From c52c9b5b0ec8d9daa5666bd5b4bb4675cd5a764c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 16:45:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/26] feat(bmad-prd): new PRD skill + product-brief updates (#2378) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * feat(bmm): add bmad-prd skill and extend product-brief with external integrations Consolidates the legacy create-prd/edit-prd/validate-prd trio into a single lean facilitator with create/update/validate intent modes, following the bmad-product-brief pattern. Both skills gain external_sources and external_handoffs customize.toml fields for routing through corporate MCP tools (Confluence, Jira, etc.) with graceful degradation, plus a File roles constraint clarifying decision-log (audit trail) vs addendum (preserved depth for downstream docs). * refactor(bmad-prd): tighten SKILL.md and operationalize source-extractor pattern - Compress Overview to remove coaching prose duplicated in Discovery - Operationalize "Extract, don't ingest" with explicit subagent return contract; reference from Update, Validate, and Finalize input reconciliation instead of inline "read N documents" - Fix Overview H1 -> H2 (was breaking pre-pass tooling) - Move full headless JSON schemas to assets/headless-schemas.md; keep minimal example inline - Compress File roles bullet; tighten Finalize step 1 SKILL.md: 124 -> 105 lines, ~4729 -> ~4467 tokens * feat(bmad-prd): open-items gate, drop distillate, persona discipline, decision-log metadata - Add Finalize "Open-items review" step (new step 4): counts OQs / [ASSUMPTION] / [NOTE FOR PM], walks them with user, flags high density as red flag against agreed stakes - Validate now treats open-items density as a first-class finding category - Resume / continuity surfaces open items deterministically as the first orientation step - Drop the PRD's own distillate output and the bmad-distillator finalize step. Downstream workflows (UX, architecture, story creation) source-extract from prd.md directly via the canonical source-extractor pattern. Headless schemas, customize.toml comments, and template updated accordingly. - Drop "status: draft" from PRD frontmatter and template; version/state transitions logged to decision-log.md instead. Finalize step 7 records the version transition entry. - Add PRD Discipline bullet: personas must be research-grounded or marked [ILLUSTRATIVE]; must drive decisions; 2-4 personas max. Discipline pass enforces. - Expand File roles bullet: competitive-analysis detail beyond a one-line landscape and operational/cost mechanics (rate-limiting, compression) belong in addendum * feat(bmad-prd): outcome-driven trim, swappable validation checklist, HTML report SKILL.md trim (4.7K -> ~3.2K tokens, 124 -> 93 lines): - Cut anchor enumerations (HIPAA/PCI/NIST list, API/Mobile/Web list, hobby->regulated list, "fast/easy/scalable/intuitive", input enumerations, etc.) the LLM already knows - Cut derivable reasoning (synonyms-cause-drift explanation, hobby-vs-enterprise examples, etc.) - Cut good/bad examples that anchor LLM attention (password/SendGrid example, persona quote, "let me also add this nearby thing") - Drop SMART-ceremony language from Measurable bullet (keep judgment-not-ritual; SMART principles fine) Progressive disclosure to references/: - Headless mode rules + JSON minimal example moved to references/headless.md (loaded only when invoked headless) - On Activation step 6 gates mode detection: headless -> read references/headless.md and follow Swappable validation checklist: - New assets/prd-validation-checklist.md (15 items: Quality / Discipline / Structural / Stakes-gated, each one line) - New customize.toml field validation_checklist (override per org) - Used by Validate intent AND Finalize Step 3 -- same subagent, same checklist, two moments - Replaces bmad-validate-prd's 13-step micro-file architecture; kept the valuable check dimensions (density, measurability, traceability, implementation leakage, etc.) and dropped the ceremony HTML validation report: - New scripts/render-validation-html.py (PEP 723, stdlib only, ~175 lines) renders structured findings JSON into a styled HTML report with pass/warn/fail grade, inline SVG score bar, category grouping - New assets/validation-report-template.html (inline CSS, native
, no JS, no external deps) -- swappable via customize.toml validation_report_template - New references/validation-render.md documents the subagent output contract and renderer invocation; loaded only when validate flow runs - Auto-opens browser on interactive runs; headless skips the open Mode flow consistency: - Create and Update both now explicitly "proceed to ## Finalize" - Validate / analyze is standalone -- explicit "does NOT enter ## Finalize"; renderer auto-opens the HTML - analyze is a synonym for validate; intent detection routes both - Update mode no longer has its own light-close validation step (Finalize Step 3 covers it) * refactor(product-brief,bmad-prd): remove distillation from brief and PRD workflows Drop bmad-distillator integration from bmad-product-brief (finalize step, update mode, headless JSON, constraints) and clean up customize.toml comments. Distillation is the wrong layer — story self-containment via epic solution design docs is the right answer for downstream context. Also commit pending bmad-prd changes: working mode selector (Express vs Facilitative), open-items triage into phase-blocking/resolvable/deferred buckets, persistence wording fix, and facilitation-guide reference. * refactor(bmad-prd): aggressive SKILL.md compression, remove LLM-obvious content * feat(bmad-prd,bmad-product-brief): surface party-mode and advanced-elicitation at opening * refactor(bmm): retire bmad-create-prd/edit/validate, point docs and PM agent at bmad-prd Removes the three separate PRD skills (create, edit, validate) in favor of the unified bmad-prd skill. Updates module-help.csv, PM agent menu, workflow map, getting-started tutorial, commands reference, customize/help SKILL.md examples, and the website workflow-map diagram. Adds Recipe 6 (Advanced Integration Patterns) to expand-bmad-for-your-org.md covering external_sources, external_handoffs, doc_standards, and swappable templates. * test(bmad-product-brief): drop distillate from evals Distillate was removed from the product-brief workflow in 1a88f001 but the eval suite still checked for distillate.md artifacts, the bmad-distillator subagent invocation, and the polish→distillate phase ordering. Strip all distillate references from A1/A5/B1/B2/B3/B5/B6, remove B4 (phase-ordering eval centered on distillate) and B8 (pure distillate eval), update _design_notes, and delete the orphan distillate.md fixture from the forkbird-brief input set. IDs preserved (gaps at B4, B8) so existing references stay stable. * fix(bmad-prd): validation report only on explicit analysis request Reconciles a contradiction across SKILL.md, validation-render.md, headless.md, and headless-schemas.md about when validation-report.{html,md} gets written. Rule: a report file is only written when the user has specifically asked for analysis — Validate intent, or a mid-session "produce a report" request. The Finalize discipline pass during Create/Update keeps findings in-conversation: autofix obvious issues, ask on ambiguous ones, never write a file. - SKILL.md: Finalize step 3 no longer renders a report; Validate intent wording softened from "HTML report" to "validation report". - references/validation-render.md: drops the severity-based conditional for markdown emission. Script now always writes both HTML and MD side-by-side when invoked; trigger gating happens upstream. - assets/headless-schemas.md: drops the "may be omitted in interactive mode" caveat; validation_report is required for Validate intent. - scripts/render-validation-html.py: adds render_markdown_report() emitting a severity-grouped markdown companion at output_path.with_suffix('.md'). Returns markdown path in the stdout JSON summary alongside HTML path. * fix(bmm-skills): address remaining PR review nits - headless-schemas.md: Update schema gains `external_handoffs` to match SKILL.md which routes Update through Finalize (handoffs execute there). - bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md: "Use the bmad-help skill" → "Invoke bmad-help" to align with REF-03 and the bmad-prd phrasing. - bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md: hyphenate "high-quality draft". * feat(bmm): add deprecation shims for retired PRD skills Re-adds bmad-create-prd, bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd as thin compatibility shims so existing invocations by name and _bmad/custom/bmad-{create,edit,validate}-prd.toml override files keep working post-consolidation. Each shim contains only SKILL.md and customize.toml — no steps, data, or templates. On activation, each shim: 1. Resolves customization via resolve_customization.py, picking up any legacy override files for the four legacy fields (activation_steps_*, persistent_facts, on_complete). 2. Emits a one-time deprecation notice in {communication_language}, pointing at bmad-prd and the migration path for override files. 3. Invokes bmad-prd with the appropriate intent (create / update / validate), passes through the resolved legacy customization with instruction to use these values instead of re-resolving from bmad-prd's own customize.toml, and forwards the original user input verbatim. bmad-prd continues to read its own customize.toml + bmad-prd.toml overrides for the new-only fields (prd_template, validation_checklist, doc_standards, output_dir, output_folder_name, external_sources, external_handoffs, validation_report_template). Users wanting those fields must migrate to invoking bmad-prd directly. * polish(bmm): refine PRD deprecation shim wording Three small revisions applied uniformly to all three shims (bmad-create-prd, bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd): - Tighten the frontmatter description to a single sentence naming the intent and signaling v7 removal. - Drop the redundant "On failure, surface the diagnostic and halt." trailer from the resolve-customization step; resolve_customization.py surfaces errors itself. - Extend the user-facing deprecation notice to clarify that legacy override fields still resolve under bmad-prd, so migration is for unlocking new fields rather than restoring lost functionality. * fix(bmad-prd): normalize status casing and add friendly file errors - compute_stats: lower-case `status` before bucketing so findings with any casing (e.g. "Pass") feed the stat buckets and the score bar fills correctly. Matches the .lower() pattern already used in render_finding and render_finding_md. - main: wrap findings/template read_text calls; emit a one-line error to stderr and return 1 on FileNotFoundError or JSONDecodeError instead of dumping a raw traceback. Script is LLM-invoked, so a clean diagnostic is the contract. Addresses augmentcode review comments 3235100013 and 3235100018. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) * docs(expand): refresh "five recipes" copy to reflect Recipe 6 Recipe 6 (Advanced Integration Patterns) was added but three earlier mentions still said "five": the frontmatter description, the intro sentence at line 8, and the "Combining Recipes" paragraph. Update all three to "six" and extend the Combining-Recipes example to call out Recipe 6 (external_sources / external_handoffs) alongside the others. Addresses coderabbitai review comment 3235107194 and the two outside-diff observations on lines 3 and 8. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) * fix(bmad-prd): utf-8 encoding on render script, correct workflow-map outputs - render-validation-html.py reads findings/template and writes HTML/MD with explicit utf-8 encoding so non-ASCII content (smart quotes, em-dashes, non-English text under {document_output_language}) does not break on platforms whose default encoding is not utf-8. - workflow-map.md 'Produces' column for bmad-prd now distinguishes Create/Update outputs from the Validate intent's validation-report artifacts. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context)

It pairs with the `bmad-agent-dev.toml` cust Keep the IDE file **succinct**. A dozen well-chosen lines are more effective than a sprawling list. Models read it every turn, and noise crowds out signal. +## Recipe 6: Advanced Integration Patterns + +Several BMad workflows expose a richer configuration surface beyond the basics covered in Recipes 1–5. These patterns — on-demand knowledge sources, automatic output publishing, finalize-time doc standards, and swappable templates — appear across multiple workflows. Check a workflow's `customize.toml` to see which fields it exposes; the examples below use `bmad-prd` because it exposes all of them, but the same patterns apply wherever the field appears. + +### On-demand knowledge sources (`external_sources`) + +Connect the workflow to internal knowledge bases, competitive databases, or compliance references. The agent consults these on demand when the conversation surfaces a matching need — never preemptively. + +```toml +# _bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml (same pattern works in any workflow that exposes external_sources) + +[workflow] +external_sources = [ + "When the user mentions a competitor or market segment, query corp:competitive_db (category={project_name}) before drafting the differentiation section.", + "For regulatory domains (healthcare, fintech, education), consult corp:compliance_reference before drafting domain-specific sections.", +] +``` + +Each entry is a natural-language directive naming the MCP tool, the trigger condition, and any fields the tool needs. If the tool is unavailable at runtime, the workflow falls back to standard behavior and notes the gap. + +### Automatic output publishing (`external_handoffs`) + +Route completed artifacts to external systems of record after the workflow finalizes. Unlike `on_complete` (Recipe 3), `external_handoffs` is a dedicated append array — team entries stack, and each handoff fires independently with graceful degradation if a tool is unavailable. + +```toml +# _bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml (same pattern works in any workflow that exposes external_handoffs) + +[workflow] +external_handoffs = [ + "After finalize, upload prd.md and addendum.md to Confluence via corp:confluence_upload (space_key='PROD', parent_page='PRDs', label='prd', author={user_name}).

