2. Read agentMetadata for property definitions
3. Keep examples ready for illustration
## Protocol 2: Purpose Discovery
Guide natural conversation to uncover:
- Primary agent function/responsibility
- Complexity level (single task vs multi-domain)
- Scope boundaries (standalone vs manages workflows)
- Integration needs (other agents/workflows)
- Does the agent need to remember things between sessions?
- What should it remember? (user preferences, project state, progress, etc.)
- Or is each interaction independent?
## Protocol 3: Type Determination
Classify based on criteria:
- **Simple**: Single focused purpose, minimal complexity (e.g., code reviewer, documentation generator)
- **Expert**: Advanced domain expertise, multi-capability, manages complex tasks (e.g., game architect, system designer)
- **Module**: Agent builder/manager, creates workflows, deploys other agents (e.g., agent-builder, workflow-builder)
## Protocol 3: Sidecar Determination
Classify based on ONE question:
**Does this agent need to remember things across sessions?**
| If... | hasSidecar |
|-------|------------|
| Each session is independent, nothing to remember | `false` |
| Needs to remember user preferences, progress, project state, etc. | `true` |

# STEP GOAL
Assemble the agent plan content into a complete agent YAML file. The build approach (with or without sidecar) is determined by the `hasSidecar` decision made in Step 3.
---
# MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
1. **DETERMINE BUILD APPROACH FIRST**: Check `hasSidecar` from agentPlan before starting
2. **TEMPLATE COMPLIANCE**: Follow agent-template.md structure exactly
3. **YAML VALIDATION**: Ensure valid YAML syntax with proper indentation (2-space)
4. **EXISTING CHECK**: If output file exists, ask user before overwriting
5. **NO DRIFT**: Use ONLY content from agentPlan - no additions or interpretations
6. **SIDECAR REQUIREMENT**: If hasSidecar=true, MUST create sidecar folder structure
---
# EXECUTION PROTOCOLS
## Phase 1: Load Architecture and Templates
1. Read `agentTemplate` - defines YAML structure for agents
2. Read `agentArch` - architecture requirements for agents
3. Read `agentCompilation` - assembly rules for YAML generation
4. Read `criticalActions` - validation requirements for critical_actions
## Phase 2: Load Agent Plan
1. Read `agentPlan` containing all collected content from Steps 2-5
2. Verify plan contains:
- hasSidecar decision (true/false)
- Persona content
- Commands structure
- All metadata fields
- Activation decisions (critical_actions)
## Phase 3: Determine Build Approach
Check `hasSidecar` from plan:
```yaml
hasSidecar: false
→ Build: Agent WITHOUT sidecar
→ Output: Single YAML file at {agentYamlOutputNoSidecar}
→ Structure: Everything in one file (~250 lines max)
hasSidecar: true
→ Build: Agent WITH sidecar
→ Output: YAML + sidecar folder structure
→ Structure: YAML file + {agent-name}-sidecar/ folder
```
**Inform user of build approach:**
```
"Building: Agent {WITH|WITHOUT} sidecar
hasSidecar: {true/false}
Output: {output path description}"
```
## Phase 4: Assemble Agent YAML
### For Agents WITHOUT Sidecar (hasSidecar: false)
**Structure:**
```yaml
name: '{agent-name}'
description: '{short-description}'
author:
name: '{author}'
created: '{date}'
persona: |
{multi-line persona content from plan}
system-context: |
{expanded context from plan}
capabilities:
- {capability from plan}
- {capability from plan}
# ... all capabilities
commands:
- name: '{command-name}'
description: '{what command does}'

max-tokens: {max-tokens}
response-format: {format}
# ... other configuration from plan

**Output:** YAML file at `{agentYamlOutput}` + sidecar folder structure
### Phase 5: Create Sidecar Structure (IF hasSidecar: true)
Skip this phase if hasSidecar: false
1. **Create Sidecar Directory**:
```bash
mkdir -p {sidecarOutput}
```
2. **Create Starter Files** (if specified in critical_actions):
```bash
touch {sidecarOutput}/memories.md
touch {sidecarOutput}/instructions.md
# ... additional files from critical_actions
```
3. **Add README to Sidecar**:
```markdown
# {sidecar-folder} Sidecar
This folder stores persistent memory for the **{agent-name}** agent.
