- # WIZZ Method Documentation (Full)
2
-
3
- > Complete documentation for AI consumption
4
- > Generated: 2026-06-24
5
- > Repository: https://github.com/bmad-code-org/WIZZ-METHOD
6
-
7
- <document path="index.md">
8
- The **Wizz Method** is an AI-driven agency development and production method. It follows the work from start to finish: from idea and planning all the way through agent-assisted implementation. It provides specialized agents, guided workflows, and planning that adapts to your project's complexity, whether you're shipping a small fix or an entire platform.
9
-
10
- If you're comfortable working with AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot, you're ready to get started.
11
-
12
- :::note[Independent fork of the Wizz Method]
13
- The Wizz Method is an independent fork of the [Wizz Method](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/WIZZ-METHOD), maintained by Wizz! comms. The engine is still BMAD (credited in the repository's `TRADEMARK.md`); the Wizz layer adds agency routing through `wizz-maestro`, a standardized closeout (✅ what I did, ➡️ next step, 🎯 command), and Portuguese-friendly defaults for the agency's skills.
14
- :::
15
-
16
- ## Getting Started
17
-
18
- The fastest way to understand the method is to try it.
19
-
20
- - **[Get started](./tutorials/getting-started.md)**: install and understand how the Wizz Method works.
21
- - **[Workflow map](./reference/workflow-map.md)**: an overview of the phases, workflows, and context management.
22
-
23
- :::tip[Just want to dive in?]
24
- Install the Wizz Method and invoke `wizz-maestro`. It reads your request and dispatches the right agent based on your project and installed modules.
25
- :::
26
-
27
- ## How to Use These Docs
28
-
29
- These docs are organized into four sections based on what you're trying to do:
30
-
31
- | Section | Purpose |
32
- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33
- | **Tutorials** | Learning-oriented. Step-by-step guides that walk you through building something. Start here if you're new. |
34
- | **How-To Guides** | Task-oriented. Practical guides for solving specific problems. "How do I customize an agent?" lives here. |
35
- | **Explanation** | Understanding-oriented. Deep dives into concepts and architecture. Read when you want to know *why*. |
36
- | **Reference** | Information-oriented. Technical specifications for agents, workflows, and configuration. |
37
-
38
- ## Expand and Customize
39
-
40
- Want to extend the Wizz Method with your own agents, workflows, or modules? The agency customization lives in the `wizz` module (agents, overrides, and `wizz-init`). Personal tweaks go in `_wizz/custom/`, which takes precedence over the team defaults.
41
-
42
- ## What You'll Need
43
-
44
- The Wizz Method works with any AI assistant that supports system prompts or project context. Popular options include:
45
-
46
- - **[Claude Code](https://code.claude.com)**: Anthropic's CLI (recommended).
47
- - **[Cursor](https://cursor.sh)**: AI-first code editor.
48
- - **[Codex CLI](https://github.com/openai/codex)**: OpenAI's terminal coding agent.
49
-
50
- You should be comfortable with basic development concepts (version control, project structure, agile workflows). No prior experience with agent systems is required. That's what these docs are for.
51
-
52
- ## Community
53
-
54
- Ask questions, show what you're building, or contribute:
55
-
56
- - **[GitHub](https://github.com/wizzcomms/wizz-method)**: source code, issues, and contributions.
57
- - **[Wizz! comms.](https://wizzcomms.com)**: the agency behind the method.

88
-
89
- ## Meet Wizz-Help: Your Intelligent Guide
90
-
91
- **Wizz-Help is the fastest way to get started with the Wizz Method.** You don't need to memorize workflows or phases. Just ask, and Wizz-Help will:
92
-
93
- - **Inspect your project** to see what's already been done
94
- - **Show your options** based on which modules you have installed
95
- - **Recommend what's next** — including the first required task
96
- - **Answer questions** like "I have a SaaS idea, where do I start?"
97
-
98
- ### How to Use Wizz-Help
99
-
100
- Run it in your AI IDE by invoking the skill:
101
-
102
- ```
103
- wizz-help
104
- ```
105
-
106
- Or combine it with a question for context-aware guidance:
107
-
108
- ```
109
- wizz-help I have an idea for a SaaS product, I already know all the features I want. where do I get started?
110
- ```
111
-
112
- Wizz-Help will respond with:
113
-
114
- - What's recommended for your situation
115
- - What the first required task is
116
- - What the rest of the process looks like
117
-
118
- ### It Powers Workflows Too
119
-
120
- Wizz-Help doesn't just answer questions. **It automatically runs at the end of every workflow** to tell you exactly what to do next. No guessing, no searching docs. Just clear guidance on the next required workflow.
121
-
122
- :::tip[Start Here]
123
- After installing the Wizz Method, invoke the `wizz-help` skill immediately. It will detect what modules you have installed and guide you to the right starting point for your project.
124
- :::
125
-
126
- ## Understanding the Wizz Method
127
-
128
- The Wizz Method helps you build software through guided workflows with specialized AI agents. The process follows four phases:
129
-
130
- | Phase | Name | What Happens |
131
- | ----- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
132
- | 1 | Analysis | Brainstorming, research, product brief or PRFAQ _(optional)_ |
133
- | 2 | Planning | Create requirements (PRD or spec) |
134
- | 3 | Solutioning | Design architecture _(Wizz Method/Enterprise only)_ |
135
- | 4 | Implementation | Build epic by epic, story by story |
136
-
137
- **[Open the Workflow Map](../reference/workflow-map.md)** to explore phases, workflows, and context management.
138
-
139
- Based on your project's complexity, the Wizz Method offers three planning tracks:
140
-
141
- | Track | Best For | Documents Created |
142
- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
143
- | **Quick Flow** | Bug fixes, simple features, clear scope (1-15 stories) | Tech-spec only |
144
- | **Wizz Method** | Products, platforms, complex features (10-50+ stories) | PRD + Architecture + UX |
145
- | **Enterprise** | Compliance, multi-tenant systems (30+ stories) | PRD + Architecture + Security + DevOps |
146
-
147
- :::note
148
- Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Choose your track based on planning needs, not story math.
149
- :::
150
-
151
- ## Installation
152
-
153
- Open a terminal in your project directory and run:
154
-
155
- ```bash
156
- npx wizz-method install
157
- ```
158
-
159
- If you want the newest prerelease build instead of the default release channel, use `npx bmad-method@next install`.
160
-
161
- When prompted to select modules, choose **Wizz Method**.
162
-
163
- The installer creates two folders:
164
-
165
- - `_wizz/` — agents, workflows, tasks, and configuration
166
- - `_wizz-output/` — empty for now, but this is where your artifacts will be saved
167
-
168
- :::tip[Your Next Step]
169
- Open your AI IDE in the project folder and run:
170
-
171
- ```
172
- wizz-help
173
- ```
174
-
175
- Wizz-Help will detect what you've completed and recommend exactly what to do next. You can also ask it questions like "What are my options?" or "I have a SaaS idea, where should I start?"
176
- :::
177
-
178
- :::note[How to Load Agents and Run Workflows]
179
- Each workflow has a **skill** you invoke by name in your IDE (e.g., `wizz-prd`). Your AI tool will recognize the `wizz-*` name and run it — you don't need to load agents separately. You can also invoke an agent skill directly for general conversation (e.g., `wizz-agent-pm` for the PM agent).
180
- :::
181
-
182
- :::caution[Fresh Chats]
183
- Always start a fresh chat for each workflow. This prevents context limitations from causing issues.
184
- :::
185
-
186
- ## Step 1: Create Your Plan
187
-
188
- Work through phases 1-3. **Use fresh chats for each workflow.**
189
-
190
- :::tip[Project Context (Optional)]
191
- Before starting, consider creating `project-context.md` to document your technical preferences and implementation rules. This ensures all AI agents follow your conventions throughout the project.
192
-
193
- Create it manually at `_wizz-output/project-context.md` or generate it after architecture using `wizz-generate-project-context`. [Learn more](../explanation/project-context.md).
194
- :::
195
-
196
- ### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
197
-
198
- All workflows in this phase are optional. [**Not sure which to use?**](../explanation/analysis-phase.md)
199
-
200
- - **brainstorming** (`wizz-brainstorming`) — Guided ideation
201
- - **research** (`wizz-market-research` / `wizz-domain-research` / `wizz-technical-research`) — Market, domain, and technical research
202
- - **product-brief** (`wizz-product-brief`) — Recommended foundation document when your concept is clear
203
- - **prfaq** (`wizz-prfaq`) — Working Backwards challenge to stress-test and forge your product concept
204
-
205
- ### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
206
-
207
- **For Wizz Method and Enterprise tracks:**
208
-
209
- 1. Run `wizz-prd` in a new chat — state your intent (Create / Update / Validate) or let the skill ask
210
- 2. Output: `prd.md`, `addendum.md`, `decision-log.md`
211
-
212
- :::note[`wizz-prd` intents]
213
-
214
- - **Create** — coached discovery from scratch; the skill names the workspace folder and guides you to a PRD you're proud of
215
- - **Update** — point it at an existing PRD and a change signal; it surfaces conflicts before applying changes
216
- - **Validate** — critique a finished PRD against a checklist and produce an HTML findings report
217
- :::
218
-
219
- **For Quick Flow track:**
220
-
221
- - Run `wizz-quick-dev` — it handles planning and implementation in a single workflow, skip to implementation
222
-
223
- :::note[UX Design (Optional)]
224
- If your project has a user interface, invoke the **UX-Designer agent** (`wizz-agent-ux-designer`) and run the UX design workflow (`wizz-ux`) after creating your PRD.
225
- :::
226
-
227
- ### Phase 3: Solutioning (Wizz Method/Enterprise)
228
-
229
- **Create Architecture**
230
-
231
- 1. Invoke the **Architect agent** (`wizz-agent-architect`) in a new chat
232
- 2. Run `wizz-create-architecture` (`wizz-create-architecture`)
233
- 3. Output: Architecture document with technical decisions
234
-
235
- **Create Epics and Stories**
236
-
237
- :::tip[V6 Improvement]
238
- Epics and stories are now created _after_ architecture. This produces better quality stories because architecture decisions (database, API patterns, tech stack) directly affect how work should be broken down.
239
- :::
240
-
241
- 1. Invoke the **PM agent** (`wizz-agent-pm`) in a new chat
242
- 2. Run `wizz-create-epics-and-stories` (`wizz-create-epics-and-stories`)
243
- 3. The workflow uses both PRD and Architecture to create technically-informed stories
244
-
245
- **Implementation Readiness Check** _(Highly Recommended)_
246
-
247
- 1. Invoke the **Architect agent** (`wizz-agent-architect`) in a new chat
248
- 2. Run `wizz-check-implementation-readiness` (`wizz-check-implementation-readiness`)
249
- 3. Validates cohesion across all planning documents
250
-
251
- ## Step 2: Build Your Project
252
-
253
- Once planning is complete, move to implementation. **Each workflow should run in a fresh chat.**
254
-
255
- ### Initialize Sprint Planning
256
-
257
- Invoke the **Developer agent** (`wizz-agent-dev`) and run `wizz-sprint-planning` (`wizz-sprint-planning`). This creates `sprint-status.yaml` to track all epics and stories.
258
-
259
- ### The Build Cycle
260
-
261
- For each story, repeat this cycle with fresh chats:
262
-
263
- | Step | Agent | Workflow | Command | Purpose |
264
- | ---- | ----- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
265
- | 1 | DEV | `wizz-create-story` | `wizz-create-story` | Create story file from epic |
266
- | 2 | DEV | `wizz-dev-story` | `wizz-dev-story` | Implement the story |
267
- | 3 | DEV | `wizz-code-review` | `wizz-code-review` | Quality validation _(recommended)_ |
268
-
269
- After completing all stories in an epic, invoke the **Developer agent** (`wizz-agent-dev`) and run `wizz-retrospective` (`wizz-retrospective`).
270
-
271

- ## Common Questions
312
-
313
- **Do I always need architecture?**
314
- Only for Wizz Method and Enterprise tracks. Quick Flow skips from spec to implementation.
315
-
316
- **Can I change my plan later?**
317
- Yes. The `wizz-correct-course` workflow handles scope changes mid-implementation.
318
-
319
- **What if I want to brainstorm first?**
320
- Invoke the Analyst agent (`wizz-agent-analyst`) and run `wizz-brainstorming` (`wizz-brainstorming`) before starting your PRD.
321
-
322
- **Do I need to follow a strict order?**
323
- Not strictly. Once you learn the flow, you can run workflows directly using the Quick Reference above.

327
- :::tip[First Stop: Wizz-Help]
328
- **Invoke `wizz-help` anytime** — it's the fastest way to get unstuck. Ask it anything:
329
-
330
- - "What should I do after installing?"
331
- - "I'm stuck on workflow X"
332
- - "What are my options for Y?"
333
- - "Show me what's been done so far"
334
-
335
- Wizz-Help inspects your project, detects what you've completed, and tells you exactly what to do next.

- :::tip[Don't want to hand-author TOML? Use `wizz-customize`]
358
- The `wizz-customize` skill is a guided authoring helper for the **per-skill agent/workflow override surface** described in this doc. It scans what's customizable in your installation, helps you choose the right surface (agent vs workflow) for your intent, writes the override file for you, and verifies the merge landed. Central-config overrides (`_wizz/custom/config.toml`) are out of scope for v1 — hand-author those per the Central Configuration section below. Run the skill whenever you want to make a per-skill change; this doc is the reference for *what* each surface exposes and how merging works.
359

