-
-**Typical Next Workflows:**
-
-**Immediate Next Steps:**
-
-1. **PRD Quality Validation First (Recommended):**
-   - execute the `{validationFlow}` workflow if selected or start a new chat with me and select the validate PRD menu item
-   - Ensures PRD is complete and ready
-   - Identifies any gaps or issues
-   - Validates before committing to architecture/design
-
-2. **UX Design:** `workflow create-ux-design` with the UX-Designer Agent (if UI exists)
-   - User journey insights from step-04 inform interaction design
-   - Functional requirements from step-09 define design scope
-   - Polish-optimized document provides clear design requirements
-
-3. **Technical Architecture:** `workflow create-architecture` with the Architect Agent
-   - Project-type requirements from step-07 guide technical decisions
-   - Non-functional requirements from step-10 inform architecture choices
-   - Functional requirements define system capabilities
-
-4. **Epic Breakdown:** `workflow create-epics-and-stories` with me again - but really recommend first doing a UX if needed and an architecture!
-   - Functional requirements from step-09 become epics and stories
-   - Scope definition from step-03 guides sprint planning
-   - Richer when created after UX/architecture
-
-**Strategic Considerations:**
-
-- Validation adds confidence before architecture/design investment
-- UX design and architecture can happen in parallel after validation
-- Epics/stories are richer when created after UX/architecture
-- Order depends on team preferences and project needs

+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, read fully and follow the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- 🛑 **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- 📖 **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- 🚫 **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- 💾 **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- 🎯 **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- ⏸️ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- 📋 **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE

+### 1. Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {main_config} and resolve:
+

 ### 3. Suggest Next Steps
 
-Provide guidance on logical next workflows:
-
-**Typical Next Workflows:**
-
-**Immediate Next Steps:**
-
-1. **Wireframe Generation** - Create detailed wireframes based on UX specification
-2. **Interactive Prototype** - Build clickable prototypes for user testing
-3. **Solution Architecture** - Technical architecture design with UX context
-4. **Figma Design** - High-fidelity visual design implementation
-
-**Visual Design Workflows:**
-
-- Wireframe Generation → Interactive Prototype → Figma Design
-- Component Showcase → AI Frontend Prompt → Design System Implementation
-
-**Development Workflows:**
-
-- Solution Architecture → Epic Creation → Development Sprints
-
-**What would be most valuable to tackle next?**
-
-### 4. Document Quality Check
-
-Perform final validation of the UX design:
-
-**Completeness Check:**
-
-- Does the specification clearly communicate the design vision?
-- Are user journeys thoroughly documented?
-- Are all critical components specified?
-- Are responsive and accessibility requirements comprehensive?
-- Is there clear guidance for implementation?
-
-**Consistency Check:**
-
-- Do all sections align with the emotional goals?
-- Is design system integration clearly defined?
-- Are patterns consistent across all user flows?
-- Does visual direction match established foundation?
+UX Design complete. Read fully and follow: `_bmad/core/tasks/help.md` with argument `Create UX`.
 
 ### 5. Final Completion Confirmation
 
-Confirm completion with user:
-"**Your UX Design Specification for {{project_name}} is now complete and ready for implementation!**
+Congratulate the user on the completion you both completed together of the UX.
 
-**The specification contains everything needed to:**
 
-- Guide visual designers in creating the final interfaces
-- Inform developers of all UX requirements and patterns
-- Ensure consistency across all user interactions
-- Maintain accessibility and responsive design standards
-- Provide a foundation for user testing and iteration
-
-**Ready to continue with:**
-
-- Wireframe generation for detailed layouts?
-- Interactive prototype for user testing?
-- Solution architecture for technical planning?
-- Visual design implementation?
-
-**Or would you like to review the complete specification first?**

