* feat(skills): add canonical bmad- naming via skill manifests
Add bmad-skill-manifest.yaml sidecars to all 38 capabilities (tasks,
agents, workflows) declaring canonicalId as the single source of truth
for skill names. Update Claude Code and Codex installers to prefer
canonicalId over path-derived names, with graceful fallback.
- 24 manifest files covering 38 capabilities
- New shared skill-manifest.js utility for manifest loading
- resolveSkillName() in path-utils.js bridges manifest → installer
- All command generators propagate canonicalId through CSV manifests
- Drops bmm module prefix from all user-facing skill names

* feat(skills): claude-code installer outputs .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
Refactor the config-driven installer to emit Agent Skills Open Standard
format for Claude Code: directory-per-skill with SKILL.md entrypoint,
unquoted YAML frontmatter, and full canonical names.

* refactor(installer): migrate codex to config-driven pipeline
Delete the custom codex.js installer (441 lines) and route Codex
through the config-driven pipeline via platform-codes.yaml. This
fixes 7 task/tool descriptions that were generic due to bypassing
manifests, and eliminates duplicate transformToSkillFormat code.
Key changes:
- Add codex entry to platform-codes.yaml with skill_format + legacy_targets
- Remove codex from custom installer list in manager.js
- Add installCustomAgentLauncher() to config-driven for custom agent support
- Add detect() override for skill_format platforms (bmad-prefix check)
- Set configDir from target_dir for base-class detect() compatibility

* fix(test): replace _bmad filesystem dependency with self-contained fixture
The installation component tests walked up the filesystem looking for a
pre-installed _bmad directory, which exists locally but not in CI. Replace
findInstalledBmadDir() with createTestBmadFixture() that creates a minimal
temp directory with fake compiled agents, making tests fully self-contained.

* feat: add custom GitHub Copilot installer handler
Adds a dedicated GitHub Copilot handler that generates:
- Agent files with .agent.md extension and enriched descriptions
- Prompt files (.prompt.md) for workflows, tasks, and agent activators
- copilot-instructions.md with project config and agent reference table
Replaces the generic config-driven handler with a custom one that
properly supports Copilot's agent/prompt file conventions.

* fix: escape YAML descriptions and preserve user copilot-instructions
- Escape single quotes in YAML frontmatter descriptions across all prompt
generators (createWorkflowPromptContent, createTechWriterPromptContent,
createAgentActivatorPromptContent) to match createAgentContent behavior
- Make copilot-instructions.md non-destructive using BMAD markers
(<!-- BMAD:START --> / <!-- BMAD:END -->) to preserve user content
- On cleanup, only remove content between markers; skip files without markers
- Back up existing unmarked files before overwriting

* fix: add error handling for CSV read/parse in loadAgentManifest and loadBmadHelp
Wrap file read and csv.parse in try/catch blocks so malformed or
unreadable CSV files gracefully degrade instead of aborting setup.

* fix: use specific detection paths instead of .github configDir
Set configDir to null and use detectionPaths with
.github/copilot-instructions.md and .github/agents/ so the base
detect() doesn't false-positive on every GitHub repo.

* docs: add comments explaining hardcoded bmm/config.yaml in prompts
Clarify that bmm/config.yaml is safe to hardcode in generated prompt
content because these prompts are only created when bmm module data
(bmad-help.csv, agent artifacts) exists.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: guard against missing workflow-file in bmad-help.csv entries
Skip entries where workflow-file is empty/undefined to prevent
workflowFile.endsWith() from throwing during prompt generation.

* fix: guard escapeYamlSingleQuote against undefined input
Default to empty string when value is undefined/null to prevent
replaceAll from throwing on missing CSV fields.

* feat: preserve customised tool permissions across reinstalls
Before this change, reinstalling would overwrite any user-customised
tools arrays in agent and prompt frontmatter with the hardcoded default.
Now the installer reads existing tool permissions from .agent.md and
.prompt.md files before cleanup, and re-applies them to the regenerated
files. Falls back to the default ['read', 'edit', 'search', 'execute']
for new files or files without prior customisation.

* fix: prevent cleanup from stripping copilot-instructions.md markers before generation
The cleanup() method was removing the BMAD marker section from
copilot-instructions.md, leaving user content without markers.
generateCopilotInstructions() then treated the markerless file as
legacy, backed it up, and overwrote user content.
Fix: remove the copilot-instructions.md block from cleanup() entirely.
generateCopilotInstructions() already handles marker-based replacement
in a single read-modify-write pass that correctly preserves user content.