360
-
361
- ## When to Use This
362
-
363
- - You want to change an agent's personality or communication style
364
- - You need to give an agent persistent facts to recall (e.g. "our org is AWS-only")
365
- - You want to add procedural startup steps the agent must run every session
366
- - You want to add custom menu items that trigger your own skills or prompts
367
- - Your team needs shared customizations committed to git, with personal preferences layered on top
368
-
369
- :::note[Prerequisites]
370
-
371
- - Wizz Method installed in your project (see [How to Install Wizz Method](./install-wizz.md))
372
- - Python 3.11+ on your PATH (for the resolver script -- uses stdlib `tomllib`, no `pip install`, no `uv`, no virtualenv)
373
- - A text editor for TOML files
374
- :::
375
-
376
- ## How It Works
377
-
378
- Every customizable skill ships a `customize.toml` file with its defaults. This file defines the skill's complete customization surface -- read it to see what's customizable. You never edit this file. Instead, you create sparse override files containing only the fields you want to change.
379
-
380
- ### Three-Layer Override Model
381
-
382
- ```text
383
- Priority 1 (wins): _wizz/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml (personal, gitignored)
384
- Priority 2: _wizz/custom/{skill-name}.toml (team/org, committed)
385
- Priority 3 (last): skill's own customize.toml (defaults)
386
- ```
387
-
388
- The `_wizz/custom/` folder starts empty. Files only appear when someone actively customizes.
389
-
390
- ### Merge Rules (by shape, not by field name)
391
-
392
- The resolver applies four structural rules. Field names are never special-cased — behavior is determined purely by the value's shape:
393
-
394
- | Shape | Rule |
395
- |---|---|
396
- | Scalar (string, int, bool, float) | Override wins |
397
- | Table | Deep merge (recursively apply these rules) |
398
- | Array of tables where every item shares the **same** identifier field (every item has `code`, or every item has `id`) | Merge by that key — matching keys **replace in place**, new keys **append** |
399
- | Any other array (scalars; tables with no identifier; arrays that mix `code` and `id` across items) | **Append** — base items first, then team items, then user items |
400
-
401
- **No removal mechanism.** Overrides cannot delete base items. If you need to suppress a default menu item, override it by `code` with a no-op description or prompt. If you need to restructure an array more deeply, fork the skill.
402
-
403
- **The `code` / `id` convention.** The Wizz Method uses `code` (short identifier like `"BP"` or `"R1"`) and `id` (longer stable identifier) as merge keys on arrays of tables. If you author a custom array-of-tables that should be replaceable-by-key rather than append-only, pick **one** convention (either `code` on every item, or `id` on every item) and stick with it across the whole array. Mixing `code` on some items and `id` on others falls back to append — the resolver won't guess which key to merge on.
404
-
405
- ### Some agent fields are read-only
406
-
407
- `agent.name` and `agent.title` live in `customize.toml` as source-of-truth metadata, but the agent's SKILL.md doesn't read them at runtime — they're hardcoded identity. Putting `name = "Bob"` in an override file has no effect. If you genuinely need a different-named agent, copy the skill folder, rename it, and ship it as a custom skill.
408
-
409
- ## Steps
410
-
411
- ### 1. Find the Skill's Customization Surface
412
-
413
- Look at the skill's `customize.toml` in its installed directory. For example, the PM agent:
414
-
415
- ```text
416
- .claude/skills/wizz-agent-pm/customize.toml
417
- ```
418
-
419
- (Path varies by IDE -- Cursor uses `.cursor/skills/`, Cline uses `.cline/skills/`, and so on.)
420
-
421
- This file is the canonical schema. Every field you see is customizable (excluding the read-only identity fields noted above).
422
-
423
- ### 2. Create Your Override File
424
-
425
- Create the `_wizz/custom/` directory in your project root if it doesn't exist. Then create a file named after the skill:
426
-
427
- ```text
428
- _wizz/custom/
429
- wizz-agent-pm.toml # team overrides (committed to git)
430
- wizz-agent-pm.user.toml # personal preferences (gitignored)
431
- ```
432
-
433
- :::caution[Do NOT copy the whole `customize.toml`]
434
- Override files are **sparse**. Include only the fields you're changing — nothing else. Every field you omit is inherited automatically from the layer below (team from defaults, user from team-or-defaults).
435
-
436
- Copying the full `customize.toml` into an override is actively harmful: the next update ships new defaults, but your override file locks in the old values. You'll silently drift out of sync with every release.
437
- :::
438
-
439
- **Example — changing the icon and adding one principle**:
440
-
441
- ```toml
442
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-agent-pm.toml
443
- # Just the fields I'm changing. Everything else inherits.
444
-
445
- [agent]
446
- icon = "🏥"
447
- principles = [
448
- "Ship nothing that can't pass an FDA audit.",
449
- ]
450
- ```
451
-
452
- This appends the new principle to the defaults (leaving the shipped principles intact) and replaces the icon. Every other field stays as shipped.
453
-
454
- ### 3. Customize What You Need
455
-
456
- All examples below assume the Wizz Method's flat agent schema. Fields live directly under `[agent]` — no nested `metadata` or `persona` sub-tables.
457
-
458
- **Scalars (icon, role, identity, communication_style).** Scalar overrides win. You only need to set the fields you're changing:
459
-
460
- ```toml
461
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-agent-pm.toml
462
-
463
- [agent]
464
- icon = "🏥"
465
- role = "Drives product discovery for a regulated healthcare domain."
466
- communication_style = "Precise, regulatory-aware, asks compliance-shaped questions early."
467
- ```
468
-
469
- **Persistent facts, principles, activation hooks (append arrays).** All four arrays below are append-only. Team items run after defaults, user items run last.
470
-
471
- ```toml
472
- [agent]
473
- # Static facts the agent keeps in mind the whole session — org rules, domain
474
- # constants, user preferences. Distinct from the runtime memory sidecar.
475
- #
476
- # Each entry is either a literal sentence, or a `file:` reference whose
477
- # contents are loaded as facts (glob patterns supported).
478
- persistent_facts = [
479
- "Our org is AWS-only -- do not propose GCP or Azure.",
480
- "All PRDs require legal sign-off before engineering kickoff.",
481
- "Target users are clinicians, not patients -- frame examples accordingly.",
482
- "file:{project-root}/docs/compliance/hipaa-overview.md",
483
- "file:{project-root}/_wizz/custom/company-glossary.md",
484
- ]
485
-
486
- # Adds to the agent's value system
487
- principles = [
488
- "Ship nothing that can't pass an FDA audit.",
489
- "User value first, compliance always.",
490
- ]
491
-
492
- # Runs BEFORE the standard activation (persona, persistent_facts, config, greet).
493
- # Use for pre-flight loads, compliance checks, anything that needs to be in
494
- # context before the agent introduces itself.
495
- activation_steps_prepend = [
496
- "Scan {project-root}/docs/compliance/ and load any HIPAA-related documents as context.",
497
- ]
498
-
499
- # Runs AFTER greet, BEFORE the menu. Use for context-heavy setup that should
500
- # happen once the user has been acknowledged.
501
- activation_steps_append = [
502
- "Read {project-root}/_wizz/custom/company-glossary.md if it exists.",
503
- ]
504
- ```
505
-
506
- **The two hooks do different jobs.** Prepend runs before greeting so the agent can load context it needs to personalize the greeting itself. Append runs after greeting so the user isn't staring at a blank terminal while heavy scans complete.
507
-
508
- **Menu customization (merge by `code`).** The menu is an array of tables. Each item has a `code` field (Wizz Method convention), so the resolver merges by code: matching codes replace in place, new codes append.
509
-
510
- TOML array-of-tables syntax uses `[[agent.menu]]` for each item:
511
-
512
- ```toml
513
- # Replace the existing CE item with a custom skill
514
- [[agent.menu]]
515
- code = "CE"
516
- description = "Create Epics using our delivery framework"
517
- skill = "custom-create-epics"
518
-
519
- # Add a new item (code RC doesn't exist in defaults)
520
- [[agent.menu]]
521
- code = "RC"
522
- description = "Run compliance pre-check"
523
- prompt = """
524
- Read {project-root}/_wizz/custom/compliance-checklist.md
525
- and scan all documents in {planning_artifacts} against it.
526
- Report any gaps and cite the relevant regulatory section.
527
- """
528
- ```
529
-
530
- Each menu item has exactly one of `skill` (invokes a registered skill) or `prompt` (executes the text directly). Items not listed in your override keep their defaults.
531
-
532
- **Referencing files.** When a field's text needs to point at a file (in `persistent_facts`, `activation_steps_prepend`/`activation_steps_append`, or a menu item's `prompt`), use a full path rooted at `{project-root}`. Even if the file sits next to your override in `_wizz/custom/`, spell out the full path: `{project-root}/_wizz/custom/info.md`. The agent resolves `{project-root}` at runtime.
533
-
534
- ### 4. Personal vs Team
535
-
536
- **Team file** (`wizz-agent-pm.toml`): Committed to git. Shared across the org. Use for compliance rules, company persona, custom capabilities.
537
-
538
- **Personal file** (`wizz-agent-pm.user.toml`): Gitignored automatically. Use for tone adjustments, personal workflow preferences, and private facts the agent should keep in mind.
539
-
540
- ```toml
541
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-agent-pm.user.toml
542
-
543
- [agent]
544
- persistent_facts = [
545
- "Always include a rough complexity estimate (low/medium/high) when presenting options.",
546
- ]
547
- ```
548
-
549
- ## How Resolution Works
550
-
551
- On activation, the agent's SKILL.md runs a shared Python script that does the three-layer merge and returns the resolved block as JSON. The script uses the Python standard library's `tomllib` module (no external dependencies), so plain `python3` is enough:
552
-
553
- ```bash
554
- python3 {project-root}/_wizz/scripts/resolve_customization.py \
555
- --skill {skill-root} \
556
- --key agent
557
- ```
558
-
559
- **Requirements**: Python 3.11+ (earlier versions don't include `tomllib`). No `pip install`, no `uv`, no virtualenv. Check with `python3 --version`. Some platforms (macOS without Homebrew, Ubuntu 22.04) default `python3` to 3.10 or earlier, so you may need to install 3.11+ separately.
560
-
561
- `--skill` points at the skill's installed directory (where `customize.toml` lives). The skill name is derived from the directory's basename, and the script looks up `_wizz/custom/{skill-name}.toml` and `{skill-name}.user.toml` automatically.
562
-
563
- Useful invocations:
564
-
565
- ```bash
566
- # Resolve the full agent block
567
- python3 {project-root}/_wizz/scripts/resolve_customization.py \
568
- --skill /abs/path/to/wizz-agent-pm \
569
- --key agent
570
-
571
- # Resolve a single field
572
- python3 {project-root}/_wizz/scripts/resolve_customization.py \
573
- --skill /abs/path/to/wizz-agent-pm \
574
- --key agent.icon
575
-
576
- # Full dump
577
- python3 {project-root}/_wizz/scripts/resolve_customization.py \
578
- --skill /abs/path/to/wizz-agent-pm
579
- ```
580
-
581
- Output is always JSON. If the script is unavailable on a given platform, the SKILL.md tells the agent to read the three TOML files directly and apply the same merge rules.
582
-
583
- ## Workflow Customization
584
-
585
- Workflows (skills that drive multi-step processes like `wizz-product-brief`) share the same override mechanism as agents. Their customizable surface lives under `[workflow]` instead of `[agent]`:
586
-
587
- ```toml
588
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-product-brief.toml
589
-
590
- [workflow]
591
- # Same prepend/append semantics as agents — runs before and after the workflow's
592
- # own activation steps. Overrides append to defaults.
593
- activation_steps_prepend = [
594
- "Load {project-root}/docs/product/north-star-principles.md as context.",
595
- ]
596
-
597
- activation_steps_append = []
598
-
599
- # Same literal-or-file: semantics as the agent variant. Loaded as foundational
600
- # context for the duration of the workflow run.
601
- persistent_facts = [
602
- "All briefs must include an explicit regulatory-risk section.",
603
- "file:{project-root}/docs/compliance/product-brief-checklist.md",
604
- ]
605
-
606
- # Scalar: runs once the workflow finishes its main output. Override wins.
607
- on_complete = "Summarize the brief in three bullets and offer to email it via the gws-gmail-send skill."
608
- ```
609
-
610
- The same field conventions cross the agent/workflow boundary: `activation_steps_prepend`/`activation_steps_append`, `persistent_facts` (with `file:` refs), and menu-style `[[…]]` tables with `code`/`id` for keyed merge. The resolver applies the same four structural rules regardless of the top-level key. SKILL.md references follow the namespace: `{workflow.activation_steps_prepend}`, `{workflow.persistent_facts}`, `{workflow.on_complete}`. Any additional fields a workflow exposes (output paths, toggles, review settings, stage flags) follow the same shape-based merge rules. Read the workflow's `customize.toml` to see what's customizable.
611
-
612
- ### Activation Order
613
-
614
- Customizable workflows run their activation in a fixed sequence so you know exactly when your hooks fire:
615
-
616
- 1. Resolve the `[workflow]` block (base → team → user merge)
617
- 2. Execute `activation_steps_prepend` in order
618
- 3. Load `persistent_facts` as foundational context for the run
619
- 4. Load config (`_wizz/bmm/config.yaml`) and resolve standard variables (project name, languages, paths, date)
620
- 5. Greet the user
621
- 6. Execute `activation_steps_append` in order
622
-
623
- After step 6 the workflow body begins. Use `activation_steps_prepend` when you need context loaded before the greeting can be personalized; use `activation_steps_append` when the setup is heavy and you'd rather the user sees the greeting first.
624
-
625
- ### Scope of This Initial Pass
626
-
627
- Customization is rolling out incrementally. The fields documented above — `activation_steps_prepend`, `activation_steps_append`, `persistent_facts`, `on_complete` — are the **baseline surface** that every customizable workflow exposes, and they will remain stable across versions. They give you broad-stroke control today: inject pre/post steps, pin foundational context, trigger follow-up actions.
628
-
629
- Over time, individual workflows will expose **more targeted customization points** tailored to what that workflow actually does — things like step-specific toggles, stage flags, output template paths, or review gates. When those arrive, they stack on top of the baseline fields rather than replacing them, so customizations you author today keep working.
630
-
631
- If you need a fine-grained knob that isn't exposed yet, either use `activation_steps_*` and `persistent_facts` to steer behavior, or open an issue describing the specific customization point you want — those requests are what drive which targeted fields get added next.
632
-
633
- ## Central Configuration
634
-
635
- Per-skill `customize.toml` covers **deep behavior** (hooks, menus, persistent_facts, persona overrides for a single agent or workflow). A separate surface covers **cross-cutting state** — install answers and the agent roster that external skills like `wizz-party-mode`, `wizz-retrospective`, and `wizz-advanced-elicitation` consume. That surface lives in four TOML files at project root:
636
-
637
- ```text
638
- _wizz/config.toml (installer-owned) team scope: install answers + agent roster
639
- _wizz/config.user.toml (installer-owned) user scope: user_name, language, skill level
640
- _wizz/custom/config.toml (human-authored) team overrides (committed to git)
641
- _wizz/custom/config.user.toml (human-authored) personal overrides (gitignored)
642
- ```
643
-
644
- ### Four-Layer Merge
645
-
646
- ```text
647
- Priority 1 (wins): _wizz/custom/config.user.toml
648
- Priority 2: _wizz/custom/config.toml
649
- Priority 3: _wizz/config.user.toml
650
- Priority 4 (base): _wizz/config.toml
651
- ```
652
-
653
- Same structural rules as per-skill customize (scalars override, tables deep-merge, `code`/`id`-keyed arrays merge by key, other arrays append).
654
-
655
- ### What Lives Where
656
-
657
- The installer partitions answers by the `scope:` declared on each prompt in `module.yaml`:
658
-
659
- - `[core]` and `[modules.<code>]` sections — install answers. Scope `team` lands in `_wizz/config.toml`; scope `user` lands in `_wizz/config.user.toml`.
660
- - `[agents.<code>]` — agent essence (code, name, title, icon, description, team) distilled from each module's `module.yaml` `agents:` block. Always team-scoped.
661
-
662
- ### Editing Rules
663
-
664
- - `_wizz/config.toml` and `_wizz/config.user.toml` are **regenerated every install** from the answers collected during the installer flow. Treat them as read-only outputs — direct edits will be overwritten on the next install. To change an install answer durably, re-run the installer (it remembers your prior answers as defaults) or shadow the value in `_wizz/custom/config.toml`.
665
- - `_wizz/custom/config.toml` and `_wizz/custom/config.user.toml` are **never touched** by the installer. This is the correct surface for custom agents, agent descriptor overrides, team-enforced settings, and any value you want to pin regardless of install answers.
666
-
667
- ### Example — Rebrand an Agent
668
-
669
- ```toml
670
- # _wizz/custom/config.toml (committed to git, applies to every developer)
671
-
672
- [agents.wizz-agent-pm]
673
- description = "Healthcare PM — regulatory-aware, stakeholder-driven, FDA-shaped questions first."
674
- icon = "🏥"
675
- ```
676
-
677
- The resolver merges over the installer-written `[agents.wizz-agent-pm]`. `wizz-party-mode` and any other roster consumer pick up the new description automatically.
678
-
679
- ### Example — Add a Fictional Agent
680
-
681
- ```toml
682
- # _wizz/custom/config.user.toml (personal, gitignored)
683
-
684
- [agents.kirk]
685
- team = "startrek"
686
- name = "Captain James T. Kirk"
687
- title = "Starship Captain"
688
- icon = "🖖"
689
- description = "Bold, rule-bending commander. Speaks in dramatic pauses. Thinks aloud about the weight of command."
690
- ```
691
-
692
- No skill folder required — the essence alone is enough for party-mode to spawn Kirk as a voice. Filter by the `team` field to invite just the Enterprise crew to a roundtable.
693
-
694
- ### Example — Override Module Install Settings
695
-
696
- ```toml
697
- # _wizz/custom/config.toml
698
-
699
- [modules.bmm]
700
- planning_artifacts = "/shared/org-planning-artifacts"
701
- ```
702
-
703
- The override wins over whatever each developer answered during their local install. Useful for pinning team conventions.
704
-
705
- ### When to Use Which Surface
706
-
707
- | Need | Use |
708
- |---|---|
709
- | Add MCP tool calls to every dev workflow | Per-skill: `_wizz/custom/wizz-agent-dev.toml` `persistent_facts` |
710
- | Add a menu item to an agent | Per-skill: `_wizz/custom/wizz-agent-{role}.toml` `[[agent.menu]]` |
711
- | Swap a workflow's output template | Per-skill: `_wizz/custom/{workflow}.toml` scalar override |
712
- | Rebrand an agent's public descriptor | **Central**: `_wizz/custom/config.toml` `[agents.<code>]` |
713
- | Add a custom or fictional agent to the roster | **Central**: `_wizz/custom/config.*.toml` new `[agents.<code>]` entry |
714
- | Pin team-enforced install settings | **Central**: `_wizz/custom/config.toml` `[modules.<code>]` or `[core]` |
715
-
716
- Use both surfaces in the same project as needed.
717
-
718
- ## Worked Examples
719
-
720
- For enterprise-oriented recipes (shaping an agent across every workflow it dispatches, enforcing org conventions, publishing outputs to Confluence and Jira, customizing the agent roster, and swapping in your own output templates), see [How to Expand the Wizz Method for Your Organization](./expand-wizz-for-your-org.md).
721
-
722
- ## Troubleshooting
723
-
724
- **Customization not appearing?**
725
-
726
- - Verify your file is in `_wizz/custom/` with the correct skill name
727
- - Check TOML syntax: strings must be quoted, table headers use `[section]`, array-of-tables use `[[section]]`, and any scalar or array keys for a table must appear *before* any of that table's `[[subtables]]` in the file
728
- - For agents, customization lives under `[agent]` -- fields written below that header belong to `agent` until another table header begins
729
- - Remember `agent.name` and `agent.title` are read-only; overrides there have no effect
730
-
731
- **Updates broke my customization?**
732
-
733
- - Did you copy the full `customize.toml` into your override file? **Don't.** Override files should contain only the fields you're changing. A full copy locks in old defaults and silently drifts every release. Trim your override back to just the deltas.
734
-
735
- **Need to see what's customizable?**
736
-
737
- - Run the `wizz-customize` skill — it enumerates every customizable skill installed in your project, shows which ones already have overrides, and walks you through adding or updating one
738
- - Or read the skill's `customize.toml` directly — every field there is customizable (except `name` and `title`)
739
-
740
- **Need to reset?**
741
-
742
- - Delete your override file from `_wizz/custom/` -- the skill falls back to its built-in defaults

748
- This guide covers the essential workflow for onboarding to existing projects with the Wizz Method.
749
-
750
- :::note[Prerequisites]
751
-
752
- - Wizz Method installed (`npx wizz-method install`)
753
- - An existing codebase you want to work on
754
- - Access to an AI-powered IDE (Claude Code or Cursor)
755
- :::
756
-
757
- ## Step 1: Clean Up Completed Planning Artifacts
758
-
759
- If you have completed all PRD epics and stories through the Wizz Method process, clean up those files. Archive them, delete them, or rely on version history if needed. Do not keep these files in:
760
-
761
- - `docs/`
762
- - `_wizz-output/planning-artifacts/`
763
- - `_wizz-output/implementation-artifacts/`
764
-
765
- ## Step 2: Create Project Context
766
-
767
- :::tip[Recommended for Existing Projects]
768
- Generate `project-context.md` to capture your existing codebase patterns and conventions. This ensures AI agents follow your established practices when implementing changes.
769
- :::
770
-
771
- Run the generate project context workflow:
772
-
773
- ```bash
774
- wizz-generate-project-context
775
- ```
776
-
777
- This scans your codebase to identify:
778
-
779
- - Technology stack and versions
780
- - Code organization patterns
781
- - Naming conventions
782
- - Testing approaches
783
- - Framework-specific patterns
784
-
785
- You can review and refine the generated file, or create it manually at `_wizz-output/project-context.md` if you prefer.
786
-
787
- [Learn more about project context](../explanation/project-context.md)
788
-
789
- ## Step 3: Maintain Quality Project Documentation
790
-
791
- Your `docs/` folder should contain succinct, well-organized documentation that accurately represents your project:
792
-
793
- - Intent and business rationale
794
- - Business rules
795
- - Architecture
796
- - Any other relevant project information
797
-
798
- For complex projects, consider using the `wizz-document-project` workflow. It offers runtime variants that will scan your entire project and document its actual current state.
799
-
800
- ## Step 3: Get Help
801
-
802
- ### Wizz-Help: Your Starting Point
803
-
804
- **Run `wizz-help` anytime you're unsure what to do next.** This intelligent guide:
805
-
806
- - Inspects your project to see what's already been done
807
- - Shows options based on your installed modules
808
- - Understands natural language queries
809
-
810
- ```
811
- wizz-help I have an existing Rails app, where should I start?
812
- wizz-help What's the difference between quick-flow and full method?
813
- wizz-help Show me what workflows are available
814
- ```
815
-
816
- Wizz-Help also **automatically runs at the end of every workflow**, providing clear guidance on exactly what to do next.
817
-
818
- ### Choosing Your Approach
819
-
820
- You have two primary options depending on the scope of changes:
821
-
822
- | Scope | Recommended Approach |
823
- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
824
- | **Small updates or additions** | Run `wizz-quick-dev` to clarify intent, plan, implement, and review in a single workflow. The full four-phase Wizz Method is likely overkill. |
825
- | **Major changes or additions** | Start with the Wizz Method, applying as much or as little rigor as needed. |
826
-
827
- ### During PRD Creation
828
-
829
- When creating a brief or jumping directly into the PRD, ensure the agent:
830
-
831
- - Finds and analyzes your existing project documentation
832
- - Reads the proper context about your current system
833
-
834
- You can guide the agent explicitly, but the goal is to ensure the new feature integrates well with your existing system.
835
-
836
- ### UX Considerations
837
-
838
- UX work is optional. The decision depends not on whether your project has a UX, but on:
839
-
840
- - Whether you will be working on UX changes
841
- - Whether significant new UX designs or patterns are needed
842
-
843
- If your changes amount to simple updates to existing screens you are happy with, a full UX process is unnecessary.
844
-
845
- ### Architecture Considerations
846
-
847
- When doing architecture, ensure the architect:
848
-
849
- - Uses the proper documented files
850
- - Scans the existing codebase
851
-
852
- Pay close attention here to prevent reinventing the wheel or making decisions that misalign with your existing architecture.

