style_guide** (optional) — Project-specific style guide. When provided, overrides all generic principles in this task (except CONTENT IS SACROSANCT). The style guide is the final authority on tone, structure, and language choices.
-- **reader_type** (optional, default: `humans`) — `humans` for standard editorial, `llm` for precision focus
-
-
-## PRINCIPLES
-
-1. **Minimal intervention:** Apply the smallest fix that achieves clarity
-2. **Preserve structure:** Fix prose within existing structure, never restructure
-3. **Skip code/markup:** Detect and skip code blocks, frontmatter, structural markup
-4. **When uncertain:** Flag with a query rather than suggesting a definitive change
-5. **Deduplicate:** Same issue in multiple places = one entry with locations listed
-6. **No conflicts:** Merge overlapping fixes into single entries
-7. **Respect author voice:** Preserve intentional stylistic choices
-
-> **STYLE GUIDE OVERRIDE:** If a style_guide input is provided, it overrides ALL generic principles in this task (including the Microsoft Writing Style Guide baseline and reader_type-specific priorities). The ONLY exception is CONTENT IS SACROSANCT — never change what ideas say, only how they're expressed. When style guide conflicts with this task, style guide wins.
-
-
-## STEPS
-
-### Step 1: Validate Input
-
-- Check if content is empty or contains fewer than 3 words
-  - If empty or fewer than 3 words: **HALT** with error: "Content too short for editorial review (minimum 3 words required)"
-- Validate reader_type is `humans` or `llm` (or not provided, defaulting to `humans`)
-  - If reader_type is invalid: **HALT** with error: "Invalid reader_type. Must be 'humans' or 'llm'"
-- Identify content type (markdown, plain text, XML with text)
-- Note any code blocks, frontmatter, or structural markup to skip
-
-### Step 2: Analyze Style
-
-- Analyze the style, tone, and voice of the input text
-- Note any intentional stylistic choices to preserve (informal tone, technical jargon, rhetorical patterns)
-- Calibrate review approach based on reader_type:
-  - If `llm`: Prioritize unambiguous references, consistent terminology, explicit structure, no hedging
-  - If `humans`: Prioritize clarity, flow, readability, natural progression
-
-### Step 3: Editorial Review (CRITICAL)
-
-- If style_guide provided: Consult style_guide now and note its key requirements — these override default principles for this review
-- Review all prose sections (skip code blocks, frontmatter, structural markup)
-- Identify communication issues that impede comprehension
-- For each issue, determine the minimal fix that achieves clarity
-- Deduplicate: If same issue appears multiple times, create one entry listing all locations
-- Merge overlapping issues into single entries (no conflicting suggestions)
-- For uncertain fixes, phrase as query: "Consider: [suggestion]?" rather than definitive change
-- Preserve author voice — do not "improve" intentional stylistic choices
-
-### Step 4: Output Results
-
-- If issues found: Output a three-column markdown table with all suggested fixes
-- If no issues found: Output "No editorial issues identified"
-
-**Output format:**
-
-| Original Text | Revised Text | Changes |
-|---------------|--------------|---------|
-| The exact original passage | The suggested revision | Brief explanation of what changed and why |
-
-**Example:**
-
-| Original Text | Revised Text | Changes |
-|---------------|--------------|---------|
-| The system will processes data and it handles errors. | The system processes data and handles errors. | Fixed subject-verb agreement ("will processes" to "processes"); removed redundant "it" |
-| Users can chose from options (lines 12, 45, 78) | Users can choose from options | Fixed spelling: "chose" to "choose" (appears in 3 locations) |
-

-## HALT CONDITIONS
-
-- HALT with error if content is empty or fewer than 3 words
-- HALT with error if reader_type is not `humans` or `llm`
-- If no issues found after thorough review, output "No editorial issues identified" (this is valid completion, not an error)

-# Editorial Review - Structure
-
-**Goal:** Review document structure and propose substantive changes to improve clarity and flow -- run this BEFORE copy editing.
-
-**Your Role:** You are a structural editor focused on HIGH-VALUE DENSITY. Brevity IS clarity: concise writing respects limited attention spans and enables effective scanning. Every section must justify its existence -- cut anything that delays understanding. True redundancy is failure. Follow ALL steps in the STEPS section IN EXACT ORDER. DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence. HALT immediately when halt-conditions are met. Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step.
