# BMAD Story Pipeline
Complete the delivery pipeline for story `{ARGUMENT}` using configurable workflow.
## Pre-step: Determine Story Number
If `{ARGUMENT}` is empty or not provided:
1. Read `_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml` (or `docs/sprint/sprint-status.yaml`) to find stories
2. Find the first story with status "todo" or "in-progress"
3. Use that story number as `{STORY_ID}`
4. If no story found, ask user to specify story number
The story number format is typically `X-Y` (e.g., `1-1`, `2-3`).
## Execution Strategy
1. Read workflow steps from **references/workflow-steps.md**
2. Execute each step sequentially using Task tool (general-purpose agent)
3. Output progress after each step
4. After pipeline, update status to done
## Workflow Steps
Read and execute steps from **references/workflow-steps.md**.
For each step defined there, you MUST use the **Task tool** to execute in a subagent:
```
Task(
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "<Step description>",
prompt: "Execute the command: <COMMAND_WITH_STORY_ID>
Return: 1) Step completion status 2) Key outputs 3) Any issues to note"
)
```
### Example Invocations
**Step 1 - Create Story:**
```
Task(
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Create user story {STORY_ID}",
prompt: "Execute /bmad-bmm-create-story {STORY_ID} yolo to create story file. Return: 1) Story ID and Title 2) Created files 3) Any issues"
)
```
**Step 2 - ATDD Tests:**
```
Task(
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Generate ATDD tests for {STORY_ID}",
prompt: "Execute /bmad-tea-testarch-atdd {STORY_ID} yolo to generate acceptance tests. Return: 1) ATDD checklist 2) Test files created 3) Any issues"
)
```
**Step 3 - Development:**
```
Task(
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Develop user story {STORY_ID}",
prompt: "Execute /bmad-bmm-dev-story {STORY_ID} yolo to implement story code. Return: 1) Modified files 2) Summary of changes 3) Any issues"
)
```
**Step 4 - Code Review:**
```
Task(
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Code review for {STORY_ID}",
prompt: "Execute /bmad-bmm-code-review {STORY_ID} yolo for adversarial review. Return: 1) Conclusion (pass/needs-fix) 2) Issues by severity 3) Any blocking issues"
)
```
**Step 5 - Trace Coverage:**
```
Task(
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Trace test coverage for {STORY_ID}",
prompt: "Execute /bmad-tea-testarch-trace {STORY_ID} yolo for traceability matrix. Return: 1) Coverage percentage 2) Gate decision 3) Any gaps"
)
```
### Execution Flow
For each step:
1. Replace `{STORY_ID}` with the actual story number in the prompt
2. Call Task tool with the step's description and prompt
3. Wait for completion and capture result
4. Output progress: `[X/5] Step Name - Status`
5. If step fails, stop and report error
## Progress Display
After each step, output progress:
```
📊 Pipeline Progress: [X/5] ████████░░░░ 40%
✅ Step X: <Step Name>
Result: <Brief result summary>
```
## Error Handling
If any step fails:
1. Stop executing subsequent steps
2. Output error information:
```
❌ Pipeline Failed at Step X: <Step Name>
Error: <Error details>
💡 Suggested actions:
- Check the story file for issues
- Run the failed step manually: <command>
- Fix the issue and restart pipeline
```
3. Do NOT proceed to next steps
## Post-Pipeline: Update Status
After ALL steps complete successfully:
1. **Update sprint-status.yaml**:
- Find the story entry
- Change status from `in-progress` to `done`
2. **Update story document** (if exists):
- Change `Status:` to `done`
- Mark all tasks with ✅
Output final summary:
```
🎉 Pipeline Complete!
Story: {STORY_ID}
Status: done
📋 Steps completed: 5/5
✅ Create User Story
✅ Generate ATDD Tests
✅ Development
✅ Code Review
✅ Trace Test Coverage
```
