+---
+
+# DEPRECATED — forwards to bmad-architecture (create intent)
+
+This skill was consolidated into `bmad-architecture`. It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and `_bmad/custom/bmad-create-architecture.toml` override files keep working. New work should invoke `bmad-architecture` directly — it detects create / update / validate intent from the conversation.
+
+## On Activation
+
+1. Resolve customization: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow`. This picks up any `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-create-architecture.toml` and `bmad-create-architecture.user.toml` overrides for the legacy fields (`activation_steps_prepend`, `activation_steps_append`, `persistent_facts`, `on_complete`).
+
+2. Load `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` (and `config.user.yaml` if present) to resolve `{user_name}` and `{communication_language}`.
+
+3. Emit a deprecation notice to the user in `{communication_language}`:
+
+   > Notice: `bmad-create-architecture` is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It now forwards to `bmad-architecture` with create intent. To silence this notice and access the full new customization surface (`spine_template`, `spine_output_path`, `run_folder_pattern`, `doc_standards`, `external_sources`, `external_handoffs`, `finalize_reviewers`), migrate `_bmad/custom/bmad-create-architecture.toml` to `_bmad/custom/bmad-architecture.toml` and invoke `bmad-architecture` directly next time. Customization fields that were in this version still remain in the new version and will be respected if present in `_bmad/custom/bmad-architecture.toml`, but the new version also supports additional fields that you can take advantage of by migrating.
+
+4. Invoke `bmad-architecture` with the following context. Pass these as the activating context so `bmad-architecture` honors them instead of resolving its own customization from scratch:
+
+   - **Intent:** `create` — skip `bmad-architecture`'s usual intent detection step.
+   - **Pre-resolved legacy customization** — use these in place of resolving from `bmad-architecture`'s own `customize.toml` for the four legacy fields. For everything else (`spine_template`, `spine_output_path`, `run_folder_pattern`, `doc_standards`, `external_sources`, `external_handoffs`, `finalize_reviewers`), use `bmad-architecture`'s own defaults and overrides as normal:
+     - `activation_steps_prepend` = the resolved value from step 1
+     - `activation_steps_append` = the resolved value from step 1
+     - `persistent_facts` = the resolved value from step 1
+     - `on_complete` = the resolved value from step 1
+   - **Original user input:** forward whatever the user said when invoking this skill verbatim.
+
+   `bmad-architecture` takes the workflow from here. Do not execute any further steps in this shim.

+
+# Create Epics and Stories
+
+**Goal:** Transform PRD requirements and Architecture decisions into comprehensive stories organized by user value, creating detailed, actionable stories with complete acceptance criteria for the Developer agent.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a product strategist and technical specifications writer collaborating with a product owner. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring expertise in requirements decomposition, technical implementation context, and acceptance criteria writing, while the user brings their product vision, user needs, and business requirements. Work together as equals.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Bare paths (e.g. `steps/step-01-validate-prerequisites.md`) resolve from the skill root.
+- `{skill-root}` resolves to this skill's installed directory (where `customize.toml` lives).
+- `{project-root}`-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
+- `{skill-name}` resolves to the skill directory's basename.
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step toward the overall goal is a self-contained instruction file; adhere to one file at a time, as directed
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only 1 current step file will be loaded and followed to completion - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, read fully and follow the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- 🛑 **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- 📖 **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- 🚫 **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- 💾 **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- 🎯 **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- ⏸️ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- 📋 **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+## On Activation
+
+### Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block
+
+Run: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow`
+
+**If the script fails**, resolve the `workflow` block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:
+
+1. `{skill-root}/customize.toml` — defaults
+2. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml` — team overrides
+3. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml` — personal overrides
+
+Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by `code` or `id` replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.
+
+### Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps
+
+Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_prepend}` in order before proceeding.
+
+### Step 3: Load Persistent Facts
+
+Treat every entry in `{workflow.persistent_facts}` as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed `file:` are paths or globs under `{project-root}` — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.
+
+### Step 4: Load Config
+
+Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
+- Use `{user_name}` for greeting
+- Use `{communication_language}` for all communications
+- Use `{document_output_language}` for output documents
+- Use `{planning_artifacts}` for output location and artifact scanning
+- Use `{project_knowledge}` for additional context scanning
+
+### Step 5: Greet the User
+
+Greet `{user_name}`, speaking in `{communication_language}`.
+
+### Step 6: Execute Append Steps
+
+Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_append}` in order.
+
+Activation is complete. If `activation_steps_prepend` or `activation_steps_append` were non-empty, confirm every entry was executed in order before proceeding. Do not begin the main workflow until all activation steps have been completed.