Broader structural passes should come before narrower prose passes. + +### Swappable templates and checklists + +Workflows that produce structured documents typically expose template and checklist paths as overridable scalars. Point them at org-owned files under `{project-root}` to enforce a different structure without editing any source. + +```toml +# _bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml + +[workflow] +# Regulated-industry PRD structure +prd_template = "{project-root}/docs/enterprise/prd-template-hipaa.md" + +# Org-specific validation criteria +validation_checklist = "{project-root}/docs/enterprise/prd-checklist-regulated.md" +``` + +The agent adapts to whatever structure the template defines. Keep templates under `{project-root}/docs/` or `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/templates/` so they version alongside the override file.

Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_append}` in order. ## Intent Operating Modes **Create.** A brief the user is proud of, that meets their needs, drawn out through real conversation — do not assume: instead converse and understand, and then help craft the best product brief for their needs. Begin in `## Discovery` before drafting; the brief comes after the picture is on the table. Shape follows the product and need. Treat `{workflow.brief_template}` as a starting structure, not a contract: drop sections that do not earn their place, add sections the product needs, reorder freely - create sections for specialized domains or concerns also as needed. The brief serves the product's story, not the template's shape. Bind `{doc_workspace}` to a fresh folder at `{workflow.output_dir}/{workflow.output_folder_name}/` and write `brief.md` there with YAML frontmatter (title, status, created, updated). For Update and Validate, `{doc_workspace}` is the existing folder of the brief being targeted. -**Update.** Reconcile an existing brief with a change signal (edit request, downstream artifact, anything). Read the brief, the addendum if present, `decision-log.md`, and any original inputs first — past decisions and rejected ideas matter. Then run the `## Discovery` posture against the change signal before proposing changes. Identify what is now stale or wrong, propose changes, apply on agreement, bump `updated`, and write a new `decision-log.md` entry recording what changed and why — every update, clean or override, must be logged. If the change signal contradicts prior decisions, surface the conflict before changing anything. In headless mode, if the prompt clearly signals intent to override the contradicted decision, write the full audit trail first, then apply the change — you must: (1) add a new entry to `decision-log.md` naming the decision being reversed and its rationale, (2) add an override section to `addendum.md` (creating it if absent). Both are mandatory before modifying `brief.md`; do not wait for user confirmation. If intent to override is ambiguous, halt with `blocked` status naming the specific conflict. If the change is fundamental, name it as a re-draft and offer Create instead. If `distillate.md` exists, you must regenerate it after changes are applied by invoking `bmad-distillator`; this step is required, not optional. If `bmad-distillator` is unavailable, flag the distillate as stale in the JSON output. +**Update.** Reconcile an existing brief with a change signal. Before proposing changes, read the brief, addendum, `decision-log.md`, and original inputs — and run the `## Discovery` posture against the change signal (a patch applied without context becomes drift). Surface conflicts with prior decisions before changing. Headless override: log the reversal to `decision-log.md`, then apply; halt `blocked` if intent is ambiguous. If the change is fundamental, offer Create instead of patching. **Validate.** Honest critique against the brief's own purpose. Read the brief, the addendum if present, `decision-log.md`, and any original inputs first — a validation that ignores prior decisions, rejected ideas, or context the user supplied is shallow.

Scoping Decision Framework - -Use structured decision-making for scope: - -**Must-Have Analysis:** -- Guide identification of absolute MVP necessities -- For each journey and success criterion, ask: - - Without this, does the product fail? - - Can this be manual initially? - - Is this a deal-breaker for early adopters? -- Analyze journeys for MVP essentials - -**Nice-to-Have Analysis:** -- Identify what could be added later: - - Features that enhance but aren't essential - - User types that can be added later - - Advanced functionality that builds on MVP -- Ask what features could be added in versions 2, 3, etc. - -**⚠️ SCOPE CHANGE CONFIRMATION GATE:** -- If you believe any user-specified requirement should be deferred or de-scoped, you MUST present this to the user and get explicit confirmation BEFORE removing it from scope -- Frame it as a recommendation, not a decision: "I'd recommend deferring X because [reason].

UX Designer reads FRs → designs interactions for each capability -2. Architect reads FRs → designs systems to support each capability -3. PM reads FRs → creates epics and stories to implement each capability - -### 2. Review Existing Content for Capability Extraction - -Systematically review all previous sections to extract capabilities: - -**Extract From:** - -- Executive Summary → Core product differentiator capabilities -- Success Criteria → Success-enabling capabilities -- User Journeys → Journey-revealed capabilities -- Domain Requirements → Compliance and regulatory capabilities -- Innovation Patterns → Innovative feature capabilities -- Project-Type Requirements → Technical capability needs - -### 3. Organize Requirements by Capability Area - -Group FRs by logical capability areas (NOT by technology or layer): - -**Good Grouping Examples:** - -- ✅ "User Management" (not "Authentication System") -- ✅ "Content Discovery" (not "Search Algorithm") -- ✅ "Team Collaboration" (not "WebSocket Infrastructure") - -**Target 5-8 Capability Areas** for typical projects. - -### 4. Generate Comprehensive FR List - -Create complete functional requirements using this format: - -**Format:** - -- FR#: [Actor] can [capability] [context/constraint if needed] -- Number sequentially (FR1, FR2, FR3...) -- Aim for 20-50 FRs for typical projects - -**Altitude Check:** -Each FR should answer "WHAT capability exists?"

"Could an Architect read ONLY the FRs and know what to support?" -6. "Are there any user actions or system behaviors we discussed that have no FR?" - -**Altitude Check:** - -1. "Am I stating capabilities (WHAT) or implementation (HOW)?" -2. "Am I listing acceptance criteria or UI specifics?" (Remove if yes) -3. "Could this FR be implemented 5 different ways?" (Good - means it's not prescriptive) - -**Quality Check:** - -1. "Is each FR clear enough that someone could test whether it exists?" -2. "Is each FR independent (not dependent on reading other FRs to understand)?" -3. "Did I avoid vague terms like 'good', 'fast', 'easy'?" (Use NFRs for quality attributes) - -### 6.

Resolve customization: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow`.

It now forwards to `bmad-prd` with update intent. To silence this notice and access the full new customization surface (`prd_template`, `validation_checklist`, `doc_standards`, `external_sources`, `external_handoffs`, `output_dir`, `output_folder_name`), migrate `_bmad/custom/bmad-edit-prd.toml` to `_bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml` and invoke `bmad-prd` directly next time.

Discovery first, drafting second. Bind `{doc_workspace}` to a fresh folder at `{workflow.output_dir}/{workflow.output_folder_name}/` and write `prd.md` there with YAML frontmatter (title, created, updated). Version and state transitions live in `decision-log.md`. For Update and Validate, `{doc_workspace}` is the existing folder of the PRD being targeted. When drafting is complete, proceed to `## Finalize`. + +**Update.** Reconcile an existing PRD with a change signal. Orient via source extractors (see `## Constraints` → Extract, don't ingest) against the PRD, addendum, `decision-log.md`, and original inputs — then run the `## Discovery` posture against the change signal. Surface conflicts with prior decisions before changing. If the change is fundamental, offer Create instead of patching. When changes are applied, proceed to `## Finalize`. + +**Validate** (or *analyze*). Critique an existing PRD against `{workflow.validation_checklist}`. Standalone — does NOT enter `## Finalize`. Orient via source extractors against `decision-log.md` and any original inputs to give the validator context. Spawn the validator subagent against `prd.md` (and `addendum.md` if present); produce findings and a validation report per `references/validation-render.md`. Always offer to roll findings into an Update. + +## Discovery + +Open with space for the full picture: invite a brain dump, inputs, ideas, WHY they are doing this. Read what exists first; ask only what is missing. After the dump, a simple "anything else?" often surfaces what they almost forgot. + +Before drafting, read the situation across four dimensions — they determine the PRD's shape: + +- **Stakes.** Calibrates rigor, section depth, and which adapt-in clusters apply. +- **Audience.** Drives tone, evidence requirements, and approval sections. +- **Existing inputs.** Existing artifacts mean those parts of the PRD reference, not relitigate. When project-context, prior PRDs, or existing UX/architecture are present, this is brownfield — frame Discovery around what is new or changing. +- **Downstream depth.** Whole spec for a small build, or top of a chain through UX → architecture → epics → stories? Affects how much the PRD encodes vs. defers. + +**Right-skill check.** Once the situation is read, sanity-check that PRD is the best tool. Three cases where it isn't: + +- **Games** → suggest `bmad-gds` for the Game Design Document. +- **Small scope + wants a captured artifact** (small tweak to an existing codebase, single doc to point at) → stay here and produce an *all-inclusive document*: lean spine plus inline Stories via the adapt-in Stories cluster. +- **Express implementation** (wants to build now, no planning chain or captured artifact needed) → suggest `bmad-quick-dev`. + +Surface these honestly and let the user choose; if they prefer this skill anyway, proceed with the right-sized version. + +Coach, do not quiz. Push hardest on PRD Discipline risks — unexamined assumptions, capability-vs-implementation confusion, term drift, scope creep, ambiguity for downstream readers. Suggest research if needed and have subagents use web search tools as needed. + +**Working mode.** Once the situational read is complete, offer the user a choice before proceeding — one sentence per option: + +- **Express:** resolve any remaining critical gaps in a short batch, then draft the full PRD at once. +- **Facilitative:** work through the sections that require PM thinking before drafting, using the techniques in `references/facilitation-guide.md`. Capture all decisions in the log, section to section. Draft after the key sections are walked. The goal is that the user has authored the thinking — not just answered intake questions. + +In both modes, resolve decisions conversationally rather than silently deferring them into `[ASSUMPTION]` tags. Only use `[ASSUMPTION]` when the answer requires research or external input the PM cannot provide in the moment. + +## PRD Discipline + +- **Features grouped, FRs nested.** Features open with behavioral description; FRs nested and numbered globally for stable IDs. Cross-cutting NFRs in their own section; skip traceability matrices. +- **Capabilities, not implementation.** FRs describe what users or systems can do, not how. Tech choices go in addendum. +- **No innovation theater.** Don't fabricate novelty; add a differentiation section only when Discovery surfaced something genuinely novel. +- **Personas, when used, are research-grounded or marked `[ILLUSTRATIVE]`.** Invented detail is *persona theater* — false specificity the team builds for. Personas must drive decisions; two to four max. +- **Domain awareness.** Regulatory or compliance constraints surface in the PRD, not deferred to architecture. +- **Right-size to purpose.** Section depth and adapt-in clusters follow project type and stakes — the template's adapt-in menu names the standard clusters. +- **Non-Goals explicit.** Pair with inline `[NON-GOAL for MVP]` and `[v2 — out of MVP]` callouts so omissions aren't silently assumed. +- **Never silently de-scope.** Nothing the user explicitly included drops without asking. Propose phasing; never impose it. +- **Counter-metrics named.** When Success Metrics is present, name what NOT to optimize. +- **Assumptions visible.** Inferences without direct user confirmation are tagged `[ASSUMPTION: ...]` inline and indexed at the end. +- **`[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts** at decision points the user deferred or left tension on. + +## Constraints + +- **Persistence is near real-time.** Create the workspace (`prd.md` skeleton, `decision-log.md`) on disk the moment Create intent is confirmed; tell the user the path. +- **File roles.** `decision-log.md` — every decision, change, and version transition, in real time. `addendum.md` — depth that doesn't fit PRD shape: rejected alternatives, technical detail, ops/cost, competitive analysis. Capture technical-how detail to addendum immediately when the user volunteers it. +- **Continuity across sessions.** If a prior draft exists in `{workflow.output_dir}`, offer to resume; surface open items first. +- **Extract, don't ingest.** Never load source documents into the parent context wholesale. Delegate to subagents to extract what's relevant; the parent assembles from extracts. +- **Downstream workflows run in fresh context.** This skill's output is `prd.md` (and optional `addendum.md`). Never invoke downstream workflows or produce separate handoff artifacts. + +## Finalize + +1. Decision log audit: walk `decision-log.md` with the user — each entry captured in PRD, in addendum, or set aside. +2.

