+# Agent Compilation: YAML Source → Final Agent
+
+> **For the LLM running this workflow:** This document explains what the compiler adds. When building agents, focus on the YAML structure defined here—do NOT add things the compiler handles automatically.
+>
+> **Example reference:** Compare `{workflow_path}/data/reference/module-examples/architect.agent.yaml` (source, 32 lines) with `architect.md` (compiled, 69 lines) to see what the compiler adds.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Overview
+
+You write: **YAML source file** (`agent-name.agent.yaml`)
+Compiler produces: **Markdown with XML** (`agent-name.md`) for LLM consumption
+
+The compiler transforms your clean YAML into a fully functional agent by adding:
+- Frontmatter (name, description)
+- XML activation block with numbered steps
+- Menu handlers (workflow, exec, action)
+- Auto-injected menu items (MH, CH, PM, DA)
+- Rules section
+
+---
+
+## What YOU Provide (YAML Source)
+
+Your YAML contains ONLY these sections:
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    id: "_bmad/..."
+    name: "Persona Name"
+    title: "Agent Title"
+    icon: "🔧"
+    module: "stand-alone" or "bmm" or "cis" or "bmgd"
+
+  persona:
+    role: "First-person role description"
+    identity: "Background and specializations"
+    communication_style: "How the agent speaks"
+    principles:
+      - "Core belief or methodology"
+
+  critical_actions:              # Optional - for Expert agents only
+    - "Load ./sidecar/memories.md"
+    - "Load ./sidecar/instructions.md"
+    - "ONLY access ./sidecar/"
+
+  prompts:                        # Optional - for Simple/Expert agents
+    - id: prompt-name
+      content: |
+        <instructions>Prompt content</instructions>
+
+  menu:                           # Your custom items only
+    - trigger: XX or fuzzy match on command-name
+      workflow: "path/to/workflow.yaml"   # OR
+      exec: "path/to/file.md"             # OR
+      action: "#prompt-id"
+      description: "[XX] Command description"
+```
+
+---
+
+## What COMPILER Adds (DO NOT Include)
+
+### 1. Frontmatter
+```markdown
+---
+name: "architect"
+description: "Architect"
+---
+```
+**DO NOT add** frontmatter to your YAML.
+
+### 2. XML Activation Block
+```xml
+<activation critical="MANDATORY">
+  <step n="1">Load persona from this current agent file</step>
+  <step n="2">Load config to get {user_name}, {communication_language}</step>
+  <step n="3">Remember: user's name is {user_name}</step>
+  <!-- YOUR critical_actions inserted here as steps 4, 5, etc. -->
+  <step n="N">ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</step>
+  <step n="N+1">Show greeting + numbered menu</step>
+  <step n="N+2">STOP and WAIT for user input</step>
+  <step n="N+3">Input resolution rules</step>
+  <menu-handlers>...</menu-handlers>
+  <rules>...</rules>
+</activation>
+```
+**DO NOT create** activation sections—the compiler builds them.
+
+### 3. Auto-Injected Menu Items
+Every agent gets these 4 items automatically. **DO NOT add them to your YAML:**
+
+| Code | Trigger | Description |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| MH | menu or help | Redisplay Menu Help |
+| CH | chat | Chat with the Agent about anything |
+| PM | party-mode | Start Party Mode |
+| DA | exit, leave, goodbye, dismiss agent | Dismiss Agent |
+
+### 4. Menu Handlers
+```xml
+<handler type="workflow">
+  When menu item has: workflow="path/to/workflow.yaml"
+  → Load workflow.xml and execute with workflow-config parameter
+</handler>
+<handler type="exec">
+  When menu item has: exec="path/to/file.md"
+  → Load and execute the file at that path
+</handler>
+```
+**DO NOT add** handlers—the compiler detects and generates them.
+
+---
+
+## Before/After Example: Architect Agent
+
+### Source: `architect.agent.yaml` (32 lines - YOU WRITE)
+```yaml

+```
+**Key additions by compiler:** Frontmatter, activation block, handlers, rules, MH/CH/PM/DA menu items.