+
+## Execution
+
+Read fully and follow: `./steps/step-01-validate-prerequisites.md` to begin the workflow.

+# Step 1: Validate Prerequisites and Extract Requirements
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To validate that all required input documents exist and extract all requirements (FRs, NFRs, and additional requirements from UX/Architecture) needed for epic and story creation.
+
+## 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 product strategist and technical specifications writer
+- ✅ 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 requirements extraction expertise
+- ✅ User brings their product vision and context
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on extracting and organizing requirements
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to start creating epics or stories in this step
+- 💬 Extract requirements from ALL available documents
+- 🚪 POPULATE the template sections exactly as needed
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Extract requirements systematically from all documents
+- 💾 Populate {planning_artifacts}/epics.md with extracted requirements
+- 📖 Update frontmatter with extraction progress
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until user selects 'C' and requirements are extracted
+
+## REQUIREMENTS EXTRACTION PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Welcome and Overview
+
+Welcome {user_name} to comprehensive epic and story creation!
+
+**CRITICAL PREREQUISITE VALIDATION:**
+
+Verify required documents exist and are complete:
+
+1. **PRD.md** - Contains requirements (FRs and NFRs) and product scope
+2. **Architecture.md** - Contains technical decisions, API contracts, data models
+3. **UX design contract** (if UI exists) - Contains visual identity, interaction patterns, mockups, and user flows
+
+### 2. Document Discovery and Validation
+
+Search for required documents using these patterns (sharded means a large document was split into multiple small files with an index.md into a folder) - if the whole document is found, use that instead of the sharded version:
+
+**PRD Document Search Priority:**
+
+1. `{planning_artifacts}/*prd*.md` (whole document)
+2. `{planning_artifacts}/*prd*/index.md` (sharded version)
+
+**Architecture Document Search Priority:**
+
+1. `{planning_artifacts}/*architecture*.md` (whole document)
+2. `{planning_artifacts}/*architecture*/index.md` (sharded version)
+
+**UX Design Document Search (Optional):**
+
+1. `{planning_artifacts}/ux-designs/ux-*/DESIGN.md` and `{planning_artifacts}/ux-designs/ux-*/EXPERIENCE.md` (bmad-ux spine pair)
+2. `{planning_artifacts}/*ux*.md` (legacy whole document)
+3. `{planning_artifacts}/*ux*/index.md` (legacy sharded version)
+
+For each matching bmad-ux run folder, treat `DESIGN.md` and `EXPERIENCE.md` as one UX design contract:
+
+- Confirm and load both files together. `DESIGN.md` owns visual identity and design tokens; `EXPERIENCE.md` owns information architecture, behavior, states, interactions, accessibility, and journeys.
+- Add both files to the `inputDocuments: []` frontmatter array.
+- If only one spine exists, report the incomplete pair and ask whether the user wants to include the partial UX handoff.
+- If multiple run folders match, show each run folder with the spine frontmatter `status` and `updated` values when available, then ask the user which UX design contract to include.
+
+Before proceeding, Ask the user if there are any other documents to include for analysis, and if anything found should be excluded. Wait for user confirmation. Once confirmed, create the {planning_artifacts}/epics.md from the ../templates/epics-template.md and in the front matter list the files in the array of `inputDocuments: []`.
+
+### 3. Extract Functional Requirements (FRs)
+
+From the PRD document (full or sharded), read then entire document and extract ALL functional requirements:
+
+**Extraction Method:**
+
+- Look for numbered items like "FR1:", "Functional Requirement 1:", or similar
+- Identify requirement statements that describe what the system must DO
+- Include user actions, system behaviors, and business rules
+
+**Format the FR list as:**
+
+```
+FR1: [Clear, testable requirement description]
+FR2: [Clear, testable requirement description]
+...
+```
+
+### 4. Extract Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
+
+From the PRD document, extract ALL non-functional requirements:
+
+**Extraction Method:**
+
+- Look for performance, security, usability, reliability requirements
+- Identify constraints and quality attributes
+- Include technical standards and compliance requirements
+
+**Format the NFR list as:**
+
+```
+NFR1: [Performance/Security/Usability requirement]
+NFR2: [Performance/Security/Usability requirement]
+...