Detailed flow design happens in the UX workflow — not here. +- **§4 Features pattern at every scale.** Description → FRs nested → optional NFRs → optional notes. Hobby PRD: one short paragraph and three FRs per feature. Enterprise feature: multi-paragraph description, fifteen FRs, several feature-specific NFRs, open questions. Same shape, different depth. +- **`[ASSUMPTION]`, `[NON-GOAL]`, `[v2 — out of MVP]`, `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts are first-class.** They signal to downstream readers and the next session of work.

Reference, do not duplicate. +- **When UX is *output* of the PRD** (no UX work yet — downstream `bmad-create-ux-design` will produce it): §2.4 captures the PM's intent on which journeys exist; UX elaborates them into detailed flows downstream. +- **§7 Success Metrics scales with stakes** but is always present. Counter-metrics matter as much as primary metrics — they shape what NOT to optimize. +- **Small-scope all-inclusive option.** When scope is genuinely 1-2 stories and the user wants a single artifact instead of running a separate `bmad-create-story` workflow, add the adapt-in *Stories* cluster: lean §1-§6 plus inline §Stories at the end. The whole doc fits on a page or two. This is a valid PRD shape for tiny work — don't apologize for it. +- **Adapt the section numbering.** The spine uses 0-9; adapt-in additions slot in wherever they read best (e.g., Aesthetic & Tone before §3 if branding is foundational, Compliance after §5 Non-Goals, Constraints & Guardrails between Features and Non-Goals, Stories at the very end after Assumptions Index). diff --git a/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/prd-validation-checklist.md b/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/prd-validation-checklist.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a6b3cbef9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/prd-validation-checklist.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +# PRD Validation Checklist + +Loaded by the PRD validator subagent.

It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and `_bmad/custom/bmad-validate-prd.toml` override files keep working. New work should invoke `bmad-prd` directly — it detects create / update / validate intent from the conversation. ## On Activation -### Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block +1. Resolve customization: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow`. This picks up any `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-validate-prd.toml` and `bmad-validate-prd.user.toml` overrides for the legacy fields (`activation_steps_prepend`, `activation_steps_append`, `persistent_facts`, `on_complete`). -Run: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow` +2.

It now forwards to `bmad-prd` with validate intent. To silence this notice and access the full new customization surface (`prd_template`, `validation_checklist`, `doc_standards`, `external_sources`, `external_handoffs`, `output_dir`, `output_folder_name`), migrate `_bmad/custom/bmad-validate-prd.toml` to `_bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml` and invoke `bmad-prd` directly next time. Customization fields that were in this version still remain in the new version and will be respected if present in `_bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml`, but the new version also supports additional fields that you can take advantage of by migrating. -Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by `code` or `id` replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append. +4. Invoke `bmad-prd` with the following context. Pass these as the activating context so `bmad-prd` honors them instead of resolving its own customization from scratch: -### Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps + - **Intent:** `validate` — skip `bmad-prd`'s usual intent detection step. + - **Pre-resolved legacy customization** — use these in place of resolving from `bmad-prd`'s own `customize.toml` for the four legacy fields. For everything else (`prd_template`, `validation_checklist`, `validation_report_template`, `doc_standards`, `output_dir`, `output_folder_name`, `external_sources`, `external_handoffs`), use `bmad-prd`'s own defaults and overrides as normal: + - `activation_steps_prepend` = the resolved value from step 1 + - `activation_steps_append` = the resolved value from step 1 + - `persistent_facts` = the resolved value from step 1 + - `on_complete` = the resolved value from step 1 + - **Original user input:** forward whatever the user said when invoking this skill verbatim (the target PRD path, etc.). -Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_prepend}` in order before proceeding. - -### Step 3: Load Persistent Facts - -Treat every entry in `{workflow.persistent_facts}` as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed `file:` are paths or globs under `{project-root}` — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim. - -### Step 4: Load Config - -Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve: -- Use `{user_name}` for greeting -- Use `{communication_language}` for all communications -- Use `{document_output_language}` for output documents -- Use `{planning_artifacts}` for output location and artifact scanning -- Use `{project_knowledge}` for additional context scanning - -### Step 5: Greet the User - -Greet `{user_name}`, speaking in `{communication_language}`. - -### Step 6: Execute Append Steps - -Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_append}` in order. - -Activation is complete.