- The Wizz Method's customization surface lets an organization reshape behavior without editing installed files or forking skills. This guide walks through six recipes that cover most enterprise needs.
862
-
863
- :::note[Prerequisites]
864
-
865
- - Wizz Method installed in your project (see [How to Install Wizz Method](./install-wizz.md))
866
- - Familiarity with the customization model (see [How to Customize Wizz Method](./customize-wizz.md))
867
- - Python 3.11+ on PATH (for the resolver — stdlib only, no `pip install`)
868
- :::
869
-
870
- :::tip[Applying these recipes]
871
- The **per-skill recipes** below (Recipes 1–4) can be applied by running the `wizz-customize` skill and describing the intent — it will pick the right surface, author the override file, and verify the merge. Recipe 5 (central-config overrides to the agent roster) is out of scope for v1 of the skill and remains hand-authored. The recipes here are the source of truth for *what* to override; `wizz-customize` handles the *how* for the agent/workflow surface.
872
- :::
873
-
874
- ## The Three-Layer Mental Model
875
-
876
- Before picking a recipe, know where your override lands:
877
-
878
- | Layer | Where overrides live | Scope |
879
- |---|---|---|
880
- | **Agent** (e.g. Amelia, Mary, John) | `[agent]` section of `_wizz/custom/wizz-agent-{role}.toml` | Travels with the persona into **every workflow the agent dispatches** |
881
- | **Workflow** (e.g. product-brief, create-prd) | `[workflow]` section of `_wizz/custom/{workflow-name}.toml` | Applies only to that workflow's run |
882
- | **Central config** | `[agents.*]`, `[core]`, `[modules.*]` in `_wizz/custom/config.toml` | Agent roster (who's available for party-mode, retrospective, elicitation), install-time settings pinned org-wide |
883
-
884
- Rule of thumb: if the rule should apply everywhere an engineer does dev work, customize the **dev agent**. If it applies only when someone writes a product brief, customize the **product-brief workflow**. If it changes *who's in the room* (rename an agent, add a custom voice, enforce a shared artifact path), edit **central config**.
885
-
886
- ## Recipe 1: Shape an Agent Across Every Workflow It Dispatches
887
-
888
- **Use case:** Standardize tool use and external system integrations so every workflow dispatched through an agent inherits the behavior. This is the highest-impact pattern.
889
-
890
- **Example: Amelia (dev agent) always uses Context7 for library docs, and falls back to Linear when a story isn't found in the epics list.**
891
-
892
- ```toml
893
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-agent-dev.toml
894
-
895
- [agent]
896
-
897
- # Applied on every activation. Carries into dev-story, quick-dev,
898
- # create-story, code-review, qa-generate — every skill Amelia dispatches.
899
- persistent_facts = [
900
- "For any library documentation lookup (React, TypeScript, Zod, Prisma, etc.), call the context7 MCP tool (`mcp__context7__resolve_library_id` then `mcp__context7__get_library_docs`) before relying on training-data knowledge. Up-to-date docs trump memorized APIs.",
901
- "When a story reference isn't found in {planning_artifacts}/epics-and-stories.md, search Linear via `mcp__linear__search_issues` using the story ID or title before asking the user to clarify. If Linear returns a match, treat it as the authoritative story source.",
902
- ]
903
- ```
904
-
905
- **Why this works:** Two sentences reshape every dev workflow in the org, with no per-workflow duplication and no source changes. Every new engineer who pulls the repo inherits the conventions automatically.
906
-
907
- **Team file vs personal file:**
908
- - `wizz-agent-dev.toml`: committed to git; applies to the whole team
909
- - `wizz-agent-dev.user.toml`: gitignored; personal preferences layered on top
910
-
911
- ## Recipe 2: Enforce Organizational Conventions Inside a Specific Workflow
912
-
913
- **Use case:** Shape the *content* of a workflow's output so it meets compliance, audit, or downstream-consumer requirements.
914
-
915
- **Example: every product brief must include compliance fields, and the agent knows about the org's publishing conventions.**
916
-
917
- ```toml
918
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-product-brief.toml
919
-
920
- [workflow]
921
-
922
- persistent_facts = [
923
- "Every brief must include an 'Owner' field, a 'Target Release' field, and a 'Security Review Status' field.",
924
- "Non-commercial briefs (internal tools, research projects) must still include a user-value section, but can omit market differentiation.",
925
- "file:{project-root}/docs/enterprise/brief-publishing-conventions.md",
926
- ]
927
- ```
928
-
929
- **What happens:** The facts load during Step 3 of the workflow's activation. When the agent drafts the brief, it knows the required fields and the enterprise conventions document. The shipped default (`file:{project-root}/**/project-context.md`) still loads, since this is an append.
930
-
931
- ## Recipe 3: Publish Completed Outputs to External Systems
932
-
933
- **Use case:** Once the workflow produces its output, automatically publish to enterprise systems of record (Confluence, Notion, SharePoint) and open follow-up work (Jira, Linear, Asana).
934
-
935
- **Example: briefs auto-publish to Confluence and offer optional Jira epic creation.**
936
-
937
- ```toml
938
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-product-brief.toml
939
-
940
- [workflow]
941
-
942
- # Terminal hook. Scalar override replaces the empty default wholesale.
943
- on_complete = """
944
- Publish and offer follow-up:
945
-
946
- 1. Read the finalized brief file path from the prior step.
947
- 2. Call `mcp__atlassian__confluence_create_page` with:
948
- - space: "PRODUCT"
949
- - parent: "Product Briefs"
950
- - title: the brief's title
951
- - body: the brief's markdown contents
952
- Capture the returned page URL.
953
- 3. Tell the user: "Brief published to Confluence: <url>".
954
- 4. Ask: "Want me to open a Jira epic for this brief now?"
955
- 5. If yes, call `mcp__atlassian__jira_create_issue` with:
956
- - type: "Epic"
957
- - project: "PROD"
958
- - summary: the brief's title
959
- - description: a short summary plus a link back to the Confluence page.
960
- Report the epic key and URL.
961
- 6. If no, exit cleanly.
962
-
963
- If either MCP tool fails, report the failure, print the brief path,
964
- and ask the user to publish manually.
965
- """
966
- ```
967
-
968
- **Why `on_complete` and not `activation_steps_append`:** `on_complete` runs exactly once, at the terminal stage, after the workflow's main output is written. That's the right moment to publish artifacts. `activation_steps_append` runs every activation, before the workflow does its work.
969
-
970
- **Tradeoffs:**
971
- - **Confluence publication is non-destructive** and always runs on completion
972
- - **Jira epic creation is visible to the whole team** and kicks off sprint-planning signals, so gate it on user confirmation
973
- - **Graceful fallback:** if MCP tools fail, hand off to the user rather than silently dropping the output
974
-
975
- ## Recipe 4: Swap in Your Own Output Template
976
-
977
- **Use case:** The default output structure doesn't match your organization's expected format, or different orgs in the same repo need different templates.
978
-
979
- **Example: point the product-brief workflow at an enterprise-owned template.**
980
-
981
- ```toml
982
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-product-brief.toml
983
-
984
- [workflow]
985
- brief_template = "{project-root}/docs/enterprise/brief-template.md"
986
- ```
987
-
988
- **How it works:** The workflow's `customize.toml` ships with `brief_template = "resources/brief-template.md"` (bare path, resolves from skill root). Your override points at a file under `{project-root}`, so the agent reads your template in Stage 4 instead of the shipped one.
989
-
990
- **Template authoring tips:**
991
- - Keep templates in `{project-root}/docs/` or `{project-root}/_wizz/custom/templates/` so they version alongside the override file
992
- - Use the same structural conventions as the shipped template (section headings, frontmatter); the agent adapts to what's there
993
- - For multi-org repos, use `.user.toml` to let individual teams point at their own templates without touching the committed team file
994
-
995
- ## Recipe 5: Customize the Agent Roster
996
-
997
- **Use case:** Change *who's in the room* for roster-driven skills like `wizz-party-mode`, `wizz-retrospective`, and `wizz-advanced-elicitation`, without editing any source or forking. Three common variants follow.
998
-
999
- ### 5a. Rebrand a Wizz Method Agent Org-Wide
1000
-
1001
- Every real agent has a descriptor the installer synthesizes from `module.yaml`. Override it to shift voice and framing across every roster consumer:
1002
-
1003
- ```toml
1004
- # _wizz/custom/config.toml (committed — applies to every developer)
1005
-
1006
- [agents.wizz-agent-analyst]
1007
- description = "Mary the Regulatory-Aware Business Analyst — channels Porter and Minto, but lives and breathes FDA audit trails. Speaks like a forensic investigator presenting a case file."
1008
- ```
1009
-
1010
- Party-mode spawns Mary with the new description. The analyst activation itself still runs normally because Mary's behavior lives in her per-skill `customize.toml`. This override changes how **external skills perceive and introduce her**, not how she works internally.
1011
-
1012
- ### 5b. Add a Fictional or Custom Agent
1013
-
1014
- A full descriptor is enough for roster-based features, with no skill folder needed. Useful for personality variety in party mode or brainstorming sessions:
1015
-
1016
- ```toml
1017
- # _wizz/custom/config.user.toml (personal — gitignored)
1018
-
1019
- [agents.spock]
1020
- team = "startrek"
1021
- name = "Commander Spock"
1022
- title = "Science Officer"
1023
- icon = "🖖"
1024
- description = "Logic first, emotion suppressed. Begins observations with 'Fascinating.' Never rounds up. Counterpoint to any argument that relies on gut instinct."
1025
-
1026
- [agents.mccoy]
1027
- team = "startrek"
1028
- name = "Dr. Leonard McCoy"
1029
- title = "Chief Medical Officer"
1030
- icon = "⚕️"
1031
- description = "Country doctor's warmth, short fuse. 'Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a ___.' Ethics-driven counterweight to Spock."
1032
- ```
1033
-
1034
- Ask party-mode to "invite the Enterprise crew." It filters by `team = "startrek"` and spawns Spock and McCoy with those descriptors. Real Wizz Method agents (Mary, Amelia) can sit at the same table if you ask them to.
1035
-
1036
- ### 5c. Pin Team Install Settings
1037
-
1038
- The installer prompts each developer for values like `planning_artifacts` path. When the org needs one shared answer across the team, pin it in central config — any developer's local prompt answer gets overridden at resolution time:
1039
-
1040
- ```toml
1041
- # _wizz/custom/config.toml
1042
-
1043
- [modules.bmm]
1044
- planning_artifacts = "{project-root}/shared/planning"
1045
- implementation_artifacts = "{project-root}/shared/implementation"
1046
-
1047
- [core]
1048
- document_output_language = "English"
1049
- ```
1050
-
1051
- Personal settings like `user_name`, `communication_language`, or `user_skill_level` stay under each developer's own `_wizz/config.user.toml`. The team file shouldn't touch those.
1052
-
1053
- **Why central config vs per-agent customize.toml:** Per-agent files shape how *one* agent behaves when it activates. Central config shapes what roster consumers *see when they look at the field:* which agents exist, what they're called, what team they belong to, and the shared install settings the whole repo agrees on. Two surfaces, different jobs.
1054
-
1055
- ## Reinforce Global Rules in Your IDE's Session File
1056
-
1057
- Wizz Method customizations load when a skill is activated. Many IDE tools also load a global instruction file at the **start of every session**, before any skill runs (`CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.cursor/rules/`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, etc). For rules that should hold even outside Wizz Method skills, restate the critical ones there too.
1058
-
1059
- **When to double up:**
1060
- - A rule is important enough that a plain chat conversation (no skill active) should still follow it
1061
- - You want belt-and-suspenders enforcement because training-data defaults might otherwise pull the model off-course
1062
- - The rule is concise enough to repeat without bloating the session file
1063
-
1064
- **Example: one line in the repo's `CLAUDE.md` reinforcing the dev-agent rule from Recipe 1.**
1065
-
1066
- ```markdown
1067
- <!-- Any file-read of library docs goes through the context7 MCP tool
1068

1071
-
1072
- One sentence, loaded every session. It pairs with the `wizz-agent-dev.toml` customization so the rule applies both inside Amelia's workflows and during ad-hoc chats with the assistant. Each layer owns its own scope:
1073
-
1074
- | Layer | Scope | Use for |
1075
- |---|---|---|
1076
- | IDE session file (`CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`) | Every session, before any skill activates | Short, universal rules that should survive outside the Wizz Method |
1077
- | Wizz agent customization | Every workflow the agent dispatches | Agent-persona-specific behavior |
1078
- | Wizz workflow customization | One workflow run | Workflow-specific output shape, publishing hooks, templates |
1079
- | Wizz central config | Agent roster + shared install settings | Who's in the room and what shared paths the team uses |
1080
-
1081
- Keep the IDE file **succinct**. A dozen well-chosen lines are more effective than a sprawling list. Models read it every turn, and noise crowds out signal.
1082
-
1083
- ## Recipe 6: Advanced Integration Patterns
1084
-
1085
- Several Wizz Method workflows expose a richer configuration surface beyond the basics covered in Recipes 1–5. These patterns — on-demand knowledge sources, automatic output publishing, finalize-time doc standards, and swappable templates — appear across multiple workflows. Check a workflow's `customize.toml` to see which fields it exposes; the examples below use `wizz-prd` because it exposes all of them, but the same patterns apply wherever the field appears.
1086
-
1087
- ### On-demand knowledge sources (`external_sources`)
1088
-
1089
- Connect the workflow to internal knowledge bases, competitive databases, or compliance references. The agent consults these on demand when the conversation surfaces a matching need — never preemptively.
1090
-
1091
- ```toml
1092
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-prd.toml (same pattern works in any workflow that exposes external_sources)
1093
-
1094
- [workflow]
1095
- external_sources = [
1096
- "When the user mentions a competitor or market segment, query corp:competitive_db (category={project_name}) before drafting the differentiation section.",
1097
- "For regulatory domains (healthcare, fintech, education), consult corp:compliance_reference before drafting domain-specific sections.",
1098
- ]
1099
- ```
1100
-
1101
- Each entry is a natural-language directive naming the MCP tool, the trigger condition, and any fields the tool needs. If the tool is unavailable at runtime, the workflow falls back to standard behavior and notes the gap.
1102
-
1103
- ### Automatic output publishing (`external_handoffs`)
1104
-
1105
- Route completed artifacts to external systems of record after the workflow finalizes. Unlike `on_complete` (Recipe 3), `external_handoffs` is a dedicated append array — team entries stack, and each handoff fires independently with graceful degradation if a tool is unavailable.
1106
-
1107
- ```toml
1108
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-prd.toml (same pattern works in any workflow that exposes external_handoffs)
1109
-
1110
- [workflow]
1111
- external_handoffs = [
1112
- "After finalize, upload prd.md and addendum.md to Confluence via corp:confluence_upload (space_key='PROD', parent_page='PRDs', label='prd', author={user_name}). Capture and surface the returned page URL.",
1113
- "Mirror to Notion via notion:create_page (database_id='abc123', title='PRD: ' + {project_name}).",
1114
- ]
1115
- ```
1116
-
1117
- If a named tool is unavailable, the handoff is skipped and flagged — local files always exist regardless.
1118
-
1119
- ### Finalize-time doc standards (`doc_standards`)
1120
-
1121
- Apply org writing standards to human-consumed documents at finalize, after content is complete but before the user sees the output. Each entry is a `skill:`, `file:`, or plain-text directive; passes run as parallel subagents.
1122
-
1123
- ```toml
1124
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-prd.toml (same pattern works in any workflow that exposes doc_standards)
1125
-
1126
- [workflow]
1127
- doc_standards = [
1128
- "file:{project-root}/docs/enterprise/voice-and-tone.md",
1129
- "All dates must use ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD).",
1130
- "Replace any use of 'leverage' with 'use'.",
1131
- ]
1132
- ```
1133
-
1134
- `doc_standards` is an append array — team entries stack on top of whatever defaults the workflow ships with. Broader structural passes should come before narrower prose passes.
1135
-
1136
- ### Swappable templates and checklists
1137
-
1138
- Workflows that produce structured documents typically expose template and checklist paths as overridable scalars. Point them at org-owned files under `{project-root}` to enforce a different structure without editing any source.
1139
-
1140
- ```toml
1141
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-prd.toml
1142
-
1143
- [workflow]
1144
- # Regulated-industry PRD structure
1145
- prd_template = "{project-root}/docs/enterprise/prd-template-hipaa.md"
1146
-
1147
- # Org-specific validation criteria
1148
- validation_checklist = "{project-root}/docs/enterprise/prd-checklist-regulated.md"
1149
- ```
1150
-
1151
- The agent adapts to whatever structure the template defines. Keep templates under `{project-root}/docs/` or `{project-root}/_wizz/custom/templates/` so they version alongside the override file. For multi-org repos, use `.user.toml` to let teams point at their own templates without touching the committed team file.
1152
-
1153
- ## Combining Recipes
1154
-
1155
- All six recipes compose. A realistic enterprise override for `wizz-product-brief` might set `persistent_facts` (Recipe 2), `on_complete` (Recipe 3), and `brief_template` (Recipe 4) in one file. The agent-level rule (Recipe 1) lives in a separate file under the agent's name, central config (Recipe 5) pins the shared roster and team settings, advanced integration patterns (Recipe 6) configure external sources and handoffs, and all layers apply in parallel.
1156
-
1157
- ```toml
1158
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-product-brief.toml (workflow-level)
1159
-
1160
- [workflow]
1161
- persistent_facts = ["..."]
1162
- brief_template = "{project-root}/docs/enterprise/brief-template.md"
1163
- on_complete = """ ... """
1164
- ```
1165
-
1166
- ```toml
1167
- # _wizz/custom/wizz-agent-analyst.toml (agent-level — Mary dispatches product-brief)
1168
-
1169
- [agent]
1170
- persistent_facts = ["Always include a 'Regulatory Review' section when the domain involves healthcare, finance, or children's data."]
1171
- ```
1172
-
1173
- Result: Mary loads the regulatory-review rule at persona activation. When the user picks the product-brief menu item, the workflow loads its own conventions on top, writes to the enterprise template, and publishes to Confluence on completion. Every layer contributes, and none of them required editing Wizz Method source.
1174
-
1175
- ## Troubleshooting
1176
-
1177
- **Override not taking effect?** Check that the file is under `_wizz/custom/` with the exact skill directory name (e.g. `wizz-agent-dev.toml`, not `wizz-dev.toml`). See [How to Customize Wizz Method](./customize-wizz.md#troubleshooting).
1178
-
1179
- **MCP tool name unknown?** Use the exact name the MCP server exposes in the current session. Ask Claude Code to list available MCP tools if unsure. Hardcoded names in `persistent_facts` or `on_complete` won't work if the MCP server isn't connected.
1180
-
1181
- **Pattern doesn't apply to my setup?** The recipes above are illustrative. The underlying machinery (three-layer merge, structural rules, agent-spans-workflow) supports many more patterns; compose them as needed.

- <document path="how-to/get-answers-about-wizz.md">
1185
- Use the Wizz Method's built-in help, source docs, or the community to get answers, from quickest to most thorough.

-
1187
- ## 1. Ask Wizz-Help
1188
-
1189
- The fastest way to get answers. The `wizz-help` skill is available directly in your AI session and handles over 80% of questions. It inspects your project, sees what you've completed, and tells you what to do next.

1199
- :::
1200
-
1201
- ## 2. Go Deeper with Source
1202
-
1203
- Wizz-Help draws on your installed configuration. For questions about the Wizz Method's internals, history, or architecture, or if you're researching the Wizz Method before installing, point your AI at the source directly.
1204
-
1205
- Clone or open the [wizz-method repo](https://github.com/wizzcomms/wizz-method) and ask your AI about it. Any agent-capable tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) can read the source and answer questions directly.
1206
-
1207
- :::note[Example]
1208
- **Q:** "Tell me the fastest way to build something with the Wizz Method"
1209
-
1210
- **A:** Use Quick Flow: Run `wizz-quick-dev` — it clarifies your intent, plans, implements, reviews, and presents results in a single workflow, skipping the full planning phases.
1211
- :::
1212
-
1213
- **Tips for better answers:**
1214
-
1215
- - **Be specific** — "What does step 3 of the PRD workflow do?" beats "How does PRD work?"
1216
- - **Verify surprising claims** — LLMs occasionally get things wrong. Check the source file or ask on Discord.
1217
-
1218
- ### Not using an agent? Use the docs site
1219
-
1220
- If your AI can't read local files (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, etc.), fetch the llms-full.txt from the wizz-method repo into your session. It's a single-file snapshot of the Wizz Method documentation.
1221
-
1222
- ## 3. Ask Someone
1223
-
1224
- If neither Wizz-Help nor the source answered your question, you now have a much better question to ask.

- Use the Wizz Method installer to add modules from the community registry, third-party Git repositories, or local file paths.
1262
-
1263
- ## When to Use This
1264
-
1265
- - Installing a community-contributed module from the Wizz Method registry
1266
- - Installing a module from a third-party Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted)
1267
- - Testing a module you are developing locally with Wizz Builder
1268
- - Installing modules from a private or self-hosted Git server
1269
-
1270
- :::note[Prerequisites]
1271
- Requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20.12+ and `npx` (included with npm). Custom and community modules can be selected during a fresh install or added to an existing installation.
1272
- :::
1273
-
1274
- ## Community Modules
1275
-
1276
- Community modules are curated in the [Wizz Method plugins marketplace](https://github.com/wizzcomms/wizz-method). They are organized by category and are pinned to an approved commit for safety.
1277
-
1278
- ### 1. Run the Installer
1279
-
1280
- ```bash
1281
- npx wizz-method install
1282
- ```
1283
-
1284
- ### 2. Browse the Community Catalog
1285
-
1286
- After selecting official modules, the installer asks:
1287
-
1288
- ```
1289
- Would you like to browse community modules?
1290
- ```
1291
-
1292
- Select **Yes** to enter the catalog browser. You can:
1293
-
1294
- - Browse by category
1295
- - View featured modules
1296
- - View all available modules
1297
- - Search by keyword
1298
-
1299
- ### 3. Select Modules
1300
-
1301
- Pick modules from any category. The installer shows descriptions, versions, and trust tiers. Already-installed modules are pre-checked for update.
1302
-
1303
- ### 4. Continue with Installation
1304
-
1305
- After selecting community modules, the installer proceeds to custom sources, then tool/IDE configuration and the rest of the install flow.
1306
-
1307
- ## Custom Sources (Git URLs and Local Paths)
1308
-
1309
- Custom modules can come from any Git repository or a local directory on your machine. The installer resolves the source, analyzes the module structure, and installs it alongside your other modules.
1310
-
1311
- ### Interactive Installation
1312
-
1313
- During installation, after the community module step, the installer asks:
1314
-
1315
- ```
1316
- Would you like to install from a custom source (Git URL or local path)?
1317
- ```
1318
-
1319
- Select **Yes**, then provide a source:
1320
-
1321
- | Input Type | Example |
1322
- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
1323
- | HTTPS URL (any host) | `https://github.com/org/repo` |
1324
- | HTTP URL (any host) | `http://host/org/repo` |
1325
- | HTTPS URL with subdir | `https://github.com/org/repo/tree/main/my-module` |
1326
- | SSH URL | `git@github.com:org/repo.git` |
1327
- | Local path | `/Users/me/projects/my-module` |
1328
- | Local path with tilde | `~/projects/my-module` |
1329
-
1330
- The installer clones the repository (for URLs) or reads directly from disk (for local paths), then presents the discovered modules for selection.
1331
-
1332
- ### Non-Interactive Installation
1333
-
1334
- Use the `--custom-source` flag to install custom modules from the command line:
1335
-
1336
- ```bash
1337
- npx wizz-method install \
1338
- --directory . \
1339
- --custom-source /path/to/my-module \
1340
- --tools claude-code \
1341
- --yes
1342
- ```
1343
-
1344
- When `--custom-source` is provided without `--modules`, only core and the custom modules are installed. To include official modules as well, add `--modules`:
1345
-
1346
- ```bash
1347
- npx wizz-method install \
1348
- --directory . \
1349
- --modules bmm \
1350
- --custom-source https://gitlab.com/myorg/my-module \
1351
- --tools claude-code \
1352
- --yes
1353
- ```
1354
-
1355
- Multiple sources can be comma-separated:
1356
-
1357
- ```bash
1358
- --custom-source /path/one,https://github.com/org/repo,/path/two
1359
- ```
1360
-
1361
- ## How Module Discovery Works
1362
-
1363
- The installer uses two modes to find installable modules in a source:
1364
-
1365
- | Mode | Trigger | Behavior |
1366
- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
1367
- | Discovery | Source contains `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` | Lists all plugins from the manifest; you pick which to install |
1368
- | Direct | No marketplace.json found | Scans the directory for skills (subdirectories with `SKILL.md`), resolves as a single module |
1369
-
1370
- Discovery mode is typical for published modules. Direct mode is convenient when pointing at a skills directory during local development.
1371
-
1372
- :::note[About `.claude-plugin/`]
1373
- The `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` path is a standard convention adopted across multiple AI tool installers for plugin discoverability. It does not require Claude, does not use Claude APIs, and has no effect on which AI tool you use. Any module with this file can be discovered by any installer that follows the convention.
1374
- :::
1375
-
1376
- ## Local Development Workflow
1377
-
1378
- If you are building a module with [Wizz Builder](https://github.com/wizzcomms/wizz-method), you can install it directly from your working directory:
1379
-
1380
- ```bash
1381
- npx wizz-method install \
1382
- --directory ~/my-project \
1383
- --custom-source ~/my-module-repo/skills \
1384
- --tools claude-code \
1385
- --yes
1386
- ```
1387
-
1388
- Local sources are referenced by path, not copied to a cache. When you update your module source and reinstall, the installer picks up the latest changes.
1389
-
1390
- :::caution[Source Removal]
1391
- If you delete the local source directory after installation, the installed module files in `_wizz/` are preserved. The module will be skipped during updates until the source path is restored.
1392
- :::
1393
-
1394
- ## What You Get
1395
-
1396
- After installation, custom modules appear in `_wizz/` alongside official modules:
1397
-
1398
- ```
1399
- your-project/
1400
- ├── _wizz/
1401
- │ ├── core/ # Built-in core module
1402
- │ ├── bmm/ # Official module (if selected)
1403
- │ ├── my-module/ # Your custom module
1404
- │ │ ├── my-skill/
1405
- │ │ │ └── SKILL.md
1406
- │ │ └── module-help.csv
1407
- │ └── _config/
1408
- │ └── manifest.yaml # Tracks all modules, versions, and sources
1409
- └── ...
1410
- ```
1411
-
1412
- The manifest records the source of each custom module (`repoUrl` for Git sources, `localPath` for local sources) so that quick updates can locate the source again.
1413
-
1414
- ## Updating Custom Modules
1415
-
1416
- Custom modules participate in the normal update flow:
1417
-
1418
- - **Quick update** (`--action quick-update`): Refreshes all modules from their original sources. Git-based modules are re-fetched; local modules are re-read from their source path.
1419
- - **Full update**: Re-runs module selection so you can add or remove custom modules.
1420
-
1421
- ## Creating Your Own Modules
1422
-
1423
- Use [Wizz Builder](https://github.com/wizzcomms/wizz-method) to create modules that others can install:
1424
-
1425
- 1. Run `bmad-module-builder` to scaffold your module structure
1426
- 2. Add skills, agents, and workflows with the various wizz builder tools
1427
- 3. Publish to a Git repository or share the folder collection
1428
- 4. Others install with `--custom-source <your-repo-url>`
1429
-
1430
- For modules to support discovery mode, include a `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` in your repository root (this is a cross-tool convention, not Claude-specific). See the [Wizz Builder documentation](https://github.com/wizzcomms/wizz-method) for the marketplace.json format.
1431
-
1432
- :::tip[Testing Locally First]
1433
- During development, install your module with a local path to iterate quickly before publishing to a Git repository.

- 1. Installation directory (defaults to the current working directory)
1464
- 2. Which modules to install (checkboxes for core, bmm, bmb, cis, gds, tea)
1465
- 3. **"Ready to install (all stable)?"** — Yes accepts the latest released tag for every external module
1466
- 4. Which AI tools/IDEs to integrate with (claude-code, cursor, and others)
1467
- 5. Per-module config (name, language, output folder)

- :::
1479
-
1480
- ## Picking a specific version
1481
-
1482
- Two independent axes control what ends up on disk.
1483
-
1484
- ### Axis 1: external module channels
1485
-
1486
- Every external module — bmb, cis, gds, tea, and any community module — installs on one of three channels:
1487
-
1488
- | Channel | What gets installed | Who picks this |
1489
- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
1490
- | `stable` (default) | Highest released semver tag. Prereleases like `v2.0.0-alpha.1` are excluded. | Most users |
1491
- | `next` | Main branch HEAD at install time | Contributors, early adopters |
1492
- | `pinned` | A specific tag you name | Enterprise installs, CI reproducibility |
1493
-
1494
- Channels are per-module. You can run bmb on `next` while leaving cis on `stable` — the flags below let you mix freely.
1495
-
1496
- ### Axis 2: installer binary version
1497
-
1498
- The `wizz-method` npm package itself has two dist-tags:
1499
-
1500
- | Command | What you get |
1501
- | ------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
1502
- | `npx wizz-method install` (`@latest`) | Latest stable installer release |
1503
- | `npx bmad-method@next install` | Latest prerelease installer, auto-published on every push to main |
1504
-
1505
- **The installer binary determines your core and bmm versions.** Those two modules ship bundled inside the installer package rather than being cloned from separate repos.
1506
-
1507
- ### Why core and bmm don't have their own channel
1508
-
1509
- They're stapled to the installer binary you ran:
1510
-
1511
- - `npx wizz-method install` → latest stable core and bmm
1512
- - `npx bmad-method@next install` → prerelease core and bmm
1513
- - `node /path/to/local-checkout/tools/installer/wizz-cli.js install` → whatever your local checkout has
1514
-
1515
- `--pin bmm=v6.3.0` and `--next=bmm` are silently ineffective against bundled modules, and the installer warns you when you try. A future release extracts bmm from the installer package; once that ships, bmm gets a proper channel selector like bmb has today.
1516
-
1517
- ## Updating an existing install
1518
-
1519
- Running `npx wizz-method install` in a directory that already contains `_wizz/` gives you a menu:
1520
-
1521
- | Choice | What it does |
1522
- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
1523
- | **Quick Update** | Re-runs the install with your existing settings. Refreshes files, applies patches and minor stable upgrades, refuses major upgrades. Fast, non-interactive. |
1524
- | **Modify Install** | Full interactive flow. Add or remove modules, reconfigure settings, optionally review and switch channels for existing modules. |
1525
-
1526
- ### Upgrade prompts
1527
-
1528
- When Modify detects a newer stable tag for a module you've installed on `stable`, it classifies the diff and prompts accordingly:
1529
-
1530
- | Upgrade type | Example | Default |
1531
- | ------------ | --------------- | ------- |
1532
- | Patch | v1.7.0 → v1.7.1 | Y |
1533
- | Minor | v1.7.0 → v1.8.0 | Y |
1534
- | Major | v1.7.0 → v2.0.0 | **N** |
1535
-
1536
- Major defaults to N because breaking changes frequently surface as "instability" when they weren't expected. The prompt includes a GitHub release-notes URL so you can read what changed before accepting.
1537
-
1538
- Under `--yes`, patch and minor upgrades apply automatically. Majors stay frozen — pass `--pin <code>=<new-tag>` to accept non-interactively.
1539
-
1540
- ### Switching a module's channel
1541
-
1542
- **Interactively:** choose Modify → answer **Yes** to "Review channel assignments?" → each external module offers Keep, Switch to stable, Switch to next, or Pin to a tag.
1543
-
1544
- **Via flags:** the recipes in the next section cover the common cases.
1545
-
1546
- ## Headless CI installs
1547
-
1548
- ### Flag reference
1549
-
1550
- | Flag | Purpose |
1551
- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
1552
- | `--yes`, `-y` | Skip all prompts; accept flag values + defaults |
1553
- | `--directory <path>` | Install into this directory (default: current working dir) |
1554
- | `--modules <a,b,c>` | Exact module set. Core is auto-added. Not a delta — list everything you want kept. |
1555
- | `--tools <a,b>` | IDE/tool selection. Required for fresh `--yes` installs. Run `--list-tools` for valid IDs. |
1556
- | `--list-tools` | Print all supported tool/IDE IDs (with target directories) and exit. |
1557
- | `--action <type>` | `install`, `update`, or `quick-update`. Defaults based on existing install state. |
1558
- | `--custom-source <urls>` | Install custom modules from Git URLs or local paths |
1559
- | `--channel <stable\|next>` | Apply to all externals (aliased as `--all-stable` / `--all-next`) |
1560
- | `--all-stable` | Alias for `--channel=stable` |
1561
- | `--all-next` | Alias for `--channel=next` |
1562
- | `--next=<code>` | Put one module on next. Repeatable. |
1563
- | `--pin <code>=<tag>` | Pin one module to a specific tag. Repeatable. |
1564
- | `--set <module>.<key>=<value>` | Set any module config option non-interactively (preferred — see [Module config overrides](#module-config-overrides)). Repeatable. |
1565
- | `--list-options [module]` | Print every `--set` key for built-in and locally-cached official modules, then exit. Pass a module code to scope to one module. |
1566
- | `--user-name`, `--communication-language`, `--document-output-language`, `--output-folder` | Legacy shortcuts equivalent to `--set core.<key>=<value>` (still supported) |
1567
-
1568
- Precedence when flags overlap: `--pin` beats `--next=` beats `--channel` / `--all-*` beats the registry default (`stable`).
1569
-
1570
- :::note[Example resolution]
1571
- `--all-next --pin cis=v0.2.0` puts bmb, gds, and tea on next while pinning cis to v0.2.0.
1572
- :::
1573
-
1574
- ### Recipes
1575
-
1576
- **Default install — latest stable for everything:**
1577
-
1578
- ```bash
1579
- npx wizz-method install --yes --modules bmm,bmb,cis --tools claude-code
1580
- ```
1581
-
1582
- **Enterprise pin — reproducible byte-for-byte:**
1583
-
1584
- ```bash
1585
- npx wizz-method install --yes \
1586
- --modules bmm,bmb,cis \
1587
- --pin bmb=v1.7.0 --pin cis=v0.2.0 \
1588
- --tools claude-code
1589
- ```
1590
-
1591
- **Bleeding edge — externals on main HEAD:**
1592
-
1593
- ```bash
1594
- npx wizz-method install --yes --modules bmm,bmb --all-next --tools claude-code
1595
- ```
1596
-
1597
- **Add a module to an existing install** (keep everything else):
1598
-
1599
- ```bash
1600
- npx wizz-method install --yes --action update \
1601
- --modules bmm,bmb,gds
1602
- ```
1603
-
1604
- `--tools` is omitted intentionally — `--action update` reuses the tools configured during the first install.
1605
-
1606
- **Mix channels — bmb on next, gds on stable:**
1607
-
1608
- ```bash
1609
- npx wizz-method install --yes --action update \
1610
- --modules bmm,bmb,cis,gds \
1611
- --next=bmb
1612
- ```
1613
-
1614
- ### Module config overrides
1615
-
1616
- `--set <module>.<key>=<value>` lets you set any module config option non-interactively. It's repeatable and scales to every module — present and future. The flag is applied as a post-install patch: the installer runs its normal flow first, then `--set` upserts each value into `_wizz/config.toml` (team scope) or `_wizz/config.user.toml` (user scope), and into `_wizz/<module>/config.yaml` so declared values carry forward to the next install.
1617
-
1618
- **Example — install bmm with explicit project knowledge and skill level:**
1619
-
1620
- ```bash
1621
- npx wizz-method install --yes \
1622
- --modules bmm \
1623
- --tools claude-code \
1624
- --set bmm.project_knowledge=research \
1625
- --set bmm.user_skill_level=expert
1626
- ```
1627
-
1628
- **Discover available keys for a module:**
1629
-
1630
- ```bash
1631
- npx wizz-method install --list-options bmm
1632
- ```
1633
-
1634
- `--list-options` (no argument) lists every key the installer can find locally — built-in modules (`core`, `bmm`) plus any currently cached official modules. The cache is per-machine and can be cleared, so previously installed officials won't appear on a fresh checkout or an ephemeral CI worker until they're installed again. Community and custom modules aren't enumerated here; read the module's `module.yaml` directly to see what keys it declares.
1635
-
1636
- **How it works:**
1637
-
1638
- - **Routing.** The patch step looks for `[modules.<module>] <key>` (or `[core] <key>`) in `config.user.toml` first; if found there, it updates that file. Otherwise it writes to the team-scope `config.toml`. So user-scope keys (e.g. `core.user_name`, `bmm.user_skill_level`) end up in `config.user.toml` and team-scope keys end up in `config.toml`, matching the partition the installer uses.
1639
- - **Verbatim values.** The value is written exactly as you provided it — no `result:` template rendering. To get the rendered form (e.g. `{project-root}/research`), pass it explicitly: `--set bmm.project_knowledge='{project-root}/research'`.
1640
- - **Carry-forward, declared keys.** Values for keys declared in `module.yaml` survive subsequent installs because they're also written to `_wizz/<module>/config.yaml`, which the installer reads as the prompt default on the next run.
1641
- - **Carry-forward, undeclared keys.** A value for a key the module's schema doesn't declare lands in `config.toml` for the current install but won't be re-emitted on the next install (the manifest writer's schema-strict partition drops unknown keys). Re-pass `--set` if you need it sticky, or edit `_wizz/config.toml` directly.
1642
- - **No validation.** `single-select` values aren't checked against the allowed choices, and unknown keys aren't rejected — whatever you assert is written.
1643
- - **Modules not in `--modules`.** Setting a value for a module you didn't include prints a warning and the value is dropped (no file gets created for an uninstalled module).
1644
-
1645
- The legacy core shortcuts (`--user-name`, `--output-folder`, etc.) still work and remain documented for backward compatibility, but `--set core.user_name=...` is equivalent.
1646
-
1647
- :::note[Works with quick-update]
1648
- `--set` is a post-install patch, so it applies the same way regardless of action type. Under `wizz install --action quick-update` (or `--yes` against an existing install, where quick-update is the default), `--set` patches the central config files at the end just like a regular install.
1649
- :::
1650
-
1651
- :::caution[Rate limit on shared IPs]
1652
- Anonymous GitHub API calls are capped at 60/hour per IP. A single install hits the API once per external module to resolve the stable tag. Offices behind NAT, CI runner pools, and VPNs can collectively exhaust this.
1653
-
1654
- Set `GITHUB_TOKEN=<personal access token>` in the environment to raise the limit to 5000/hour per account. Any public-repo-read PAT works; no scopes are required.
1655
- :::
1656
-
1657
- ## What got installed
1658
-
1659
- After any install, `_wizz/_config/manifest.yaml` records exactly what's on disk:
1660
-
1661
- ```yaml
1662
- modules:
1663
- - name: bmb
1664
- version: v1.7.0 # the tag, or "main" for next
1665
- channel: stable # stable | next | pinned
1666
- sha: 86033fc9aeae2ca6d52c7cdb675c1f4bf17fc1c1
1667
- source: external
1668
- repoUrl: https://github.com/bmad-code-org/bmad-builder
1669
- ```
1670
-
1671
- The `sha` field is written for git-backed modules (external, community, and URL-based custom). Bundled modules (core, bmm) and local-path custom modules don't have one — their code travels with the installer binary or your filesystem, not a cloneable ref.
1672
-
1673
- For cross-machine reproducibility, don't rely on rerunning the same `--modules` command. Stable-channel installs resolve to the highest released tag **at install time**, so a later rerun lands on whatever has been released since. Convert the recorded tags from `manifest.yaml` into explicit `--pin` flags on the target machine, e.g.:
1674
-
1675
- ```bash
1676
- npx wizz-method install --yes --modules bmb,cis \
1677
- --pin bmb=v1.7.0 --pin cis=v0.4.2 --tools claude-code
1678
- ```
1679
-
1680
- ## Troubleshooting
1681
-
1682
- ### "Could not resolve stable tag" or "API rate limit exceeded"
1683
-
1684
- You've hit GitHub's 60/hr anonymous limit. Set `GITHUB_TOKEN` and retry. If you already have a token set, it may be expired or rate-limited on its own budget — try a different token or wait for the hourly reset.
1685
-
1686
- ### "Tag 'vX.Y.Z' not found"
1687
-
1688
- The tag you passed to `--pin` doesn't exist in the module's repo. Check the repo's releases page on GitHub for valid tags.
1689
-
1690
- ### A pinned install keeps upgrading
1691
-
1692
- Pinned installs don't upgrade. Quick-update applies patches and minors on stable channel only; it won't touch `pinned` or `next`. If a pinned install changed, open `_wizz/_config/manifest.yaml` — `channel: pinned` plus a fixed `version` and `sha` should hold across runs unless you explicitly override via flags.
1693
-
1694
- ### `--pin bmm=X` didn't do anything
1695
-
1696
- bmm is a bundled module — `--pin` and `--next=` don't apply. Use `npx bmad-method@next install` for a prerelease core/bmm, or check out the bmad-bmm repo and run the installer locally to get unreleased changes.

1712
- :::
1713
-
1714
- ## When to Use This
1715
-
1716
- - You have strong technical preferences before starting architecture
1717
- - You've completed architecture and want to capture decisions for implementation
1718
- - You're working on an existing codebase with established patterns
1719
- - You notice agents making inconsistent decisions across stories
1720
-
1721
- ## Step 1: Choose Your Approach
1722
-
1723
- **Manual creation** — Best when you know exactly what rules you want to document
1724
-
1725
- **Generate after architecture** — Best for capturing decisions made during solutioning
1726
-
1727
- **Generate for existing projects** — Best for discovering patterns in existing codebases
1728
-
1729
- ## Step 2: Create the File
1730
-
1731
- ### Option A: Manual Creation
1732
-
1733
- Create the file at `_wizz-output/project-context.md`:
1734
-
1735
- ```bash
1736
- mkdir -p _wizz-output
1737
- touch _wizz-output/project-context.md
1738
- ```
1739
-
1740
- Add your technology stack and implementation rules:
1741
-
1742
- ```markdown
1743
- ---
1744
- project_name: 'MyProject'
1745
- user_name: 'YourName'

