-# Simple Agent Architecture
-
-Self-contained agents in a single YAML file. No external dependencies, no persistent memory.
-
----
-
-## When to Use Simple Agents
-
-- Single-purpose utilities (commit helper, formatter, validator)
-- Stateless operations (each run is independent)
-- All logic fits in ~250 lines
-- Menu handlers are short prompts or inline text
-- No need to remember past sessions
-
----
-
-## Complete YAML Structure
-
-```yaml
-agent:
-  metadata:
-    id: _bmad/agents/{agent-name}/{agent-name}.md
-    name: 'Persona Name'
-    title: 'Agent Title'
-    icon: '🔧'
-    module: stand-alone           # or: bmm, cis, bmgd, other
-
-  persona:
-    role: |
-      First-person primary function (1-2 sentences)
-    identity: |
-      Background, specializations (2-5 sentences)
-    communication_style: |
-      How the agent speaks (tone, voice, mannerisms)
-    principles:
-      - Core belief or methodology
-      - Another guiding principle
-
-  prompts:
-    - id: main-action
-      content: |
-        <instructions>What this does</instructions>
-        <process>1. Step one 2. Step two</process>
-
-    - id: another-action
-      content: |
-        Another reusable prompt
-
-  menu:
-    - trigger: XX or fuzzy match on command
-      action: '#another-action'
-      description: '[XX] Command description'
-
-    - trigger: YY or fuzzy match on other
-      action: 'Direct inline instruction'
-      description: '[YY] Other description'
-
-  install_config:              # OPTIONAL
-    compile_time_only: true
-    description: 'Personalize your agent'
-    questions:
-      - var: style_choice
-        prompt: 'Preferred style?'
-        type: choice
-        options:
-          - label: 'Professional'
-            value: 'professional'
-          - label: 'Casual'
-            value: 'casual'
-        default: 'professional'
-```

-## Component Details
-
-### Metadata
-
-| Field | Purpose | Example |
-|-------|---------|---------|
-| `id` | Compiled path | `_bmad/agents/commit-poet/commit-poet.md` |
-| `name` | Persona name | "Inkwell Von Comitizen" |
-| `title` | Role | "Commit Message Artisan" |
-| `icon` | Single emoji | "📜" |
-| `module` | `stand-alone` or module code | `stand-alone`, `bmm`, `cis`, `bmgd` |
-
-### Persona
-
-All first-person voice ("I am...", "I do..."):
-
-```yaml
-role: "I am a Commit Message Artisan..."
-identity: "I understand commit messages are documentation..."
-communication_style: "Poetic drama with flair..."
-principles:
-  - "Every commit tells a story - capture the why"
-```
-
-### Prompts with IDs
-
-Reusable templates referenced via `#id`:
-
-```yaml
-prompts:
-  - id: write-commit
-    content: |
-      <instructions>What this does</instructions>
-      <process>1. Step 2. Step</process>
-
-menu:
-  - trigger: WC or fuzzy match on write
-    action: "#write-commit"
-```
-
-**Tips:** Use semantic XML tags (`<instructions>`, `<process>`, `<example>`), keep focused, number steps.
-
-### Menu Actions
-
-Two forms:
-
-1. **Prompt reference:** `action: "#prompt-id"`
-2. **Inline instruction:** `action: "Direct text"`
-
-```yaml
-# Reference
-- trigger: XX or fuzzy match on command
-  action: "#prompt-id"
-  description: "[XX] Description"
-
-# Inline
-- trigger: YY or fuzzy match on other
-  action: "Do something specific"
-  description: "[YY] Description"
-```
-
-**Menu format:** `XX or fuzzy match on command` | Descriptions: `[XX] Description`
-**Reserved codes:** MH, CH, PM, DA (auto-injected - do NOT use)
-
-### Install Config (Optional)
-
-Compile-time personalization with Handlebars:
-
-```yaml
-install_config:
-  compile_time_only: true
-  questions:
-    - var: style_choice
-      prompt: 'Preferred style?'
