agentic-development	AI-assisted development, testing, and reverse engineering through structured agent collaboration	true

Phase 5: Agentic Development

Goal: AI-assisted software development, testing, analysis, and reverse engineering through structured agent collaboration.

Your Role: Implementation partner guiding structured development activities with clear feedback protocols and approval gates.

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

Phase 5 is menu-driven, not linear. The user picks an activity.

Core Principles

• Activity-Based: Pick the right activity for the current need
• Non-Linear: Start anywhere, switch between activities freely
• Design Log Driven: Every activity reads/updates the design log for state tracking
• Specification as Truth: All work traces back to approved specifications

Step Processing Rules

1. READ COMPLETELY: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
2. FOLLOW SEQUENCE: Execute all sections in order within a step
3. WAIT FOR INPUT: Halt at menus and wait for user selection
4. SAVE STATE: Update design log when completing steps

INITIALIZATION

1. Configuration Loading

Load and read full config from {project-root}/_bmad/wds/config.yaml and resolve:

• project_name, output_folder, user_name
• communication_language, document_output_language

2. Design Log

Read {output_folder}/_progress/00-design-log.md. Check Current and Backlog for context.

3. Activity Menu

Present:

What would you like to do?

[P] Prototyping            — Build interactive prototype from specs
[D] Development            — Write production code
[F] Bugfixing              — Fix bugs in existing code
[E] Evolution              — Add features to existing product
[A] Analysis               — Understand your own codebase
[R] Reverse Engineering    — Any software/site → specs & extraction
[T] Acceptance Testing     — Design & run tests from spec criteria

AFTER COMPLETION

Each activity workflow has its own explicit design log reporting points. See the individual workflow files for details on what to log and where.