+
+---
+
+## DO NOT DO Checklist
+
+When building agent YAML, **DO NOT:**
+
+- [ ] Add frontmatter (`---name/description---`) to YAML
+- [ ] Create activation blocks or XML sections
+- [ ] Add MH (menu/help) menu item
+- [ ] Add CH (chat) menu item
+- [ ] Add PM (party-mode) menu item
+- [ ] Add DA (dismiss/exit) menu item
+- [ ] Add menu handlers (workflow/exec logic)
+- [ ] Add rules section
+- [ ] Duplicate any auto-injected content
+
+**DO:**
+- [ ] Define metadata (id, name, title, icon, module)
+- [ ] Define persona (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
+- [ ] Define critical_actions (Expert agents only)
+- [ ] Define prompts with IDs (Simple/Expert agents only)
+- [ ] Define menu with your custom items only
+- [ ] Use proper trigger format: `XX or fuzzy match on command-name`
+- [ ] Use proper description format: `[XX] Description text`
+
+---
+
+## Expert Agent: critical_actions
+
+For Expert agents with sidecars, your `critical_actions` become activation steps:
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - "Load COMPLETE file ./agent-sidecar/memories.md"
+  - "Load COMPLETE file ./agent-sidecar/instructions.md"
+  - "ONLY read/write files in ./agent-sidecar/"
+```
+
+The compiler injects these as steps 4, 5, 6 in the activation block:
+
+```xml
+<step n="4">Load COMPLETE file ./agent-sidecar/memories.md</step>
+<step n="5">Load COMPLETE file ./agent-sidecar/instructions.md</step>
+<step n="6">ONLY read/write files in ./agent-sidecar/</step>
+<step n="7">ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</step>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Division of Responsibilities
+
+| Aspect | YOU Provide (YAML) | COMPILER Adds |
+|--------|-------------------|---------------|
+| Agent identity | metadata + persona | Wrapped in XML |
+| Memory/actions | critical_actions | Inserted as activation steps |
+| Prompts | prompts with IDs | Referenced by menu actions |
+| Menu items | Your custom commands only | + MH, CH, PM, DA (auto) |
+| Activation | — | Full XML block with handlers |
+| Rules | — | Standardized rules section |
+| Frontmatter | — | name/description header |
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference for LLM
+
+- **Focus on:** Clean YAML structure, persona definition, custom menu items
+- **Ignore:** What happens after compilation—that's the compiler's job
+- **Remember:** Every agent gets MH, CH, PM, DA automatically—don't add them
+- **Expert agents:** Use `critical_actions` for sidecar file loading
+- **Module agents:** Use `workflow:` or `exec:` references, not inline actions

+# Agent Menu Patterns
+
+Technical reference for creating agent menu items in YAML.
+
+---
+
+## Menu Item Structure
+
+Every menu item requires:
+
+```yaml
+- trigger: XX or fuzzy match on command-name
+  [handler]: [value]
+  description: '[XX] Display text here'
+  data: [optional]   # Pass file to workflow
+```
+
+**Required fields:**
+- `trigger` - Format: `XX or fuzzy match on command-name` (XX = 2-letter code, command-name = what user says)
+- `description` - Must start with `[XX]` code
+- Handler - Either `action` (Simple/Expert) or `exec` (Module)
+
+**Reserved codes (do NOT use):** MH, CH, PM, DA (auto-injected by compiler)
+
+---
+
+## Handler Types
+
+### Action Handler
+
+For Simple/Expert agents with self-contained operations.
+
+```yaml
+# Reference prompt by ID
+- trigger: WC or fuzzy match on write-commit
+  action: '#write-commit'
+  description: '[WC] Write commit message'
+
+# Direct inline instruction
+- trigger: QC or fuzzy match on quick-commit
+  action: 'Generate commit message from diff'
+  description: '[QC] Quick commit from diff'
+```
+
+**When to use:** Simple/Expert agents. Use `#id` for complex multi-step prompts, inline text for simple operations.
+
+### Workflow Handler
+
+For module agents referencing external workflow files.
+
+```yaml
+- trigger: CP or fuzzy match on create-prd
+  exec: '{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/create-prd/workflow.md'
+  description: '[CP] Create Product Requirements Document'
+
+- trigger: GB or fuzzy match on brainstorm
+  exec: '{project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.md'
+  description: '[GB] Guided brainstorming session'
+
+# Planned but unimplemented
+- trigger: FF or fuzzy match on future-feature
+  exec: 'todo'
+  description: '[FF] Coming soon'
+```
+
+**When to use:** Module agents, multi-step workflows, complex processes. Use `exec: 'todo'` for unimplemented features.
+
+### Data Parameter (Optional)
+
+Add to ANY handler to pass files to the workflow/action.
