# Step 8: Architecture Completion & Handoff

**Goal:** Complete the architecture workflow, celebrate what was accomplished, and guide the user to the implementation phase.

## COMPLETION SEQUENCE

### 1. Congratulate the User

Summarize what you built together and genuinely celebrate the achievement — both the thoroughness of the decisions made and the collaboration that produced them.

### 2. Update Document Frontmatter

```yaml
stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
workflowType: 'architecture'
lastStep: 8
status: 'complete'
completedAt: '{{current_date}}'
```

### 3. Next Steps

Architecture complete. Read fully and follow: `{project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/help.md`

Upon completion, offer to answer any questions about the Architecture Document.