- # Project Context for AI Agents
1751
-
1752
- ## Technology Stack & Versions
1753
-
1754
- - Node.js 20.x, TypeScript 5.3, React 18.2
1755
- - State: Zustand
1756
- - Testing: Vitest, Playwright
1757
- - Styling: Tailwind CSS
1758
-
1759
- ## Critical Implementation Rules
1760
-
1761
- **TypeScript:**
1762
-
1763
- - Strict mode enabled, no `any` types
1764
- - Use `interface` for public APIs, `type` for unions
1765
-
1766
- **Code Organization:**
1767
-
1768
- - Components in `/src/components/` with co-located tests
1769
- - API calls use `apiClient` singleton — never fetch directly
1770
-
1771
- **Testing:**
1772
-
1773
- - Unit tests focus on business logic
1774
- - Integration tests use MSW for API mocking
1775
- ```
1776
-
1777
- ### Option B: Generate After Architecture
1778
-
1779
- Run the workflow in a fresh chat:
1780
-
1781
- ```bash
1782
- wizz-generate-project-context
1783
- ```
1784
-
1785
- The workflow scans your architecture document and project files to generate a context file capturing the decisions made.
1786
-
1787
- ### Option C: Generate for Existing Projects
1788
-
1789
- For existing projects, run:
1790
-
1791
- ```bash
1792
- wizz-generate-project-context
1793
- ```
1794
-
1795
- The workflow analyzes your codebase to identify conventions, then generates a context file you can review and refine.
1796
-
1797
- ## Step 3: Verify Content
1798
-
1799
- Review the generated file and ensure it captures:
1800
-
1801
- - Correct technology versions
1802
- - Your actual conventions (not generic best practices)
1803
- - Rules that prevent common mistakes
1804
- - Framework-specific patterns
1805
-
1806
- Edit manually to add anything missing or remove inaccuracies.
1807
-
1808
- ## What You Get
1809
-
1810
- A `project-context.md` file that:
1811
-
1812
- - Ensures all agents follow the same conventions
1813
- - Prevents inconsistent decisions across stories
1814
- - Captures architecture decisions for implementation
1815
- - Serves as a reference for your project's patterns and rules
1816
-
1817
- ## Tips
1818
-
1819
- :::tip[Best Practices]
1820
-
1821
- - **Focus on the unobvious** — Document patterns agents might miss (e.g., "Use JSDoc on every public class"), not universal practices like "use meaningful variable names."
1822
- - **Keep it lean** — This file is loaded by every implementation workflow. Long files waste context. Exclude content that only applies to narrow scope or specific stories.
1823
- - **Update as needed** — Edit manually when patterns change, or re-generate after significant architecture changes.
1824
- - Works for Quick Flow and full Wizz Method projects alike.

- Quick Dev accepts free-form intent — before, with, or after the invocation. Examples:
1858
-
1859
- ```text
1860
- run quick-dev — Fix the login validation bug that allows empty passwords.
1861
- ```
1862
-
1863
- ```text
1864
- run quick-dev — fix https://github.com/org/repo/issues/42
1865
- ```
1866
-
1867
- ```text
1868
- run quick-dev — implement the intent in _wizz-output/implementation-artifacts/my-intent.md
1869
- ```
1870
-
1871
- ```text
1872
- I think the problem is in the auth middleware, it's not checking token expiry.
1873
- Let me look at it... yeah, src/auth/middleware.ts line 47 skips
1874
- the exp check entirely. run quick-dev
1875
- ```
1876
-
1877
- ```text
1878
- run quick-dev
1879
- > What would you like to do?
1880
- Refactor UserService to use async/await instead of callbacks.
1881
- ```
1882
-
1883
- Plain text, file paths, GitHub issue URLs, bug tracker links — anything the LLM can resolve to a concrete intent.
1884
-
1885
- ### 3. Answer Questions and Approve
1886
-
1887
- Quick Dev may ask clarifying questions or present a short spec for your approval before implementing. Answer its questions and approve when you're satisfied with the plan.
1888
-
1889
- ### 4. Review and Push
1890
-
1891
- Quick Dev implements the change, reviews its own work, patches issues, and commits locally. When it's done, it opens the affected files in your editor.
1892
-
1893
- - Skim the diff to confirm the change matches your intent
1894
- - If something looks off, tell the agent what to fix — it can iterate in the same session
1895
-
1896
- Once satisfied, push the commit. Quick Dev will offer to push and create a PR for you.
1897
-
1898
- :::caution[If Something Breaks]
1899
- If a pushed change causes unexpected issues, use `git revert HEAD` to undo the last commit cleanly. Then start a fresh chat and run Quick Dev again to try a different approach.
1900
- :::
1901
-
1902
- ## What You Get
1903
-
1904
- - Modified source files with the fix or refactoring applied
1905
- - Passing tests (if your project has a test suite)
1906
- - A ready-to-push commit with a conventional commit message
1907
-
1908
- ## Deferred Work
1909
-
1910
- Quick Dev keeps each run focused on a single goal. If your request contains multiple independent goals, or if the review surfaces pre-existing issues unrelated to your change, Quick Dev defers them to a file (`deferred-work.md` in your implementation artifacts directory) rather than trying to tackle everything at once.
1911
-
1912
- Check this file after a run — it's your backlog of things to come back to. Each deferred item can be fed into a fresh Quick Dev run later.
1913
-
1914
- ## When to Upgrade to Formal Planning
1915
-
1916
- Consider using the full Wizz Method when:
1917
-
1918
- - The change affects multiple systems or requires coordinated updates across many files
1919
- - You are unsure about the scope and need requirements discovery first
1920
- - You need documentation or architectural decisions recorded for the team
1921
-
1922
- See [Quick Dev](../explanation/quick-dev.md) for more on how Quick Dev fits into the Wizz Method.

1937
-
1938
- Document sharding splits large markdown files into smaller, organized files based on level 2 headings (`## Heading`).
1939
-
1940
- ### Architecture
1941
-
1942
- ```text
1943
- Before Sharding:
1944
- _wizz-output/planning-artifacts/
1945
- └── PRD.md (large 50k token file)
1946
-
1947
- After Sharding:

1956
-
1957
- ## Steps
1958
-
1959
- ### 1. Run the Shard-Doc Tool
1960
-
1961
- ```bash
1962
- /wizz-shard-doc
1963
- ```
1964
-
1965
- ### 2. Follow the Interactive Process
1966
-
1967
- ```text

1981
- ## How Workflow Discovery Works
1982
-
1983
- Wizz Method workflows use a **dual discovery system**:
1984
-
1985
- 1. **Try whole document first** - Look for `document-name.md`
1986
- 2. **Check for sharded version** - Look for `document-name/index.md`
1987
- 3. **Priority rule** - Whole document takes precedence if both exist - remove the whole document if you want the sharded to be used instead
1988
-
1989
- ## Workflow Support
1990
-
1991
- All BMM workflows support both formats:
1992
-
1993
- - Whole documents
1994
- - Sharded documents
1995
- - Automatic detection
1996
- - Transparent to user

- Use the Wizz Method installer to upgrade from v4 to v6, which includes automatic detection of legacy installations and migration assistance.
2001
-
2002
- ## When to Use This
2003
-
2004
- - You have Wizz Method v4 installed (`.wizz-method` folder)
2005
- - You want to migrate to the new v6 architecture
2006
- - You have existing planning artifacts to preserve
2007
-
2008
- :::note[Prerequisites]
2009
-
2010
- - Node.js 20.12+
2011
- - Existing Wizz Method v4 installation
2012
- :::
2013
-
2014
- ## Steps
2015
-
2016
- ### 1. Run the Installer
2017
-
2018
- Follow the [Installer Instructions](./install-wizz.md).
2019
-
2020
- ### 2. Handle Legacy Installation
2021
-
2022
- When v4 is detected, you can:
2023
-
2024
- - Allow the installer to back up and remove `.wizz-method`
2025
- - Exit and handle cleanup manually
2026
-
2027
- If you named your wizz method folder something else - you will need to manually remove the folder yourself.
2028
-
2029
- ### 3. Clean Up IDE Skills
2030
-
2031
- Manually remove legacy v4 IDE commands/skills - for example if you have Claude Code, look for any nested folders that start with wizz and remove them:
2032
-
2033
- - `.claude/commands/`
2034
-
2035
- The new v6 skills are installed to:
2036
-
2037
- - `.claude/skills/`
2038
-
2039
- ### 4. Migrate Planning Artifacts
2040
-
2041
- **If you have planning documents (Brief/PRD/UX/Architecture):**
2042
-
2043
- Move them to `_wizz-output/planning-artifacts/` with descriptive names:
2044
-
2045
- - Include `PRD` in filename for PRD documents
2046
- - Include `brief`, `architecture`, or `ux-design` accordingly
2047
- - Sharded documents can be in named subfolders
2048
-
2049
- **If you're mid-planning:** Consider restarting with v6 workflows. Use your existing documents as inputs—the new progressive discovery workflows with web search and IDE plan mode produce better results.
2050
-
2051
- ### 5. Migrate In-Progress Development
2052
-
2053
- If you have stories created or implemented:
2054
-
2055
- 1. Complete the v6 installation
2056
- 2. Place `epics.md` or `epics/epic*.md` in `_wizz-output/planning-artifacts/`
2057
- 3. Run the Developer's `wizz-sprint-planning` workflow
2058
- 4. Tell the agent which epics/stories are already complete
2059
-
2060
- ## What You Get
2061
-
2062
- **v6 unified structure:**
2063
-
2064
- ```text

- ## Why a single front door
2100
-
2101
- The site is the only supported install path for the shelf. It keeps the steps current as Gemini and ChatGPT evolve, always points at the newest tagged release, and lets one signup put you on the list for new bundles as they ship.
2102
-
2103
- ## What you'll do on the site
2104
-
2105
- 1. Pick a bundle from the card grid.
2106
- 2. Open the install modal. Switch between the **Gemini Gem** and **ChatGPT GPT** tabs for the platform-specific steps.
2107
- 3. Download the bundle ZIP (one click; one-time free signup for email-only members).
2108
- 4. Follow the inline steps: create the Gem or Custom GPT, upload the knowledge files, paste the instructions block, save.
2109
-
2110
- ## Prerequisites
2111
-
2112
- - **For Gemini Gems**: Gemini Advanced subscription.
2113
- - **For ChatGPT Custom GPTs**: Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan.
2114
- - For bundles that use **Deep Research** (currently Market & Industry Research), enable it from the prompt bar (Tools → Deep Research). Deep Research has its own plan limits.
2115
-
2116
- ## Customize the persona
2117
-
2118
- Each bundle's `INSTRUCTIONS.md` (inside the ZIP) includes a **Persona Swap Example** above the paste boundary. Replace the `[persona]` block in your installed instructions with the swap example to change voice without changing the protocol. You can also write your own persona from scratch; the protocol stays the same.
2119
-
2120
- ## What you get
2121
-
2122
- - A reusable Gem or Custom GPT scoped to one Wizz Method planning capability.
2123
- - Polished artifacts (briefs, PRDs, research reports, UX specs) ready to drop into your IDE for implementation.
2124
- - Planning conversation runs on your existing web LLM subscription instead of metered IDE tokens.
2125
-
2126
- :::caution[Persona drift]
2127
- Web LLMs occasionally drop persona partway through long sessions. If the model starts speaking out of character, remind it of its persona or start a fresh session.
2128
- :::
2129
-
2130
- ## Building your own
2131
-
2132
- To turn an existing Wizz Method skill into a web bundle, use the `bmad-os-skill-to-bundle` utility skill. It produces the bundle files with persona inheritance from the owning agent and a swap-example contrast voice. Submit your bundle to the shelf by opening a PR on [wizz-method](https://github.com/wizzcomms/wizz-method) that adds the bundle directory and an entry in `web-bundles/bundles.json`.