Swap the example finding to demonstrate Q-7 FR testability so it doubles as a primer on the new checklist item. * feat(bmad-prd): reviewer pass redesign and consolidate facilitation - finalize_reviewers TOML field replaces inline review lenses; entries follow the skill:/file:/plain-text prefix convention, resolved on-demand so reviewer data has zero context cost on runs that skip the pass. - Subagent contract: reviewers write to {doc_workspace}/review-{slug}.md and return summary-only (verdict, top findings, file path); parent never holds full review text. - Section-by-section walk-through UX at Finalize and Validate; user decides per finding whether to autofix, discuss, defer, or ignore. - Finalize entry names the sequence in one sentence so users understand the polish-last order. - Template philosophy moved from prd-template.md to SKILL.md PRD Discipline; template is now pure shape menu (preamble and Notes for facilitator stripped). - facilitation-guide.md content folded into SKILL.md Discovery posture (story-shape UJ walk, four MVP types, state-inference-don't-quiz); guide file deleted. * feat(bmad-prd): tighten SKILL.md, extract Reviewer Gate and Validate playbook - SKILL.md: trim activation/posture/discovery bloat; sharpen Right-skill check; extract Reviewer Gate to its own section (dedup with Finalize step 3 and Validate intent). - references/validate.md: rename from validation-render.md and expand to the full Validate intent playbook (orient, run gate, structural validator pipeline, render, close). - references/probing.md: drop stale facilitation-guide.md reference. - assets/prd-template.md: redesign §2.4 User Journeys with named-scene default shape, worked example, and scope dial. * fix(bmad-prd): make Brain dump a hard first-move rule Discovery was being skipped: the LLM treated the user's opening message as the full picture and jumped to multiple-choice intake. Strengthen the ordering so Brain dump always comes first for Create and Update, before any questions or working-mode choices. - Add explicit Discovery ordering at the section top. - Rewrite Brain dump as a non-negotiable first move with an anti- pattern callout naming the exact failure mode. - Add timing prefix to Working mode reinforcing the order. * refactor(bmad-prd): aggressive trim and quality fixes from analysis SKILL.md cut 49% (143 -> 84 lines); references/validate.md 35%; references/headless.md 22%. Package-wide ~21% reduction. Customization sweep: - {finalize_reviewers} -> {workflow.finalize_reviewers} (was a silent override no-op) - Add canonical ## Conventions block - Rename decision-log.md -> .decision-log.md across SKILL, refs, schemas - customize.toml: validation_checklist -> validation_checklist_template, output_dir -> prd_output_path, output_folder_name -> run_folder_pattern; lifecycle comments on external_sources / external_handoffs New behavior: - Activation step 4: explicit by-name greeting using {user_name}, {communication_language} persisted for every turn (not just greeting) - Right-skill scan on first message before brain dump - Neutral defaults when config.yaml is missing; never block on it - Headless: Detection section + per-intent Inputs section + 'partial' status semantics + Update conflict-override rationale - Brownfield Update bootstraps .decision-log.md via subagent when absent - Reviewer Gate findings-overwhelm fix: tiered surfacing (verdict -> critical/high -> medium/low rolled into tail) - Discovery edge cases: conditional MVP question, persona/UJ push contextually triggered, working modes renamed as outcomes (Fast path / Coaching path) - Subagent discipline: Finalize step 2 return-format contract, step 5 structure->prose ordering, explicit no-subagent fallback Tests: - scripts/tests/test_render_validation_html.py (17 passing, covers grade thresholds, category mapping, stats, score-bar rendering) * refactor(bmad-prd): replace mechanical checklist+renderer with quality rubric and LLM-synthesized report The structural checklist + Python renderer produced mechanical pass/warn/fail reports that didn't speak to actual PRD quality, and additional reviewers (adversarial) wrote separate review-*.md files that never made it into the HTML. Replaces that pipeline with: - A judgment rubric across seven PRD-quality dimensions (decision-readiness, substance over theater, strategic coherence, done-ness clarity, scope honesty, downstream usability, shape fit) that adapts to stakes and PRD shape. Rubric walker writes review-rubric.md with per-dimension verdicts. - HTML skeleton with TEMPLATE_* placeholders the synthesis pass fills directly — no substitution engine, no Python. - Synthesis pipeline in references/validate.md: parent reads every review-*.md, fills the skeleton, writes validation-report.html plus markdown twin, opens via webbrowser. Folds every reviewer's findings into one report; grade derives from rubric verdicts and severity counts. - Drops scripts/render-validation-html.py and scripts/tests/ entirely. - finalize_reviewers defaults to empty (adversarial removed from defaults — too brutal and frequently wrong against PRDs; teams can append in override TOML). - Headless mode now writes both HTML and markdown; skips browser-open. * refactor(bmad-prd): faster working-mode entry, elicitation discipline, drop probing.md Discovery rewrite: Brain dump -> Stakes calibration -> Working mode -> mode-scoped work. Users in a hurry reach the Fast/Coaching choice in two or three turns instead of ten. Brain dump explicitly invites existing inputs (briefs, research, transcripts, prior PRD draft, design docs) alongside verbal context. Elicitation discipline made explicit: Discovery pulls the user's vision out, never inserts the LLM's. UJs and phasing must be user-articulated, not strawman-proposed for rubber-stamp. Coaching path now offers entry-point choice: Vision+Features (capability-first), Personas+Journeys (user-first), or let-me-suggest. Capability-thinkers walk features directly. Template framing in PRD Discipline: Essential Spine is the expected default, Adapt-In Menu is conditional, and the LLM is authorized to invent sections when concerns don't match any cluster. Concern scan beat in Discovery surfaces real domain concerns without forcing a fixed shape. Web grounding: light targeted use at load-bearing moments authorized; deep research is suggested to the user via dedicated research skills, accepting gracefully if declined. references/probing.md deleted; its load-bearing content was either LLM-default PM instincts or already covered by SKILL.md. Misroute list now includes bmad-workflow-builder for agent/custom-agent signals. * fix(bmad-prd): align opener with Fast path naming, normalize misroute list * refactor(bmad-prd, bmad-product-brief): bring skills to parity, default-on web research Cross-skill consistency fixes: - Brief renames {workflow.output_dir} -> {workflow.brief_output_path} and {workflow.output_folder_name} -> {workflow.run_folder_pattern} to match PRD's naming pattern. - Decision-log filename unified on .decision-log.md (dotfile convention) across both skills. - Brief picks up PRD's fallback on customization-resolve failure (read TOML directly instead of halt). - Brief picks up PRD's persistent_facts default that auto-loads project-context.md. - Brief greeting now enforces {communication_language} for the entire run, not just the greeting. PRD additions, propagated from brief: - File-roles paragraph in Conventions (boundary rules for .decision-log.md vs addendum.md; capture during conversation, not at finalize; audit/override never goes in addendum). - Greeting now tells the user they can invoke bmad-party-mode or bmad-advanced-elicitation at any point. - Create intent now writes prd.md with status: draft and creates the .decision-log.md skeleton at workspace init. - Resume-check on activation: scans prd_output_path for prior in-progress runs (status not final) and offers to resume. - Finalize Close sets status: final + updated date so resume-check can distinguish finalized from in-progress. - Stakes-calibrated length guidance in PRD Discipline. Web research, default-on for any scope: - Reframed external_sources lines in both skills to distinguish org-configured registry (internal tools) from generic web research; both fire on the same triggers. - New Research subagents (default) beat in PRD Discovery: spawn web-research subagents to ground the picture; AI especially where training data ages by the week. Subagent searches; parent receives a digest. Deep work routes to bmad-market-research / bmad-domain-research / bmad-technical-research. - Brief Discovery picks up the same posture in lighter form. * fix(bmad-prd, bmad-product-brief): drop phantom v2 callout, add Fast/Coaching to brief - Drop `[v2 — out of MVP]` from PRD validation rubric Dimension 5. It was flagged for absence but never instructed for use anywhere — the template uses `[NOTE FOR PM]` for v2/v3 deferrals, which is the de-facto convention. - Add Fast path / Coaching path working-mode choice to brief Discovery so the "I'm pitching tomorrow" user has an express option. Note that the opener's pressure-calibration philosophy primarily shapes Coaching path; Fast path swaps pushback for [ASSUMPTION] tags the user can correct in review. * refactor(bmad-prd): tighten Research subagents beat --- .../1-analysis/bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md | 29 +- .../bmad-product-brief/customize.toml | 21 +- .../2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/SKILL.md | 107 ++++--- .../bmad-prd/assets/headless-schemas.md | 4 +- .../bmad-prd/assets/prd-template.md | 70 +++-- .../assets/prd-validation-checklist.md | 147 +++++++-- .../assets/validation-report-template.html | 253 +++++++++++---- .../2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/customize.toml | 60 +++- .../bmad-prd/references/facilitation-guide.md | 79 ----- .../bmad-prd/references/headless.md | 39 ++- .../bmad-prd/references/validate.md | 97 ++++++ .../bmad-prd/references/validation-render.md | 58 ---- .../scripts/render-validation-html.py | 290 ------------------ 13 files changed, 616 insertions(+), 638 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/references/facilitation-guide.md create mode 100644 src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/references/validate.md delete mode 100644 src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/references/validation-render.md delete mode 100644 src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/scripts/render-validation-html.py diff --git a/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md b/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md index b19fe626e..671079999 100644 --- a/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md +++ b/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md @@ -15,21 +15,21 @@ At the opening greeting, let the user know they can invoke `bmad-party-mode` for ## On Activation -1.

Polish: apply each entry in `{workflow.doc_standards}` (a `skill:`, `file:`, or plain-text directive) to `brief.md` (and `addendum.md` if it exists). Run passes as parallel subagents - apply all doc standards to `brief.md` first, then `addendum.md` so we present a high-quality draft for the user to review and finalize. 3. External handoffs: execute each entry in `{workflow.external_handoffs}` to route artifacts beyond local files (Confluence, Notion, ticket systems, etc.) — each directive names the MCP tool and the fields it needs. Invoke the tool, capture any URLs or IDs returned, and surface them in the user message. If a named tool is unavailable, skip that handoff and flag it; local files always exist regardless. 4.

Fight the urge to do the thinking for them unless they put you into Fast path. -You are an expert PM facilitator. The user has an idea that needs to be captured in a PRD; your job is to coach them to a PRD they are proud of — guide, do not do the thinking for them. Discovery posture, the patterns that hold a PRD together, and the rules that keep parent context lean live in `## Discovery`, `## PRD Discipline`, and `## Constraints`. +## Conventions -At the opening greeting, let the user know they can invoke the skills `bmad-party-mode` for multi-agent perspectives or `bmad-advanced-elicitation` for deeper exploration at any point. +- Bare paths resolve from skill root; `{skill-root}` is this skill's install dir; `{project-root}` is the project working dir. +- `{workflow.}` resolves to fields in `customize.toml`'s `[workflow]` table (overrides win per BMad merge rules). +- `{doc_workspace}` is the bound run folder. +- **File roles.** `.decision-log.md` is canonical memory and audit trail — every decision, change, and override (including headless overrides) is recorded there as the conversation unfolds. `addendum.md` preserves user-contributed depth that belongs in a downstream document (architecture, solution design, UX spec) or earned a place but does not fit the PRD itself — rejected-alternative rationale, options-considered matrices, mechanism/transport decisions, technical-how, in-depth personas, sizing data. Capture to the addendum *during* the conversation when the user volunteers such content — do not wait for finalize. Audit and override information never goes in the addendum. ## On Activation -1.

Treat `{workflow.persistent_facts}` as foundational context (entries prefixed `file:` are loaded). `{workflow.external_sources}` is an org-configured registry of internal tools (knowledge bases, MCP tools); consult them alongside generic web research on the same triggers, org tools preferred when their directive matches.

