bmad-dev-story

Implement sprint stories by executing ordered tasks directly from a context-filled spec file, ensuring acceptance criteria and developer notes are satisfied. This guided workflow reduces ambiguity and enforces strict edit boundaries to prevent unauthorized changes.

Red-green-refactor is a development discipline that drives story implementation by writing failing tests first, adding minimal code to pass them, then refactoring while keeping tests green. This ensures robust test coverage throughout the sprint workflow.

Validate the definition of done by enforcing completion gates that check if tests exist and pass, acceptance criteria are satisfied, the file list and change log are updated, and only permitted story sections were modified during implementation.

Yes, this story implementation workflow applies to both sprint-based and standalone development. You can explicitly provide a story file path to execute the full implementation workflow regardless of sprint planning context.

Handle unresolved review follow-ups by detecting the Senior Developer Review context and prioritizing outstanding Review Follow-ups items. The workflow automatically identifies these items and addresses them during story implementation.

Start story implementation by providing the path to your story markdown file. The workflow locates the next ready-for-dev story or uses your explicitly provided file to execute tasks in order from the story's Dev Notes.