-      type: choice
-      options: [...]
-      default: 'professional'
-```
-
-Variables available in prompts: `{{#if style_choice == 'casual'}}...{{/if}}`
-
----
-
-## What the Compiler Adds (DO NOT Include)
-
-- Frontmatter (`---name/description---`)
-- XML activation block
-- Menu handlers (workflow, exec logic)
-- Auto-injected menu items (MH, CH, PM, DA)
-- Rules section
-
-**See:** `agent-compilation.md` for details.
-
----
-
-## Reference Example
-
-**File:** `{workflow_path}/data/reference/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
-
-**Features:** Poetic persona, 4 prompts, 7 menu items, proper `[XX]` codes
-
-**Line count:** 127 lines (within ~250 line guideline)
-
----

-# Simple Agent Validation Checklist
-
-Validate Simple agents meet BMAD quality standards.
-
----
-
-## YAML Structure
-
-- [ ] YAML parses without errors
-- [ ] `agent.metadata` includes: `id`, `name`, `title`, `icon`, `module`, `hasSidecar`
-- [ ] `agent.metadata.hasSidecar` is `false` (Simple agents don't have sidecars)
-- [ ] `agent.metadata.module` is `stand-alone` or module code (`bmm`, `cis`, `bmgd`, etc.)
-- [ ] `agent.persona` exists with: `role`, `identity`, `communication_style`, `principles`
-- [ ] `agent.menu` exists with at least one item
-- [ ] File named: `{agent-name}.agent.yaml` (lowercase, hyphenated)
-
----
-
-## Persona Validation
-
-### Field Separation
-
-- [ ] **role** contains ONLY knowledge/skills/capabilities (what agent does)
-- [ ] **identity** contains ONLY background/experience/context (who agent is)
-- [ ] **communication_style** contains ONLY verbal patterns (tone, voice, mannerisms)
-- [ ] **principles** contains operating philosophy and behavioral guidelines
-
-### Communication Style Purity
-
-- [ ] Does NOT contain: "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never"
-- [ ] Does NOT contain identity words: "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned"
-- [ ] Does NOT contain philosophy words: "believes in", "focused on", "committed to"
-- [ ] Does NOT contain behavioral descriptions: "who does X", "that does Y"
-- [ ] Is 1-2 sentences describing HOW they talk
-- [ ] Reading aloud: sounds like describing someone's voice/speech pattern
-
----
-
-## Menu Validation
-
-### Required Fields
-
-- [ ] All menu items have `trigger` field
-- [ ] All menu items have `description` field
-- [ ] All menu items have handler: `action` (Simple agents don't use `exec`)
-
-### Trigger Format
-
-- [ ] Format: `XX or fuzzy match on command-name` (XX = 2-letter code)
-- [ ] Codes are unique within agent
-- [ ] No reserved codes used: MH, CH, PM, DA (auto-injected)
-
-### Description Format
-
-- [ ] Descriptions start with `[XX]` code
-- [ ] Code in description matches trigger code
-- [ ] Descriptions are clear and descriptive
-
-### Action Handler
-
-- [ ] If `action: '#prompt-id'`, corresponding prompt exists
-- [ ] If `action: 'inline text'`, instruction is complete and clear
-
----
-
-## Prompts Validation (if present)
-
-- [ ] Each prompt has `id` field
-- [ ] Each prompt has `content` field
-- [ ] Prompt IDs are unique within agent
-- [ ] Prompts use semantic XML tags: `<instructions>`, `<process>`, etc.
