-# BMAD+ Workflow Markup Language (BWML) — Specification v1.0
-
-> **Pack:** Dev Studio
-> **Purpose:** Define the BMAD+ proprietary workflow DSL that surpasses BMAD-METHOD v6 XML format
-> **Created by:** Laurent Rochetta — https://github.com/lrochetta/BMAD-PLUS

-
-## Overview
-
-BWML (BMAD+ Workflow Markup Language) is an XML-based DSL optimized for LLM execution. It extends the concepts from BMAD-METHOD v6 with advanced orchestration primitives: multi-agent delegation, parallel execution, validation gates, memory persistence, anti-regression guards, and structured artifact emission.
-
-LLMs parse XML natively and reliably. BWML leverages this with semantically meaningful tags that guide deterministic execution while preserving LLM reasoning flexibility.

-## Core Elements (inherited from BMAD v6, enhanced)
-
-### `<workflow>` — Root container
-```xml
-<workflow id="dev-story" version="1.0" agent="oholiab">
-  <!-- All steps live here -->
-</workflow>
-```
-
-### `<phase>` — Named execution phase (NEW)
-Groups steps into logical phases with optional gating.
-```xml
-<phase name="analysis" gate="required">
-  <step>...</step>
-  <step>...</step>
-</phase>
-```
-- `gate="required"` — Must complete before next phase
-- `gate="optional"` — Can be skipped
-
-### `<step>` — Numbered execution step
-```xml
-<step n="1" goal="Load project context" tag="init">
-  <action>...</action>
-</step>
-```
-
-### `<action>` — Single action to execute
-```xml
-<action>Read the complete story file</action>
-<action if="no stories found">HALT: inform user</action>
-```
-
-### `<check>` — Conditional branch
-```xml
-<check if="sprint_status file exists">
-  <action>Load sprint data</action>
-</check>
-```
-
-### `<critical>` — Must-follow rule (violation = HALT)
-```xml
-<critical>Execute ALL steps in exact order; do NOT skip steps</critical>
-```
-
-### `<output>` — Formatted user-facing output
-```xml
-<output>✅ **Context Loaded** — Story and project context ready</output>
-```
-
-### `<ask>` — Prompt user for input
-```xml
-<ask>Which story would you like to develop?</ask>
-```
-
-### `<goto>` — Jump to step or anchor
-```xml
-<goto step="9">Completion sequence</goto>
-<goto anchor="task_check" />
-```
-
-### `<anchor>` — Jump target
-```xml
-<anchor id="task_check" />
-```
-
----
-
-## BMAD+ Extensions (NEW — our competitive advantage)
-
-### `<agent>` — Invoke another BMAD+ agent inline
-Enables cross-agent orchestration without leaving the workflow.
-```xml
-<agent name="bezalel" task="Review this architecture decision">
-  <context>Current PRD and technical constraints</context>
-  <expect>Architecture recommendation with trade-offs</expect>
-</agent>
-```
-- `name` — BMAD+ agent to invoke (specialist personas or pack agents)
-- `task` — What to ask the agent
-- `<context>` — What context to pass
-- `<expect>` — Expected output format
-
-### `<parallel>` — Execute multiple actions concurrently
-```xml
-<parallel>
-  <action>Run unit tests</action>
-  <action>Run linting checks</action>
-  <action>Validate acceptance criteria</action>
-</parallel>
-```
-
-### `<loop>` — Iterative execution with break conditions
-```xml
-<loop over="incomplete_tasks" as="task">
-  <action>Implement {{task}}</action>
-  <action>Run tests for {{task}}</action>
-  <validate>All tests pass for {{task}}</validate>
-  <action>Mark {{task}} complete</action>
-  <break if="HALT condition triggered" />
-</loop>
-```
-
-### `<validate>` — Built-in validation gate with pass/fail
-```xml
-<validate id="dod-check" severity="blocking">
-  <criterion>All tasks marked [x]</criterion>
-  <criterion>All acceptance criteria satisfied</criterion>
-  <criterion>Full test suite passes with 0 failures</criterion>
-  <criterion>No regressions detected</criterion>
-  <on-fail>HALT — Do NOT proceed until all criteria pass</on-fail>
-  <on-pass>Continue to next step</on-pass>
-</validate>
-```
-
-### `<guard>` — Anti-regression protection
-Prevents common AI mistakes explicitly.
-```xml
-<guard type="anti-regression">
-  Never delete existing code without explicit user approval
-</guard>
-<guard type="scope">
-  Only modify files listed in the story spec
-</guard>
-<guard type="quality">
-  Never mark a task complete without running tests
-</guard>
-```
-
-### `<emit>` — Produce structured artifacts
-```xml
-<emit type="story-status" format="yaml">
-  story_key: {{story_key}}
-  status: review
-  completed_tasks: {{completed_count}}
-  date: {{date}}
-</emit>
-```
-- `type` — Artifact type (story-status, report, checklist, etc.)
-- `format` — Output format (yaml, markdown, json)
-
-### `<context>` — Load external context
-```xml
-<context source="file" path="**/project-context.md" />
-<context source="file" path="architecture.md" optional="true" />
-<context source="memory" key="last-sprint-decisions" />
-```
-
-### `<memory>` — Persist/recall across sessions
-```xml
-<memory action="store" key="sprint-velocity" value="{{calculated_velocity}}" />
-<memory action="recall" key="last-review-findings" />
-```
-
-### `<escalate>` — Escalation to human or higher agent
-```xml
-<escalate to="user" severity="high">
-  Architecture decision required: monolith vs microservices.
-  Trade-offs documented in {{arch_doc_path}}.
-</escalate>
-<escalate to="bezalel" severity="medium">
-  Implementation diverges from architecture — review needed.
-</escalate>
-```
-
-### `<retry>` — Auto-retry with limits
-```xml
-<retry max="3" backoff="progressive">
-  <action>Run failing test suite</action>
-  <action>Fix identified issues</action>
-  <on-exhaust>HALT — 3 consecutive failures, request human guidance</on-exhaust>
-</retry>
-```
-
-### `<fallback>` — Graceful degradation
-```xml
-<fallback>
-  <try>
-    <agent name="miriam" task="Analyze market data" />
-  </try>
-  <catch>
-    <action>Perform analysis directly using available context</action>
-  </catch>
-</fallback>
-```
-
-### `<metric>` — Track quantitative progress
-```xml
-<metric name="test-coverage" target="80%" current="{{coverage}}" />
-<metric name="tasks-completed" value="{{done}}/{{total}}" />
-```
-
----