-- ✅ `editWorkflow`: "./steps-e/step-e-01-discovery.md" (FIXED - was assess-workflow.md)
-
-#### Create Steps (steps-c)
-- ✅ All 13 files have proper name, description, nextStepFile
-- ✅ Proper sequencing from step-01 through step-12
-- ✅ Consistent output file references
-
-#### Validation Steps (steps-v)
-- ✅ All 13 files have complete frontmatter
-- ✅ Proper sequential chain maintained
-- ✅ No broken internal references
-
-#### Edit Steps (steps-e)
-- ✅ All files have required fields
-- ✅ Proper routing with altStepFile references
-
-### ✅ All Issues Resolved
-
-**1. Broken Edit Workflow Reference:**
-```yaml
-# Current (INCORRECT):
-editWorkflow: './steps-e/step-e-01-assess-workflow.md'
-
-# Should be:
-editWorkflow: './steps-e/step-e-01-discovery.md'
-```
-
-**2. Step Numbering Gap:**
-- Original `step-11-complete.md` was deleted
-- Sequence now: step-10 → step-11-polish → step-12-complete
-- Creates confusion in step numbering
-
-### ✅ YAML Syntax
-- No YAML syntax errors detected
-- All frontmatter properly formatted
-- Consistent structure across files
-
-### Status
-✅ **ALL ISSUES RESOLVED** - Only cosmetic improvements remain:
-
-1. **✅ FIXED**: Edit workflow path corrected in workflow.md
-2. **⚠️ OPTIONAL**: Address step numbering gap for clarity
-3. **⚠️ OPTIONAL**: Rename step-01b-continue.md to step-01a-continue.md for consistency
-
----
-
-## 3. Step File Content Validation
-
-### Content Quality Assessment: 4.5/5 - EXCELLENT

-
-#### ⚠️ Minor Improvement Opportunities
-
-**1. Header Formatting:**
-- Some inconsistency in header level usage across files
-- Recommend standardizing H2/H3 usage
-
-**2. Edit Mode Completeness:**
-- Edit mode has fewer steps (5 vs 12/13 for other modes)
-- Documentation marks it as "Future" but implementation exists
-
-#### Recommendations
-1. **LOW PRIORITY**: Standardize header formatting across all step files
-2. **LOW PRIORITY**: Complete remaining edit mode steps for parity
-3. **MAINTAIN**: Current excellent quality standards
-
----
-
-## 4. Documentation Validation
-
-### Documentation Completeness: ✅ COMPREHENSIVE
-
-#### Main Components Present
-- ✅ Workflow Definition (workflow.md)
-- ✅ Purpose Document (data/prd-purpose.md)
-- ✅ Template (templates/prd-template.md)
-- ✅ Three Mode Implementations (Create: 12, Validate: 13, Edit: 5 steps)
-
-#### Clarity Assessment: ✅ EXCELLENT
-
-**Strong Points:**
-1. Clear mode determination (commands, flags, menu selection)
-2. Detailed routing instructions for each mode
-3. Comprehensive workflow architecture explanation
-4. Well-defined critical rules with visual emphasis
-5. Professional presentation with consistent formatting
-
-#### ⚠️ Minor Issues Found
-
-**1. Step Count Mismatch:**

-- Actually implements 12 steps
-- Could confuse users
-
-**2. Edit Mode Status:**
-- workflow.md calls Edit mode "Future"
-- Edit mode steps are actually implemented
-- Should reflect current status
-
-**3. Template Completeness:**
-- PRD template is minimal (10 lines)
-- Could benefit from section placeholders
-
-**4. Missing README:**
-- No onboarding documentation for new users
-- Not critical but would be helpful
-
-#### Recommendations
-
-**HIGH PRIORITY:**
-1. Fix step count reference to match implementation (12 steps)
-2. Update edit mode documentation to "Implemented"
-
-**MEDIUM PRIORITY:**
-3. Enhance PRD template with section structure
-4. Add quick-start README for new users
-
-**LOW PRIORITY:**
-5. Add troubleshooting section
-6. Document external dependencies (domain-complexity.csv, project-types.csv)
-

