Numbered steps executing FIRST on agent activation.

Quick Reference

hasSidecar	critical_actions
true	MANDATORY - load memories, instructions, restrict file access
false	OPTIONAL - only if activation behavior needed

---

Patterns

hasSidecar: true (MANDATORY)

critical_actions:
  - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/memories.md'
  - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/instructions.md'
  - 'ONLY read/write files in {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/'

hasSidecar: false (OPTIONAL)

critical_actions:
  - 'Show inspirational quote before menu'
  - 'Fetch latest stock prices before displaying menu'
  - 'Review {project-root}/finances/ for most recent data'

hasSidecar: true + extras

critical_actions:
  - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/memories.md'
  - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/instructions.md'
  - 'ONLY read/write files in {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/'
  - 'Search web for biotech headlines, display before menu'

Path Patterns

Use	Pattern
Sidecar memory	{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/file.md
Project data	{project-root}/path/to/file.csv
Output	{output_folder}/results/

Key: {project-root} = literal text in YAML, resolved at runtime

Dos & Don'ts

✅ DO	❌ DON'T
Use Load COMPLETE file	Use Load file or Load ./path/file.md
Restrict file access for sidecars	Duplicate compiler functions (persona, menu, greeting)
Use for activation-time behavior	Put philosophical guidance (use principles)

---

Compiler Auto-Adds (Don't Duplicate)

• Load persona
• Load configuration
• Menu system initialization
• Greeting/handshake
