Drumjangler Project Bmad

Drumjangler Project BMAD Guardrails

Purpose

Keep Drumjangler aligned with the real BMad Method installation and the product north star: a drummer co-pilot teaching app, not only a stem-splitting utility.

Required Orientation

1. Run scripts/session-hooks/session-start.sh at the start of meaningful planning or development work.
2. Confirm the formal BMAD install exists at _bmad/. If uncertain, run npx --yes bmad-method@latest status.
3. Fetch and read the Linear document named Drumjangler Operating Ledger: https://linear.app/delorenj/document/drumjangler-operating-ledger-1dc19818bd1f
4. Treat _bmad/ plus the official bmad-* skills as the source of BMAD workflow. Do not invent alternate BMAD directories, commands, prompts, or document systems.
5. Use bmad-help when workflow routing is unclear. Then use the specific official BMAD skill it recommends, such as bmad-prd, bmad-create-epics-and-stories, bmad-create-story, bmad-dev-story, bmad-quick-dev, or bmad-code-review.
6. Read existing _bmad-output/ artifacts before planning. The top-level files are legacy bootstrap artifacts; reconcile them into the installed planning-artifacts/ and implementation-artifacts/ layout as work proceeds.
7. Treat Linear ticket status as evidence to verify, not truth to trust. Reconcile tickets against the repo and app behavior before closing, reopening, or implementing.
8. Prioritize MVP work that advances the beta path: library/history, local watch/import, original/drums/drumless playback, token economics, purchase flow, and reliable split processing.
9. If BMAD artifacts are missing or stale, rerun the installer rather than hand-creating BMAD internals:

npx --yes bmad-method@latest install --modules bmm --tools codex,claude-code --output-folder _bmad-output

Session End

Run scripts/session-hooks/session-end.sh before finalizing meaningful planning or development work.

Update the Linear Drumjangler Operating Ledger every meaningful session. If Now / Next / Later did not change, append a session note with:

Horizon impact: none. Status quo preserved.

Issue Closure Discipline

Follow docs/operations/agent-operating-contract.md for all issue-state changes.

• Start issue work with scripts/agent/issue-start.sh <ISSUE_ID>.
• Inspect evidence with scripts/agent/issue-evidence.sh <ISSUE_ID>.
• Do not close or recommend closing Linear issues unless scripts/agent/issue-close-gate.sh <ISSUE_ID> passes.
• If the gate fails, keep the issue open and record the missing evidence.
• Workflow scripts emit BloodBank-style local events; the event contract lives at docs/operations/bloodbank-events.md.

Output Discipline

• Planning artifacts belong under _bmad-output/planning-artifacts/.
• Implementation artifacts, stories, reviews, sprint status, and retrospectives belong under _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/.
• Durable product or engineering knowledge belongs under docs/.
• Keep changes tied to repo evidence, Linear evidence, or BMAD workflow outputs.
• The detailed BMAD + Linear hook contract lives at docs/operations/bmad-linear-operating-model.md.
• The multi-agent operating contract lives at docs/operations/agent-operating-contract.md.
• The BloodBank workflow event contract lives at docs/operations/bloodbank-events.md.
