* refactor(bmad-ux): replace bmad-create-ux-design with lean spine-based bmad-ux
* refactor(bmad-ux): adopt DESIGN.md spec, split into two-file spine, align prd/brief
DESIGN.md (visual identity per the Google Labs spec) and EXPERIENCE.md
(behavior, flow, IA) replace the single design.md spine. EXPERIENCE.md
cross-references DESIGN.md tokens via the spec's {path.to.token} syntax.
Example suite restructure
- 3 DESIGN.md examples: editorial (Stitch source / Linen & Logic), calm
native mobile (Quill), shadcn-on-Tailwind web SaaS (Drift)
- 2 paired EXPERIENCE.md examples (Quill, Drift); Linen & Logic unpaired
to model the Stitch handoff scenario
- Replaces the prior 2-example combined spine set
Discovery additions (outcome-driven, one line each)
- Source scan: glob {planning_artifacts}/ for candidates, parent never reads
- Form-factor: resolve before IA closes; journeys often derive it
- Surface closure: every stated need has a surface, every surface a journey
- Named-protagonist journeys (Mary, not "the user")
- Design handoff working mode (extensible producer registry, default: Stitch)
PRD and brief alignment with same insights
- bmad-prd: dropped standalone Primary Persona section from template;
renamed "Personas + Journeys" entry to "Journey-led"; named-protagonist
rule on UJs; form-factor probe; validation checklist updated
- bmad-product-brief: form-factor surfaced in Discovery topics
Quality scan fixes
- Added ## Overview heading; renamed ## Activation to ## On Activation
- Replaced ../ paths in example assets with {planning_artifacts}/
- Sources section compressed (abstract delta-only rule)
- Working mode aligned to "Fast path" / "Coaching path" BMad-wide convention
New
- references/design-md-spec.md: working summary of the spec for the LLM
- customize.toml: design_md_examples, experience_md_examples,
design_handoffs registries
- .prettierignore: ignore .analysis/ quality-scan artifacts repo-wide
* refactor(bmad-ux): activation parity with prd/brief, opt-in reviewer gate, no headline grade
- Restructure On Activation as numbered six-step list mirroring bmad-prd
and bmad-product-brief, restoring the explicit key-resolution list that
earlier crammed-paragraph form had dropped (planning_artifacts and
friends were silently unresolved at Create).
- Make Reviewer Gate opt-in and lens-selectable. At Finalize, ask before
spending tokens on parallel reviewer subagents; at Validate intent,
skip that question but still confirm lens picks. Stops the auto-run
WCAG audit on hobby-stakes work.
- Drop the overall validation grade. Per-category verdicts and severity
counts already say what is true; a single headline grade conflated
design rigor with release readiness and led "POOR" pills landing on
reports whose own bodies described the work as strong. Removed from
references/validate.md (ladder rule + markdown twin), HTML template
(grade pill div + CSS vars + classes).
- Trim creative-tools.md: drop the Custom entries section. Runtime
prompt files should only carry what the LLM needs to act in this
moment; how-to-extend-via-TOML is setup-time human documentation
already covered by customize.toml comments.
* fix(bmad-ux): align validation report template with 8-category rubric
Template placeholders referenced 'Decision-readiness' and 'seven dimensions'
from the prior rubric. Replace with TEMPLATE_CATEGORY_NAME and inline the
eight canonical categories from references/validate.md so the synthesis pass
names them verbatim.
* fix(validate-skills): remove stale WF-01/WF-02 rules
WF-01/WF-02 were originally scoped to workflow.md files (now mostly gone)
but had been generalized to flag name/description in any non-SKILL.md
markdown. That over-captured legitimate spec files — e.g. DESIGN.md
examples in bmad-ux/assets/ that carry name/description per the Google
Labs DESIGN.md spec.
Step files are already covered by STEP-06. Rule count: 14 → 12.
* fix(bmad-ux): address PR review followups
- validation-report-template.html: severity badge class is badge-sev-*,
not sev-* (the comment misled the synthesis pass).
- Sweep dangling bmad-create-ux-design references: module-help.csv,
bmad-agent-ux-designer/customize.toml, bmad-prd/SKILL.md handoff list,
workflow-map.md (en + 4 translations), getting-started.md (en + 4
translations). Workflow-map output column updated to DESIGN.md +
EXPERIENCE.md.
- references/validate.md: Markdown capitalized as a proper noun.
