This rule defines the architecture workflow.

Workflow Description

Collaborative architectural decision facilitation for AI-agent consistency. Replaces template-driven architecture with intelligent, adaptive conversation that produces a decision-focused architecture document optimized for preventing agent conflicts.

Critical variables

config_source: "{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/config.yaml" output_folder: "{config_source}:output_folder" user_name: "{config_source}:user_name" communication_language: "{config_source}:communication_language" document_output_language: "{config_source}:document_output_language" user_skill_level: "{config_source}:user_skill_level" date: system-generated

Input requirements - We work from PRD, Epics, and optionally UX Spec

recommended_inputs:

• prd: "Product Requirements Document with FRs and NFRs"
• epics: "Epic definitions with user stories and acceptance criteria"
• ux_spec: "UX specification with interface designs and interaction patterns (optional)"

Smart input file references - handles both whole docs and sharded docs

Priority: Whole document first, then sharded version