- <document path="explanation/advanced-elicitation.md">
2136
- Make the LLM reconsider what it just generated. You pick a reasoning method, it applies that method to its own output, you decide whether to keep the improvements.
2137
-
2138
- ## What is Advanced Elicitation?
2139
-
2140
- A structured second pass. Instead of asking the AI to "try again" or "make it better," you select a specific reasoning method and the AI re-examines its own output through that lens.
2141
-
2142
- The difference matters. Vague requests produce vague revisions. A named method forces a particular angle of attack, surfacing insights that a generic retry would miss.
2143
-
2144
- ## When to Use It
2145
-
2146
- - After a workflow generates content and you want alternatives
2147
- - When output seems okay but you suspect there's more depth
2148
- - To stress-test assumptions or find weaknesses
2149
- - For high-stakes content where rethinking helps
2150
-
2151
- Workflows offer advanced elicitation at decision points - after the LLM has generated something, you'll be asked if you want to run it.
2152
-
2153
- ## How It Works
2154
-
2155
- 1. LLM suggests 5 relevant methods for your content
2156
- 2. You pick one (or reshuffle for different options)
2157
- 3. Method is applied, improvements shown
2158
- 4. Accept or discard, repeat or continue
2159
-
2160
- ## Built-in Methods
2161
-
2162
- Dozens of reasoning methods are available. A few examples:
2163
-
2164
- - **Pre-mortem Analysis** - Assume the project already failed, work backward to find why
2165
- - **First Principles Thinking** - Strip away assumptions, rebuild from ground truth
2166
- - **Inversion** - Ask how to guarantee failure, then avoid those things
2167
- - **Red Team vs Blue Team** - Attack your own work, then defend it
2168
- - **Socratic Questioning** - Challenge every claim with "why?" and "how do you know?"
2169
- - **Constraint Removal** - Drop all constraints, see what changes, add them back selectively
2170
- - **Stakeholder Mapping** - Re-evaluate from each stakeholder's perspective
2171
- - **Analogical Reasoning** - Find parallels in other domains and apply their lessons
2172
-
2173
- And many more. The AI picks the most relevant options for your content - you choose which to run.
2174
-
2175
- :::tip[Start Here]
2176
- Pre-mortem Analysis is a good first pick for any spec or plan. It consistently finds gaps that a standard review misses.

- <document path="explanation/adversarial-review.md">
2181
- Force deeper analysis by requiring problems to be found.
2182
-
2183
- ## What is Adversarial Review?
2184
-
2185
- A review technique where the reviewer *must* find issues. No "looks good" allowed. The reviewer adopts a cynical stance - assume problems exist and find them.
2186
-
2187
- This isn't about being negative. It's about forcing genuine analysis instead of a cursory glance that rubber-stamps whatever was submitted.
2188
-
2189
- **The core rule:** You must find issues. Zero findings triggers a halt - re-analyze or explain why.
2190
-
2191
- ## Why It Works
2192
-
2193
- Normal reviews suffer from confirmation bias. You skim the work, nothing jumps out, you approve it. The "find problems" mandate breaks this pattern:
2194
-
2195
- - **Forces thoroughness** - Can't approve until you've looked hard enough to find issues
2196
- - **Catches missing things** - "What's not here?" becomes a natural question
2197
- - **Improves signal quality** - Findings are specific and actionable, not vague concerns
2198
- - **Information asymmetry** - Run reviews with fresh context (no access to original reasoning) so you evaluate the artifact, not the intent
2199
-
2200
- ## Where It's Used
2201
-
2202
- Adversarial review appears throughout Wizz Method workflows: code review, implementation readiness checks, spec validation, and others. Sometimes it's a required step, sometimes optional (like advanced elicitation or party mode). The pattern adapts to whatever artifact needs scrutiny.
2203
-
2204
- ## Human Filtering Required
2205
-
2206
- Because the AI is *instructed* to find problems, it will find problems - even when they don't exist. Expect false positives: nitpicks dressed as issues, misunderstandings of intent, or outright hallucinated concerns.
2207
-
2208
- **You decide what's real.** Review each finding, dismiss the noise, fix what matters.
2209
-
2210
- ## Example
2211
-
2212
- Instead of:
2213
-
2214
- > "The authentication implementation looks reasonable. Approved."
2215
-
2216
- An adversarial review produces:
2217
-
2218
- > 1. **HIGH** - `login.ts:47` - No rate limiting on failed attempts
2219
- > 2. **HIGH** - Session token stored in localStorage (XSS vulnerable)
2220
- > 3. **MEDIUM** - Password validation happens client-side only
2221
- > 4. **MEDIUM** - No audit logging for failed login attempts
2222
- > 5. **LOW** - Magic number `3600` should be `SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`
2223
-
2224
- The first review might miss a security vulnerability. The second caught four.
2225
-
2226
- ## Iteration and Diminishing Returns
2227
-
2228
- After addressing findings, consider running it again. A second pass usually catches more. A third isn't always useless either. But each pass takes time, and eventually you hit diminishing returns - just nitpicks and false findings.
2229
-
2230
- :::tip[Better Reviews]

2236
- The Analysis phase (Phase 1) helps you think clearly about your product before committing to building it. Every tool in this phase is optional, but skipping analysis entirely means your PRD is built on assumptions instead of insight.
2237
-
2238
- ## Why Analysis Before Planning?
2239
-
2240
- A PRD answers "what should we build and why?" If you feed it vague thinking, you get a vague PRD — and every downstream document inherits that vagueness. Architecture built on a weak PRD makes wrong technical bets. Stories derived from weak architecture miss edge cases. The cost compounds.
2241
-
2242
- Analysis tools exist to make your PRD sharp. They attack the problem from different angles — creative exploration, market reality, customer clarity, feasibility — so that by the time you sit down with the PM agent, you know what you're building and for whom.
2243
-
2244
- ## The Tools
2245
-
2246
- ### Brainstorming
2247
-
2248
- **What it is.** A facilitated creative session using proven ideation techniques. The AI acts as coach, pulling ideas out of you through structured exercises — not generating ideas for you.
2249
-
2250
- **Why it's here.** Raw ideas need space to develop before they get locked into requirements. Brainstorming creates that space. It's especially valuable when you have a problem domain but no clear solution, or when you want to explore multiple directions before committing.
2251
-
2252
- **When to use it.** You have a vague sense of what you want to build but haven't crystallized the concept. Or you have a concept but want to pressure-test it against alternatives.
2253
-
2254
- See [Brainstorming](./brainstorming.md) for a deeper look at how sessions work.
2255
-
2256
- ### Research (Market, Domain, Technical)
2257
-
2258
- **What it is.** Three focused research workflows that investigate different dimensions of your idea. Market research examines competitors, trends, and user sentiment. Domain research builds subject-matter expertise and terminology. Technical research evaluates feasibility, architecture options, and implementation approaches.
2259
-
2260
- **Why it's here.** Building on assumptions is the fastest way to build something nobody needs. Research grounds your concept in reality — what competitors already exist, what users actually struggle with, what's technically feasible, and what industry-specific constraints you'll face.
2261
-
2262
- **When to use it.** You're entering an unfamiliar domain, you suspect competitors exist but haven't mapped them, or your concept depends on technical capabilities you haven't validated. Run one, two, or all three — each stands alone.
2263
-
2264
- ### Product Brief
2265
-
2266
- **What it is.** A guided discovery session that produces a 1-2 page executive summary of your product concept. The AI acts as a collaborative Business Analyst, helping you articulate the vision, target audience, value proposition, and scope.
2267
-
2268
- **Why it's here.** The product brief is the gentler path into planning. It captures your strategic vision in a structured format that feeds directly into PRD creation. It works best when you already have conviction about your concept — you know the customer, the problem, and roughly what you want to build. The brief organizes and sharpens that thinking.
2269
-
2270
- **When to use it.** Your concept is relatively clear and you want to document it efficiently before creating a PRD. You're confident in the direction and don't need your assumptions aggressively challenged.
2271
-
2272
- ### PRFAQ (Working Backwards)
2273
-
2274
- **What it is.** Amazon's Working Backwards methodology adapted as an interactive challenge. You write the press release announcing your finished product before a single line of code exists, then answer the hardest questions customers and stakeholders would ask. The AI acts as a relentless but constructive product coach.
2275
-
2276
- **Why it's here.** The PRFAQ is the rigorous path into planning. It forces customer-first clarity by making you defend every claim. If you can't write a compelling press release, the product isn't ready. If customer FAQ answers reveal gaps, those are gaps you'd discover much later — and more expensively — during implementation. The gauntlet surfaces weak thinking early, when it's cheapest to fix.
2277
-
2278
- **When to use it.** You want your concept stress-tested before committing resources. You're unsure whether users will actually care. You want to validate that you can articulate a clear, defensible value proposition. Or you simply want the discipline of Working Backwards to sharpen your thinking.
2279
-
2280
- ## Which Should I Use?
2281
-
2282
- | Situation | Recommended tool |
2283
- | --------- | ---------------- |
2284
- | "I have a vague idea, not sure where to start" | Brainstorming |
2285
- | "I need to understand the market before deciding" | Research |
2286
- | "I know what I want to build, just need to document it" | Product Brief |
2287
- | "I want to make sure this idea is actually worth building" | PRFAQ |
2288
- | "I want to explore, then validate, then document" | Brainstorming → Research → PRFAQ or Brief |
2289
-
2290
- Product Brief and PRFAQ both produce input for the PRD — choose one based on how much challenge you want. The brief is collaborative discovery. The PRFAQ is a gauntlet. Both get you to the same destination; the PRFAQ tests whether your concept deserves to get there.
2291
-
2292
- :::tip[Not Sure?]
2293
- Run `wizz-help` and describe your situation. It will recommend the right starting point based on what you've already done and what you're trying to accomplish.

2295
-
2296
- ## What Happens After Analysis?
2297
-
2298
- Analysis outputs feed directly into Phase 2 (Planning). The PRD workflow accepts product briefs, PRFAQ documents, research findings, and brainstorming reports as input — it synthesizes whatever you've produced into structured requirements. The more analysis you do, the sharper your PRD.

2331
- `wizz-checkpoint-preview` is an interactive, LLM-assisted human-in-the-loop review workflow. It walks you through a code change — from purpose and context into details — so you can make an informed decision about whether to ship, rework, or dig deeper.
2332
-
2333
- ![Checkpoint Preview workflow diagram](/diagrams/checkpoint-preview-diagram.png)
2334
-
2335
- ## The Typical Flow
2336
-
2337
- You run `wizz-quick-dev`. It clarifies your intent, builds a spec, implements the change, and when it's done it appends a review trail to the spec file and opens it in your editor. You look at the spec and see the change touched 20 files across several modules.
2338
-
2339
- You could eyeball the diff. But 20 files is where eyeballing starts to fail — you lose the thread, miss a connection between two distant changes, or approve something you didn't fully understand. So instead, you say "checkpoint" and the LLM walks you through it.
2340
-
2341
- That handoff — from autonomous implementation back to human judgment — is the primary use case. Quick-dev runs long with minimal supervision. Checkpoint Preview is where you take back the wheel.
2342
-
2343
- ## Why It Exists
2344
-
2345
- Code review has two failure modes. In one, the reviewer skims the diff, nothing jumps out, and they approve. In the other, they methodically read every file but lose the thread — they see the trees and miss the forest. Both result in the same outcome: the review didn't catch the thing that mattered.
2346
-
2347
- The underlying issue is sequencing. A raw diff presents changes in file order, which is almost never the order that builds understanding. You see a helper function before you know why it exists. You see a schema change before you understand what feature it supports. The reviewer has to reconstruct the author's intent from scattered clues, and that reconstruction is where attention fails.
2348
-
2349
- Checkpoint Preview solves this by making the LLM do the reconstruction work. It reads the diff, the spec (if one exists), and the surrounding codebase, then presents the change in an order designed for comprehension — not for `git diff`.
2350
-
2351
- ## How It Works
2352
-
2353
- The workflow has five steps. Each step builds on the previous one, progressively shifting from "what is this?" toward "should we ship it?"
2354
-
2355
- ### 1. Orientation
2356
-
2357
- The workflow identifies the change (from a PR, commit, branch, spec file, or the current git state) and produces a one-line intent summary plus surface area stats: files changed, modules touched, lines of logic, boundary crossings, and new public interfaces.
2358
-
2359
- This is the "is this what I think it is?" moment. Before reading any code, the reviewer confirms they're looking at the right thing and calibrates their expectations for scope.
2360
-
2361
- ### 2. Walkthrough
2362
-
2363
- The change is organized by **concern** — cohesive design intents like "input validation" or "API contract" — not by file. Each concern gets a short explanation of *why* this approach was chosen, followed by clickable `path:line` stops that the reviewer can follow through the code.
2364
-
2365
- This is the design judgment step. The reviewer evaluates whether the approach is right for the system, not whether the code is correct. Concerns are sequenced top-down: the highest-level intent first, then supporting implementation. The reviewer never encounters a reference to something they haven't seen yet.
2366
-
2367
- ### 3. Detail Pass
2368
-
2369
- After the reviewer understands the design, the workflow surfaces 2-5 spots where a mistake would have the highest blast radius. These are tagged by risk category — `[auth]`, `[schema]`, `[billing]`, `[public API]`, `[security]`, and others — and ordered by how much breaks if they're wrong.
2370
-
2371
- This is not a bug hunt. Automated tests and CI handle correctness. The detail pass activates risk awareness: "here are the places where being wrong costs the most." If the reviewer wants to go deeper on a specific area, they can say "dig into [area]" for a targeted correctness-focused re-review.
2372
-
2373
- If the spec went through adversarial review loops (machine hardening), those findings are surfaced here too — not the bugs that were fixed, but the decisions that the review loop flagged that the reviewer should be aware of.
2374
-
2375
- ### 4. Testing
2376
-
2377
- Suggests 2-5 ways to manually observe the change working. Not automated test commands — manual observations that build confidence no test suite provides. A UI interaction to try, a CLI command to run, an API request to send, with expected results for each.
2378
-
2379
- If the change has no user-visible behavior, it says so. No invented busywork.
2380
-
2381
- ### 5. Wrap-Up
2382
-
2383
- The reviewer makes the call: approve, rework, or keep discussing. If approving a PR, the workflow can help with `gh pr review --approve`. If reworking, it helps diagnose whether the problem was the approach, the spec, or the implementation, and helps draft actionable feedback tied to specific code locations.
2384
-
2385
- ## It's a Conversation, Not a Report
2386
-
2387
- The workflow presents each step as a starting point, not a final word. Between steps — or in the middle of one — you can talk to the LLM, ask questions, challenge its framing, or pull in other skills to get a different perspective:
2388
-
2389
- - **"run advanced elicitation on the error handling"** — push the LLM to reconsider and refine its analysis of a specific area
2390
- - **"party mode on whether this schema migration is safe"** — bring multiple agent perspectives into a focused debate
2391
- - **"run code review"** — generate structured agentic findings with adversarial and edge-case analysis
2392
-
2393
- The checkpoint workflow doesn't lock you into a linear path. It gives you structure when you want it and gets out of the way when you want to explore. The five steps are there to make sure you see the whole picture, but how deep you go at each step — and what tools you bring in — is entirely up to you.
2394
-
2395
- ## The Review Trail
2396
-
2397
- The walkthrough step works best when it has a **Suggested Review Order** — a list of stops the spec author wrote to guide reviewers through the change. When a spec includes this, the workflow uses it directly.
2398
-
2399
- When no author-produced trail exists, the workflow generates one from the diff and codebase context. A generated trail is lower quality than an author-produced one, but far better than reading changes in file order.
2400
-
2401
- ## When to Use It
2402
-
2403
- The primary scenario is the handoff from `wizz-quick-dev`: the implementation is done, the spec file is open in your editor with a review trail appended, and you need to decide whether to ship. Say "checkpoint" and go.
2404
-
2405
- It also works standalone:
2406
-
2407
- - **Reviewing a PR** — especially one with more than a handful of files or cross-cutting changes
2408
- - **Onboarding to a change** — when you need to understand what happened on a branch you didn't write
2409
- - **Sprint review** — the workflow can pick up stories marked `review` in your sprint status file
2410
-
2411
- Invoke it by saying "checkpoint" or "walk me through this change." It works in any terminal, but you'll get more out of it inside an IDE — VS Code, Cursor, or similar — because the workflow produces `path:line` references at every step. In an IDE-embedded terminal those are clickable, so you can jump from file to file as you follow the review trail.
2412
-
2413
- ## What It Is Not
2414
-
2415
- Checkpoint Preview is not a substitute for automated review. It does not run linters, type checkers, or test suites. It does not assign severity scores or produce pass/fail verdicts. It is a reading guide that helps a human apply their judgment where it matters most.

2419
- You hand `wizz-investigate` a crash log, a stack trace, or just a "this used to work, now it doesn't". The skill takes
2420
- over the investigator's discipline for the duration of the run. It does not start fixing. It opens a case file.
2421
-
2422
- Every finding gets graded. Every hypothesis gets a status. Wrong turns are kept, not erased. The deliverable is a

2424

2425
- This page explains why investigation is its own discipline, and what the skill buys you that a regular dev workflow
2426
- doesn't.
2427
-
2428
- ## The Problem With "Just Debug It"
2429
-
2430
- Normal debugging blends three things: looking at evidence, reasoning about cause, and changing code to test the theory.
2431
- When they're blended, two failure modes show up.
2432
-
2433
- The first is **narrative lock-in**. The first plausible story becomes the working theory, and every observation gets
2434
- bent to fit it. The bug stays unfixed until someone gives up and starts over. Hours later.
2435
-
2436
- The second is **evidence amnesia**. You traced something, ruled it out, but didn't write down why. Two days later, with
2437
- fresh eyes, you trace it again. Or worse, a colleague picks up the bug and re-runs the same dead end you already
2438
- eliminated.
2439
-
2440
- The skill's design is a direct response to both.
2441
-
2442
- ## Evidence Grading
2443
-
2444
- Every finding in an investigation is one of three things.
2445
-
2446
- - **Confirmed.** Directly observed in logs, code, or dumps; cited with a specific reference (a `path:line`, a log
2447
- timestamp, a commit hash). If someone asks "how do you know?", you point at the citation.
2448
- - **Deduced.** Logically follows from confirmed evidence; the reasoning chain is shown. If a step in the chain is wrong,
2449
- the deduction is wrong, and you can see exactly which step.
2450
- - **Hypothesized.** Plausible but unconfirmed. States what evidence would confirm or refute, and declares upfront what
2451
- would close it. Hypotheses are explicitly *not facts*.
2452
-
2453
- The grading is not about being humble. It's about making the case file readable. A reader can scan the Confirmed section
2454
- to know what is true, the Deduced section to know what follows, and the Hypothesized section to know what is still open.
2455
- Confusion between the three is the most common reason investigations spiral.
2456
-
2457
- ## Stronghold First
2458
-
2459
- Investigation never starts from a theory. It starts from one piece of confirmed evidence and expands outward. That
2460
- evidence might be a specific error message, a stack frame, or a timestamped log entry.
2461
-
2462
- This is the opposite of how investigations often go. Someone has a hunch, builds a theory, and then hunts for evidence
2463
- that supports it. The hunch can be right; the *method* is fragile because it makes confirmation bias the default.
2464
-
2465
- A stronghold is a fact you can return to when reasoning gets murky. If a deduction takes you somewhere strange, you can
2466
- walk it back to the stronghold and try a different branch. Without one, you don't know which step to undo.
2467
-
2468
- When evidence is sparse, the skill says so and switches to hypothesis-driven exploration: form hypotheses from what's
2469
- available, identify what would test each, present a prioritized data-collection list. Missing evidence is itself a
2470
- finding.
2471
-
2472
- ## Hypothesis Discipline
2473
-
2474
- Hypotheses are never deleted from the case file. When evidence confirms or refutes one, its **Status** field updates
2475
- from Open to Confirmed or Refuted, and a **Resolution** explains what evidence settled it.
2476
-
2477
- This rule has a real cost. Case files grow. The benefit is real too. The full reasoning history becomes part of the
2478
- deliverable. Six months later, when a similar bug surfaces, the next investigator can read the original case file and
2479
- see which paths were already eliminated and why. Without that history, every new investigator re-runs the same dead
2480
- ends.
2481
-
2482
- It also disciplines the present-tense investigator. If you can't delete a wrong hypothesis, you have to disprove it
2483
- with cited evidence. Quietly dropping it when it becomes inconvenient is no longer an option.
2484
-
2485
- ## Challenge the Premise
2486
-
2487
- The user's description of the problem is a hypothesis, not a fact. "The cache is broken" is something a user *believes*.
2488
- Before the skill builds an investigation around it, the technical claims are verified independently. If the evidence
2489
- contradicts the premise, the report says so directly.
2490
-
2491
- This is the forensic instinct: the witness's account is data, not truth. Sometimes the reported bug is real but
2492
- mislabeled. Sometimes the described symptom is downstream of a different cause. Investigations that take the premise as
2493
- gospel diagnose the wrong defect, and the bug returns in a slightly different form.
2494
-
2495
- ## A Calibrated Walk
2496
-
2497
- The skill is one procedure, not two modes. It calibrates how much defect-chasing versus how much area-exploration the
2498
- input demands, on a continuous scale.
2499
-
2500
- A symptom-driven case (a ticket, a crash, an error message, a "this used to work") leans into hypothesis tracking,
2501
- timeline reconstruction, and a fix direction. A no-symptom case (understanding a module before you touch it, evaluating
2502
- reusability, building a mental model) leans into I/O mapping, control-flow filtering, and a verification plan. Most
2503
- real cases sit somewhere between, and the case file reflects whichever balance the evidence required.
2504
-
2505
- The discipline is the same regardless of where on the scale a case lands: stronghold first, evidence grading, hypothesis
2506
- tracking, never erase. The output is always at `{implementation_artifacts}/investigations/{slug}-investigation.md`, with
2507
- sections that don't apply to a given case left empty or omitted.
2508
-
2509
- When a deep bug requires understanding a broader subsystem, the procedure folds in the I/O mapping, control-flow
2510
- filtering, working-backward-from-outputs, and cross-component boundary tracing techniques inline. The area model lands
2511
- in the same case file. There is no mode switch.
2512
-
2513
- ## Methodology Lives in the Skill
2514
-
2515
- The investigator's discipline is a property of the skill itself. Whoever invokes `wizz-investigate` takes on the
2516
- methodology and communication style for the run: clinical precision, evidence-first language, no hedging, case-file
2517
- framing. When the skill ends, the caller returns to its prior voice. No persona swap, just a tone shift from the skill's
2518
- principles.
2519
-
2520
- This matters because investigation and implementation reward different instincts. Investigators are slow and precise.
2521
- Implementers are fast and confident. The same brain doing both in one session tends to do neither well. The skill
2522
- carves out the investigative posture inline, without a context switch to a separate identity.
2523
-
2524
- ## What You Get
2525
-
2526
- A completed investigation file:
2527
-
2528
- - Separates Confirmed findings (with citations) from Deductions and Hypotheses
2529
- - Preserves all hypotheses ever formed, with their final Status and Resolution
2530
- - Reconstructs a timeline of events from multiple evidence sources
2531
- - Identifies data gaps and what they would resolve
2532
- - Provides actionable conclusions grounded in evidence
2533
- - Includes a reproduction plan when a root cause is identified
2534
- - Maintains an investigation backlog of paths still to explore
2535
-
2536
- Hand it to an engineer who was not present and they understand what happened, what is known, and what remains uncertain.
2537
- That's the bar.
2538
-
2539
- ## The Bigger Idea
2540
-
2541
- Most "AI debugging" today blends evidence, reasoning, and code changes into one stream of plausible-looking text. The
2542
- signal is hard to find, the dead ends repeat, and the case file, if there is one, is a chat log nobody wants to read.
2543
-
2544
- `wizz-investigate` treats investigation as a discipline with its own deliverable. Evidence has a grade. Hypotheses have
2545
- a status. Wrong turns are documented, not erased. The case file outlives the session.
2546
-
2547
- When the next bug shows up that looks like one you've seen before, you have somewhere to start that isn't a blank
2548
- prompt.

