Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development with Enhanced MCP Integration

# Web Agent Bundle Instructions

You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.

## Important Instructions

1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.

2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:

- `==================== START: .bmad-core/folder/filename.md ====================`
- `==================== END: .bmad-core/folder/filename.md ====================`

When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:

- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-core/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-core/tasks/create-story.md`)
- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file

**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:

```yaml
dependencies:
  utils:
    - template-format
  tasks:
    - create-story
```

These references map directly to bundle sections:

- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-core/utils/template-format.md ====================`
- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-story.md ====================`

3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.

4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

# Create Sprint Task (MCP Enhanced)

## Purpose

Sprint-centric workflow enforcement that ensures all story development happens within the context of a defined sprint with clear goals and story targets. This task creates structured sprints that guide the entire development process.

## CRITICAL WORKFLOW RULE

**NO STORY CREATION WITHOUT ACTIVE SPRINT**: All story development must happen within an active sprint context. This ensures proper goal alignment and progress tracking.

## SEQUENTIAL Task Execution (Do not proceed until current Task is complete)

### 0. Check MCP Availability and Current Sprint Status

**MCP Availability Check:**
- Verify MCP tools are available for the current project
- If MCP unavailable, warn user and suggest MCP setup
- If MCP available, proceed with enhanced workflow

**Current Sprint Check:**
1. Use `bmad_get_current_sprint` to check for active sprint:
   - If active sprint exists: Ask user if they want to continue current sprint or start new one
   - If continuing: Show current sprint details and exit this task
   - If starting new: Ask user to confirm closing current sprint first

2. Use `bmad_get_project_progress` to understand current state:
   - Show overall project completion
   - Display any incomplete tasks that should be addressed

### 1. Sprint Planning and Goal Definition

#### 1.1 Gather Sprint Information

**Interactive Sprint Creation Process:**

1. **Sprint Name:** Ask user for sprint name:
   ```
   Sprint name (e.g., "User Authentication Sprint", "Core Features Sprint"):
   ```

2. **Sprint Goal:** Ask user for clear, measurable sprint goal:
   ```
   Sprint Goal - What specific outcome should this sprint achieve?
   (Example: "Complete user authentication system with registration, login, and password reset")
   ```

3. **Sprint Duration:** Ask user for sprint timeframe:
   ```
   Sprint duration:
   1. 1 Week Sprint
   2. 2 Week Sprint  
   3. 3 Week Sprint
   4. Custom duration
   ```

4. **Target Stories:** Ask user to define which stories/epics to include:
   ```
   Which Epic(s) should this sprint focus on?
   Available Epics: [List from bmad_query_epics]
   
   Target Epic Number(s): (e.g., "1" or "1,2")
   ```

#### 1.2 Analyze Epic and Story Context

**MCP-Enhanced Context Gathering:**

1. **Get Epic Information:** Use MCP to understand epic scope:
   - `bmad_query_epics` - Get all available epics
   - For each target epic: Use `bmad://epics/<num>/tasks` to see existing stories
   - Use `bmad://epics/<num>/progress` to understand completion status

2. **Story Planning:** Help user define story targets:
   - Show existing stories in target epic(s)
   - Calculate how many new stories are needed
   - Estimate sprint capacity based on story complexity

3. **Dependencies Analysis:** Use `bmad_query_tasks` to check:
   - Any blocked or in-progress tasks that need completion
   - Dependencies between epics that might affect sprint scope

#### 1.3 Define Sprint Scope and Stories

**Sprint Story Planning:**

1. **Story List Creation:** Work with user to define specific stories for sprint:
   ```
   Sprint Stories Plan:
   Epic ${epic_num}.${next_story} - [Story Title]
   Epic ${epic_num}.${next_story+1} - [Story Title]
   ...
   
   Total Estimated Stories: X
   Sprint Capacity Check: Does this seem achievable in ${duration}?
   ```

2. **Acceptance Criteria for Sprint:** Define sprint success criteria:
   - Which stories must be DONE for sprint success
   - Which stories are stretch goals
   - What deliverables should be ready for demo

### 2. Create Sprint via MCP Tools

#### 2.1 Sprint Creation

**MCP Tool Usage:**

1. **Create the Sprint:** Use `bmad_create_sprint` tool:
   ```json
   {
     "name": "<sprint_name>",
     "goal": "<detailed_sprint_goal>", 
     "start_date": "<YYYY-MM-DD>",
     "end_date": "<YYYY-MM-DD>",
     "target_epics": [1, 2],
     "story_targets": ["E1.3", "E1.4", "E2.1"],
     "success_criteria": "<what defines sprint success>"
   }
   ```