If headless, follow `references/headless.md` for the whole run. Otherwise greet the user **by name** using `{user_name}` and **in their language** using `{communication_language}` — and stay in `{communication_language}` for every turn for the entire run, not just the greeting. In the greeting, let the user know that at any point they can invoke `bmad-party-mode` for multi-agent perspectives or `bmad-advanced-elicitation` for deeper exploration on a specific section. Then scan for misroute on the first message: if the signal points elsewhere (game → BMad GDS; express build → `bmad-quick-dev`; one-pager → `bmad-product-brief`; vet product idea → `bmad-prfaq`; agent skill or custom agent → `bmad-workflow-builder`), suggest they might want the other options before continuing. +5. Detect intent: **Create** (no PRD), **Update** (existing PRD), **Validate** (critique only). If ambiguous, ask. For Create intent, before binding a fresh workspace, scan `{workflow.prd_output_path}` for prior in-progress runs (folders matching `{workflow.run_folder_pattern}` whose `prd.md` frontmatter `status` is not `final`); if any exist, offer to resume rather than starting over. +6. Run `{workflow.activation_steps_append}`. -## Intent Operating Modes +## Intent Modes -**Create.** A PRD the user is proud of, drawn out through real conversation. Discovery first, drafting second. Bind `{doc_workspace}` to a fresh folder at `{workflow.output_dir}/{workflow.output_folder_name}/` and write `prd.md` there with YAML frontmatter (title, created, updated). Version and state transitions live in `decision-log.md`. For Update and Validate, `{doc_workspace}` is the existing folder of the PRD being targeted. When drafting is complete, proceed to `## Finalize`. +**Create.** Bind `{doc_workspace}` to `{workflow.prd_output_path}/{workflow.run_folder_pattern}/`. Write `prd.md` with YAML frontmatter (title, status, created, updated — initial `status: draft`), and create the `.decision-log.md` skeleton at the workspace root so subsequent decisions land in a known file. Tell the user the path. Run `## Discovery`, then `## Finalize`. -**Update.** Reconcile an existing PRD with a change signal. Orient via source extractors (see `## Constraints` → Extract, don't ingest) against the PRD, addendum, `decision-log.md`, and original inputs — then run the `## Discovery` posture against the change signal. Surface conflicts with prior decisions before changing. If the change is fundamental, offer Create instead of patching. When changes are applied, proceed to `## Finalize`. +**Update.** Reconcile the PRD with a change signal. Source-extract against PRD, addendum, `.decision-log.md`, and original inputs (extract, don't ingest). If `.decision-log.md` is missing, spawn a one-time bootstrap subagent to reverse-engineer a thin log from the PRD before continuing. Surface conflicts with prior decisions before applying. Then `## Finalize`. -**Validate** (or *analyze*). Critique an existing PRD against `{workflow.validation_checklist}`. Standalone — does NOT enter `## Finalize`. Orient via source extractors against `decision-log.md` and any original inputs to give the validator context. Spawn the validator subagent against `prd.md` (and `addendum.md` if present); produce findings and a validation report per `references/validation-render.md`. Always offer to roll findings into an Update. +**Validate** (or *analyze*). Critique without changing. Load `references/validate.md`. ## Discovery -Open with space for the full picture: invite a brain dump, inputs, ideas, WHY they are doing this. Read what exists first; ask only what is missing. After the dump, a simple "anything else?" often surfaces what they almost forgot. +Order: **Brain dump → Stakes calibration → Working mode → mode-scoped work.** Get to working mode fast — two or three turns, not ten. Users in a hurry must not be held hostage by upstream probing. -Before drafting, read the situation across four dimensions — they determine the PRD's shape: +**Brain dump.** Always the first move, even when the user opens with paragraphs of context (that is intake, not the dump). Ask for verbal context *and* any existing inputs they want you to read — product brief, research, customer transcripts, competitive analysis, prior PRD draft, design docs. Paths or paste; big docs are fine, you will subagent-extract. A simple "anything else?" surfaces what they almost forgot. -- **Stakes.** Calibrates rigor, section depth, and which adapt-in clusters apply. -- **Audience.** Drives tone, evidence requirements, and approval sections. -- **Existing inputs.** Existing artifacts mean those parts of the PRD reference, not relitigate. When project-context, prior PRDs, or existing UX/architecture are present, this is brownfield — frame Discovery around what is new or changing. -- **Downstream depth.** Whole spec for a small build, or top of a chain through UX → architecture → epics → stories? Affects how much the PRD encodes vs. defers. +**Research subagents (default).** During Discovery, spawn web-research subagents to ground the picture: what exists in the space, how comparables position themselves, current landscape. Subagent does the search; parent receives a digest. -**Right-skill check.** Once the situation is read, sanity-check that PRD is the best tool. Three cases where it isn't: +**Elicitation, not direction.** Discovery pulls the user's vision out; it does not insert yours. Open-ended "tell me about X" beats multiple choice. When you find yourself naming wedges, picking MVP cuts, or proposing phases, stop — you have crossed from elicitation into authoring. Hand the pen back. Infer-and-confirm ("I'm assuming X works like Y — right?") is fine; quizzing the user through a tree of LLM-shaped choices is not. -- **Games** → suggest `bmad-gds` for the Game Design Document. -- **Small scope + wants a captured artifact** (small tweak to an existing codebase, single doc to point at) → stay here and produce an *all-inclusive document*: lean spine plus inline Stories via the adapt-in Stories cluster. -- **Express implementation** (wants to build now, no planning chain or captured artifact needed) → suggest `bmad-quick-dev`. +**Stakes calibration.** One short probe before working mode: hobby / internal / launch — enough to calibrate rigor and section depth. Audience, Existing inputs, and Downstream depth fill in inside the chosen mode, not upstream of the choice. -Surface these honestly and let the user choose; if they prefer this skill anyway, proceed with the right-sized version. +**Working mode.** Offer the choice in the user's language: -Coach, do not quiz. Push hardest on PRD Discipline risks — unexamined assumptions, capability-vs-implementation confusion, term drift, scope creep, ambiguity for downstream readers. Suggest research if needed and have subagents use web search tools as needed. +- **Fast path** — I batch remaining gaps into one or two consolidated questions, then draft the full PRD with `[ASSUMPTION]` tags where I inferred. You review and we iterate. The initial quality depends on how much you gave me upfront. +- **Coaching path** — we walk PM-thinking sections together. Once chosen, I ask which entry point fits: **Vision + Features** (capability-first — for enterprise, dev products, internal tools, anyone who thinks in features), **Personas + Journeys** (user-first — for consumer, UX-heavy, multi-stakeholder products), or *let me suggest* based on what I heard. The chosen entry sets the section order. -**Working mode.** Once the situational read is complete, offer the user a choice before proceeding — one sentence per option: +The workspace persists; stop and resume freely. -- **Express:** resolve any remaining critical gaps in a short batch, then draft the full PRD at once. -- **Facilitative:** work through the sections that require PM thinking before drafting, using the techniques in `references/facilitation-guide.md`. Capture all decisions in the log, section to section. Draft after the key sections are walked. The goal is that the user has authored the thinking — not just answered intake questions. +**Concern scan.** As you read what the user gave you, name the concerns this product actually carries — compliance, integration density, operational SLAs, hardware constraints, public-API contracts, monetization, data governance, whatever applies. The list is open; recognize what's there, do not classify into a fixed shape. These concerns drive which template sections to pull in from the Adapt-In Menu and which to invent when no cluster names them. -In both modes, resolve decisions conversationally rather than silently deferring them into `[ASSUMPTION]` tags. Only use `[ASSUMPTION]` when the answer requires research or external input the PM cannot provide in the moment. +**User Journeys are captured, not authored.** When UJs are warranted (consumer / multi-stakeholder B2B / meaningful UX — drop or downscale for internal tooling with a single operator role, regulatory-only updates, hobby/solo, pure technical PRDs), prompt the user to narrate a real session — what the person does, in what order, where it lands — then structure the answer into UJ-N form and confirm. ## PRD Discipline -- **Features grouped, FRs nested.** Features open with behavioral description; FRs nested and numbered globally for stable IDs. Cross-cutting NFRs in their own section; skip traceability matrices. -- **Capabilities, not implementation.** FRs describe what users or systems can do, not how. Tech choices go in addendum. -- **No innovation theater.** Don't fabricate novelty; add a differentiation section only when Discovery surfaced something genuinely novel. -- **Personas, when used, are research-grounded or marked `[ILLUSTRATIVE]`.** Invented detail is *persona theater* — false specificity the team builds for. Personas must drive decisions; two to four max. -- **Domain awareness.** Regulatory or compliance constraints surface in the PRD, not deferred to architecture. -- **Right-size to purpose.** Section depth and adapt-in clusters follow project type and stakes — the template's adapt-in menu names the standard clusters. -- **Non-Goals explicit.** Pair with inline `[NON-GOAL for MVP]` and `[v2 — out of MVP]` callouts so omissions aren't silently assumed. -- **Never silently de-scope.** Nothing the user explicitly included drops without asking. Propose phasing; never impose it. -- **Counter-metrics named.** When Success Metrics is present, name what NOT to optimize. -- **Assumptions visible.** Inferences without direct user confirmation are tagged `[ASSUMPTION: ...]` inline and indexed at the end. -- **`[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts** at decision points the user deferred or left tension on. +**Shape.** Features grouped; FRs nested with globally numbered stable IDs. Cross-cutting NFRs in their own section; skip traceability matrices. Capabilities, not implementation — tech choices live in `addendum.md`. Treat `{workflow.prd_template}` as expert prior knowledge, not a checklist. The **Essential Spine** is the expected default — present it unless the product genuinely doesn't need a section, and when you drop one, do so for a reason a reviewer would agree with. The **Adapt-In Menu** is conditional: pull in the clusters the product's concerns need to best define the requirements. When the product carries a concern the menu doesn't name, invent the section — name it well, decide what belongs in it, place it where it serves the reader or the PRD. Reorder and combine for readability. Never include a section because it appears; never skip a concern because no template section covered it. Counter-metrics named when Success Metrics exist. -## Constraints +**Extract, don't ingest.** Source documents go to subagents for extraction; the parent assembles from extracts. Only load source documents into the parent context wholesale when no subagents are available. -- **Persistence is near real-time.** Create the workspace (`prd.md` skeleton, `decision-log.md`) on disk the moment Create intent is confirmed; tell the user the path. -- **File roles.** `decision-log.md` — every decision, change, and version transition, in real time. `addendum.md` — depth that doesn't fit PRD shape: rejected alternatives, technical detail, ops/cost, competitive analysis. Capture technical-how detail to addendum immediately when the user volunteers it. -- **Continuity across sessions.** If a prior draft exists in `{workflow.output_dir}`, offer to resume; surface open items first. -- **Extract, don't ingest.** Never load source documents into the parent context wholesale. Delegate to subagents to extract what's relevant; the parent assembles from extracts. -- **Downstream workflows run in fresh context.** This skill's output is `prd.md` (and optional `addendum.md`). Never invoke downstream workflows or produce separate handoff artifacts. +**Length scales with stakes.** Hobby / solo PRDs aim for about two pages. Internal tools land around five to eight. Launch and chain-top PRDs run as long as their FRs and concerns require. Whatever the length, detail that doesn't earn its place in the PRD's main narrative belongs in `addendum.md` — moving overflow there is correct; padding the PRD to look thorough is not. + +## Reviewer Gate + +Used by the Validate intent and at Finalize step 3. + +Assemble the menu: rubric walker against `{workflow.validation_checklist_template}` (the PRD quality rubric) + each entry in `{workflow.finalize_reviewers}` + any ad-hoc reviewers the artifact warrants. Stakes-calibrated — hobby/solo may run quietly or skip; higher stakes get the explicit all/subset/skip menu. + +Dispatch entries as parallel subagents against `prd.md` (and `addendum.md` if present) using the standard prefix convention (`skill:` / `file:` / plain text). Each writes its full review to `{doc_workspace}/review-{slug}.md` and returns ONLY a compact summary (verdict, top 2-5 findings, file path) — the parent never holds full review text. The rubric walker uses the prompt and output format in `references/validate.md`. If subagents are unavailable, run sequentially: write the file *before* anything else, then flush the review from working context. + +Surface findings tiered, never dumped.

A `strong` dimension may need no findings; a `broken` one needs concrete, fixable ones. +4. Severity ranks impact on the PRD's usefulness, not how easy the fix is. A vague Vision statement is *critical* even though it's a one-paragraph fix; a glossary drift might be *low* even though it appears in many places. +5. The overall verdict is your synthesis — 2–3 sentences that name what holds up and what's at risk. Earn it with the dimension judgments. -- **D-1. Capabilities, not implementation.** FRs describe what users/systems can do, not how. Flag technology names, library choices, architecture decisions. -- **D-2. Input fidelity.** Requirements from input documents (brief, research, prior PRD) are still in scope or explicitly handled via Non-Goals or `[ASSUMPTION]`. -- **D-3. Personas grounded.** If personas exist, they are research-grounded or marked `[ILLUSTRATIVE]`. Each persona drives at least one decision. -- **D-4.