-
----
-
-## Simple Agent Specific
-
-- [ ] Single .agent.yaml file (no sidecar folder)
-- [ ] All content contained in YAML (no external file dependencies)
-- [ ] No `critical_actions` section (Expert only)
-- [ ] Total size under ~250 lines (unless justified)
-- [ ] Compare with reference: `commit-poet.agent.yaml`
-
----
-
-## Path Variables (if used)
-
-- [ ] Paths use `{project-root}` variable (not hardcoded relative paths)
-- [ ] No sidecar paths present (Simple agents don't have sidecars)
-
----
-
-## Quality Checks
-
-- [ ] No broken references or missing files
-- [ ] Indentation is consistent
-- [ ] Agent purpose is clear from reading persona
-- [ ] Agent name/title are descriptive
-- [ ] Icon emoji is appropriate
-
----
-
-## What the Compiler Adds (DO NOT validate presence)
-
-These are auto-injected, don't validate for them:
-- Frontmatter (`---name/description---`)
-- XML activation block
-- Menu items: MH (menu/help), CH (chat), PM (party-mode), DA (dismiss/exit)
-- Rules section
-
----
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### Issue: Communication Style Has Behaviors
-
-**Wrong:** "Experienced analyst who ensures all stakeholders are heard"
-
-**Fix:**
-- identity: "Senior analyst with 8+ years..."
-- communication_style: "Speaks like a treasure hunter"
-- principles: "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
-
-### Issue: Wrong Trigger Format
-
-**Wrong:** `trigger: analyze`
-
-**Fix:** `trigger: AN or fuzzy match on analyze`
-
-### Issue: Description Missing Code
-
-**Wrong:** `description: 'Analyze code'`
-
-**Fix:** `description: '[AC] Analyze code'`

-# Understanding Agent Types: Simple VS Expert VS Module
-
-> **For the LLM running this workflow:** Load and review the example files referenced below when helping users choose an agent type.
-> - Simple examples: `{workflow_path}/data/reference/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
-> - Expert examples: `{workflow_path}/data/reference/expert-examples/journal-keeper/`
-> - Existing Module addition examples: `{workflow_path}/data/reference/module-examples/security-engineer.agent.yaml`
-
----
-
-## What ALL Agent Types Can Do
-
-All three types have equal capability. The difference is **architecture and integration**, NOT power.
-
-- Read, write, and update files
-- Execute commands and invoke tools
-- Load and use module variables
-- Optionally restrict file access (privacy/security)
-- Use core module features: party-mode, agent chat, advanced elicitation, brainstorming, document sharding
-
----
-
-## Quick Reference Decision Tree
-
-**Step 1: Single Agent or Multiple Agents?**
-
-```
-Multiple personas/roles OR multi-user OR mixed data scope?
-├── YES → Use BMAD Module Builder (create module with multiple agents)
-└── NO → Single Agent (continue below)
-```
-
-**Step 2: Memory Needs (for Single Agent)**
-
-```
-Need to remember things across sessions?
-├── YES → Expert Agent (sidecar with memory)
-└── NO → Simple Agent (all in one file)
-```
-
-**Step 3: Module Integration (applies to BOTH Simple and Expert)**
-
-```
-Extending an existing module (BMM/CIS/BMGD/OTHER)?
-├── YES → Module Agent (your Simple/Expert joins the module)
-└── NO → Standalone Agent (independent)
-```
-
-**Key Point:** Simple and Expert can each be either standalone OR module agents. Memory and module integration are independent decisions.
-
----
-
-## The Three Types
-
-### Simple Agent
-
-**Everything in one file. No external dependencies. No memory.**
-
-```
-agent-name.agent.yaml (~250 lines max)
-├── metadata
-├── persona
-├── prompts (inline, small)
-└── menu (triggers → #prompt-id or inline actions)
-```
-
-**Choose when:**
-- Single-purpose utility
-- Each session is independent (stateless)
-- All knowledge fits in the YAML
-- Menu handlers are 5-15 line prompts
-
-**Examples:**
-- Commit message helper (conventional commits)
-- Document formatter/validator
-- Joke/teller persona agent
-- Simple data transformation and analysis tools
-
-**Reference:** `./data/reference/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
-
----
-
-### Expert Agent
-
-**Sidecar folder with persistent memory, workflows, knowledge files.**
-
-```
-agent-name.agent.yaml
-└── agent-name-sidecar/
-    ├── memories.md           # User profile, session history, patterns
-    ├── instructions.md       # Protocols, boundaries, startup behavior
-    ├── [custom-files].md     # Breakthroughs, goals, tracking, etc.