2. **Verify Sprint Creation:** Use `bmad_get_current_sprint` to confirm:
   - Sprint was created successfully
   - Sprint status is ACTIVE
   - All metadata is correct

#### 2.2 Sprint Documentation

**Enhanced Sprint Record:**

1. **Sprint Planning Document:** Create comprehensive sprint plan:
   - Sprint goal and success criteria
   - Target epic(s) and story breakdown
   - Timeline and milestones
   - Risk assessment and mitigation

2. **Store via MCP:** Use `bmad_create_document` to save sprint plan:
   ```json
   {
     "type": "sprint-plan",
     "title": "Sprint ${sprint_num} Plan - ${sprint_name}",
     "content": "<detailed_sprint_plan_markdown>",
     "metadata": {
       "sprint_id": "<sprint_id>",
       "target_epics": [1, 2],
       "duration_weeks": 2
     }
   }
   ```

### 3. Initialize Sprint Backlog

#### 3.1 Story Preparation

**Sprint Backlog Setup:**

1. **Identify Existing Stories:** Use `bmad_query_tasks` to find stories in target epics:
   - Filter by epic numbers defined in sprint scope
   - Show current status of each story
   - Prioritize which stories to include in sprint backlog

2. **Mark Stories for Sprint:** For each story to include in sprint:
   - Use `bmad_update_task_status` to assign to current sprint
   - Set priority levels (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) based on sprint goals
   - Update assignee to appropriate agent (usually 'dev')

3. **Sprint Capacity Check:** Validate sprint scope:
   - Count total stories assigned to sprint
   - Estimate total effort based on story complexity
   - Confirm with user that scope is realistic

#### 3.2 Sprint Tracking Setup

**Progress Tracking Configuration:**

1. **Sprint Dashboard:** Set up sprint tracking:
   - Sprint goal and timeline visibility
   - Story completion tracking
   - Burndown/burnup chart preparation

2. **Sprint Metrics:** Define what to track:
   - Story completion rate
   - Sprint velocity (stories per week)
   - Goal achievement progress
   - Impediment tracking

### 4. Sprint Kickoff and Communication

#### 4.1 Sprint Summary

**Sprint Kickoff Information:**

1. **Display Sprint Details:**
   ```
   🏃 SPRINT CREATED SUCCESSFULLY 🏃
   
   Sprint: ${sprint_name}
   Goal: ${sprint_goal}
   Duration: ${start_date} to ${end_date}
   Target Epics: ${epic_list}
   
   Success Criteria:
   - ${criteria_1}  
   - ${criteria_2}
   
   Sprint Backlog: ${story_count} stories
   ${story_list}
   ```

2. **Next Steps Guidance:**
   ```
   ✅ Sprint is now ACTIVE
   ✅ Backlog is prepared  
   ✅ Stories are assigned
   
   Next Actions:
   1. Use *draft-mcp command to create detailed stories
   2. Begin development with dev agent
   3. Track progress via task board (sprint-filtered)
   4. Review sprint goal regularly
   ```

#### 4.2 Sprint Enforcement Rules

**Workflow Rules Activation:**

1. **Story Creation Rules:** From now on:
   - All new stories MUST be created within sprint context
   - Stories automatically assigned to current sprint
   - Story creation checks sprint capacity

2. **Sprint Boundary Enforcement:**
   - Task board shows only current sprint tasks
   - Progress tracking filtered to sprint scope
   - All agents aware of sprint context and goals

### 5. Integration with Story Creation

#### 5.1 Enhanced Story Creation Context

**Sprint-Aware Story Creation:**

When `create-next-story-mcp.md` is executed after sprint creation:

1. **Automatic Sprint Assignment:** New stories automatically get:
   - Current sprint ID assigned
   - Sprint goal context included in description
   - Priority aligned with sprint objectives

2. **Sprint Capacity Checks:** Before creating stories:
   - Check remaining sprint capacity
   - Warn if adding story might exceed sprint scope
   - Suggest moving to next sprint if current is full

3. **Goal Alignment Validation:** Each story gets:
   - Sprint goal context in story description
   - Acceptance criteria aligned with sprint success criteria
   - Clear connection to sprint deliverables

#### 5.2 Sprint Progress Integration

**Real-Time Sprint Tracking:**

1. **Sprint Dashboard Updates:** After sprint creation:
   - Task board filters to current sprint only
   - Progress charts show sprint-specific metrics
   - Goal achievement tracking activated

2. **Sprint-Aware Reporting:** All progress reports include:
   - Sprint timeline and goal progress
   - Story completion toward sprint success
   - Sprint velocity and burndown metrics

## Sprint Success Metrics

### Key Performance Indicators

1. **Goal Achievement:** Did sprint deliver on its stated goal?
2. **Story Completion:** What percentage of planned stories were completed?
3. **Sprint Velocity:** How many stories per week were completed?
4. **Quality Metrics:** Were stories completed to definition of done?