+```
+
+### 5. Extract Additional Requirements from Architecture
+
+Review the Architecture document for technical requirements that impact epic and story creation:
+
+**Look for:**
+
+- **Starter Template**: Does Architecture specify a starter/greenfield template? If YES, document this for Epic 1 Story 1
+- Infrastructure and deployment requirements
+- Integration requirements with external systems
+- Data migration or setup requirements
+- Monitoring and logging requirements
+- API versioning or compatibility requirements
+- Security implementation requirements
+
+**IMPORTANT**: If a starter template is mentioned in Architecture, note it prominently. This will impact Epic 1 Story 1.
+
+**Format Additional Requirements as:**
+
+```
+- [Technical requirement from Architecture that affects implementation]
+- [Infrastructure setup requirement]
+- [Integration requirement]
+...
+```
+
+### 6. Extract UX Design Requirements (if UX document exists)
+
+**IMPORTANT**: The UX Design Specification is a first-class input document, not supplementary material. Requirements from the UX spec must be extracted with the same rigor as PRD functional requirements.
+
+Read the FULL UX design contract and extract ALL actionable work items. For a bmad-ux spine pair, read both `DESIGN.md` and `EXPERIENCE.md`:
+
+**Look for:**
+
+- **Design token work**: Color systems, spacing scales, typography tokens that need implementation or consolidation
+- **Component proposals**: Reusable UI components identified in the UX spec (e.g., ConfirmActions, StatusMessage, EmptyState, FocusIndicator)
+- **Visual standardization**: Semantic CSS classes, consistent color palette usage, design pattern consolidation
+- **Accessibility requirements**: Contrast audit fixes, ARIA patterns, keyboard navigation, screen reader support
+- **Responsive design requirements**: Breakpoints, layout adaptations, mobile-specific interactions
+- **Interaction patterns**: Animations, transitions, loading states, error handling UX
+- **Browser/device compatibility**: Target platforms, progressive enhancement requirements
+
+**Format UX Design Requirements as a SEPARATE section (not merged into Additional Requirements):**
+
+```
+UX-DR1: [Actionable UX design requirement with clear implementation scope]
+UX-DR2: [Actionable UX design requirement with clear implementation scope]
+...
+```
+
+**🚨 CRITICAL**: Do NOT reduce UX requirements to vague summaries. Each UX-DR must be specific enough to generate a story with testable acceptance criteria. If the UX spec identifies 6 reusable components, list all 6 — not "create reusable components."
+
+### 7. Load and Initialize Template
+
+Load ../templates/epics-template.md and initialize {planning_artifacts}/epics.md:
+
+1. Copy the entire template to {planning_artifacts}/epics.md
+2. Replace {{project_name}} with the actual project name
+3. Replace placeholder sections with extracted requirements:
+   - {{fr_list}} → extracted FRs
+   - {{nfr_list}} → extracted NFRs
+   - {{additional_requirements}} → extracted additional requirements (from Architecture)
+   - {{ux_design_requirements}} → extracted UX Design Requirements (if UX document exists)
+4. Leave {{requirements_coverage_map}} and {{epics_list}} as placeholders for now
+
+### 8. Present Extracted Requirements
+
+Display to user:
+
+**Functional Requirements Extracted:**
+
+- Show count of FRs found
+- Display the first few FRs as examples
+- Ask if any FRs are missing or incorrectly captured
+
+**Non-Functional Requirements Extracted:**
+
+- Show count of NFRs found
+- Display key NFRs
+- Ask if any constraints were missed
+
+**Additional Requirements (Architecture):**
+
+- Summarize technical requirements from Architecture
+- Verify completeness
+
+**UX Design Requirements (if applicable):**
+
+- Show count of UX-DRs found
+- Display key UX Design requirements (design tokens, components, accessibility)
+- Verify each UX-DR is specific enough for story creation
+
+### 9. Get User Confirmation
+
+Ask: "Do these extracted requirements accurately represent what needs to be built? Any additions or corrections?"
+
+Update the requirements based on user feedback until confirmation is received.
+
+## CONTENT TO SAVE TO DOCUMENT:
+
+After extraction and confirmation, update {planning_artifacts}/epics.md with:
+
+- Complete FR list in {{fr_list}} section
+- Complete NFR list in {{nfr_list}} section
+- All additional requirements in {{additional_requirements}} section
+- UX Design requirements in {{ux_design_requirements}} section (if UX document exists)
+
+### 10. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: `**Confirm the Requirements are complete and correct to [C] continue:**`
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu option
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C: Save all to {planning_artifacts}/epics.md, update frontmatter, then read fully and follow: ./step-02-design-epics.md
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#10-present-menu-options)
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and all requirements are saved to document and frontmatter is updated, will you then read fully and follow: ./step-02-design-epics.md to begin epic design step.
+