Are the trade-offs surfaced honestly, or has the PRD smoothed everything to neutral? Would someone pushing back find their objection acknowledged or dodged? + +Look for: +- Decisions that are stated as decisions, not buried as "considerations." +- Trade-offs named with what was given up, not just what was chosen. +- Open Questions that are actually open — not rhetorical questions with an answer in the next sentence. +- `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts at real tensions, not at safe checkpoints. + +Red flag: a PRD where every choice "balances" everything, every NFR is "important," every persona "values" the product. + +### 2. Substance over theater + +Is the content earned, or is it furniture? Distinguish: + +- **Persona theater** — Personas that don't drive a single decision in the PRD. More than four personas. Personas whose only function is to make the PRD look thorough. +- **Innovation theater** — claimed novelty that isn't novel. Differentiation sections written because the template had one, not because Discovery surfaced something. +- **NFR theater** — copied boilerplate ("system must be scalable / secure / reliable") without product-specific thresholds. +- **Vision theater** — a Vision statement that could swap into any PRD in this category without change. + +Flag what reads like furniture, even if it's well-written furniture. + +### 3. Strategic coherence + +Does the PRD have a thesis? Do the features serve a unified arc, or is it a list of capabilities someone wanted? + +Look for: +- A stated thesis the PRD bets on (problem framing, user insight, market move). +- Feature prioritization that follows from the thesis — not from "what's easy first." +- Success Metrics that validate the thesis, not metrics that just measure activity (DAU/MAU when the thesis is about engagement quality is a tell). +- Counter-metrics named when SMs exist. +- Coherent MVP scope kind — problem-solving, experience, platform, or revenue — with scope logic that matches. + +Red flag: a PRD that reads as a backlog with section headings. + +### 4. Done-ness clarity + +Would an engineer reading this PRD know what "done" looks like for each FR? + +Look for: +- FRs with at least one testable consequence per FR — verifiable condition, measurable outcome. +- "System handles X gracefully," "reasonable performance," "user-friendly" — flag every one. +- Acceptance criteria implied or explicit. Sometimes the FR's consequences carry this; sometimes the PRD genuinely needs an Acceptance section. +- For non-functional sections (UX, performance, security): bounds, not adjectives. + +This is the dimension downstream story creation will lean on hardest. Be unforgiving here. + +### 5. Scope honesty + +Are omissions explicit, or is the reader meant to infer them? + +Look for: +- A Non-Goals section where it would do real work — and `[NON-GOAL for MVP]` callouts where omissions could be silently assumed. +- `[ASSUMPTION: …]` tags on inferences the user didn't directly confirm, indexed at the end. +- `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts at deferred decisions and unresolved tensions. +- De-scoping proposed honestly, not done silently. + +Open-items density: count Open Questions + `[ASSUMPTION]` + `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts relative to stakes. High counts on a low-stakes PRD is fine; high counts on a green-light-to-build PRD is a blocker. + +### 6. Downstream usability + +If this PRD feeds UX, architecture, or story creation, can those workflows source-extract from it cleanly? + +Look for: +- Glossary present; every domain noun used identically across FRs, UJs, SM definitions. +- FR / UJ / SM IDs contiguous, unique, and cross-references that resolve. +- Each section makes sense pulled out alone — cross-references via Glossary terms, not "see above." +- UJs each name a persona from §2 by exact label; no floating UJs. + +For standalone PRDs (no downstream), this dimension matters less — say so. + +### 7. Shape fit + +Has the PRD been forced into a shape that doesn't match the product? + +- Consumer product / multi-stakeholder B2B / meaningful UX → UJs and personas are load-bearing. +- Internal tool, single-operator role → capability spec shape; UJs may be overhead; SMs may be operational rather than user-facing. +- Regulatory or compliance update → constraint traceability is non-negotiable; UJs may be irrelevant. +- Hobby / solo → rigor light, substance bar still applies. +- Brownfield → existing-code references must be accurate; new UJs and existing UJs must be distinguished. +- Chain-top (feeds UX → architecture → stories) → downstream usability matters more; standalone PRDs can be lighter on traceability. + +Flag PRDs that are over-formalized (UJ density for a single-operator tool) or under-formalized (consumer product with no personas or UJs). + +## Mechanical notes + +Cover these as a tail section, not a primary dimension. They matter for downstream but don't drive the verdict on whether the PRD is good. + +- Glossary drift (case, plural, synonyms across the PRD). +- ID continuity (gaps, duplicates, unresolved cross-references). +- Assumptions Index roundtrip (every inline `[ASSUMPTION]` indexed; index entries all appear inline). +- UJ persona linkage (each UJ names a defined persona by exact label). +- Required sections present for the agreed stakes and product type. diff --git a/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/validation-report-template.html b/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/validation-report-template.html index 1e3136607..72e727162 100644 --- a/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/validation-report-template.html +++ b/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/validation-report-template.html @@ -1,8 +1,30 @@ + -PRD Validation: $prd_name +PRD Validation: TEMPLATE_PRD_NAME + + +

Headless callers receive JSON; interactive runs close conversationally with the spec path and gap-coverage invitations. Includes: - SKILL.md with activation contract and conventions - customize.toml exposing template path, output path, run-folder pattern - assets/spec-template.md (five-field skeleton) - assets/headless-schemas.md (JSON IO contracts) * remove brain-dump fallback config from bmad-spec customize.toml * refactor(bmad-spec): companions+sources model, routing tilt, flat output path - Collapse `related:` into `companions:`; companion paths may point inside the spec folder (spec-authored) or outside it (adopted from an upstream skill), distinguished implicitly by path - `sources:` reserved for fully-absorbed inputs; downstream does NOT read these - Soften mutation contract: bmad-spec owns SPEC.md and spec-authored companions; adopted companions belong to their originating skill - Add "when to spawn a companion" tilt: multi-item catalogs, tables, diagrams (always), editorial voice rules; sub-bullets in a kernel field signal it has outgrown the kernel - Fix Spec Law rule 7 and Pass 2: load-bearing content lands in SPEC.md or a companion, not the decision log (the log records wrapper-drops only) - Flatten output path to `{planning_artifacts}/specs/spec-{slug}-{date}/`, mirroring `prds/` and `ux-designs/`; drop `spec_folder_name` (no longer used) - Extract Load-bearing definition into its own section above Spec Law * chore(core): retire bmad-distillator, promote bmad-spec to core - Delete bmad-distillator/ and all registry + doc references (superseded by bmad-spec; no skill or workflow in any BMad module invoked it) - Add bmad-distillator to removals.txt so installer cleans it from existing IDE skill directories on update - Move bmad-spec from bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/ to core-skills/ (universal scope: game design, research hypotheses, editorial briefs, policy, business plans, not just software) - Register bmad-spec in core module-help.csv and bmad-pro-skills marketplace plugin - Drop bmad-distillator section from core-tools.md (en, vi-vn, cs, fr, zh-cn) and vi-vn dev guide; renumber subsequent sections * refactor(bmad-spec): add lean-prose discipline + generalize help text - Add Spec Law rule 8: lean prose.

Applies to SPEC.md, companions, and decision log. - Update Self-Validate Pass 1 to enforce rules 1-6 and 8 (rule 7 stays in Pass 2) - Prime the operation up-front: write lean from the first pass, every sentence must earn its place - Note in Companions section that companions follow the same lean discipline - Generalize core module-help.csv entry: domain-agnostic framing (software, game design, research, editorial, policy, business, anything intent-bearing); call out succinct, no-fluff and "locks the WHAT before the HOW" as the value props * fix(bmad-spec): address PR review findings (CodeRabbit + Augment) - headless-schemas.md: rewrite spec_path examples to point at the spec folder (not a file), rename source_artifact to sources[] array, add companions[] array, update verdict from "six rules" to "eight rules", disambiguate reason requirement (only when status=blocked) - SKILL.md activation: fix config path from {project-root}/_bmad/config.yaml to {project-root}/_bmad/core/config.yaml (matches other BMM skills) - customize.toml + SKILL.md Workspace: drop {date} from default run_folder_pattern (spec-{slug}); same slug = same folder = trivial in-place update, no glob-and-pick-most-recent needed. Override available for users who want dated history. - spec-template.md: rename "## Success signals" (plural) to "## Success signal" (singular) to match SKILL.md kernel naming - SKILL.md Frontmatter conventions: fix adopted-companion example path from _bmad-output/ux-designs/foo-ux/DESIGN.md to ../../ux-designs/ux-foo-bar-2026-05-23/DESIGN.md (matches actual flat-output convention) - SKILL.md Spec Law: fix double-period typo in rule 2 ((stack, conventions)..) - SKILL.md Overview: fix awkward "bloat with expansive line item details the kernel" phrasing; drop software-flavored downstream consumer list since bmad-spec is now a core skill serving any domain * fix(bmad-spec): drop {planning_artifacts} dependency; output to {output_folder}/specs bmad-spec is a core skill but its default path used {planning_artifacts}, a bmm-module variable. Core-only installs (no bmm) would fail at activation when the resolver tried to expand the path. Land specs directly under {output_folder}/specs/spec-{slug}/ instead. Works in any install regardless of installed modules, and aligns with the long-term BMad direction of grouping artifacts as siblings under {output_folder}// rather than nested under planning vs implementation parents. In bmm installs, adopted-companion paths from spec to UX/PRD pick up one extra .. (e.g., ../planning-artifacts/ux-designs//DESIGN.md) since the spec folder is now one level up from planning-artifacts. Examples in SKILL.md and headless-schemas.md updated. module-help.csv output-location updated and stale -{date} fragment removed. * docs(bmad-spec): add reference docs, trim headless schema, tighten defaults - Add full bmad-spec entry to docs/reference/core-tools.md and table-row stubs to cs/fr/vi-vn/zh-cn (full translation pending). - Strip headless-schemas.md to a minimal {status, files} success response and {status, error_code, reason} blocked response. Drop spec_path, capabilities, verdict, decision_log_path — all derivable from the files themselves. - Narrow customize.toml persistent_facts default from recursive glob to single {project-root}/project-context.md; document override path. - Drop unused {doc_workspace} convention line from SKILL.md. - Clarify Self-Validate verdict handling for interactive vs headless. - Document missing_slug error code in SKILL.md + headless schema. --- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | 2 +- docs/cs/reference/core-tools.md | 28 +- docs/fr/reference/core-tools.md | 29 +- docs/reference/core-tools.md | 36 ++- docs/vi-vn/bmad-developer-guide.md | 10 +- docs/vi-vn/reference/core-tools.md | 29 +- docs/zh-cn/reference/core-tools.md | 25 +- removals.txt | 5 + src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/SKILL.md | 177 ----------- .../agents/distillate-compressor.md | 116 ------- .../agents/round-trip-reconstructor.md | 68 ---- .../resources/compression-rules.md | 51 --- .../resources/distillate-format-reference.md | 227 ------------- .../resources/splitting-strategy.md | 78 ----- .../scripts/analyze_sources.py | 300 ------------------ .../scripts/tests/test_analyze_sources.py | 204 ------------ src/core-skills/bmad-spec/SKILL.md | 126 ++++++++ .../bmad-spec/assets/headless-schemas.md | 33 ++ .../bmad-spec/assets/spec-template.md | 49 +++ src/core-skills/bmad-spec/customize.toml | 53 ++++ src/core-skills/module-help.csv | 2 +- 21 files changed, 293 insertions(+), 1355 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/SKILL.md delete mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/agents/distillate-compressor.md delete mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/agents/round-trip-reconstructor.md delete mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/resources/compression-rules.md delete mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/resources/distillate-format-reference.md delete mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/resources/splitting-strategy.md delete mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/scripts/analyze_sources.py delete mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/scripts/tests/test_analyze_sources.py create mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-spec/SKILL.md create mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-spec/assets/headless-schemas.md create mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-spec/assets/spec-template.md create mode 100644 src/core-skills/bmad-spec/customize.toml diff --git a/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json index 96a58fff3..e30519d15 100644 --- a/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json +++ b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ "skills": [ "./src/core-skills/bmad-help", "./src/core-skills/bmad-brainstorming", - "./src/core-skills/bmad-distillator", + "./src/core-skills/bmad-spec", "./src/core-skills/bmad-party-mode", "./src/core-skills/bmad-shard-doc", "./src/core-skills/bmad-advanced-elicitation", diff --git a/docs/cs/reference/core-tools.md b/docs/cs/reference/core-tools.md index 1fca20336..a4c032ada 100644 --- a/docs/cs/reference/core-tools.md +++ b/docs/cs/reference/core-tools.md @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ Spusťte jakýkoli základní nástroj zadáním jeho názvu skillu (např. `bma | [`bmad-help`](#bmad-help) | Task | Kontextové poradenství, co dělat dál | | [`bmad-brainstorming`](#bmad-brainstorming) | Workflow | Facilitace interaktivních brainstormingových sezení | | [`bmad-party-mode`](#bmad-party-mode) | Workflow | Orchestrace skupinových diskuzí více agentů | -| [`bmad-distillator`](#bmad-distillator) | Task | Bezeztrátová LLM-optimalizovaná komprese dokumentů | +| [`bmad-spec`](#bmad-spec) | Workflow | Distill any intent input into a SPEC kernel and companions, the canonical contract for downstream work (translation pending) | | [`bmad-advanced-elicitation`](#bmad-advanced-elicitation) | Task | Iterativní zdokonalování LLM výstupu | | [`bmad-review-adversarial-general`](#bmad-review-adversarial-general) | Task | Cynická revize hledající chybějící a chybné | | [`bmad-review-edge-case-hunter`](#bmad-review-edge-case-hunter) | Task | Vyčerpávající analýza větvících cest pro neošetřené hraniční případy | @@ -97,32 +97,6 @@ Kouzlo se děje v nápadech 50–100.

