-# Step 2: Format Detection & Structure Analysis
-
-## STEP GOAL:
-
-Detect if PRD follows BMAD format and route appropriately - classify as BMAD Standard / BMAD Variant / Non-Standard, with optional parity check for non-standard formats.
-
-## 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 a Validation Architect and Quality Assurance Specialist
-- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
-- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
-- ✅ You bring systematic validation expertise and pattern recognition
-- ✅ User brings domain knowledge and PRD context
-
-### Step-Specific Rules:
-
-- 🎯 Focus ONLY on detecting format and classifying structure
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to perform other validation checks in this step
-- 💬 Approach: Analytical and systematic, clear reporting of findings
-- 🚪 This is a branch step - may route to parity check for non-standard PRDs
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Analyze PRD structure systematically
-- 💾 Append format findings to validation report
-- 📖 Route appropriately based on format classification
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip format detection or proceed without classification
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Available context: PRD file loaded in step 1, validation report initialized
-- Focus: Format detection and classification only
-- Limits: Don't perform other validation, don't skip classification
-- Dependencies: Step 1 completed - PRD loaded and report initialized
-
-## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
-
-**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
-
-### 1. Extract PRD Structure
-
-Load the complete PRD file and extract:
-
-**All Level 2 (##) headers:**
-- Scan through entire PRD document
-- Extract all ## section headers
-- List them in order
-
-**PRD frontmatter:**
-- Extract classification.domain if present
-- Extract classification.projectType if present
-- Note any other relevant metadata
-
-### 2. Check for BMAD PRD Core Sections
-
-Check if the PRD contains the following BMAD PRD core sections:
-
-1. **Executive Summary** (or variations: ## Executive Summary, ## Overview, ## Introduction)
-2. **Success Criteria** (or: ## Success Criteria, ## Goals, ## Objectives)
-3. **Product Scope** (or: ## Product Scope, ## Scope, ## In Scope, ## Out of Scope)
-4. **User Journeys** (or: ## User Journeys, ## User Stories, ## User Flows)
-5. **Functional Requirements** (or: ## Functional Requirements, ## Features, ## Capabilities)
-6. **Non-Functional Requirements** (or: ## Non-Functional Requirements, ## NFRs, ## Quality Attributes)
-
-**Count matches:**
-- How many of these 6 core sections are present?
-- Which specific sections are present?
-- Which are missing?
-
-### 3. Classify PRD Format
-
-Based on core section count, classify:
-
-**BMAD Standard:**
-- 5-6 core sections present
-- Follows BMAD PRD structure closely
-
-**BMAD Variant:**
-- 3-4 core sections present
-- Generally follows BMAD patterns but may have structural differences
-- Missing some sections but recognizable as BMAD-style
-
-**Non-Standard:**
-- Fewer than 3 core sections present
-- Does not follow BMAD PRD structure
-- May be completely custom format, legacy format, or from another framework
-
-### 4. Report Format Findings to Validation Report
-
-Append to validation report:
-
-```markdown
-## Format Detection
-
-**PRD Structure:**
-[List all ## Level 2 headers found]
-
-**BMAD Core Sections Present:**
-- Executive Summary: [Present/Missing]
-- Success Criteria: [Present/Missing]
-- Product Scope: [Present/Missing]
-- User Journeys: [Present/Missing]
-- Functional Requirements: [Present/Missing]
-- Non-Functional Requirements: [Present/Missing]
-
-**Format Classification:** [BMAD Standard / BMAD Variant / Non-Standard]
-**Core Sections Present:** [count]/6
-```
-
-### 5. Route Based on Format Classification
-
-**IF format is BMAD Standard or BMAD Variant:**
-
-Display: "**Format Detected:** {classification}
-
-Proceeding to systematic validation checks..."
-
-Without delay, read fully and follow: {nextStepFile} (step-v-03-density-validation.md)
-
-**IF format is Non-Standard (< 3 core sections):**
-
-Display: "**Format Detected:** Non-Standard PRD
-
-This PRD does not follow BMAD standard structure (only {count}/6 core sections present).
