<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {installed_path}/workflow.yaml</critical>
<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language}</critical>
<critical>Generate all documents in {document_output_language}</critical>
<critical>This workflow assembles a Story Context file for a single drafted story by extracting acceptance criteria, tasks, relevant docs/code, interfaces, constraints, and testing guidance.</critical>
<critical>If {story_path} is provided, use it. Otherwise, find the first story with status "drafted" in sprint-status.yaml. If none found, HALT.</critical>
<critical>Check if context file already exists. If it does, ask user if they want to replace it, verify it, or cancel.</critical>

**Story Details:**

- Story: {{epic_id}}.{{story_id}} - {{story_title}}
- Story Key: {{story_key}}
- Context File: {default_output_file}
- Status: drafted → ready-for-dev

**Context Includes:**

- Documentation artifacts and references
- Existing code and interfaces
- Dependencies and frameworks
- Testing standards and ideas
- Development constraints

**Next Steps:**

1. Review the context file: {default_output_file}
2. Run `dev-story` to implement the story
3. Generate context for more drafted stories if needed