-    ├── workflows/            # Large workflows loaded on demand
-    └── knowledge/            # Domain reference material
-```
-
-**Choose when:**
-- Must remember across sessions
-- User might create multiple instances each with own memory of actions (such as 2 different developers agents)
-- Personal knowledge base that grows
-- Learning/evolving over time
-- Domain-specific with restricted file access
-- Complex multi-step workflows
-
-**Examples:**
-- Journal companion (remembers mood patterns, past entries)
-- Personal job augmentation agent (knows your role, meetings, projects)
-- Therapy/health tracking (progress, goals, insights)
-- Domain advisor with custom knowledge base
-
-**Reference:** `./data/reference/expert-examples/journal-keeper/`
-
-**Required critical_actions:**
-```yaml
-critical_actions:
-  - "Load COMPLETE file ./sidecar/memories.md"
-  - "Load COMPLETE file ./sidecar/instructions.md"
-  - "ONLY read/write files in ./sidecar/ - private space"
-```
-
----
-
-### Module Agent
-
-Two distinct purposes:
-
-#### 1. Extend an Existing Module
-
-Add an agent to BMM, CIS, BMGD, or another existing module.
-
-**Choose when:**
-- Adding specialized capability to existing module ecosystem
-- Agent uses/contributes shared module workflows
-- Coordinates with other agents in the module
-- Input/output dependencies on other module agents
-
-**Example:** Adding `security-engineer.agent.yaml` to BMM (software dev module)
-- Requires architecture document from BMM architect agent
-- Contributes security review workflow to BMM
-- Coordinates with analyst, pm, architect, dev agents
-
-**Reference:** `./data/reference/module-examples/security-engineer.agent.yaml`
-
-#### 2. Signal Need for Custom Module
-
-When requirements exceed single-agent scope, suggest the user **use BMAD Module Builder** instead.
-
-**Signals:**
-- "I need an HR agent, sales agent, F&I agent, and training coach..."
-- "Some info is global/shared across users, some is private per user..."
-- "Many workflows, skills, tools, and platform integrations..."
-
-**Example:** Car Dealership Module
-- Multiple specialized agents (sales-trainer, service-advisor, sales-manager, F&I)
-- Shared workflows (VIN lookup, vehicle research)
-- Global knowledge base + per-user private sidecars
-- Multi-user access patterns
-
-**→ Use BMAD Module Builder workflow to create the module, then create individual agents within it.**
-

-## Side-by-Side Comparison
-
-| Aspect            | Simple                   | Expert                         |
-| ----------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------ |
-| File structure    | Single YAML (~250 lines) | YAML + sidecar/ (150+ + files) |
-| Persistent memory | No                       | Yes                            |
-| Custom workflows  | Inline prompts           | Sidecar workflows (on-demand)  |
-| File access       | Project/output           | Restricted domain              |
-| Integration       | Standalone OR Module     | Standalone OR Module           |
-
-**Note:** BOTH Simple and Expert can be either standalone agents OR module agents (extending BMM/CIS/BMGD/etc.). Module integration is independent of memory needs.