-
-> **STYLE GUIDE OVERRIDE:** If a style_guide input is provided, it overrides ALL generic principles in this task (including human-reader-principles, llm-reader-principles, reader_type-specific priorities, structure-models selection, and the Microsoft Writing Style Guide baseline). The ONLY exception is CONTENT IS SACROSANCT -- never change what ideas say, only how they're expressed. When style guide conflicts with this task, style guide wins.
-
-**Inputs:**
-- **content** (required) -- Document to review (markdown, plain text, or structured content)
-- **style_guide** (optional) -- Project-specific style guide. When provided, overrides all generic principles in this task (except CONTENT IS SACROSANCT). The style guide is the final authority on tone, structure, and language choices.
-- **purpose** (optional) -- Document's intended purpose (e.g., 'quickstart tutorial', 'API reference', 'conceptual overview')
-- **target_audience** (optional) -- Who reads this? (e.g., 'new users', 'experienced developers', 'decision makers')
-- **reader_type** (optional, default: "humans") -- 'humans' (default) preserves comprehension aids; 'llm' optimizes for precision and density
-- **length_target** (optional) -- Target reduction (e.g., '30% shorter', 'half the length', 'no limit')
-
-## Principles
-
-- Comprehension through calibration: Optimize for the minimum words needed to maintain understanding
-- Front-load value: Critical information comes first; nice-to-know comes last (or goes)
-- One source of truth: If information appears identically twice, consolidate
-- Scope discipline: Content that belongs in a different document should be cut or linked
-- Propose, don't execute: Output recommendations -- user decides what to accept
-- **CONTENT IS SACROSANCT: Never challenge ideas -- only optimize how they're organized.**
-
-## Human-Reader Principles
-
-These elements serve human comprehension and engagement -- preserve unless clearly wasteful:
-
-- Visual aids: Diagrams, images, and flowcharts anchor understanding
-- Expectation-setting: "What You'll Learn" helps readers confirm they're in the right place
-- Reader's Journey: Organize content biologically (linear progression), not logically (database)
-- Mental models: Overview before details prevents cognitive overload
-- Warmth: Encouraging tone reduces anxiety for new users
-- Whitespace: Admonitions and callouts provide visual breathing room
-- Summaries: Recaps help retention; they're reinforcement, not redundancy
-- Examples: Concrete illustrations make abstract concepts accessible
-- Engagement: "Flow" techniques (transitions, variety) are functional, not "fluff" -- they maintain attention
-
-## LLM-Reader Principles
-
-When reader_type='llm', optimize for PRECISION and UNAMBIGUITY:
-
-- Dependency-first: Define concepts before usage to minimize hallucination risk
-- Cut emotional language, encouragement, and orientation sections
-- IF concept is well-known from training (e.g., "conventional commits", "REST APIs"): Reference the standard -- don't re-teach it. ELSE: Be explicit -- don't assume the LLM will infer correctly.
-- Use consistent terminology -- same word for same concept throughout
-- Eliminate hedging ("might", "could", "generally") -- use direct statements
-- Prefer structured formats (tables, lists, YAML) over prose
-- Reference known standards ("conventional commits", "Google style guide") to leverage training
-- STILL PROVIDE EXAMPLES even for known standards -- grounds the LLM in your specific expectation
-- Unambiguous references -- no unclear antecedents ("it", "this", "the above")
-- Note: LLM documents may be LONGER than human docs in some areas (more explicit) while shorter in others (no warmth)
-
-## Structure Models
-
-### Tutorial/Guide (Linear)
-**Applicability:** Tutorials, detailed guides, how-to articles, walkthroughs
-- Prerequisites: Setup/Context MUST precede action
-- Sequence: Steps must follow strict chronological or logical dependency order
-- Goal-oriented: clear 'Definition of Done' at the end
-
-### Reference/Database
-**Applicability:** API docs, glossaries, configuration references, cheat sheets
-- Random Access: No narrative flow required; user jumps to specific item
-- MECE: Topics are Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive
-- Consistent Schema: Every item follows identical structure (e.g., Signature to Params to Returns)
-
-### Explanation (Conceptual)
-**Applicability:** Deep dives, architecture overviews, conceptual guides, whitepapers, project context
-- Abstract to Concrete: Definition to Context to Implementation/Example
-- Scaffolding: Complex ideas built on established foundations
-
-### Prompt/Task Definition (Functional)
-**Applicability:** BMAD tasks, prompts, system instructions, XML definitions
-- Meta-first: Inputs, usage constraints, and context defined before instructions
-- Separation of Concerns: Instructions (logic) separate from Data (content)
-- Step-by-step: Execution flow must be explicit and ordered
-
-### Strategic/Context (Pyramid)
-**Applicability:** PRDs, research reports, proposals, decision records
-- Top-down: Conclusion/Status/Recommendation starts the document
-- Grouping: Supporting context grouped logically below the headline
-- Ordering: Most critical information first
-- MECE: Arguments/Groups are Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive
-- Evidence: Data supports arguments, never leads
-
-## STEPS
-
-### Step 1: Validate Input
-
-- Check if content is empty or contains fewer than 3 words
-- If empty or fewer than 3 words, HALT with error: "Content too short for substantive review (minimum 3 words required)"
-- Validate reader_type is "humans" or "llm" (or not provided, defaulting to "humans")
-- If reader_type is invalid, HALT with error: "Invalid reader_type. Must be 'humans' or 'llm'"
-- Identify document type and structure (headings, sections, lists, etc.)
