Automate execution workflows by mapping confirmed intents to BMAD phases with exit criteria and governance overlays. This transforms build, fix, review, debug, docs, and Scrum ceremony tasks into deterministic, repeatable execution paths with reliable handoffs.

The BMAD four-phase approach is a workflow planning method that applies explicit exit criteria and cross-cutting routing overlays. It gates engineering, product, and Scrum ceremony tasks through ordered phases with phase X verification and optional reasoning rigor.

Generate deterministic workflows by providing a confirmed task description to the Autopilot. It routes Scrum ceremonies and debugging tasks through BMAD phases, encoding steps, scope, and coordination signals into an output contract with planning and handoff templates.

Apply governance overlays and optional reasoning rigor to automated engineering workflows using cross-cutting routing. This includes thinking-partner and teaching modes that enforce phase X verification and explicit exit criteria across build, fix, review, and docs paths.

Ensure reliable handoffs by encoding steps, scope, and coordination signals into a structured output contract. The Autopilot generates planning and handoff templates that gate execution paths through BMAD phases with deterministic exit criteria.

Phase X verification is needed when automated workflow orchestration requires deterministic gating between execution steps. It validates exit criteria across build, fix, review, debug, docs, and Scrum ceremony tasks before advancing to the next BMAD phase.