-
----
-
-## Selection Checklist
-
-**Choose Simple if:**
-- [ ] One clear purpose
-- [ ] No need to remember past sessions
-- [ ] All logic fits in ~250 lines
-- [ ] Each interaction is independent
-
-**Choose Expert if:**
-- [ ] Needs memory across sessions
-- [ ] Personal knowledge base
-- [ ] Domain-specific expertise
-- [ ] Restricted file access for privacy
-- [ ] Learning/evolving over time
-- [ ] Complex workflows in sidecar
-
-**Then, for EITHER Simple or Expert:**
-- [ ] Extending existing module (BMM/CIS/BMGD/etc.) → Make it a Module Agent
-- [ ] Independent operation → Keep it Standalone
-
-**Escalate to Module Builder if:**
-- [ ] Multiple distinct personas needed (not one swiss-army-knife agent)
-- [ ] Many specialized workflows required
-- [ ] Multiple users with mixed data scope
-- [ ] Shared resources across agents
-- [ ] Future platform integrations planned
-
----
-
-## Tips for the LLM Facilitator
-
-- If unsure between Simple or Expert → **recommend Expert** (more flexible)
-- Multiple personas/skills → **suggest Module Builder**, not one giant agent
-- Ask about: memory needs, user count, data scope (global vs private), integration plans
-- Load example files when user wants to see concrete implementations
-- Reference examples to illustrate differences
-
----
-
-## Architecture Notes
-
-All three types are equally powerful. The difference is:
-- **How they manage state** (memory vs stateless)
-- **Where they store data** (inline vs sidecar vs module)
-- **How they integrate** (standalone vs module ecosystem)
-
-Choose based on architecture needs, not capability limits.

----
-
-# Step 1: Optional Brainstorming
-
-## STEP GOAL:
-
-Optional creative exploration to generate agent ideas through structured brainstorming before proceeding to agent discovery and development.
-
-## 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 creative facilitator who helps users explore agent possibilities
-- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
-- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
-- ✅ You bring creative brainstorming expertise, user brings their goals and domain knowledge, together we explore innovative agent concepts
-- ✅ Maintain collaborative inspiring tone throughout
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Present brainstorming as optional first step with clear benefits
-- 💾 Preserve brainstorming output for reference in subsequent steps
-- 📖 Use brainstorming workflow when user chooses to participate
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without clear user choice
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Available context: User is starting agent creation workflow
-- Focus: Offer optional creative exploration before formal discovery
-- Limits: No mandatory brainstorming, no pressure tactics
-- Dependencies: User choice to participate or skip brainstorming
-
-## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
-
-**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
-
-### 1. Present Brainstorming Opportunity
-
-Present this to the user:
-
-"Would you like to brainstorm agent ideas first? This can help spark creativity and explore possibilities you might not have considered yet.
-
-**Benefits of brainstorming:**
-
-- Generate multiple agent concepts quickly
-- Explore different use cases and approaches
-- Discover unique combinations of capabilities
-- Get inspired by creative prompts
-
-**Skip if you already have a clear agent concept in mind!**
-
-This step is completely optional - you can move directly to agent discovery if you already know what you want to build.
-
-Would you like to brainstorm? [y/n]"
-
-Wait for clear user response (yes/no or y/n).
-
-### 2. Handle User Choice
-
-**If user answers yes:**
-
-- Load brainstorming workflow: `{brainstormWorkflow}` passing to the workflow the `{brainstormContext}` guidance
-- Execute brainstorming session scoped specifically utilizing the brainstormContext to guide the scope and outcome
-- Capture all brainstorming output for next step
-- Return to this step after brainstorming completes
-
-**If user answers no:**
-
-- Acknowledge their choice respectfully
-- Proceed directly to menu options
-
-### 3. Present MENU OPTIONS
-
-Display: "Are you ready to [C] Continue to Discovery?"
-
-#### Menu Handling Logic:
-
-- IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
-
-#### EXECUTION RULES:
-
-- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
-- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
-- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
-- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
-
-## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
-
-ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [user choice regarding brainstorming handled], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin agent discovery.
-
----
-
-## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
-
-### ✅ SUCCESS:
-
-- User understands brainstorming is optional
-- User choice (yes/no) clearly obtained and respected
-- Brainstorming workflow executes correctly when chosen
-- Brainstorming output preserved when generated
-- Menu presented and user input handled correctly
-- Smooth transition to agent discovery phase
-
-### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
-
-- Making brainstorming mandatory or pressuring user
-- Proceeding without clear user choice on brainstorming
-- Not preserving brainstorming output when generated
-- Failing to execute brainstorming workflow when chosen
-- Not respecting user's choice to skip brainstorming
-
-**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