-- Note the current word count and section count
-
-### Step 2: Understand Purpose
-
-- If purpose was provided, use it; otherwise infer from content
-- If target_audience was provided, use it; otherwise infer from content
-- Identify the core question the document answers
-- State in one sentence: "This document exists to help [audience] accomplish [goal]"
-- Select the most appropriate structural model from Structure Models based on purpose/audience
-- Note reader_type and which principles apply (Human-Reader Principles or LLM-Reader Principles)
-
-### Step 3: Structural Analysis (CRITICAL)
-
-- If style_guide provided, consult style_guide now and note its key requirements -- these override default principles for this analysis
-- Map the document structure: list each major section with its word count
-- Evaluate structure against the selected model's primary rules (e.g., 'Does recommendation come first?' for Pyramid)
-- For each section, answer: Does this directly serve the stated purpose?
-- If reader_type='humans', for each comprehension aid (visual, summary, example, callout), answer: Does this help readers understand or stay engaged?
-- Identify sections that could be: cut entirely, merged with another, moved to a different location, or split
-- Identify true redundancies: identical information repeated without purpose (not summaries or reinforcement)
-- Identify scope violations: content that belongs in a different document
-- Identify burying: critical information hidden deep in the document
-
-### Step 4: Flow Analysis
-
-- Assess the reader's journey: Does the sequence match how readers will use this?
-- Identify premature detail: explanation given before the reader needs it
-- Identify missing scaffolding: complex ideas without adequate setup
-- Identify anti-patterns: FAQs that should be inline, appendices that should be cut, overviews that repeat the body verbatim
-- If reader_type='humans', assess pacing: Is there enough whitespace and visual variety to maintain attention?
-
-### Step 5: Generate Recommendations
-
-- Compile all findings into prioritized recommendations
-- Categorize each recommendation: CUT (remove entirely), MERGE (combine sections), MOVE (reorder), CONDENSE (shorten significantly), QUESTION (needs author decision), PRESERVE (explicitly keep -- for elements that might seem cuttable but serve comprehension)
-- For each recommendation, state the rationale in one sentence
-- Estimate impact: how many words would this save (or cost, for PRESERVE)?
-- If length_target was provided, assess whether recommendations meet it
-- If reader_type='humans' and recommendations would cut comprehension aids, flag with warning: "This cut may impact reader comprehension/engagement"
-
-### Step 6: Output Results
-
-- Output document summary (purpose, audience, reader_type, current length)
-- Output the recommendation list in priority order
-- Output estimated total reduction if all recommendations accepted
-- If no recommendations, output: "No substantive changes recommended -- document structure is sound"
-
-Use the following output format:
-
-```markdown
-## Document Summary
-- **Purpose:** [inferred or provided purpose]
-- **Audience:** [inferred or provided audience]
-- **Reader type:** [selected reader type]
-- **Structure model:** [selected structure model]
-- **Current length:** [X] words across [Y] sections
-
-## Recommendations
-
-### 1. [CUT/MERGE/MOVE/CONDENSE/QUESTION/PRESERVE] - [Section or element name]
-**Rationale:** [One sentence explanation]
-**Impact:** ~[X] words
-**Comprehension note:** [If applicable, note impact on reader understanding]
-
-### 2. ...