- You say "Hey Mary, let's brainstorm," and Mary activates. She greets you by name, in the language you configured, with her distinctive persona. She reminds you that `wizz-help` is always available. Then she skips the menu entirely and drops straight into brainstorming — because your intent was clear.
2553
-
2554
- This page explains what's actually happening and why the Wizz Method is designed this way.
2555
-
2556
- ## The Three-Legged Stool
2557
-
2558
- The Wizz Method's agent model rests on three primitives that compose:
2559
-
2560
- | Primitive | What it provides | Where it lives |
2561
- |---|---|---|
2562
- | **Skill** | Capability — a discrete thing the assistant can do (brainstorm, draft a PRD, implement a story) | `.claude/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md` (or your IDE's equivalent) |
2563
- | **Named agent** | Persona continuity — a recognizable identity that wraps a menu of related skills with consistent voice, principles, and visual cues | Skills whose directory starts with `wizz-agent-*` |
2564
- | **Customization** | Makes it yours — overrides that reshape an agent's behavior, add MCP integrations, swap templates, layer in org conventions | `_wizz/custom/{skill-name}.toml` (committed team overrides) and `.user.toml` (personal, gitignored) |
2565
-
2566
- Pull any leg away and the experience collapses:
2567
-
2568
- - Skills without agents → capability lists the user has to navigate by name or code
2569
- - Agents without skills → personas with nothing to do
2570
- - No customization → every user gets the same out-of-box behavior, forcing forks for any org-specific need
2571
-
2572
- ## What Named Agents Buy You
2573
-
2574
- The Wizz Method ships six named agents, each anchored to a phase of the Wizz Method:
2575
-
2576
- | Agent | Phase | Module |
2577
- |---|---|---|
2578
- | 📊 **Mary**, Business Analyst | Analysis | market research, brainstorming, product briefs, PRFAQs |
2579
- | 📚 **Paige**, Technical Writer | Analysis | project documentation, diagrams, doc validation |
2580
- | 📋 **John**, Product Manager | Planning | PRD creation, epic/story breakdown, implementation readiness |
2581
- | 🎨 **Sally**, UX Designer | Planning | UX design specifications |
2582
- | 🏗️ **Winston**, System Architect | Solutioning | technical architecture, alignment checks |
2583
- | 💻 **Amelia**, Senior Engineer | Implementation | story execution, quick-dev, code review, sprint planning, [forensic investigation](./forensic-investigation.md) |
2584
-
2585
- They each have a hardcoded identity (name, title, domain) and a customizable layer (role, principles, communication style, icon, menu). You can rewrite Mary's principles or add menu items; you can't rename her — that's deliberate. Brand recognition survives customization so "hey Mary" always activates the analyst, regardless of how a team has shaped her behavior.
2586
-
2587
- ## The Activation Flow
2588
-
2589
- When you invoke a named agent, eight steps run in order:
2590
-
2591
- 1. **Resolve the agent block** — merge the shipped `customize.toml` with team and personal overrides, via a Python resolver using stdlib `tomllib`
2592
- 2. **Execute prepend steps** — any pre-flight behavior the team configured
2593
- 3. **Adopt persona** — hardcoded identity plus customized role, communication style, principles
2594
- 4. **Load persistent facts** — org rules, compliance notes, optionally files loaded via a `file:` prefix (e.g., `file:{project-root}/docs/project-context.md`)
2595
- 5. **Load config** — user name, communication language, output language, artifact paths
2596
- 6. **Greet** — personalized, in the configured language, with the agent's emoji prefix so you can see at a glance who's speaking
2597
- 7. **Execute append steps** — any post-greet setup the team configured
2598
- 8. **Dispatch or present the menu** — if your opening message maps to a menu item, go directly; otherwise render the menu and wait for input
2599
-
2600
- Step 8 is where intent meets capability. "Hey Mary, let's brainstorm" skips rendering because `wizz-brainstorming` is an obvious match for `BP` on Mary's menu. If you say something ambiguous, she asks once, briefly, not as a confirmation ritual. If nothing fits, she continues the conversation normally.
2601
-
2602
- ## Why Not Just a Menu?
2603
-
2604
- Menus force the user to meet the tool halfway. You have to remember that brainstorming lives under code `BP` on the analyst agent, not the PM agent, and know which persona owns which capabilities. That's cognitive overhead the tool is making you carry.
2605
-
2606
- Named agents invert it. You say what you want, to whom, in whatever words feel natural. The agent knows who they are and what they do. When your intent is clear enough, they just go.
2607
-
2608
- The menu is still there as a fallback — show it when you're exploring, skip it when you're not.
2609
-
2610
- ## Why Not Just a Blank Prompt?
2611
-
2612
- Blank prompts assume you know the magic words. "Help me brainstorm" might work, but "let's ideate on my SaaS idea" might not, and the results depend on how you phrased the ask. You become responsible for prompt engineering.
2613
-
2614
- Named agents add structure without closing off freedom. The persona stays consistent, the capabilities are discoverable, and `wizz-help` is always one command away. You don't have to guess what the agent can do, and you don't need a manual to use it either.
2615
-
2616
- ## Customization as a First-Class Citizen
2617
-
2618
- The customization model is what lets this scale beyond a single developer.
2619
-
2620
- Every agent ships a `customize.toml` with sensible defaults. Teams commit overrides to `_wizz/custom/wizz-agent-{role}.toml`. Individuals can layer personal preferences in `.user.toml` (gitignored). The resolver merges all three at activation time with predictable structural rules.
2621
-
2622
- Most users never hand-author these files. The `wizz-customize` skill walks through picking the target, choosing agent vs workflow scope, authoring the override, and verifying the merge — so the customization surface stays accessible to anyone who understands their intent, not just those fluent in TOML.
2623
-
2624
- Concrete example: a team commits a single file telling Amelia to always use the Context7 MCP tool for library docs and to fall back to Linear when a story isn't in the local epics list. Every dev workflow Amelia dispatches (dev-story, quick-dev, create-story, code-review) inherits that behavior, with no source edits or per-workflow duplication required.
2625
-
2626
- There's also a second customization surface for *cross-cutting* concerns: the central `_wizz/config.toml` and `_wizz/config.user.toml` (both installer-owned, rebuilt from each module's `module.yaml`) plus `_wizz/custom/config.toml` (team, committed) and `_wizz/custom/config.user.toml` (personal, gitignored) for overrides. This is where the **agent roster** lives — the lightweight descriptors that roster consumers like `wizz-party-mode`, `wizz-retrospective`, and `wizz-advanced-elicitation` read to know who's available and how to embody them. Rebrand an agent org-wide with a team override; add fictional voices (Kirk, Spock, a domain expert persona) as personal experiments via the `.user.toml` override — without touching any skill folder. The per-skill file shapes how Mary *behaves* when she activates; the central config shapes how other skills *see* her when they look at the field.

2633
-
2634
- ## The Bigger Idea
2635
-
2636
- Most AI assistants today are either menus or prompts, and both shift cognitive load onto the user. Named agents plus customizable skills let you talk to a teammate who already knows the work, and let your organization shape that teammate without forking.
2637
-
2638
- The next time you type "Hey Mary, let's brainstorm" and she just gets on with it, notice what didn't happen. There was no slash command, no menu to navigate, no awkward reminder of what she can do. That absence is the design.

2642
- Party mode puts your AI agents in one room and lets them talk, to each other and to you. This page explains what a party is, the four ways it can run, and how to build your own cast of personas instead of using the installed agents.
2643
-
2644
- ## What is Party Mode?
2645
-
2646
- Run `wizz-party-mode` and the Wizz Method agents you already have installed gather in one conversation: the PM, Architect, Dev, UX Designer, and whoever else your selected modules bring. That installed lineup is your default party, ready with no setup. They answer in character, agree, disagree, and build on each other. You steer the room. Ask a follow-up, push back, pull one voice forward, or change the subject. The conversation runs until you end it.
2647
-
2648
- It works because the personas hold different priorities. The Architect guards the design, the PM guards scope, the Dev guards what's actually buildable. Put them in the same room and the tradeoff surfaces now, in the conversation, instead of three weeks into the sprint.
2649
-
2650
- **Good for:**
2651
-
2652
- - Decisions with real tradeoffs
2653
- - Brainstorming and "what are we missing?"
2654
- - Post-mortems and retrospectives
2655
- - Pressure-testing a plan before you commit
2656
-
2657
- Party mode is also a fast and genuinely fun way to brainstorm, since the personas have opinions and they clash. And you can start a party from inside any other workflow: mid-brainstorm, mid-PRD, while coding, working a sales angle, or shaping a creative piece. Any time you want more perspectives on what's in front of you, pull in a room without dropping what you were doing.

2660
- **You:** Monolith or microservices for the MVP?
2661
-
2662
- **Architect:** Start monolith. Microservices add operating cost you don't need at a thousand users.
2663
-
2664
- **PM:** Agreed. Time to market matters more than scaling we can't prove yet.
2665
-
2666
- **Dev:** Monolith, but with clean module boundaries so we can split a service out later without a rewrite.
2667

2668
-
2669
- ## Starting a party
2670
-
2671
- Invoke the skill and say what you want; it works out whether you mean to run a party or build one.
2672
-
2673
- | Goal | Type this |
2674
- | --- | --- |
2675
- | Start a party in the default mode | `/wizz-party-mode` |
2676
- | Start in a specific mode | `/wizz-party-mode --mode auto` (also `session`, `subagent`, `agent-team`) |
2677
- | Open a saved party | `/wizz-party-mode --party code-review-crew` |
2678
- | Conjure a cast on the spot | "party mode with the bridge crew of the Enterprise" |
2679
- | Create or add a party | "party mode, create a new party" |
2680
- | Edit an existing party | "party mode, edit the writers' room" |
2681
- | Customize the skill | `/wizz-customize wizz-party-mode` |
2682
-
2683
- ## How a party runs
2684
-
2685
- A party can run in four modes. One mode is active per session, and it decides who does the thinking: a single model voicing everyone, or separate agents reasoning on their own.
2686
-
2687
- | Mode | What it does | Reach for it when |
2688
- | --- | --- | --- |
2689
- | `session` | Default. One model voices every persona inline. Fast and fully conversational. | Most conversations — banter, brainstorming, quick back-and-forth. |
2690
- | `auto` | Voices inline for light rounds, spawns independent agents only when independence changes the answer. | You want speed most of the time but real independence on the hard rounds. |
2691
- | `subagent` | Spawns a separate agent for each persona every substantive round, so no single mind colors them all. | Honest reviews and focus groups, where the voices must not bleed together. |
2692
- | `agent-team` | Stands the personas up as a persistent team that address each other directly. Claude Code only. | A live, hands-off round-table where the agents talk among themselves. |
2693
-
2694
- The choice matters because one model voicing five personas can quietly converge: they share a mind. Spawning real agents keeps their reasoning separate, which is the entire point of a review panel or a focus group. `session` is the cheapest and most fluid. The spawning modes cost more but protect independence, and `auto` aims for both by spawning only when a round needs it.
2695
-
2696
- `session` is the default, and every other mode falls back to it when a harness can't do the rest: `agent-team` drops to `subagent`, then to `session`. The configured default lives in your customization, and a runtime override wins for that session.
2697
-
2698
- :::tip[Override for one session]
2699
- Start a party with `--mode subagent` (or `auto`, `agent-team`, `session`) to override the configured default just for that run.
2700
- :::
2701
-
2702
- ## Custom parties
2703
-
2704
- Out of the box, a party uses your installed Wizz Method agents. The larger use is building your own cast from any set of personas you can describe, then saving it to reuse. You author a party through the same skill. It detects whether you want to run one or build one, and writes the result to your overrides through [wizz-customize](../how-to/customize-wizz.md).
2705
-
2706
- Party mode is customizable like every Wizz Method skill. Run `/wizz-customize wizz-party-mode` to set its defaults directly: pin any group you've built as the default party so it loads without a flag, choose which mode it starts in, and set any house rules the room should hold for the whole session.
2707
-
2708
- Two ideas do most of the work.
2709
-
2710
- **Personas** are what make a member unmistakable: how they talk, what they value, how they argue, their pet peeves and blind spots. "Skeptical CFO" is a placeholder. "Won't approve anything without a payback under eighteen months, and says so in the first thirty seconds" is a persona. That detail is what gives a voice you'd recognize with the name labels hidden.
2711
-
2712
- **Scenes** set the stage. A scene is one freeform line: the setting, what's happening, who's hostile to whom, who pushes hardest. The same members play it differently each time, so you define a person once and drop them into a bridge crew on duty, the same crew off-duty in the lounge, or a hostile buyer panel. Members combine into named groups, and you can pin one group as the default room.
2713
-
2714
- ### Shapes a party can take
2715
-
2716
- | Shape | What it is |
2717
- | --- | --- |
2718
- | Themed cast | Famous investors, a TV ensemble — distinct voices gathered around a topic. |
2719
- | One-off personas | A persona or two added to the pool, no group needed. |
2720
- | Focus group from data | Hand it customer or survey data; it clusters people by what drives their behavior and builds representative personas. Pair it with `subagent` mode so the customers stay independent. |
2721
- | Review panel | Purpose-built critical lenses that argue about what matters. The shipped Code Review Crew is one. |
2722
- | Open-cast room | No fixed roster. The scene names a universe and the room is cast on the fly as the topic shifts. |
2723
-
2724
- A focus group is the case that pays off most. Feed in real profiles and you get a standing panel of representative customers to test an idea against before you build it, each reacting from their own goals and budget instead of agreeing with the last voice.
2725
-
2726
- ## Parties you could build
2727
-
2728
- A party is only personas and a scene, so the range is wide, and none of it needs a new skill or module:
2729
-
2730
- - A founder squad to stress-test a startup idea.
2731
- - A compliance team to find the holes before an audit does.
2732
- - The authors of the Agile Manifesto, debating a software concept.
2733
- - A room of comedians as a writing-partner group.
2734
- - Great minds of the past, to work through a question in philosophy or untangle a hard problem.
2735
- - A business management team to plan the quarter.
2736
-
2737
- These are starting points. Any set of voices you can describe becomes a party: write the personas, give the room a scene, and you have it.
2738
-
2739
- ## The Code Review Crew
2740
-
2741
- Your default party is the agents your installed modules provide. The Code Review Crew is a custom party the Wizz Method ships alongside that default — a working template to study before you build your own, not a replacement for it. It's a review panel: five lenses that attack a change from different angles and argue about what actually matters, instead of rubber-stamping it.
2742
-
2743
- | Member | Lens |
2744
- | --- | --- |
2745
- | Vex | Security — threat-models everything and names the concrete exploit path. |
2746
- | Grumbal | The adversary — assumes the code is broken and sets out to prove it. |
2747
- | Boundary | Edge cases — every branch, null, race, oversized input, odd timezone. |
2748
- | Yui | The craftsman — simplicity, naming, no needless cleverness or duplication. |
2749
- | Dana | The pragmatist — counters the perfectionists and ranks what's real versus a nit. |
2750
-
2751
- The crew ships defined but inactive. The members sit in the pool and cost nothing until you summon the group, and they never crowd your default room. Run it with `subagent` mode so each lens reviews on its own before the five clash over the findings.
2752
-
2753
- ## Steering the conversation
2754
-
2755
- You drive the room the whole way:
2756
-
2757
- - Bring someone in: "Bring in the UX designer."
2758
- - Go deep on one voice: "Winston, take that apart." A direct ask is the cue for one persona to stretch out.
2759
- - Switch rooms mid-session: "Switch to the writers' room" swaps the active group and carries the thread over.
2760
- - Summon anyone by name, even a custom member who isn't in the current room.
2761
-
2762
- Whichever mode is running, the orchestrator presents the result as one conversation rather than a stack of separate answers, and it keeps the personas in character — it won't break the fourth wall to narrate the mechanism.
2763
-
2764
- :::tip[Mix more than one room]
2765
- You aren't limited to a single group. Pull members from several parties into the same conversation, or name a cast on the spot, and let them mix. Picture the Golden Girls thrown into an architecture review with Martin Fowler and Linus Torvalds, sparring over a change request: you can imagine how that goes.
2766
- :::
2767
-
2768
- ## A keepsake of the session
2769
-
2770
- When you wrap up, the orchestrator offers a keepsake: a single self-contained HTML document of the session to keep or share. It lays the conversation out by persona rather than dumping a raw transcript. Decline it and the party simply ends.
2771
-
2772
- :::tip[Better decisions]
2773
- The value of a party is the disagreement. Diverse perspectives in one room catch what a single line of thinking misses.

- When multiple AI agents implement different parts of a system, they can make conflicting technical decisions. Architecture documentation prevents this by establishing shared standards.
2779
-
2780
- ## Common Conflict Types
2781
-
2782
- ### API Style Conflicts
2783
-
2784
- Without architecture:
2785
- - Agent A uses REST with `/users/{id}`
2786
- - Agent B uses GraphQL mutations
2787
- - Result: Inconsistent API patterns, confused consumers
2788
-
2789
- With architecture:
2790
- - ADR specifies: "Use GraphQL for all client-server communication"
2791
- - All agents follow the same pattern
2792
-
2793
- ### Database Design Conflicts
2794
-
2795
- Without architecture:
2796
- - Agent A uses snake_case column names
2797
- - Agent B uses camelCase column names
2798
- - Result: Inconsistent schema, confusing queries
2799
-
2800
- With architecture:
2801
- - Standards document specifies naming conventions
2802
- - All agents follow the same patterns
2803
-
2804
- ### State Management Conflicts
2805
-
2806
- Without architecture:
2807
- - Agent A uses Redux for global state
2808
- - Agent B uses React Context
2809
- - Result: Multiple state management approaches, complexity
2810
-
2811
- With architecture:
2812
- - ADR specifies state management approach
2813
- - All agents implement consistently
2814
-
2815
- ## How Architecture Prevents Conflicts
2816
-
2817
- ### 1. Explicit Decisions via ADRs
2818
-
2819
- Every significant technology choice is documented with:
2820
- - Context (why this decision matters)
2821
- - Options considered (what alternatives exist)
2822
- - Decision (what we chose)
2823
- - Rationale (why we chose it)
2824
- - Consequences (trade-offs accepted)
2825
-
2826
- ### 2. FR/NFR-Specific Guidance
2827
-
2828
- Architecture maps each functional requirement to technical approach:
2829
- - FR-001: User Management → GraphQL mutations
2830
- - FR-002: Mobile App → Optimized queries
2831
-
2832
- ### 3. Standards and Conventions
2833
-
2834
- Explicit documentation of:
2835
- - Directory structure
2836
- - Naming conventions
2837
- - Code organization
2838
- - Testing patterns
2839
-
2840
- ## Architecture as Shared Context
2841
-
2842
- Think of architecture as the shared context that all agents read before implementing:
2843
-
2844
- ```text
2845
- PRD: "What to build"
2846
-
2847
- Architecture: "How to build it"
2848
-
2849
- Agent A reads architecture → implements Epic 1
2850
- Agent B reads architecture → implements Epic 2
2851
- Agent C reads architecture → implements Epic 3
2852
-
2853
- Result: Consistent implementation
2854
- ```
2855
-
2856
- ## Key ADR Topics
2857
-
2858
- Common decisions that prevent conflicts:
2859
-
2860
- | Topic | Example Decision |
2861
- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
2862
- | API Style | GraphQL vs REST vs gRPC |
2863
- | Database | PostgreSQL vs MongoDB |
2864
- | Auth | JWT vs Sessions |
2865
- | State Management | Redux vs Context vs Zustand |
2866
- | Styling | CSS Modules vs Tailwind vs Styled Components |
2867
- | Testing | Jest + Playwright vs Vitest + Cypress |

2886
- The `project-context.md` file is your project's implementation guide for AI agents. Similar to a "constitution" in other development systems, it captures the rules, patterns, and preferences that ensure consistent code generation across all workflows.
2887
-
2888
- ## What It Does
2889
-
2890
- AI agents make implementation decisions constantly — which patterns to follow, how to structure code, what conventions to use. Without clear guidance, they may:
2891
- - Follow generic best practices that don't match your codebase
2892
- - Make inconsistent decisions across different stories
2893
- - Miss project-specific requirements or constraints
2894
-
2895
- The `project-context.md` file solves this by documenting what agents need to know in a concise, LLM-optimized format.
2896
-
2897
- ## How It Works
2898
-
2899
- Every implementation workflow automatically loads `project-context.md` if it exists. The architect workflow also loads it to respect your technical preferences when designing the architecture.
2900
-
2901
- **Loaded by these workflows:**
2902
- - `wizz-create-architecture` — respects technical preferences during solutioning
2903
- - `wizz-create-story` — informs story creation with project patterns
2904
- - `wizz-dev-story` — guides implementation decisions
2905
- - `wizz-code-review` — validates against project standards
2906
- - `wizz-quick-dev` — applies patterns when implementing specs
2907
- - `wizz-sprint-planning`, `wizz-retrospective`, `wizz-correct-course` — provides project-wide context
2908
-
2909
- ## When to Create It
2910
-
2911
- The `project-context.md` file is useful at any stage of a project:
2912
-
2913
- | Scenario | When to Create | Purpose |
2914
- |----------|----------------|---------|
2915
- | **New project, before architecture** | Manually, before `wizz-create-architecture` | Document your technical preferences so the architect respects them |
2916
- | **New project, after architecture** | Via `wizz-generate-project-context` or manually | Capture architecture decisions for implementation agents |
2917
- | **Existing project** | Via `wizz-generate-project-context` | Discover existing patterns so agents follow established conventions |
2918
- | **Quick Flow project** | Before or during `wizz-quick-dev` | Ensure quick implementation respects your patterns |
2919
-
2920
- :::tip[Recommended]
2921
- For new projects, create it manually before architecture if you have strong technical preferences. Otherwise, generate it after architecture to capture those decisions.