-## MODE DETERMINATION
-
-### Detect Workflow Mode
-
-Determine which mode to invoke based on:
-
-1. **Command/Invocation:**
-   - "create prd" or "new prd" → Create mode
-   - "validate prd" or "check prd" → Validate mode
-   - "edit prd" or "improve prd" → Edit mode
-
-2. **Context Detection:**
-   - If invoked with -c flag → Create mode
-   - If invoked with -v flag → Validate mode
-   - If invoked with -e flag → Edit mode
-
-3. **Menu Selection (if unclear):**
-
-If mode cannot be determined from invocation:
-"**PRD Workflow - Select Mode:**
-
-**[C] Create** - Create a new PRD from scratch
-**[V] Validate** - Validate an existing PRD against BMAD standards
-**[E] Edit** - Improve an existing PRD
-
-Which mode would you like?"
-
-Wait for user selection.
-
-### Route to Appropriate Workflow
-
-**IF Create Mode:**
-"**Create Mode: Creating a new PRD from scratch.**"
-Load, read entire file, then execute: `{nextStep}` (steps-c/step-01-init.md)
-
-**IF Validate Mode:**
-"**Validate Mode: Validating an existing PRD against BMAD standards.**"
-Prompt for PRD path: "Which PRD would you like to validate? Please provide the path to the PRD.md file."
-Then load, read entire file, and execute: `{validateWorkflow}` (steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md)
-
-**IF Edit Mode:**
-"**Edit Mode: Improving an existing PRD.**"
-Prompt for PRD path: "Which PRD would you like to edit? Please provide the path to the PRD.md file."
-Then load, read entire file, and execute: `{editWorkflow}` (steps-e/step-e-01-discovery.md)
-

-
-## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
-
-This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
-
-### Core Principles
-
-- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
-- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
-- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
-- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
-- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
-
-### Step Processing Rules
-
-1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
-2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
-3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
-4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
-5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
-6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
-
-### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
-
-- 🛑 **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
-- 📖 **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
-- 🚫 **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
-- 💾 **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
-- 🎯 **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
-- ⏸️ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
-- 📋 **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
-
----
-
-## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
-
-### 1. Mode Determination
-
-**Check if mode was specified in the command invocation:**
-
-- If user invoked with "create prd" or "new prd" or "build prd" or "-c" or "--create" → Set mode to **create**
-- If user invoked with "validate prd" or "review prd" or "check prd" or "-v" or "--validate" → Set mode to **validate**
-- If user invoked with "edit prd" or "modify prd" or "improve prd" or "-e" or "--edit" → Set mode to **edit**
-
-**If mode is still unclear, ask user:**
-
-"**PRD Workflow - Select Mode:**
-
-**[C] Create** - Create a new PRD from scratch
-**[V] Validate** - Validate an existing PRD against BMAD standards
-**[E] Edit** - Improve an existing PRD
-
-Which mode would you like?"
-
-Wait for user selection.
-
-### 2. Configuration Loading
-
-Load and read full config from {main_config} and resolve:
-
-- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `planning_artifacts`, `user_name`
-- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
-- `date` as system-generated current datetime
-
-✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the configured `{communication_language}`.
-
-### 3. Route to Appropriate Workflow
-
-**IF mode == create:**
-"**Create Mode: Creating a new PRD from scratch.**"
-Load, read entire file, then execute `{nextStep}` (steps-c/step-01-init.md)
-
-**IF mode == validate:**
-"**Validate Mode: Validating an existing PRD against BMAD standards.**"
-Prompt for PRD path: "Which PRD would you like to validate? Please provide the path to the PRD.md file."
-Then load, read entire file, and execute `{validateWorkflow}` (steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md)
-
-**IF mode == edit:**
-"**Edit Mode: Improving an existing PRD.**"
-Prompt for PRD path: "Which PRD would you like to edit? Please provide the path to the PRD.md file."
-Then load, read entire file, and execute `{editWorkflow}` (steps-e/step-e-01-discovery.md)