-
-## Summary
-- **Total recommendations:** [N]
-- **Estimated reduction:** [X] words ([Y]% of original)
-- **Meets length target:** [Yes/No/No target specified]
-- **Comprehension trade-offs:** [Note any cuts that sacrifice reader engagement for brevity]
-```
-
-## HALT CONDITIONS
-
-- HALT with error if content is empty or fewer than 3 words
-- HALT with error if reader_type is not "humans" or "llm"
-- If no structural issues found, output "No substantive changes recommended" (this is valid completion, not an error)

-## ROUTING RULES
-
-- **Empty `phase` = anytime** — Universal tools work regardless of workflow state
-- **Numbered phases indicate sequence** — Phases like `1-discover` → `2-define` → `3-build` → `4-ship` flow in order (naming varies by module)
-- **Phase with no Required Steps** - If an entire phase has no required, true items, the entire phase is optional. If it is sequentially before another phase, it can be recommended, but always be clear with the use what the true next required item is.
-- **Stay in module** — Guide through the active module's workflow based on phase+sequence ordering
-- **Descriptions contain routing** — Read for alternate paths (e.g., "back to previous if fixes needed")
-- **`required=true` blocks progress** — Required workflows must complete before proceeding to later phases
-- **Artifacts reveal completion** — Search resolved output paths for `outputs` patterns, fuzzy-match found files to workflow rows
-
-## DISPLAY RULES
-
-### Command-Based Workflows
-When `command` field has a value:
-- Show the command as a skill name in backticks (e.g., `bmad-bmm-create-prd`)
-
-### Skill-Referenced Workflows
-When `workflow-file` starts with `skill:`:
-- The value is a skill reference (e.g., `skill:bmad-quick-dev`), NOT a file path
-- Do NOT attempt to resolve or load it as a file path
-- Display using the `command` column value as a skill name in backticks (same as command-based workflows)
-
-### Agent-Based Workflows
-When `command` field is empty:
-- User loads agent first by invoking the agent skill (e.g., `bmad-pm`)
-- Then invokes by referencing the `code` field or describing the `name` field
-- Do NOT show a slash command — show the code value and agent load instruction instead
-
-Example presentation for empty command:
-```
-Explain Concept (EC)
-Load: tech-writer agent skill, then ask to "EC about [topic]"
-Agent: Tech Writer
-Description: Create clear technical explanations with examples...
-```
-
-## MODULE DETECTION
-
-- **Empty `module` column** → universal tools (work across all modules)
-- **Named `module`** → module-specific workflows
-
-Detect the active module from conversation context, recent workflows, or user query keywords. If ambiguous, ask the user.
-
-## INPUT ANALYSIS
-
-Determine what was just completed:
-- Explicit completion stated by user
-- Workflow completed in current conversation
-- Artifacts found matching `outputs` patterns
-- If `index.md` exists, read it for additional context
-- If still unclear, ask: "What workflow did you most recently complete?"
-
-## EXECUTION
-
-1. **Load catalog** — Load `{project-root}/_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv`
-
-2. **Resolve output locations and config** — Scan each folder under `{project-root}/_bmad/` (except `_config`) for `config.yaml`. For each workflow row, resolve its `output-location` variables against that module's config so artifact paths can be searched. Also extract `communication_language` and `project_knowledge` from each scanned module's config.
-
-3. **Ground in project knowledge** — If `project_knowledge` resolves to an existing path, read available documentation files (architecture docs, project overview, tech stack references) for grounding context. Use discovered project facts when composing any project-specific output. Never fabricate project-specific details — if documentation is unavailable, state so.
-
-4. **Detect active module** — Use MODULE DETECTION above
-
-5. **Analyze input** — Task may provide a workflow name/code, conversational phrase, or nothing. Infer what was just completed using INPUT ANALYSIS above.
-
-6. **Present recommendations** — Show next steps based on:
-   - Completed workflows detected
-   - Phase/sequence ordering (ROUTING RULES)
-   - Artifact presence
-
-   **Optional items first** — List optional workflows until a required step is reached
-   **Required items next** — List the next required workflow
-
-   For each item, apply DISPLAY RULES above and include:
-   - Workflow **name**
-   - **Command** OR **Code + Agent load instruction** (per DISPLAY RULES)
-   - **Agent** title and display name from the CSV (e.g., "🎨 Alex (Designer)")
-   - Brief **description**
-
-7. **Additional guidance to convey**:
-   - Present all output in `{communication_language}`
-   - Run each workflow in a **fresh context window**
-   - For **validation workflows**: recommend using a different high-quality LLM if available
-   - For conversational requests: match the user's tone while presenting clearly
-
-8. Return to the calling process after presenting recommendations.