each platform convention change requires installer update, test, release — largest maintenance burden on team -- Node.js/npm required — blocks non-technical users on UI-based platforms (Claude Co-Work, etc.) -- CSV manifests are static, generated once at install; no runtime scanning/registration -- Unsustainable at 40+ platforms; new tools launching weekly - -## Solution Architecture -- Plugins: skill bundles with Anthropic plugin standard as base format + bmad-manifest.json extending for BMAD-specific metadata (installer options, capabilities, help integration, phase ordering, dependencies) -- Existing manifest example: `{"module-code":"bmm","replaces-skill":"bmad-create-product-brief","capabilities":[{"name":"create-brief","menu-code":"CB","supports-headless":true,"phase-name":"1-analysis","preceded-by":["brainstorming"],"followed-by":["create-prd"],"is-required":true}]}` -- Vercel skills CLI handles platform translation; integration pattern (wrap/fork/call) is PRD decision -- bmad-setup: global skill scanning installed bmad-manifest.json files, registering capabilities, configuring project settings; always included as base skill in every bundle (solves bootstrapping) -- bmad-update: plugin update path without full reinstall; technical approach (diff/replace/preserve customizations) is PRD decision -- Distribution tiers: (1) NPX installer wrapping skills CLI for technical users, (2) zip bundle + platform-specific README for non-technical users, (3) future marketplace -- Non-technical path has honest friction: "copy to right folder" requires knowing where; per-platform README instructions; improves over time as low-code space matures - -## Differentiation -- Anti-fragmentation: BMAD = cross-platform constant; no competitor provides shared methodology layer across AI tools -- Curated quality: all submissions gated, human-reviewed by BMad + core team;

If there is no input, follow the no-input branch in **Workspace** (ask or block). If a prior `SPEC.md` exists at the target folder, read it too — the operation becomes an update. Preserve capability IDs; new capabilities get the next unused `CAP-N`; never reuse retired IDs. Otherwise this is a create. + +When the input is structured and pre-sorted (a PRD with an addendum, a GDD, a brief produced by an upstream BMad skill), trust the authored separation: lift kernel-fitting content into SPEC.md, lift overflow into appropriately-named companions. When the input is mixed (a brain dump, a transcript, an RFC, a customer email), do the sorting yourself: walk each claim, apply the three-lens load-bearing test (Spec Law rule 7), and route to the kernel field or a companion. + +Distill the input into the five-field kernel using `{workflow.spec_template}` as the skeleton. When input is rich, extract directly — no elicitation. When input is sparse, choose: **express** (best-effort distill, every gap becomes an `open_questions[]` entry) or **guided** (walk the five fields with the user one at a time). Headless defaults to express and logs the choice. Interactive asks. + +Write lean from the first pass: every sentence must earn its place. Decoration costs tokens and dilutes downstream readers. + +If the input is genuinely too thin to distill (e.g. "an app for hikers" with no surrounding context), stop and suggest `bmad-prd` (or sibling ceremony skill). This skill distills; it does not coach. + +## Load-bearing + +A claim is **load-bearing** if any consumer (downstream skill, implementing agent, verification pass) would change a decision without it. + +## Companions + +When load-bearing content does not fit the five-field kernel, it lives in a companion. The kernel cites it; the companion holds it. Companions are part of the contract; every consumer reads `companions:` in SPEC.md frontmatter to discover them. Companions follow the same lean discipline as SPEC.md (Spec Law rule 8). + +**Spawn a companion when the content needs more than one kernel-shape line:** multi-item catalogs (per-entity matrices like archetypes, drinks, modes, routes), tables, diagrams (always), editorial voice rules, long-form reference material the kernel cites by name (glossary, brownfield notes, project conventions). Single-line decision-benders stay in Constraints; intent+success pairs stay in Capabilities. If a kernel field is starting to bullet into sub-bullets, the content has outgrown the kernel and wants a companion. + +Companions are either: + +- **Spec-authored** companions are written by bmad-spec and live as **siblings of SPEC.md** (e.g., `glossary.md`, `patron-archetypes.md`). bmad-spec owns them and may edit them on update operations. +- **Adopted** companions are load-bearing artifacts written by an upstream skill that downstream still needs to read. bmad-spec references them into `companions:` by relative path but does NOT edit them (e.g., a `DESIGN.md` or `EXPERIENCE.md` from a UX run, an integration partner's API spec). The originating skill owns them. + +Two rules govern companions: + +1. **Name spec-authored companions for the content type they hold.** `glossary.md`, `.md` (e.g. `patron-archetypes.md`, `medication-routes.md`, `flight-modes.md`), `stack.md`, `conventions.md`, `brownfield.md`, `architecture-diagrams.md`, `state-machines.md`, `failure-modes.md`, `compliance-references.md`. The principle: "a reader should know what is inside before opening it." Adopted companions keep whatever name their originating skill gave them. +2. **Diagrams always land in a companion**, regardless of size. SPEC.md kernel holds prose only. Mermaid blocks, ASCII diagrams, and image references all live in a companion (e.g. `architecture-diagrams.md`), with sibling image files referenced from there. + +Pre-existing project-wide docs (e.g. `project-context.md`) that downstream needs are listed as **adopted companions**, never duplicated into SPEC.md or a spec-authored companion. + +## Spec Law + +Every spec must satisfy these eight rules. The operation aims for them; the self-validate sweep enforces them. + +1. **Each capability has both `intent` and `success`.** Missing either = not a capability. +2. **Intents describe WHAT, not HOW.** Implementation prescription belongs in a companion (stack, conventions). +3. **Constraints actually bend design decisions.** A "constraint" that rules nothing out is decoration. +4. **Non-goals are explicit.** At least one. Absence means downstream skills fill the vacuum. +5. **Success signal is concrete enough to test or demonstrate against.** "Users love it" doesn't qualify. +6. **Capability IDs are stable and unique.** Never reused, never renumbered. +7. **Preservation.** Every load-bearing source claim lands in SPEC.md or a companion. Wrapper ceremony does not. +8. **Lean prose.** Every sentence carries load-bearing content. Cut decoration, hedges, backstory, throat-clearing. Applies to SPEC.md, companions, and `.decision-log.md`. + +## Self-Validate + +After every create or update, sweep the resulting artifact in **two passes** before presenting. + +**Pass 1 — Coherence.** Judge the spec against Spec Law rules 1–6 and 8. For anything that fails or feels weak, attempt to fix it without inventing content the input did not support. Calls made without direct confirmation become `assumptions[]`; gaps that could not be filled become `open_questions[]`. + +**Pass 2 — Preservation.** Walk the source claim by claim. Confirm each load-bearing claim landed in SPEC.md or a companion. Wrapper-ceremony drops are logged under "Wrapper-only content" so the drop is on the record, not silent. + +Append a one-paragraph verdict to `.decision-log.md` covering both passes. In interactive mode, review the verdict with the user. In headless mode, `.decision-log.md` is one of the files returned, so the caller (or its downstream LLM) reads the verdict there. + +## Spec with no change signal + +When the user points the skill at an existing spec folder (or its SPEC.md) with no change signal, offer to review assumptions or open questions, or determine what they want to do. + +## Output + +**Interactive** — share the spec folder path conversationally.