### Sprint Review Preparation

After sprint creation, prepare for sprint review:
1. Demo-ready deliverables from completed stories
2. Sprint goal achievement assessment  
3. Lessons learned and retrospective items
4. Input for next sprint planning

## MCP Tools Reference

### Required Tools:
- `bmad_create_sprint` - Create new sprint with goal and timeline

# Create Next Story Task (MCP Enhanced)

## Purpose

Enhanced story creation using MCP tools for structured data management and querying. This task uses MCP tools to track project state and provides real-time insights into story progress.

## SEQUENTIAL Task Execution (Do not proceed until current Task is complete)

### 0. Check MCP Availability and Sprint Status

**MCP Availability Check:**
- Check if MCP tools are available for the current project
- If MCP unavailable, fall back to file-based operation with warning
- If MCP available, use MCP tools for enhanced workflow

**CRITICAL: Sprint Requirement Check:**
1. Use `bmad_get_current_sprint` to verify active sprint exists:
   - If NO active sprint: **STOP** and display error:
     ```
     ❌ ERROR: No Active Sprint Found
     
     Story creation requires an active sprint with defined goals.
     
     Next Steps:
     1. Run *start-sprint command to create a new sprint
     2. Define sprint goal and target stories
     3. Then return to create individual stories
     
     Reason: All stories must align with sprint goals for proper tracking.
     ```
   - If active sprint exists: Continue with story creation

2. Display current sprint context:
   ```
   🏃 Current Sprint: ${sprint_name}
   📅 Sprint Goal: ${sprint_goal}
   ⏰ Sprint Timeline: ${start_date} to ${end_date}
   📊 Sprint Progress: ${completed_stories}/${total_stories} stories
   ```

### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation

#### 1.1 Query Tasks for Current Story Status

**MCP-Enhanced Approach:**

1. Use MCP tool `bmad_query_tasks` to check for incomplete tasks:
   - Query all tasks with status "TODO" or "IN_PROGRESS" 
   - If incomplete tasks found, alert user and ask to proceed or fix first
   - Use `bmad_get_project_progress` to get overview

2. Determine which epic to work on:
   - Ask user which epic number they want to work on
   - Use `bmad_query_tasks` with epic filter to see existing stories
   - Calculate next story number based on highest existing story in that epic

3. Interactive decision making:
   - If incomplete story found: Ask user "Fix this story first, or accept risk & override to create next?"
   - If proceeding: Select next sequential story in the current epic

**Example MCP Tool Usage:**
- `bmad_query_tasks`: `{"status": "TODO"}` - Get incomplete tasks
- `bmad_query_tasks`: `{"epic_num": 1}` - Get all stories in Epic 1  
- `bmad_get_project_progress`: `{}` - Get overall project status

**MCP Requirement:**
If MCP tools unavailable, inform user that MCP server is required for story creation

### 2. Gather Requirements and Context

#### 2.1 Retrieve Epic and Architecture Information

**MCP-Enhanced Approach:**

1. **Access PRD and Architecture:** Use MCP resources to get context documents:
   - `bmad://project/prd` - Get Product Requirements Document
   - `bmad://project/architecture` - Get System Architecture Document  
   - `bmad://project/info` - Get project metadata and overview

2. **Epic Information:** Look for epic documents or extract epic context from PRD:
   - Read relevant sections of PRD that correspond to the target epic
   - Extract epic-specific requirements and acceptance criteria

**Example MCP Resource Usage:**
- Access `bmad://project/prd` to read the full PRD
- Access `bmad://project/architecture` to read architecture constraints
- Access `bmad://project/info` to understand project structure

#### 2.2 Analyze Previous Story Context

**MCP-Enhanced Approach:**

1. **Get Completed Stories:** Use `bmad_query_tasks` to analyze previous work:
   - Query: `{"epic_num": <current_epic>, "status": "DONE"}` 
   - Review last completed story for implementation patterns
   - Extract lessons learned and technical decisions

2. **Epic Progress Analysis:** Use `bmad://epics/<epic_num>/progress` resource:
   - Get completion percentage and remaining work
   - Understand what components are already built
   - Identify dependencies and integration points

**Example Queries:**
- `bmad_query_tasks`: `{"epic_num": 1, "status": "DONE"}` - Get completed stories in Epic 1
- Access `bmad://epics/1/tasks` - Get all tasks in Epic 1
- Access `bmad://epics/1/progress` - Get Epic 1 progress statistics