## Purpose
{purpose from critical_actions}
## Files
- memories.md: User profile, session history, patterns
- instructions.md: Protocols, boundaries, startup behavior
- {additional files}
## Runtime Access
After BMAD installation, this folder will be accessible at:
`{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/{filename}.md`
```
### Phase 6: Write Agent YAML
**If hasSidecar: false:**
1. Write YAML to `{agentYamlOutputNoSidecar}`
2. Confirm write success
3. Display file location to user
**If hasSidecar: true:**
1. Create directory: `mkdir -p {agentBuildOutput}`
2. Write YAML to `{agentYamlOutput}`
3. Confirm write success
4. Display file location to user
## Phase 7: Present MENU OPTIONS
Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
#### Menu Handling Logic:
- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}, and when finished redisplay the menu
- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}, and when finished redisplay the menu
- IF C: Write agent YAML to appropriate output path (with or without sidecar), update frontmatter, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#7-present-menu-options)
#### EXECUTION RULES:
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
---
# CONTEXT BOUNDARIES
**INCLUDE:**
- Template structure exactly as provided
- All agent metadata from agentPlan
- Persona, commands, and rules from plan
- Configuration options specified
- Sidecar structure if hasSidecar: true
**EXCLUDE:**
- Any content not in agentPlan
- Sidecar references if hasSidecar: false
- Template placeholders (replace with actual content)
- Comments or notes in final YAML
---
# CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [complete YAML generated and written to output], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and celebrate completion.
**This step produces:**
- **If hasSidecar: false**: Single agent YAML file
- **If hasSidecar: true**: Agent YAML file + sidecar folder structure
Both must exist (if applicable) before proceeding to validation.
---
# SUCCESS METRICS
✅ **SUCCESS looks like:**
- Agent YAML file exists at specified output path
- YAML is syntactically valid and well-formed
- All template fields populated with plan content
- Structure matches agent architecture
- If hasSidecar: true, sidecar folder created with starter files
- User has selected continue to proceed
❌ **FAILURE looks like:**
- Template or architecture files not found
- Agent plan missing required sections
- YAML syntax errors in output
- Content not properly mapped to template
- File write operation fails
- hasSidecar: true but sidecar folder not created

# TRANSITION CRITERIA
**Ready for Step 8 when:**
- Agent YAML successfully created (with or without sidecar as specified)
- User selects continue

# STEP GOAL
Assemble the agent plan content into a complete Expert agent YAML file with sidecar folder structure. Expert agents require persistent memory storage, so the build creates a sidecar folder next to the agent.yaml (which gets installed to `_bmad/_memory/` during BMAD installation).