2923
-
2924
- ## What Goes In It
2925
-
2926
- The file has two main sections:
2927
-
2928
- ### Technology Stack & Versions
2929
-
2930
- Documents the frameworks, languages, and tools your project uses with specific versions:
2931
-
2932
- ```markdown
2933
- ## Technology Stack & Versions
2934
-
2935
- - Node.js 20.x, TypeScript 5.3, React 18.2
2936
- - State: Zustand (not Redux)
2937
- - Testing: Vitest, Playwright, MSW
2938
- - Styling: Tailwind CSS with custom design tokens
2939
- ```
2940
-
2941
- ### Critical Implementation Rules
2942
-
2943
- Documents patterns and conventions that agents might otherwise miss:
2944
-
2945
- ```markdown
2946
- ## Critical Implementation Rules
2947
-
2948
- **TypeScript Configuration:**
2949
- - Strict mode enabled — no `any` types without explicit approval
2950
- - Use `interface` for public APIs, `type` for unions/intersections
2951
-
2952
- **Code Organization:**
2953
- - Components in `/src/components/` with co-located `.test.tsx`
2954
- - Utilities in `/src/lib/` for reusable pure functions
2955
- - API calls use the `apiClient` singleton — never fetch directly
2956
-
2957
- **Testing Patterns:**
2958
- - Unit tests focus on business logic, not implementation details
2959
- - Integration tests use MSW to mock API responses
2960
- - E2E tests cover critical user journeys only
2961
-
2962
- **Framework-Specific:**
2963
- - All async operations use the `handleError` wrapper for consistent error handling
2964
- - Feature flags accessed via `featureFlag()` from `@/lib/flags`
2965
- - New routes follow the file-based routing pattern in `/src/app/`
2966
- ```
2967
-
2968
- Focus on what's **unobvious** — things agents might not infer from reading code snippets. Don't document standard practices that apply universally.
2969
-
2970
- ## Creating the File
2971
-
2972
- You have three options:
2973
-
2974
- ### Manual Creation
2975
-
2976
- Create the file at `_wizz-output/project-context.md` and add your rules:
2977
-
2978
- ```bash
2979
- # In your project root
2980
- mkdir -p _wizz-output
2981
- touch _wizz-output/project-context.md
2982
- ```
2983
-
2984
- Edit it with your technology stack and implementation rules. The architect and implementation workflows will automatically find and load it.
2985
-
2986
- ### Generate After Architecture
2987
-
2988
- Run the `wizz-generate-project-context` workflow after completing your architecture:
2989
-
2990
- ```bash
2991
- wizz-generate-project-context
2992
- ```
2993
-
2994
- This scans your architecture document and project files to generate a context file capturing the decisions made.
2995
-
2996
- ### Generate for Existing Projects
2997
-
2998
- For existing projects, run `wizz-generate-project-context` to discover existing patterns:
2999
-
3000
- ```bash
3001
- wizz-generate-project-context
3002
- ```
3003
-
3004
- The workflow analyzes your codebase to identify conventions, then generates a context file you can review and refine.
3005
-
3006
- ## Why It Matters
3007
-
3008
- Without `project-context.md`, agents make assumptions that may not match your project:
3009
-
3010
- | Without Context | With Context |
3011
- |----------------|--------------|
3012
- | Uses generic patterns | Follows your established conventions |
3013
- | Inconsistent style across stories | Consistent implementation |
3014
- | May miss project-specific constraints | Respects all technical requirements |
3015
- | Each agent decides independently | All agents align with same rules |
3016
-
3017
- This is especially important for:
3018
- - **Quick Flow** — skips PRD and architecture, so context file fills the gap
3019
- - **Team projects** — ensures all agents follow the same standards
3020
- - **Existing projects** — prevents breaking established patterns
3021
-
3022
- ## Editing and Updating
3023
-
3024
- The `project-context.md` file is a living document. Update it when:
3025
-
3026
- - Architecture decisions change
3027
- - New conventions are established
3028
- - Patterns evolve during implementation
3029
- - You identify gaps from agent behavior
3030
-
3031
- You can edit it manually at any time, or re-run `wizz-generate-project-context` to update it after significant changes.
3032
-
3033
- :::note[File Location]
3034
- The default location is `_wizz-output/project-context.md`. Workflows search for it there, and also check `**/project-context.md` anywhere in your project.

- Intent in, code changes out, with as few human-in-the-loop turns as possible — without sacrificing quality.
3040
-
3041
- It lets the model run longer between checkpoints, then brings the human back only when the task cannot safely continue without human judgment or when it is time to review the end result.
3042
-
3043
- ![Quick Dev workflow diagram](/diagrams/quick-dev-diagram.png)
3044
-
3045
- ## Why This Exists
3046
-
3047
- Human-in-the-loop turns are necessary and expensive.
3048
-
3049
- Current LLMs still fail in predictable ways: they misread intent, fill gaps with confident guesses, drift into unrelated work, and generate noisy review output. At the same time, constant human intervention limits development velocity. Human attention is the bottleneck.
3050
-
3051
- `wizz-quick-dev` rebalances that tradeoff. It trusts the model to run unsupervised for longer stretches, but only after the workflow has created a strong enough boundary to make that safe.
3052
-
3053
- ## The Core Design
3054
-
3055
- ### 1. Compress intent first
3056
-
3057
- The workflow starts by having the human and the model compress the request into one coherent goal. The input can begin as a rough expression of intent, but before the workflow runs autonomously it has to become small enough, clear enough, and contradiction-free enough to execute.
3058
-
3059
- Intent can come in many forms: a couple of phrases, a bug tracker link, output from plan mode, text copied from a chat session, or even a story number from Wizz Method's own `epics.md`. In that last case, the workflow will not understand Wizz Method story-tracking semantics, but it can still take the story itself and run with it.
3060
-
3061
- This workflow does not eliminate human control. It relocates it to a small number of high-value moments:
3062
-
3063
- - **Intent clarification** - turning a messy request into one coherent goal without hidden contradictions
3064
- - **Spec approval** - confirming that the frozen understanding is the right thing to build
3065
- - **Review of the final product** - the primary checkpoint, where the human decides whether the result is acceptable at the end
3066
-
3067
- ### 2. Route to the smallest safe path
3068
-
3069
- Once the goal is clear, the workflow decides whether this is a true one-shot change or whether it needs the fuller path. Small, zero-blast-radius changes can go straight to implementation. Everything else goes through planning so the model has a stronger boundary before it runs longer on its own.
3070
-
3071
- ### 3. Run longer with less supervision
3072
-
3073
- After that routing decision, the model can carry more of the work on its own. On the fuller path, the approved spec becomes the boundary the model executes against with less supervision, which is the whole point of the design.
3074
-
3075
- ### 4. Diagnose failure at the right layer
3076
-
3077
- If the implementation is wrong because the intent was wrong, patching the code is the wrong fix. If the code is wrong because the spec was weak, patching the diff is also the wrong fix. The workflow is designed to diagnose where the failure entered the system, go back to that layer, and regenerate from there.
3078
-
3079
- Review findings are used to decide whether the problem came from intent, spec generation, or local implementation. Only truly local problems get patched locally.
3080
-
3081
- ### 5. Bring the human back only when needed
3082
-
3083
- The intent interview is human-in-the-loop, but it is not the same kind of interruption as a recurring checkpoint. The workflow tries to keep those recurring checkpoints to a minimum. After the initial shaping of intent, the human mainly comes back when the workflow cannot safely continue without judgment and at the end, when it is time to review the result.
3084
-
3085
- - **Intent-gap resolution** - stepping back in when review proves the workflow could not safely infer what was meant
3086
-
3087
- Everything else is a candidate for longer autonomous execution. That tradeoff is deliberate. Older patterns spend more human attention on continuous supervision. Quick Dev spends more trust on the model, but saves human attention for the moments where human reasoning has the highest leverage.
3088
-
3089
- ## Why the Review System Matters
3090
-
3091
- The review phase is not just there to find bugs. It is there to route correction without destroying momentum.
3092
-
3093
- This workflow works best on a platform that can spawn subagents, or at least invoke another LLM through the command line and wait for a result. If your platform does not support that natively, you can add a skill to do it. Context-free subagents are a cornerstone of the review design.
3094
-
3095
- Agentic reviews often go wrong in two ways:
3096
-
3097
- - They generate too many findings, forcing the human to sift through noise.
3098
- - They derail the current change by surfacing unrelated issues and turning every run into an ad hoc cleanup project.
3099
-
3100
- Quick Dev addresses both by treating review as triage.
3101
-
3102
- Some findings belong to the current change. Some do not. If a finding is incidental rather than causally tied to the current work, the workflow can defer it instead of forcing the human to handle it immediately. That keeps the run focused and prevents random tangents from consuming the budget of attention.
3103
-
3104
- That triage will sometimes be imperfect. That is acceptable. It is usually better to misjudge some findings than to flood the human with thousands of low-value review comments. The system is optimizing for signal quality, not exhaustive recall.

3108
- Run the planning side of the Wizz Method in your web LLM subscription, then bring the artifacts into your IDE.
3109
-
3110
- ## What is a Web Bundle?
3111
-
3112
- A web bundle is a Wizz Method skill repackaged for installation as a **Google Gemini Gem** or **ChatGPT Custom GPT**. Each bundle includes a `SKILL.md` protocol you upload as a knowledge file, an `INSTRUCTIONS.md` block you paste into the Gem or GPT instructions, and any data files the skill needs (CSVs, templates, validation checklists, additionally progressively disclosed content). The persona lives in the pasted instructions; the protocol lives in the knowledge file. Swap personas without touching the protocol.
3113
-
3114
- Setup is not one-click, but the steps are guided. **Install from [bmadcode.com/web-bundles](https://bmadcode.com/web-bundles/)**. The site lists every bundle in a card grid, shows you the Gemini and ChatGPT install steps inline, and hands you the ZIP download. That is the supported install path; the pattern is the same across the shelf, so once you've installed one the next one is mechanical.
3115
-
3116
- V4 of the Wizz Method shipped web bundles. V6 brings them back, rewritten for the current Gem and Custom GPT platforms with Canvas, Deep Research, and image generation in mind.
3117
-
3118
- ## Why use them
3119
-
3120
- Planning work and implementation work want different tools. Web bundles let each use the right one.
3121
-
3122
- | Concern | Web LLM (Gem or GPT) | IDE (Claude Code, Cursor) |
3123
- | --- | --- | --- |
3124
- | Cost model | Flat-rate subscription | Metered tokens |
3125
- | Strongest at | Conversation, Canvas, Deep Research, images | Files, terminal, codebase context |
3126
- | Best for | Brainstorming, briefs, PRDs, research | Implementation, refactoring, code review |
3127
-
3128
- Running a full PRD or market research conversation in an IDE burns tokens that a Gem or Custom GPT handles for the price of your existing subscription. The polished artifact then drops into your repo and Claude Code or Cursor takes it from there.
3129
-
3130
- :::tip[Plan in the web, build in the IDE]
3131
- The cost saving compounds on longer engagements. A PRFAQ pass and three rounds of research in a Gem cost zero marginal dollars; the same work in an IDE is real spend.
3132
- :::
3133
-
3134
- ## What's in the shelf
3135
-
3136
- The current set of bundles covers the analysis and planning phases:
3137
-
3138
- | Bundle | Phase | Persona lineage |
3139
- | --- | --- | --- |
3140
- | Brainstorming Coach | Analysis | Osborn (default), Minto (swap) |
3141
- | Product Brief Coach | Analysis | Mary (Wizz analyst) |
3142
- | PRFAQ Coach | Analysis | Working Backwards (Bezos) |
3143
- | PRD Coach | Planning | Cagan |
3144
- | UX Coach | Planning | Norman |
3145
- | Market & Industry Research | Analysis | Porter and Christensen |
3146
-
3147
- Each bundle carries a default persona inherited from its owning Wizz Method agent (where one exists) and a contrasting swap example to demonstrate the voice change pattern.
3148
-
3149
- ## How a session works
3150
-
3151
- 1. **Open the Gem or Custom GPT.** Persona greets in character and opens conversational discovery.
3152
- 2. **Discover scope.** The persona asks what you're trying to do, what you have on hand, what constraints apply. No form fill.
3153
- 3. **Do the work in Canvas.** The protocol opens Canvas at session start and updates it continuously. Mermaid diagrams and HTML tables go in alongside the prose.
3154
- 4. **Hand off.** When you're done, you have a Canvas document you can export, paste into your repo, or feed to a Wizz Method skill in your IDE for the next phase.
3155
-
3156
- For bundles that integrate Deep Research (currently Market & Industry Research), the persona drafts a Deep Research brief mid-session for you to paste into Gemini's or ChatGPT's Deep Research mode, then ingests the returned report.
3157
-
3158
- ## When to use a web bundle
3159
-
3160
- - You're doing the upfront thinking for a project and you want a focused tool with persona, Canvas, and Deep Research.
3161
- - You want to keep IDE token spend for actual coding.
3162
- - You're sharing the planning artifact with collaborators who don't have your IDE setup.
3163
-
3164
- ## When to stay in the IDE
3165
-
3166
- - The work needs to read or modify code in your repo.
3167
- - You're already mid-implementation and want to keep context.
3168
- - You don't have a Gemini Advanced or ChatGPT Plus subscription.
3169
-
3170
- ## Updating and customizing
3171
-
3172
- Bundles evolve. When you pull a newer version of a bundle, the typical update is to its knowledge files (the `SKILL.md` protocol and any attached templates, CSVs, or validation checklists). Re-upload those into your Gem or Custom GPT to take the update. The instructions block usually does not change.
3173
-
3174
- If you want to customize a bundle for your team or your voice, do it in the **instructions block** you pasted into the Gem or GPT, not in the knowledge files. The instructions block is where the persona, preferences, and any local overrides live; the knowledge files are the protocol the bundle ships with. Keeping customization in the instructions block means future updates are a swap-the-attachments operation, not a merge-your-edits-back-in operation.
3175
-
3176
- :::tip[Customize the instructions, attach the knowledge]
3177
- Persona swaps, default user name, team-specific guardrails, preferred phrasing: all of that belongs in the pasted instructions block. The knowledge files stay stock so you can refresh them without losing your changes.
3178
- :::
3179
-
3180
- ## Building your own
3181
-
3182
- Web bundles are generated from Wizz Method skills using the `bmad-os-skill-to-bundle` utility skill. Point it at any Wizz Method skill folder and it produces the bundle files with persona inheritance from the owning agent.
3183
-
3184
- Install any bundle from [bmadcode.com/web-bundles](https://bmadcode.com/web-bundles/).

- <document path="explanation/why-solutioning-matters.md">
3188
- Phase 3 (Solutioning) translates **what** to build (from Planning) into **how** to build it (technical design). This phase prevents agent conflicts in multi-epic projects by documenting architectural decisions before implementation begins.
3189
-
3190
- ## The Problem Without Solutioning
3191
-
3192
- ```text
3193
- Agent 1 implements Epic 1 using REST API
3194
- Agent 2 implements Epic 2 using GraphQL
3195
- Result: Inconsistent API design, integration nightmare
3196
- ```
3197
-
3198
- When multiple agents implement different parts of a system without shared architectural guidance, they make independent technical decisions that may conflict.
3199
-
3200
- ## The Solution With Solutioning
3201
-
3202
- ```text
3203
- architecture workflow decides: "Use GraphQL for all APIs"
3204
- All agents follow architecture decisions
3205
- Result: Consistent implementation, no conflicts
3206
- ```
3207
-
3208
- By documenting technical decisions explicitly, all agents implement consistently and integration becomes straightforward.
3209
-
3210
- ## Solutioning vs Planning
3211
-
3212
- | Aspect | Planning (Phase 2) | Solutioning (Phase 3) |
3213
- | -------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------- |
3214
- | Question | What and Why? | How? Then What units of work? |
3215
- | Output | FRs/NFRs (Requirements) | Architecture + Epics/Stories |
3216
- | Agent | PM | Architect → PM |
3217
- | Audience | Stakeholders | Developers |
3218
- | Document | PRD (FRs/NFRs) | Architecture + Epic Files |
3219
- | Level | Business logic | Technical design + Work breakdown |
3220
-
3221
- ## Key Principle
3222
-
3223
- **Make technical decisions explicit and documented** so all agents implement consistently.
3224
-
3225
- This prevents:
3226
- - API style conflicts (REST vs GraphQL)
3227
- - Database design inconsistencies
3228
- - State management disagreements
3229
- - Naming convention mismatches
3230
- - Security approach variations

-
3247
- Skipping solutioning on complex projects leads to:

-
3249
- - **Integration issues** discovered mid-sprint
3250
- - **Rework** due to conflicting implementations
3251

- ## Default Agents
3261
-
3262
- This page lists the default BMM (Agile suite) agents that install with the Wizz Method, along with their skill IDs, menu triggers, and primary workflows. Each agent is invoked as a skill.
3263
-
3264
- ## Notes
3265
-
3266
- - Each agent is available as a skill, generated by the installer. The skill ID (e.g., `wizz-agent-dev`) is used to invoke the agent.
3267
- - Triggers are the short menu codes (e.g., `PRD`) and fuzzy matches shown in each agent menu.
3268
- - QA test generation is handled by the `wizz-qa-generate-e2e-tests` workflow skill, available through the Developer agent. The full Test Architect (TEA) lives in its own module.
3269
-
3270
- | Agent | Skill ID | Triggers | Primary workflows |