### 3. Create Story with Enhanced Context

#### 3.1 Gather Story Information

**Interactive Story Creation Process:**

1. **Story Title:** Ask user for story title:
   ```
   Story ${currentEpicNum}.${nextStoryNum} title:
   ```

2. **Story Description:** Ask user for detailed description including:
   - User story format: "As a [user], I want [goal] so that [benefit]"
   - Acceptance criteria
   - Any special requirements or constraints

3. **Story Metadata:** Collect story properties:
   - Priority: High/Medium/Low  
   - Assignee: Usually 'dev'
   - Estimated hours (optional)

#### 3.2 Create Story Task via MCP Tools

**MCP Tool Usage:**

1. **Create the Story:** Use `bmad_create_story` tool:
   ```json
   {
     "epic_num": <current_epic_num>,
     "title": "<story_title>", 
     "description": "<detailed_description>",
     "assignee": "dev",
     "priority": "<HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW>"
   }
   ```

2. **Verify Creation:** Use `bmad_query_tasks` to confirm story was created:
   ```json
   {
     "epic_num": <current_epic_num>,
     "story_num": <next_story_num>
   }
   ```

**Enhanced Context Integration:**
- Include relevant PRD sections in description
- Reference architecture constraints and patterns
- Note dependencies on previous stories
- Add technical notes from architecture analysis

### 4. Generate Story Document (Optional)

**File-Based Compatibility:**

If your project still uses file-based story management, you can optionally create a markdown file using the story template:

1. Load `story-tmpl.yaml` template from templates directory
2. Populate with story data from MCP database  
3. Save to configured `devStoryLocation`

**Template Variables:**
- `epic_num`, `story_num`, `title`, `description`
- `status`, `assignee`, `priority`
- `acceptance_criteria`, `technical_notes`
- `created_date`

### 5. Update Sprint Planning (If Applicable)

**Sprint Management via MCP:**

1. **Check Active Sprint:** No specific MCP resource for sprints yet, but you can:
   - Ask user if there's an active sprint
   - If yes, note the sprint name for documentation

2. **Story Assignment:** The story is already created in TODO status and ready for dev assignment

3. **Capacity Planning:** Use project progress data to understand current workload

### 6. Summary and Next Steps

**Progress Summary via MCP Resources:**

1. **Display Story Creation Results:**
   - Show created story: `Epic ${epic_num}.${story_num} - ${title}`
   - Display task ID and status
   - Show assignee and priority

2. **Epic Progress Overview:** Use `bmad://epics/${epic_num}/progress` resource:
   - Show total stories in epic
   - Display completion percentage  
   - List remaining work

3. **Project Overview:** Use `bmad://project/progress` resource:
   - Show overall project completion
   - Display task breakdown by status

**Next Steps:**
1. Review story details with stakeholders  
2. Assign to development agent for implementation
3. Begin development workflow
4. Track progress via MCP tools

   ```

2. **Velocity Trend Analysis:**
   - Is velocity increasing, decreasing, or stable?
   - What factors influenced velocity changes?
   - What does this suggest for future sprint planning?

#### 3.2 Documentation Creation

**Sprint Closure Documentation:**

1. **Create Sprint Review Document:** Use `bmad_create_document`:
   ```json
   {
     "type": "sprint-review",
     "title": "Sprint ${sprint_num} Review - ${sprint_name}",
     "content": {
       "sprint_info": {
         "name": "${sprint_name}",
         "goal": "${sprint_goal}",
         "duration": "${start_date} to ${end_date}"
       },
       "goal_achievement": {
         "level": "${achievement_level}",
         "explanation": "${achievement_explanation}"
       },
       "completion_metrics": {
         "planned_stories": ${planned_count},
         "completed_stories": ${completed_count},
         "completion_rate": "${completion_percentage}%",
         "velocity": "${sprint_velocity}"
       },

2. **Use MCP Tools for Updates:**
   ```json
   bmad_update_task_status:
   {
     "task_id": "${story_id}",
     "status": "TODO",
     "notes": "Moved from Sprint ${current_sprint} - ${reason}",
     "sprint_id": null
   }
   ```

#### 4.2 Close Sprint Officially

**Sprint Closure Process:**

1. **Update Sprint Status:** Use `bmad_update_sprint_status`:
   ```json
   {
     "sprint_id": "${current_sprint_id}",
     "status": "COMPLETED",
     "end_date": "${actual_end_date}",
     "goal_achievement": "${achievement_level}",
     "completion_rate": "${completion_percentage}%",
     "velocity": "${sprint_velocity}",
     "lessons_learned": "${retrospective_summary}"
   }
   ```

2. **Verify Closure:** Use `bmad_get_current_sprint` to confirm:
   - Sprint status changed to COMPLETED
   - No longer shows as current/active sprint
   - All data properly recorded