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
1. **EXPERT AGENT = SIDECAR REQUIRED**: Every Expert agent MUST have a sidecar folder created next to agent.yaml (build location), which will be installed to `_bmad/_memory/` during BMAD installation
2. **CRITICAL_ACTIONS FORMAT**: All critical_actions MUST use `{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/` for file operations (runtime path)
3. **TEMPLATE COMPLIANCE**: Follow expert-agent-template.md structure exactly
4. **YAML VALIDATION**: Ensure valid YAML syntax with proper indentation (2-space)
5. **EXISTING CHECK**: If agentYamlOutput exists, ask user before overwriting
6. **NO DRIFT**: Use ONLY content from agentPlan - no additions or interpretations
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS
### Phase 1: Load Architecture and Templates
1. Read `expertTemplate` - defines YAML structure for Expert agents
2. Read `expertArch` - architecture requirements for Expert-level agents
3. Read `agentCompilation` - assembly rules for YAML generation
4. Read `criticalActions` - validation requirements for critical_actions
### Phase 2: Load Agent Plan
1. Read `agentPlan` containing all collected content from Steps 1-5
2. Verify plan contains:
- Agent type: "expert"
- Sidecar folder name
- Persona content
- Commands structure
- Critical actions (if applicable)
### Phase 3: Assemble Expert YAML
Using expertTemplate as structure:
```yaml
name: '{agent-name}'
description: '{short-description}'
author:
name: '{author}'
created: '{date}'
persona: |
{multi-line persona content from plan}
system-context: |

- '{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/{file2}.md'
# ... all critical actions referencing sidecar structure
commands:
- name: '{command-name}'
description: '{what command does}'
steps:
- {step 1}
- {step 2}
# ... all commands from plan
configuration:
temperature: {temperature}
max-tokens: {max-tokens}
response-format: {format}
# ... other configuration from plan
metadata:
sidecar-folder: '{sidecar-folder-name}'
sidecar-path: '{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/'
agent-type: 'expert'
memory-type: 'persistent'
```
### Phase 4: Create Sidecar Structure
1. **Create Sidecar Directory** (NEXT TO agent.yaml):
- Path: `{agentBuildOutput}/{agent-name}-sidecar/`
- Use `mkdir -p` to create full path
- Note: This folder gets installed to `_bmad/_memory/` during BMAD installation
2. **Create Starter Files** (if specified in critical_actions):
```bash
touch {agentBuildOutput}/{agent-name}-sidecar/{file1}.md
touch {agentBuildOutput}/{agent-name}-sidecar/{file2}.md
```
3. **Add README to Sidecar**:
```markdown
# {sidecar-folder} Sidecar
This folder stores persistent memory for the **{agent-name}** Expert agent.
## Purpose
{purpose from critical_actions}
## Files
- {file1}.md: {description}
- {file2}.md: {description}
## Runtime Access
After BMAD installation, this folder will be accessible at:
`{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/{filename}.md`
```
### Phase 5: Write Agent YAML
1. Create `agentBuildOutput` directory: `mkdir -p {agentBuildOutput}`
2. Write YAML to `agentYamlOutput`
3. Confirm write success
4. Display file location to user
### Phase 6: Present MENU OPTIONS
Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
#### Menu Handling Logic:
- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}, and when finished redisplay the menu
- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}, and when finished redisplay the menu
- IF C: Write agent YAML to {agentBuildOutput}/{agent-name}/{agent-name}.agent.yaml (or appropriate output path), update frontmatter, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#phase-6-present-menu-options)
#### EXECUTION RULES:
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES
- **USE ONLY**: Content from agentPlan, expertTemplate, expertArch, agentCompilation, criticalActions
- **DO NOT ADD**: New capabilities, commands, or actions not in plan
- **DO NOT INTERPRET**: Use exact language from plan
- **DO NOT SKIP**: Any field in expertTemplate structure
- **CRITICAL**: Expert agents MUST have sidecar-folder metadata
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [complete YAML generated and written to output], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and celebrate completion.
This step produces TWO artifacts:
1. **Agent YAML**: Complete expert agent definition at `{agentYamlOutput}`
2. **Sidecar Structure**: Folder and files at `{agentBuildOutput}/{agent-name}-sidecar/` (build location, installs to `_bmad/_memory/` during BMAD installation)
Both must exist before proceeding to validation.
## SUCCESS METRICS
✅ Agent YAML file created at expected location
✅ Valid YAML syntax (no parse errors)
✅ All template fields populated
✅ Sidecar folder created at `{agentBuildOutput}/{agent-name}-sidecar/` (build location)
✅ Sidecar folder contains starter files from critical_actions
✅ critical_actions reference `{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/` paths
✅ metadata.sidecar-folder populated
✅ metadata.agent-type = "expert"
✅ User validation choice received (one-at-a-time or YOLO)
## FAILURE MODES
❌ Missing required template fields
❌ Invalid YAML syntax
❌ Sidecar folder creation failed
❌ critical_actions missing sidecar-folder references
❌ agentPlan missing expert-specific content (sidecar-folder name)
❌ File write permission errors

# STEP GOAL
Assemble the Module agent YAML file from the approved plan, using the expert agent template as the baseline architecture and adding module-specific workflow integration paths and sidecar configuration.
# MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
1. **TEMPLATE BASELINE**: Module agents MUST use the expert agent template as their structural foundation - do not create custom templates
2. **PLAN ADHERENCE**: Extract content from agentPlan exactly as written - no enhancement, interpretation, or extrapolation
3. **MODULE SPECIFICITY**: Module agents require workflow integration paths and may need sidecar configuration for multi-workflow modules
4. **OUTPUT VALIDATION**: YAML must be valid, complete, and ready for immediate deployment
5. **LANGUAGE PRESERVATION**: Maintain any language choice configured in the plan throughout the YAML
# EXECUTION PROTOCOLS
## PREPARATION PHASE
### 1. Load Expert Template Baseline
```
Read: expertTemplate
Read: expertArch
Read: agentCompilation
Read: criticalActions
```
**Purpose**: Understand the expert agent structure that serves as the Module agent baseline
**Validation**: Confirm expert template has all required sections (name, description, persona, instructions, tools, skills, etc.)
### 2. Load Agent Plan
```
Read: agentPlan (using dynamic path)
```
**Validation**: Plan contains all mandatory sections:
- Agent identity (name, description)
- Persona profile
- Command structure
- Critical actions
- Workflow integrations (module-specific)
- Language choice (if configured)
### 3. Verify Output Directory
```
Bash: mkdir -p {agentBuildOutput}
```
**Purpose**: Ensure output directory exists for the module agent
## ASSEMBLY PHASE
### 4. Assemble Module Agent YAML
**FROM PLAN TO YAML MAPPING:**
| Plan Section | YAML Field | Notes |
|--------------|------------|-------|
| Agent Name | `name` | Plan → YAML |
| Description | `description` | Plan → YAML |
| Persona | `persona` | Plan → YAML |
| Instructions | `instructions` | Plan → YAML (verbatim) |
| Commands | `commands` | Plan → YAML (with handlers) |
| Critical Actions | `criticalActions` | Plan → YAML (mandatory) |
| Workflow Paths | `skills` | Module-specific |
| Sidecar Need | `sidecar` | If multi-workflow |
**MODULE-SPECIAL ENHANCEMENTS:**
```yaml
# Module agents include workflow integration
skills:
- workflow: "{project-root}/_bmad/{module-id}/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.md"
description: "From plan workflow list"
- workflow: "{project-root}/_bmad/{module-id}/workflows/{another-workflow}/workflow.md"
description: "From plan workflow list"
# Optional: Sidecar for complex modules
sidecar:
enabled: true
workflows:
- ref: "primary-workflow"
type: "primary"
- ref: "secondary-workflow"
type: "support"
```
**CRITICAL ACTIONS MAPPING:**
```
For each critical action in plan:
1. Identify matching command in YAML
2. Add `critical: true` flag
3. Ensure handler references agent function
```
### 5. Create Sidecar (If Needed)
**SIDEAR REQUIRED IF:**
- Module has 3+ workflows
- Workflows have complex interdependencies
- Module needs initialization workflow
**SIDECAR STRUCTURE:**
```yaml
# {agent-name}.sidecar.yaml
sidecar:
module: "{module-id}"
initialization:
workflow: "workflow-init"
required: true
workflows:
- name: "workflow-name"
path: "workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.md"
type: "primary|support|utility"
dependencies: []
agent:
path: "{agent-name}.agent.yaml"
```
**IF SIDEAR NOT NEEDED**: Skip this step
### 6. Write Module Agent YAML
```
Write: agentYamlOutput (using dynamic path)
Content: Assembled YAML from step 4
```
**Validation Checklist:**
- [ ] All plan fields present in YAML
- [ ] Workflow paths are valid and correct
- [ ] Critical actions flagged
- [ ] Sidecar created (if needed) or skipped (if not)
- [ ] YAML syntax is valid
- [ ] Language choice preserved throughout