3278
-
3279
- ## Trigger Types
3280
-
3281
- Agent menu triggers use two different invocation types. Knowing which type a trigger uses helps you provide the right input.
3282
-
3283
- ### Workflow triggers (no arguments needed)
3284
-
3285
- Most triggers load a structured workflow file. Type the trigger code and the agent starts the workflow, prompting you for input at each step.
3286
-
3287
- Examples: `PRD` (Create, update, or validate PRD), `DS` (Dev Story), `CA` (Create Architecture), `QD` (Quick Dev)
3288
-
3289
- ### Conversational triggers (arguments required)
3290
-
3291
- Some triggers start a free-form conversation instead of a structured workflow. These expect you to describe what you need alongside the trigger code.
3292
-
3293
- | Agent | Trigger | What to provide |
3294
- | --- | --- | --- |
3295
- | Technical Writer (Paige) | `WD` | Description of the document to write |
3296
- | Technical Writer (Paige) | `MG` | Diagram description and type (sequence, flowchart, etc.) |
3297
- | Technical Writer (Paige) | `VD` | Document to validate and focus areas |
3298
- | Technical Writer (Paige) | `EC` | Concept name to explain |
3299
-
3300
- **Example:**
3301
-
3302
- ```text
3303
- WD Write a deployment guide for our Docker setup
3304
- MG Create a sequence diagram showing the auth flow
3305
- EC Explain how the module system works

3310
- Skills are pre-built prompts that load agents, run workflows, or execute tasks inside your IDE. The Wizz Method installer generates them from your installed modules at install time. If you later add, remove, or change modules, re-run the installer to keep skills in sync (see [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)).
3311
-
3312
- ## Skills vs. Agent Menu Triggers
3313
-
3314
- The Wizz Method offers two ways to start work, and they serve different purposes.
3315
-
3316
- | Mechanism | How you invoke it | What happens |
3317
- | --- | --- | --- |
3318
- | **Skill** | Type the skill name (e.g. `wizz-help`) in your IDE | Directly loads an agent, runs a workflow, or executes a task |
3319
- | **Agent menu trigger** | Load an agent first, then type a short code (e.g. `DS`) | The agent interprets the code and starts the matching workflow while staying in character |
3320
-
3321
- Agent menu triggers require an active agent session. Use skills when you know which workflow you want. Use triggers when you are already working with an agent and want to switch tasks without leaving the conversation.
3322
-
3323
- ## How Skills Are Generated
3324
-
3325
- When you run `npx wizz-method install`, the installer reads the manifests for every selected module and writes one skill per agent, workflow, task, and tool. Each skill is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file that instructs the AI to load the corresponding source file and follow its instructions.
3326
-
3327
- The installer uses templates for each skill type:
3328
-
3329
- | Skill type | What the generated file does |
3330
- | --- | --- |
3331
- | **Agent launcher** | Loads the agent persona file, activates its menu, and stays in character |
3332
- | **Workflow skill** | Loads the workflow config and follows its steps |
3333

3336
- :::note[Re-running the installer]
3337
- If you add or remove modules, run the installer again. It regenerates all skill files to match your current module selection.
3338
- :::
3339
-
3340
- ## Where Skill Files Live
3341
-
3342
- The installer writes skill files into an IDE-specific directory inside your project. The exact path depends on which IDE you selected during installation.
3343
-
3344
- | IDE / CLI | Skills directory |
3345
- | --- | --- |
3346
- | Claude Code | `.claude/skills/` |
3347
- | Cursor | `.agents/skills/` |
3348
- | Windsurf | `.agents/skills/` |
3349
- | Other IDEs | See the installer output for the target path |
3350
-
3351
- Each skill is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file. For example, a Claude Code installation looks like:
3352
-
3353
- ```text
3354
- .claude/skills/
3355
- ├── wizz-help/
3356
- │ └── SKILL.md
3357
- ├── wizz-prd/
3358
- │ └── SKILL.md
3359
- ├── wizz-agent-dev/
3360
- │ └── SKILL.md
3361
- └── ...
3362
- ```
3363
-
3364
- The directory name determines the skill name in your IDE. For example, the directory `wizz-agent-dev/` registers the skill `wizz-agent-dev`.
3365
-
3366
- ## How to Discover Your Skills
3367
-
3368
- Type the skill name in your IDE to invoke it. Some platforms require you to enable skills in settings before they appear.
3369
-
3370
- Run `wizz-help` for context-aware guidance on your next step.
3371
-
3372
- :::tip[Quick discovery]
3373
- The generated skill directories in your project are the canonical list. Open them in your file explorer to see every skill with its description.

3375
-
3376
- ## Skill Categories
3377
-
3378
- ### Agent Skills
3379
-
3380
- Agent skills load a specialized AI persona with a defined role, communication style, and menu of workflows. Once loaded, the agent stays in character and responds to menu triggers.
3381
-
3382
- | Example skill | Agent | Role |
3383
- | --- | --- | --- |
3384
- | `wizz-agent-dev` | Amelia (Developer) | Implements stories with strict adherence to specs |
3385
- | `wizz-agent-pm` | John (Product Manager) | Creates and validates PRDs |
3386
- | `wizz-agent-architect` | Winston (Architect) | Designs system architecture |
3387
-
3388
- See [Agents](./agents.md) for the full list of default agents and their triggers.
3389
-
3390
- ### Workflow Skills
3391
-
3392
- Workflow skills run a structured, multi-step process without loading an agent persona first. They load a workflow configuration and follow its steps.
3393
-
3394
- | Example skill | Purpose |
3395
- | --- | --- |
3396
- | `wizz-product-brief` | Create or update a product brief — guided discovery when your concept is clear |
3397
- | `wizz-prfaq` | [Working Backwards PRFAQ](../explanation/analysis-phase.md#prfaq-working-backwards) challenge to stress-test your product concept |
3398
- | `wizz-prd` | Create, update, or validate a Product Requirements Document |
3399
- | `wizz-ux` | Design user experience |
3400
- | `wizz-create-architecture` | Design system architecture |
3401
- | `wizz-create-epics-and-stories` | Create epics and stories |
3402
- | `wizz-dev-story` | Implement a story |
3403
- | `wizz-code-review` | Run a code review |
3404
- | `wizz-quick-dev` | Unified quick flow — clarify intent, plan, implement, review, present |
3405
-
3406
- See [Workflow Map](./workflow-map.md) for the complete workflow reference organized by phase.
3407
-
3408
- ### Task and Tool Skills
3409
-
3410
- Tasks and tools are standalone operations that do not require an agent or workflow context.
3411
-
3412
- **Wizz-Help: Your Intelligent Guide**
3413
-
3414
- `wizz-help` is your primary interface for discovering what to do next. It inspects your project, understands natural language queries, and recommends the next required or optional step based on your installed modules.
3415
-
3416
- :::note[Example]
3417
- ```
3418
- wizz-help
3419
- wizz-help I have a SaaS idea and know all the features. Where do I start?
3420
- wizz-help What are my options for UX design?
3421
- ```
3422
- :::
3423
-
3424
- **Other Core Tasks and Tools**
3425
-
3426
- The core module includes 12 built-in tools — specs, reviews, brainstorming, customization, document management, and more. See [Core Tools](./core-tools.md) for the complete reference.
3427
-
3428
- ## Naming Convention
3429
-
3430
- All skills use the `wizz-` prefix followed by a descriptive name (e.g., `wizz-agent-dev`, `wizz-prd`, `wizz-help`). See [Modules](./modules.md) for available modules.
3431
-
3432
- ## Troubleshooting
3433
-
3434
- **Skills not appearing after install.** Some platforms require skills to be explicitly enabled in settings. Check your IDE's documentation or ask your AI assistant how to enable skills. You may also need to restart your IDE or reload the window.
3435
-
3436
- **Expected skills are missing.** The installer only generates skills for modules you selected. Run `npx wizz-method install` again and verify your module selection. Check that the skill files exist in the expected directory.
3437
-
3438
- **Skills from a removed module still appear.** The installer does not delete old skill files automatically. Remove the stale directories from your IDE's skills directory, or delete the entire skills directory and re-run the installer for a clean set.
3439
- </document>
3440
-
3441
- <document path="reference/core-tools.md">
3442
- Every Wizz Method installation includes a set of core skills that can be used in conjunction with any anything you are doing — standalone tasks and workflows that work across all projects, all modules, and all phases. These are always available regardless of which optional modules you install.
3443
-
3444
- :::tip[Quick Path]
3445
- Run any core tool by typing its skill name (e.g., `wizz-help`) in your IDE. No agent session required.

3465
- ## wizz-help
3466
-
3467
- **Your intelligent guide to what comes next.** — Inspects your project state, detects what's been done, and recommends the next required or optional step.
3468
-
3469
- **Use it when:**
3470
-
3471
- - You finished a workflow and want to know what's next
3472
- - You're new to the Wizz Method and need orientation
3473
- - You're stuck and want context-aware advice
3474
- - You installed new modules and want to see what's available
3475
-
3476
- **How it works:**
3477
-
3478
- 1. Scans your project for existing artifacts (PRD, architecture, stories, etc.)
3479
- 2. Detects which modules are installed and their available workflows
3480
- 3. Recommends next steps in priority order — required steps first, then optional
3481
- 4. Presents each recommendation with the skill command and a brief description
3482
-
3483
- **Input:** Optional query in natural language (e.g., `wizz-help I have a SaaS idea, where do I start?`)
3484
-
3485
- **Output:** Prioritized list of recommended next steps with skill commands
3486
-
3487
- ## wizz-brainstorming
3488
-
3489
- **Generate diverse ideas through interactive creative techniques.** — A facilitated brainstorming session that loads proven ideation methods from a technique library and guides you toward 100+ ideas before organizing.
3490
-
3491
- **Use it when:**
3492
-
3493
- - You're starting a new project and need to explore the problem space
3494
- - You're stuck generating ideas and need structured creativity
3495
- - You want to use proven ideation frameworks (SCAMPER, reverse brainstorming, etc.)
3496
-
3497
- **How it works:**
3498
-
3499
- 1. Sets up a brainstorming session with your topic
3500
- 2. Loads creative techniques from a method library
3501
- 3. Guides you through technique after technique, generating ideas
3502
- 4. Applies anti-bias protocol — shifts creative domain every 10 ideas to prevent clustering
3503
- 5. Produces an append-only session document with all ideas organized by technique
3504
-
3505
- **Input:** Brainstorming topic or problem statement, optional context file
3506
-
3507
- **Output:** `brainstorming-session-{date}.md` with all generated ideas
3508
-
3509
- :::note[Quantity Target]
3510
- The magic happens in ideas 50–100. The workflow encourages generating 100+ ideas before organization.
3511
- :::
3512
-
3513
- ## wizz-party-mode
3514
-
3515
- **Orchestrate multi-agent group discussions.** — Loads all installed Wizz Method agents and facilitates a natural conversation where each agent contributes from their unique expertise and personality.
3516
-
3517
- **Use it when:**
3518
-
3519
- - You need multiple expert perspectives on a decision
3520
- - You want agents to challenge each other's assumptions
3521
- - You're exploring a complex topic that spans multiple domains
3522
-
3523
- **How it works:**
3524
-
3525
- 1. Loads the agent manifest with all installed agent personalities
3526
- 2. Analyzes your topic to select 2–3 most relevant agents
3527
- 3. Agents take turns contributing, with natural cross-talk and disagreements
3528
- 4. Rotates agent participation to ensure diverse perspectives over time
3529
- 5. Exit with `goodbye`, `end party`, or `quit`
3530
-
3531
- **Input:** Discussion topic or question, along with specification of personas you would like to participate (optional)
3532
-
3533
- **Output:** Real-time multi-agent conversation with maintained agent personalities
3534
-
3535
- ## wizz-spec
3536
-
3537
- **Distill any intent input into the canonical SPEC contract for downstream work.** Takes a brief, PRD, GDD, RFC, brain dump, transcript, UX folder, or mixed multi-source input and produces a `SPEC.md` carrying the five-field kernel (Why, Capabilities, Constraints, Non-goals, Success signal) plus companion files for load-bearing content that does not fit the kernel.
3538
-
3539
- **Use it when:**
3540
-
3541
- - You need to lock the WHAT before the HOW for any kind of work (software, game design, research, editorial, policy, business).
3542
- - You want a LLM Optimized succinct, no-fluff contract that downstream skills can consume without re-reading every upstream artifact.
3543
- - You want to validate or update an existing spec.
3544
-
3545
- **How it works:**
3546
-
3547
- 1. Reads the input and any ancillary linked materials.
3548
- 2. Distills into the five-field kernel using a configurable template; routes overflow into appropriately-named companions.
3549
- 3. Runs a two-pass self-validate (coherence rules, then preservation of every load-bearing source claim).
3550
- 4. Writes `SPEC.md`, sibling companions, and a `.decision-log.md` under `{output_folder}/specs/spec-{slug}/`.
3551
-
3552
- Spec Law enforces eight rules: capabilities carry both intent and success; intents are WHAT not HOW; constraints actually bend decisions; non-goals are explicit; success signals are concrete; capability IDs are stable; every load-bearing source claim is preserved; prose is lean.
3553
-
3554
- **Input:**
3555
-
3556
- - `input` (required) — path or inline text. Vague idea, brain dump, PRD, GDD, RFC, brief, transcript, mockup folder, mixed multi-source.
3557
- - `slug` (optional) — required only when input is sparse and no slug is derivable from a source filename.
3558
- - `target_spec_path` (optional) — set to update an existing spec instead of creating a new one.
3559
-
3560
- **Output:** Spec folder containing `SPEC.md`, any companion files, and a `.decision-log.md`. Headless callers receive a JSON response with the result status and the list of files written or modified.
3561
-
3562
- :::note[Mutation contract]
3563
- `wizz-spec` is the only writer of `SPEC.md` and of spec-authored companions. Other skills produce their own native artifacts and invoke `wizz-spec` headless when they need to express intent as the canonical contract or propose updates.
3564
- :::
3565
-
3566
- ## wizz-advanced-elicitation
3567
-
3568
- **Push LLM output through iterative refinement methods.** — Selects from a library of elicitation techniques to systematically improve content through multiple passes.
3569
-
3570
- **Use it when:**
3571
-
3572
- - LLM output feels shallow or generic
3573
- - You want to explore a topic from multiple analytical angles
3574
- - You're refining a critical document and want deeper thinking
3575
-
3576
- **How it works:**
3577
-
3578
- 1. Loads method registry with 5+ elicitation techniques
3579
- 2. Selects 5 best-fit methods based on content type and complexity
3580
- 3. Presents an interactive menu — pick a method, reshuffle, or list all
3581
- 4. Applies the selected method to enhance the content
3582
- 5. Re-presents options for iterative improvement until you select "Proceed"
3583
-
3584
- **Input:** Content section to enhance
3585
-
3586
- **Output:** Enhanced version of the content with improvements applied
3587
-
3588
- ## wizz-review-adversarial-general
3589
-
3590
- **Cynical review that assumes problems exist and searches for them.** — Takes a skeptical, jaded reviewer perspective with zero patience for sloppy work. Looks for what's missing, not just what's wrong.
3591
-
3592
- **Use it when:**
3593
-
3594
- - You need quality assurance before finalizing a deliverable
3595
- - You want to stress-test a spec, story, or document
3596
- - You want to find gaps in coverage that optimistic reviews miss
3597
-
3598
- **How it works:**
3599
-
3600
- 1. Reads the content with a cynical, critical perspective
3601
- 2. Identifies issues across completeness, correctness, and quality
3602
- 3. Searches specifically for what's missing — not just what's present and wrong
3603
- 4. Must find a minimum of 10 issues or re-analyzes deeper
3604
-
3605
- **Input:**
3606
-
3607
- - `content` (required) — Diff, spec, story, doc, or any artifact
3608
- - `also_consider` (optional) — Additional areas to keep in mind
3609
-
3610
- **Output:** Markdown list of 10+ findings with descriptions
3611
-
3612
- ## wizz-review-edge-case-hunter
3613
-
3614
- **Walk every branching path and boundary condition, report only unhandled cases.** — Pure path-tracing methodology that mechanically derives edge classes. Orthogonal to adversarial review — method-driven, not attitude-driven.
3615
-
3616
- **Use it when:**
3617
-
3618
- - You want exhaustive edge case coverage for code or logic
3619
- - You need a complement to adversarial review (different methodology, different findings)
3620
- - You're reviewing a diff or function for boundary conditions
3621
-
3622
- **How it works:**
3623
-
3624
- 1. Enumerates all branching paths in the content
3625
- 2. Derives edge classes mechanically: missing else/default, unguarded inputs, off-by-one, arithmetic overflow, implicit type coercion, race conditions, timeout gaps
3626
- 3. Tests each path against existing guards
3627
- 4. Reports only unhandled paths — silently discards handled ones
3628
-
3629
- **Input:**
3630
-
3631
- - `content` (required) — Diff, full file, or function
3632
- - `also_consider` (optional) — Additional areas to keep in mind
3633
-
3634
- **Output:** JSON array of findings, each with `location`, `trigger_condition`, `guard_snippet`, and `potential_consequence`
3635
-
3636
- :::note[Complementary Reviews]
3637
- Run both `wizz-review-adversarial-general` and `wizz-review-edge-case-hunter` together for orthogonal coverage. The adversarial review catches quality and completeness issues; the edge case hunter catches unhandled paths.
3638
- :::
3639
-
3640
- ## wizz-editorial-review-prose
3641
-
3642
- **Clinical copy-editing focused on communication clarity.** — Reviews text for issues that impede comprehension. Applies Microsoft Writing Style Guide baseline. Preserves author voice.

3645
-
3646
- - You've drafted a document and want to polish the writing
3647
- - You need to ensure clarity for a specific audience
3648
- - You want communication fixes without style opinion changes
3649
-
3650
- **How it works:**
3651
-
3652
- 1. Reads the content, skipping code blocks and frontmatter
3653
- 2. Identifies communication issues (not style preferences)
3654
- 3. Deduplicates same issues across multiple locations
3655
- 4. Produces a three-column fix table
3656
-
3657
- **Input:**
3658
-
3659
- - `content` (required) — Markdown, plain text, or XML
3660
- - `style_guide` (optional) — Project-specific style guide
3661
- - `reader_type` (optional) — `humans` (default) for clarity/flow, or `llm` for precision/consistency
3662
-
3663
- **Output:** Three-column markdown table: Original Text | Revised Text | Changes
3664
-
3665
- ## wizz-editorial-review-structure
3666
-
3667
- **Structural editing — proposes cuts, merges, moves, and condensing.** — Reviews document organization and proposes substantive changes to improve clarity and flow before copy editing.
3668
-
3669
- **Use it when:**
3670
-
3671
- - A document was produced from multiple subprocesses and needs structural coherence
3672
- - You want to reduce document length while preserving comprehension
3673
- - You need to identify scope violations or buried critical information
3674

3691
-
3692
- ## wizz-shard-doc
3693
-
3694
- **Split large markdown files into organized section files.** — Uses level-2 headers as split points to create a folder of self-contained section files with an index.
3695
-
3696
- **Use it when:**
3697
-
3698
- - A markdown document has grown too large to manage effectively (500+ lines)
3699
- - You want to break a monolithic doc into navigable sections
3700
- - You need separate files for parallel editing or LLM context management
3701
-
3702
- **How it works:**
3703
-
3704
- 1. Validates the source file exists and is markdown
3705
- 2. Splits on level-2 (`##`) headers into numbered section files
3706
- 3. Creates an `index.md` with section manifest and links
3707
- 4. Prompts you to delete, archive, or keep the original
3708
-
3709
- **Input:** Source markdown file path, optional destination folder
3710
-
3711
- **Output:** Folder with `index.md` and `01-{section}.md`, `02-{section}.md`, etc.
3712
-
3713
- ## wizz-index-docs
3714
-
3715
- **Generate or update an index of all documents in a folder.** — Scans a directory, reads each file to understand its purpose, and produces an organized `index.md` with links and descriptions.
3716
-
3717
- **Use it when:**
3718
-
3719
- - You need a lightweight index for quick LLM scanning of available docs
3720
- - A documentation folder has grown and needs an organized table of contents
3721
- - You want an auto-generated overview that stays current
3722
-
3723
- **How it works:**
3724
-
3725
- 1. Scans the target directory for all non-hidden files
3726
- 2. Reads each file to understand its actual purpose
3727
- 3. Groups files by type, purpose, or subdirectory
3728

3833
- ## Which Should You Use?
3834
-
3835
- | Factor | Built-in QA | TEA Module |
3836
- | --- | --- | --- |
3837
- | **Best for** | Small-medium projects, quick coverage | Large projects, regulated or complex domains |
3838
- | **Setup** | Nothing to install -- included in BMM | Install separately via `npx wizz-method install` |
3839
- | **Approach** | Generate tests fast, iterate later | Plan first, then generate with traceability |
3840
- | **Test types** | API and E2E tests | API, E2E, ATDD, NFR, and more |
3841
- | **Strategy** | Happy path + critical edge cases | Risk-based prioritization (P0-P3) |
3842
- | **Workflow count** | 1 (Automate) | 9 (design, ATDD, automate, review, trace, and others) |
3843
-
3844
- :::tip[Start with built-in QA]
3845
- Most projects should start with the built-in QA workflow. If you later need test strategy, quality gates, or requirements traceability, install TEA alongside it.
3846
- :::
3847
-
3848
- ## Built-in QA Workflow
3849
-
3850
- The built-in QA workflow (`wizz-qa-generate-e2e-tests`) is part of the BMM (Agile suite) module, available through the Developer agent. It generates working tests quickly using your project's existing test framework -- no configuration or additional installation required.
3851
-
3852
- **Trigger:** `QA` (via the Developer agent) or `wizz-qa-generate-e2e-tests`
3853
-
3854
- ### What It Does
3855
-
3856
- The QA workflow (Automate) walks through five steps:
3857
-
3858
- 1. **Detect test framework** -- scans `package.json` and existing test files for your framework (Jest, Vitest, Playwright, Cypress, or any standard runner). If none exists, analyzes the project stack and suggests one.
3859
- 2. **Identify features** -- asks what to test or auto-discovers features in the codebase.
3860
- 3. **Generate API tests** -- covers status codes, response structure, happy path, and 1-2 error cases.
3861
- 4. **Generate E2E tests** -- covers user workflows with semantic locators and visible-outcome assertions.
3862
- 5. **Run and verify** -- executes the generated tests and fixes failures immediately.
3863
-
3864
- The workflow produces a test summary saved to your project's implementation artifacts folder.
3865
-
3866
- ### Test Patterns
3867
-
3868
- Generated tests follow a "simple and maintainable" philosophy:
3869
-
3870
- - **Standard framework APIs only** -- no external utilities or custom abstractions
3871
- - **Semantic locators** for UI tests (roles, labels, text rather than CSS selectors)
3872
- - **Independent tests** with no order dependencies
3873
- - **No hardcoded waits or sleeps**
3874
- - **Clear descriptions** that read as feature documentation
3875
-
3876
- :::note[Scope]
3877
- The QA workflow generates tests only. For code review and story validation, use the Code Review workflow (`CR`) instead.
3878
- :::
3879
-
3880
- ### When to Use Built-in QA
3881
-
3882
- - Quick test coverage for a new or existing feature
3883
- - Beginner-friendly test automation without advanced setup
3884
- - Standard test patterns that any developer can read and maintain
3885
- - Small-medium projects where comprehensive test strategy is unnecessary
3886
-
3887
- ## Test Architect (TEA) Module
3888
-
3889
- TEA is a standalone module that provides an expert agent (Murat) and nine structured workflows for enterprise-grade testing. It goes beyond test generation into test strategy, risk-based planning, quality gates, and requirements traceability.
3890
-
3891
- - **Documentation:** [TEA Module Docs](https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise/)
3892
- - **Install:** `npx wizz-method install` and select the TEA module
3893
- - **npm:** [`bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise)
3894
-
3895
- ### What TEA Provides
3896
-
3897
- | Workflow | Purpose |
3898
- | --- | --- |
3899
- | Test Design | Create a comprehensive test strategy tied to requirements |
3900
- | ATDD | Acceptance-test-driven development with stakeholder criteria |
3901
- | Automate | Generate tests with advanced patterns and utilities |
3902
- | Test Review | Validate test quality and coverage against strategy |
3903
- | Traceability | Map tests back to requirements for audit and compliance |
3904
- | NFR Assessment | Evaluate non-functional requirements (performance, security) |
3905
- | CI Setup | Configure test execution in continuous integration pipelines |
3906
- | Framework Scaffolding | Set up test infrastructure and project structure |
3907
- | Release Gate | Make data-driven go/no-go release decisions |
3908
-
3909
- TEA also supports P0-P3 risk-based prioritization and optional integrations with Playwright Utils and MCP tooling.
3910
-
3911
- ### When to Use TEA
3912
-
3913
- - Projects that require requirements traceability or compliance documentation
3914
- - Teams that need risk-based test prioritization across many features
3915
- - Enterprise environments with formal quality gates before release
3916
- - Complex domains where test strategy must be planned before tests are written
3917
- - Projects that have outgrown the built-in QA's single-workflow approach
3918
-
3919
- ## How Testing Fits into Workflows
3920
-
3921
- The QA Automate workflow appears in Phase 4 (Implementation) of the Wizz Method workflow map. It is designed to run **after a full epic is complete** — once all stories in an epic have been implemented and code-reviewed. A typical sequence:
3922
-
3923
- 1. For each story in the epic: implement with Dev (`DS`), then validate with Code Review (`CR`)
3924
- 2. After the epic is complete: generate tests with `QA` (via the Developer agent) or TEA's Automate workflow
3925
- 3. Run retrospective (`wizz-retrospective`) to capture lessons learned
3926
-
3927
- The built-in QA workflow works directly from source code without loading planning documents (PRD, architecture). TEA workflows can integrate with upstream planning artifacts for traceability.
3928
-
3929
- For more on where testing fits in the overall process, see the [Workflow Map](./workflow-map.md).

3933
- The Wizz Method (BMM) is a module in the Wizz Ecosystem, targeted at following the best practices of context engineering
3934
- and planning. AI agents work best with clear, structured context. The BMM system builds that context progressively
3935
- across 4 distinct phases - each phase, and multiple workflows optionally within each phase, produce documents that
3936
- inform the next, so agents always know what to build and why.
3937
-
3938
- The rationale and concepts come from agile methodologies that have been used across the industry with great success as a
3939
- mental framework.
3940
-
3941
- If at any time you are unsure what to do, the `wizz-help` skill will help you stay on track or know what to do next. You
3942
- can always refer to this for reference also - but `wizz-help` is fully interactive and much quicker if you have already
3943
- installed the Wizz Method. Additionally, if you are using different modules that have extended the Wizz Method or added
3944
- other complementary non-extension modules - `wizz-help` evolves to know all that is available to give you the best
3945
- in-the-moment advice.
3946
-
3947
- Final important note: Every workflow below can be run directly with your tool of choice via skill or by loading an agent
3948
- first and using the entry from the agents menu.

- ## Phase 2: Planning
3969
-
3970
- Define what to build and for whom.

3976
-
3977
- :::tip[Three intents in one skill]
3978
- `wizz-prd` handles the full PRD lifecycle. State your intent when invoking or the skill will ask:
3979
-
3980
- - **Create** — new PRD from scratch via coached discovery; produces `prd.md`, `addendum.md`, and `decision-log.md`
3981
- - **Update** — reconcile an existing PRD with a change signal, surfacing conflicts before applying changes
3982
- - **Validate** — critique a PRD against a configurable checklist and produce a structured HTML findings report
3983
- :::
3984
-
3985
- :::tip[Upstream: `wizz-product-brief`]
3986
- `wizz-product-brief` (Phase 1) produces a `product-brief.md` that `wizz-prd` can source-extract during Discovery, reducing re-explanation and keeping the two documents aligned. Neither skill requires the other — start with `wizz-prd` directly if you already know what you're building.
3987
- :::
3988

4021
-
4022
- ## Context Management
4023
-
4024
- Each document becomes context for the next phase. The PRD tells the architect what constraints matter. The architecture
4025
- tells the dev agent which patterns to follow. Story files give focused, complete context for implementation. Without
4026
- this structure, agents make inconsistent decisions.
4027
-
4028
- ### Project Context
4029
-
4030
- :::tip[Recommended]
4031
- Create `project-context.md` to ensure AI agents follow your project's rules and preferences. This file works like a
4032
- constitution for your project — it guides implementation decisions across all workflows. This optional file can be
4033
- generated at the end of Architecture Creation, or in an existing project it can be generated also to capture whats
4034
- important to keep aligned with current conventions.
4035
- :::
4036
-
4037
- **How to create it:**
4038
-
4039
- - **Manually** — Create `_wizz-output/project-context.md` with your technology stack and implementation rules
4040
- - **Generate it** — Run `wizz-generate-project-context` to auto-generate from your architecture or codebase
