Invoking Agents

Agents are invoked through their menu commands. Each agent has specific triggers: 
# Examples
BP  # Mary - Brainstorm Project
CP  # John - Create PRD
CU  # Sally - Create UX Design
CA  # Winston - Create Architecture
SP  # Bob - Sprint Planning
DS  # Amelia - Dev Story
QA  # Quinn - Generate Tests
WD  # Paige - Write Document
See individual agent pages for complete command references.

Agent Configuration

All agents are defined in YAML files located at: 
src/bmm/agents/
├── pm.agent.yaml