-
-You have options:"
-
-Present MENU OPTIONS below for user selection
-
-### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS (Non-Standard PRDs Only)
-
-**[A] Parity Check** - Analyze gaps and estimate effort to reach BMAD PRD parity
-**[B] Validate As-Is** - Proceed with validation using current structure
-**[C] Exit** - Exit validation and review format findings
-
-#### EXECUTION RULES:
-
-- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input
-- Only proceed based on user selection
-
-#### Menu Handling Logic:
-
-- IF A (Parity Check): Read fully and follow: {altStepFile} (step-v-02b-parity-check.md)
-- IF B (Validate As-Is): Display "Proceeding with validation..." then read fully and follow: {nextStepFile}
-- IF C (Exit): Display format findings summary and exit validation
-- IF Any other: help user respond, then redisplay menu
-
----
-
-## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
-
-### ✅ SUCCESS:
-
-- All ## Level 2 headers extracted successfully
-- BMAD core sections checked systematically
-- Format classified correctly based on section count
-- Findings reported to validation report
-- BMAD Standard/Variant PRDs proceed directly to next validation step
-- Non-Standard PRDs pause and present options to user
-- User can choose parity check, validate as-is, or exit
-
-### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
-
-- Not extracting all headers before classification
-- Incorrect format classification
-- Not reporting findings to validation report
-- Not pausing for non-standard PRDs
-- Proceeding without user decision for non-standard formats
-
-**Master Rule:** Format detection determines validation path. Non-standard PRDs require user choice before proceeding.

-
-**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
-
-### 1. Analyze Each BMAD PRD Section
-
-For each of the 6 BMAD PRD core sections, analyze:
-
-**Executive Summary:**
-- Does PRD have vision/overview?
-- Is problem statement clear?
-- Are target users identified?
-- Gap: [What's missing or incomplete]
-
-**Success Criteria:**
-- Are measurable goals defined?
-- Is success clearly defined?
-- Gap: [What's missing or incomplete]
-
-**Product Scope:**
-- Is scope clearly defined?
-- Are in-scope items listed?
-- Are out-of-scope items listed?
-- Gap: [What's missing or incomplete]
-
-**User Journeys:**
-- Are user types/personas identified?
-- Are user flows documented?
-- Gap: [What's missing or incomplete]
-
-**Functional Requirements:**
-- Are features/capabilities listed?
-- Are requirements structured?
-- Gap: [What's missing or incomplete]
-
-**Non-Functional Requirements:**
-- Are quality attributes defined?
-- Are performance/security/etc. requirements documented?
-- Gap: [What's missing or incomplete]
-
-### 2. Estimate Effort to Reach Parity
-
-For each missing or incomplete section, estimate:
-
-**Effort Level:**
-- Minimal - Section exists but needs minor enhancements
-- Moderate - Section missing but content exists elsewhere in PRD
-- Significant - Section missing, requires new content creation
-
-**Total Parity Effort:**
-- Based on individual section estimates
-- Classify overall: Quick / Moderate / Substantial effort
-

-**Try to use Task tool to spawn a subprocess:**
-
-"Perform information density validation on this PRD:
-
-1. Load the PRD file
-2. Scan for the following anti-patterns:
-   - Conversational filler phrases (examples: 'The system will allow users to...', 'It is important to note that...', 'In order to')
-   - Wordy phrases (examples: 'Due to the fact that', 'In the event of', 'For the purpose of')
-   - Redundant phrases (examples: 'Future plans', 'Absolutely essential', 'Past history')
-3. Count violations by category with line numbers
-4. Classify severity: Critical (>10 violations), Warning (5-10), Pass (<5)
-
-Return structured findings with counts and examples."
-
-### 2. Graceful Degradation (if Task tool unavailable)
-
-If Task tool unavailable, perform analysis directly:
-
-**Scan for conversational filler patterns:**
-- "The system will allow users to..."
-- "It is important to note that..."
-- "In order to"
-- "For the purpose of"
-- "With regard to"
-- Count occurrences and note line numbers
-
-**Scan for wordy phrases:**
-- "Due to the fact that" (use "because")
-- "In the event of" (use "if")
-- "At this point in time" (use "now")
-- "In a manner that" (use "how")
-- Count occurrences and note line numbers
-
-**Scan for redundant phrases:**
-- "Future plans" (just "plans")
-- "Past history" (just "history")
-- "Absolutely essential" (just "essential")
-- "Completely finish" (just "finish")
-- Count occurrences and note line numbers
-
-### 3. Classify Severity
-
-**Calculate total violations:**
-- Conversational filler count
-- Wordy phrases count
-- Redundant phrases count
-- Total = sum of all categories
-
-**Determine severity:**
-- **Critical:** Total > 10 violations
-- **Warning:** Total 5-10 violations
-- **Pass:** Total < 5 violations
-
-### 4. Report Density Findings to Validation Report