+
+```yaml
+- trigger: TS or fuzzy match on team-standup
+  exec: '{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/tasks/team-standup.md'
+  data: '{project-root}/_bmad/_config/agent-manifest.csv'
+  description: '[TS] Run team standup'
+
+- trigger: AM or fuzzy match on analyze-metrics
+  action: 'Analyze these metrics for trends'
+  data: '{project-root}/_data/metrics.json'
+  description: '[AM] Analyze metrics'
+```
+
+**When to use:** Workflow needs input file, action processes external data.
+
+---
+
+## Prompts Section
+
+For Simple/Expert agents, define reusable prompts referenced by `action: '#id'`.
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: analyze-code
+    content: |
+      <instructions>Analyze code for patterns</instructions>
+      <process>1. Identify structure 2. Check issues 3. Suggest improvements</process>
+
+menu:
+  - trigger: AC or fuzzy match on analyze-code
+    action: '#analyze-code'
+    description: '[AC] Analyze code patterns'
+```
+
+**Common XML tags:** `<instructions>`, `<process>`, `<example>`, `<output_format>`
+
+---
+
+## Path Variables
+
+**Always use variables, never hardcoded paths:**
+
+```yaml
+# ✅ CORRECT
+exec: '{project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.md'
+data: '{project-root}/_data/metrics.csv'
+
+# ❌ WRONG
+exec: '../../../core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.md'
+```
+
+**Available variables:**
+- `{project-root}` - Project root directory
+- `{output_folder}` - Document output location
+- `{user_name}` - User's name from config
+- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
+
+**Expert Agent sidecar paths:**
+```yaml
+# Agent YAML referencing sidecar files
+action: 'Update {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/journal-keeper-sidecar/memories.md with insights'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Creation Thought Process
+
+When creating menu items, follow this sequence:
+
+1. **User capability** → "Check code for issues"
+2. **Choose code** → `LC` (Lint Code)
+3. **Write trigger** → `LC or fuzzy match on lint-code`
+4. **Choose handler** → `action` (inline is simple enough)
+5. **Write description** → `[LC] Lint code for issues`
+
+Result:
+```yaml
+- trigger: LC or fuzzy match on lint-code
+  action: 'Check code for common issues and anti-patterns'
+  description: '[LC] Lint code for issues'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Complete Examples
+
+### Simple Agent Menu
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: format-code
+    content: |
+      <instructions>Format code to style guidelines</instructions>
+      <process>1. Indentation 2. Spacing 3. Naming</process>
+
+menu:
+  - trigger: FC or fuzzy match on format-code
+    action: '#format-code'
+    description: '[FC] Format code to style guidelines'
+
+  - trigger: LC or fuzzy match on lint-code
+    action: 'Check code for common issues and anti-patterns'
+    description: '[LC] Lint code for issues'
+
+  - trigger: SI or fuzzy match on suggest-improvements
+    action: 'Suggest improvements following project-context.md guidelines'
+    description: '[SI] Suggest improvements'
+```
+
+### Expert Agent Menu
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/journal-keeper-sidecar/memories.md'
+  - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/journal-keeper-sidecar/instructions.md'
+  - 'ONLY read/write files in {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/journal-keeper-sidecar/'
+
+prompts:
+  - id: guided-entry
+    content: |
+      <instructions>Guide through journal entry</instructions>
+
+menu:
+  - trigger: WE or fuzzy match on write-entry
+    action: '#guided-entry'
+    description: '[WE] Write journal entry'
+
+  - trigger: QC or fuzzy match on quick-capture
+    action: 'Save entry to {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/journal-keeper-sidecar/entries/entry-{date}.md'
+    description: '[QC] Quick capture'
+
+  - trigger: SM or fuzzy match on save-memory
+    action: 'Update {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/journal-keeper-sidecar/memories.md with insights'
+    description: '[SM] Save session'
+```
+
+### Module Agent Menu
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: WI or fuzzy match on workflow-init
+    exec: '{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/workflow.md'
+    description: '[WI] Initialize workflow path'
+
+  - trigger: BS or fuzzy match on brainstorm
+    exec: '{project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.md'
+    description: '[BS] Guided brainstorming [K,T,A,B,C]'
+
+  - trigger: CP or fuzzy match on create-prd
+    exec: '{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/create-prd/workflow.md'
+    description: '[CP] Create PRD'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Patterns to Remember
+
+1. **Triggers always:** `XX or fuzzy match on command-name`
+2. **Descriptions always:** `[XX] Display text`
+3. **Reserved codes:** MH, CH, PM, DA (never use)
+4. **Codes must be:** Unique within each agent
+5. **Paths always:** `{project-root}` variable, never relative
+6. **Expert sidecars:** `{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/`