* feat: make agent capabilities data-driven via agent YAML metadata
Replace the hardcoded getAgentCapabilities() map with a data-driven
pipeline. Capabilities are now defined in each .agent.yaml source file,
compiled into the XML output, extracted into agent-manifest.csv by the
manifest generator, and read by the GitHub Copilot handler at install
time. New agents automatically get their capabilities without code
changes.

* fix: restore agent files accidentally modified in Docusaurus merge
Restores 25 agent files to their pre-merge state:
- Trigger format with shortcuts (WS, CH, BP, etc.) restored
- Fuzzy matching syntax restored
- BMB module: restores separate agent-builder, module-builder,
workflow-builder agents; removes consolidated bmad-builder
Also updates test to match restored trigger format.
Note: Schema validation needs update in follow-up commit.
* fix: normalize trigger fuzzy match format for schema validation
- Add dashes to fuzzy match text to match kebab-case triggers
- Add missing 'chat' kebab in CH triggers (CH or chat or fuzzy match on chat)
- Relax schema to allow 1-3 char shortcuts and skip shortcut derivation check
- Remove compound-wrong-shortcut test fixture (no longer validated)
All 24 agent files now pass schema validation.
* feat: add documentation website with Docusaurus build pipeline
* feat(docs): add AI discovery meta tags for llms.txt files
- Add global headTags with ai-terms, llms, llms-full meta tags
- Update landing page link to clarify AI context purpose
* fix(docs): restore accidentally deleted faq.md and glossary.md
Files were removed in 12dd97fe during path restructuring.
* fix(docs): update broken project-readme links to GitHub URL
* feat(schema): add compound trigger format validation
- Installation path is now fully configurable, allowing users to specify custom installation directories during setup
- Default installation location changed to .bmad (hidden directory) for cleaner project root organization
Web Bundle Improvements:
- All web bundles (single agent and team) now include party mode support for multi-agent collaboration!
- Advanced elicitation capabilities integrated into standalone agents
- All bundles enhanced with party mode agent manifests
- Added default-party.csv files to bmm, bmgd, and cis module teams
- The default party file is what will be used with single agent bundles. teams can customize for different party configurations before web bundling through a setting in the team yaml file
- New web bundle outputs for all agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer, game-*, creative-squad)
Phase 4 Workflow Updates (In Progress):
- Initiated shift to separate phase 4 implementation artifacts from documentation
- Phase 4 implementation artifacts (stories, code review, sprint plan, context files) will move to dedicated location outside docs folder
- Installer questions and configuration added for artifact path selection
- Updated workflow.yaml files for code-review, sprint-planning, story-context, epic-tech-context, and retrospective workflows to support this, but still might require some udpates
Additional Changes:
- New agent and action command header models for standardization
- Enhanced web-bundle-activation-steps fragment
- Updated web-bundler.js to support new structure
- VS Code settings updated for new .bmad directory
- Party mode instructions and workflow enhanced for better orchestration
IDE Installer Updates:
- Show version number of installer in cli
- improved Installer UX
- Gemini TOML Improved to have clear loading instructions with @ commands
- All tools agent launcher mds improved to use a central file template critical indication isntead of hardcoding in 2 different locations.
Introduce automated validation for agent YAML files using Zod to ensure
schema compliance across all agent definitions. This feature validates
17 agent files across core and module directories, catching structural
errors and maintaining consistency.
Schema Validation (tools/schema/agent.js):
- Zod-based schema validating metadata, persona, menu, prompts, and critical actions
- Module-aware validation: module field required for src/modules/**/agents/,
optional for src/core/agents/
- Enforces kebab-case unique triggers and at least one command target per menu item
- Validates persona.principles as array (not string)
- Comprehensive refinements for data integrity
CLI Validator (tools/validate-agent-schema.js):
- Scans src/{core,modules/*}/agents/*.agent.yaml
- Parses with js-yaml and validates using Zod schema
- Reports detailed errors with file paths and field paths
- Exits 1 on failures, 0 on success
- Accepts optional project_root parameter for testing
Testing (679 lines across 3 test files):
- test/test-cli-integration.sh: CLI behavior and error handling tests
- test/unit-test-schema.js: Direct schema validation unit tests
- test/test-agent-schema.js: Comprehensive fixture-based tests
- 50 test fixtures covering valid and invalid scenarios
- ESLint configured to support CommonJS test files
- Prettier configured to ignore intentionally broken fixtures
CI Integration (.github/workflows/lint.yaml):
- Renamed from format-check.yaml to lint.yaml
- Added schema-validation job running npm run validate:schemas
- Runs in parallel with prettier and eslint jobs
- Validates on all pull requests
Data Cleanup:
- Fixed src/core/agents/bmad-master.agent.yaml: converted persona.principles
from string to array format
Documentation:
- Updated schema-classification.md with validation section
- Documents validator usage, enforcement rules, and CI integration