"Examples to get them started" kills the session. +- **Seeded questions are illegal.** "What if you tried a subscription model?" embeds the answer. "What pricing structures have you not considered?" opens the space. +- **Quantity unlocks quality.** Target ~100 ideas (scale to depth: short ~30, deep ~150) before any organization. The breakthroughs live past idea 20. + +Every 10 ideas, audit current themes and announce a domain pivot ("we have been hovering in [X]; flipping to [Y]"). LLMs cluster semantically; the pivot is the antidote. + +Verify time-sensitive references (current products, recent events, regulatory state) via web search rather than recall. Training data is months stale. + +## Canvas + +Open Canvas at session start. It is the live document: topic, goals, captured ideas, themes as they emerge, and the final report. Update continuously, not at the end. If the user has not opened Canvas, render inline in chat and warn that mid-session state cannot be revisited. + +Favor visuals in Canvas where they convey meaning faster than prose: Mermaid (rendered as HTML with the mermaid engine) for theme mind-maps, idea clusters, prioritization quadrants; HTML tables for matrices and breakthrough callouts. Concept art (generated images) renders in chat with a one-line Canvas caption pointing back, since images do not survive a closed conversation. + +## Session Flow + +### 1. Open +Greet in persona. Use `user_name` if set; otherwise ask once. Surface `suggested_focus` as an invitation, not a constraint. Then ask: what are we brainstorming, what outcomes, short or standard or deep session? Restate and confirm in one sentence. + +### 2. Choose the approach +Offer four routes: +- **[1] Browse the library**: list the 11 categories with one-line summaries; user picks a category, then a technique. +- **[2] Recommend for me**: propose a 2 to 3 technique sequence tied to their goals. +- **[3] Random surprise**: two random techniques from contrasting categories. +- **[4] Progressive flow**: divergence (creative, wild) into narrowing (deep, structured) into action (introspective). + +### 3. Facilitate +For each technique: + +1. **Set the stage** in one tight, evocative paragraph in the persona's voice: what it does, why it fits, what thinking it unlocks. +2. **One prompt at a time.** Never dump all angles at once. +3. **Reflect, then ask.** Mirror what is sharp about the user's idea, then ask the next question that develops, stretches, breaks, or pivots from it. Legal moves: "what makes that alive for you?", "push it weirder", "who else benefits?", "what would have to be true?", "what is the opposite?" +4. **Energy-check every 4 to 5 exchanges.** Push, switch angle, or switch technique. +5. **Domain pivot every 10 ideas** (see Core Stance). +6. **If the user goes dry, do not rescue with ideas.** Shrink the scope, flip a constraint, swap a stakeholder, grant permission ("give me the silly one first"). +7. **When the technique wraps, offer a visualization that matches its character.** Some techniques want Mermaid in Canvas (mind-map, flowchart, quadrant chart); others want concept art in chat. Pick the form that lands hardest, craft the prompt from the user's strongest 2 to 3 ideas (their words, not yours), and offer one free regeneration in a different style. + +Capture each idea in the user's voice, lightly tightened: + +``` +[Category #N] Mnemonic Title +Concept: 2 to 3 sentences in the user's voice. +Novelty: what makes it different from the obvious answer. +``` + +Keep exploring by default. Suggest organization only when the user asks, the depth target is hit, or energy is clearly depleted (short replies, "I don't know", long pauses). + +### 4. Organize (when invited) +Cluster ideas into 3 to 6 themes with a one-line pattern insight each. Surface a Breakthrough Concepts set and Cross-Cutting Connections. Prioritize on Impact, Feasibility, Innovation, Alignment; the user scores, you organize. Build action plans for the top 3 (next steps, resources, obstacles, success metrics) from their answers. + +### 5. Finalize +Canvas is already populated from continuous updates. Promote it into the final report shape: + +1. **Session Overview** (topic, goals, techniques, idea count, date, coach name) +2. **Complete Idea Inventory** by theme, using the capture format +3. **Breakthrough Concepts** with a paragraph each on why the user's framing was sharp +4. **Prioritized Picks** with full action plans +5. **Session Reflections** in the persona's voice, as a love letter to the user's thinking + +Add visualizations: + +- **Theme mind-map** in Canvas as Mermaid `mindmap`: topic at center, theme branches, 2 to 3 leaf nodes per branch with the strongest titles in the user's words. +- **2x2 prioritization** in Canvas as Mermaid `quadrantChart`: X = Feasibility, Y = Impact, top 8 plotted as labeled points. +- **Breakthrough collage** in chat as a generated image. Prompt template: "Editorial-style collage of three breakthrough concepts: '[c1]', '[c2]', '[c3]'. One panel per concept with a symbolic visual metaphor. Cohesive palette, magazine-quality, no text in images." Add a one-line Canvas caption pointing to the chat. Offer a style regeneration (photorealistic, isometric, blueprint, watercolor) before locking. + +Every idea in the report traces back to the user. Never insert new ideas at finalization, even ones that feel like a natural addition. + +## Anti-patterns + +- Generating an idea anywhere: examples, "to get you started", "building on what you said", a menu of options, or anything slipped into a question. +- Taking a turn after a thin response. Two ideas from the user buys you a sharper question, not five of your own. +- Em dashes. Use periods, commas, semicolons, or parens. +- Producing the final report outside Canvas.

The user must feel the PRD is their creation. When you find yourself naming wedges, picking MVP cuts, or proposing phases, stop: you have crossed from elicitation into authoring.

Implementation belongs in the Addendum. + +## Canvas + +Open Canvas at session start. Two sections, separated by headings, updated continuously as content forms: + +1. **PRD**: the deliverable. Starts as a skeleton with `status: draft`. Capabilities only; tech choices live in the Addendum. +2. **Addendum**: depth that belongs downstream (architecture, UX spec) or earned a place but does not fit the PRD: rejected alternatives, mechanism decisions, in-depth personas, sizing data. A bulleted **Decisions** subsection inside the Addendum holds scope cuts, rejected directions, and overrides that need a paper trail. Capture as the user volunteers it; do not wait for finalize. + +Favor visuals in Canvas where they convey meaning faster than prose: Mermaid (rendered as HTML with the mermaid engine) for User Journeys (`journey` or `sequenceDiagram`), FR dependencies (`graph LR`), MVP phasing (`gantt`), stakes (`quadrantChart`). HTML tables for the FR catalog, the Glossary, the Success Metrics × FR cross-reference, validation verdicts, and the Adapt-In Menu picker.

Begin in Discovery before drafting. +- **Update.** Reconcile an existing PRD with a change signal. Read the PRD, Addendum, and any original inputs first. Surface conflicts (assumptions, scope, decisions implicit in the FR shape) before applying. If the change is fundamental enough that patching would distort the PRD, offer a fresh Create pass. +- **Validate.** Critique without changing. Read the PRD and Addendum, then apply the rubric in `prd-validation-checklist.md`. Return findings inline; do not rewrite unless asked. Offer at the end to roll findings into an Update. + +## Discovery + +Sequence: **Brain dump → Stakes → Working mode → mode-scoped work.** Get to working mode in two or three turns, not ten. Users in a hurry must not be held hostage by upstream probing. + +**Brain dump.** Always the first move, even when the user opens with paragraphs (that is intake, not the dump). Ask for verbal context and any inputs they want you to read: brief, research, transcripts, competitive analysis, prior draft, design docs. A simple "anything else?" surfaces what they almost forgot. + +**Verify time-sensitive facts via web search.** Training data is months stale. Landscape, comparables, library or framework versions, regulatory status, AI specifics: web-search rather than recall. + +**Stakes calibration.** One short probe: hobby, internal tool, or launch. Enough to set rigor and section depth. + +**Concern scan.** Reading what the user gave you, name the concerns this product actually carries (compliance, integration density, operational SLAs, hardware constraints, public APIs, monetization, data governance, whatever applies).

Best for "I am pitching tomorrow." +- **Coaching path.** Walk PM-thinking sections together. Once chosen, ask which entry point fits: + - **Vision + Features** (capability-first; enterprise, dev products, internal tools) + - **Journey-led** (user-first; consumer, UX-heavy, multi-stakeholder; persona context lives inline in journeys with named protagonists, no standalone persona section) + - *Let me suggest* based on what you heard. The chosen entry sets the section order. + +**User Journeys are captured, not authored.** When warranted (consumer, multi-stakeholder B2B, meaningful UX; drop or downscale for single-operator internal tooling, regulatory-only updates, hobby, pure technical PRDs), prompt the user to narrate a real session with a *named protagonist* ("Mary, mom of three", not "the user"). Structure their answer into UJ-N form and confirm. Persona context lives inline at the moments that matter. + +## Drafting + +Populate the Canvas PRD section by section in the order the chosen entry point implies. Document Purpose and Vision often come last (they summarize, so drafting first leads to padding). + +For each section: frame one tight question that opens the territory ("Walk me through a real day in the life of the user who feels this pain" beats "Who is the user?"), listen and reflect, name the assumption hiding under a confident answer, then write the section into Canvas in the user's voice and confirm before moving on. Mark inferred content `[ASSUMPTION]` and add it to the Assumptions Index. When the user volunteers depth that belongs downstream, capture it to the Addendum in the moment. When a real choice is made (scope cut, direction picked, alternative rejected), one dated line in the Decisions subsection. + +## PRD Discipline + +- **Shape.** Features grouped; FRs nested with globally numbered stable IDs (FR-1 through FR-N). Cross-cutting NFRs in their own section. Treat the **Essential Spine** in `prd-template.md` as the expected default; present it unless the product genuinely does not need a section. The **Adapt-In Menu** is conditional: pull in the clusters the product's concerns need. Invent sections when concerns are not named. Counter-metrics named when Success Metrics exist. +- **Glossary discipline.** Every domain noun is defined once. FRs, UJs, and SMs use Glossary terms verbatim. Synonyms anywhere are a discipline violation. New noun mid-draft means a Glossary update in the same pass. +- **ID continuity.** UJ-1..N, FR-1..N globally (not per feature), SM-1..N with counter-metrics SM-C1..N. FRs reference journeys inline ("realizes UJ-3"); SMs reference the FRs they validate. +- **Length scales with stakes.** Hobby PRDs aim for two pages; internal tools five to eight; launch PRDs run as long as FRs and concerns require.

Polish goes last so it does not redo work after fixes. + +1. **Addendum review.** Each entry either landed in the PRD or remains as supporting depth; prune noise; once-over the Decisions subsection for staleness. +2. **Input reconciliation.** For each input the user gave you, surface gaps between that input and the PRD plus Addendum, especially qualitative ideas (tone, voice, feel) the FR structure silently drops. Must happen before polish. +3. **Reviewer pass.** Run the Validate dimensions against the current draft; surface critical and high findings; resolve them before polish. +4. **Triage open items.** Every Open Question, `[ASSUMPTION]`, `[NOTE FOR PM]`. Phase-blockers (would make the PRD unsafe for UX, architecture, epics) are surfaced and resolved. Non-blockers deferred with owner and revisit condition, captured to the Decisions subsection. Flag if phase-blocker count is high. +5. **Polish.** Tighten language; confirm every `[ASSUMPTION]` is resolved or explicitly left open; make sure the PRD reads as a coherent story. Sweep visuals: User Journeys with multi-step flows as Mermaid `journey`; FR catalog, Glossary, and SM × FR cross-reference as HTML tables. Propose swaps where prose is leaning on what a visual would land harder. +6. **Close.** Set `status: final` and update the date.

Strategic coherence + +Does the PRD have a thesis? Do the features serve a unified arc, or is it a list of capabilities someone wanted? + +Look for: +- A stated thesis the PRD bets on (problem framing, user insight, market move). +- Feature prioritization that follows from the thesis, not from "what's easy first." +- Success Metrics that validate the thesis, not metrics that just measure activity (DAU/MAU when the thesis is about engagement quality is a tell). +- Counter-metrics named when SMs exist. +- Coherent MVP scope kind (problem-solving, experience, platform, or revenue) with scope logic that matches. + +Red flag: a PRD that reads as a backlog with section headings. + +### 4. Done-ness clarity + +Would an engineer reading this PRD know what "done" looks like for each FR? + +Look for: +- FRs with at least one testable consequence per FR; verifiable condition, measurable outcome. +- "System handles X gracefully," "reasonable performance," "user-friendly"; flag every one. +- Acceptance criteria implied or explicit.

Scope honesty + +Are omissions explicit, or is the reader meant to infer them? + +Look for: +- A Non-Goals section where it would do real work; and `[NON-GOAL for MVP]` callouts where omissions could be silently assumed. +- `[ASSUMPTION: …]` tags on inferences the user didn't directly confirm, indexed at the end. +- `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts at deferred decisions and unresolved tensions. +- De-scoping proposed honestly, not done silently. + +Open-items density: count Open Questions + `[ASSUMPTION]` + `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts relative to stakes.

If you cannot write a compelling press release, the product is not ready. The customer FAQ validates the value proposition from outside in. The internal FAQ addresses feasibility and trade-offs. The verdict surfaces what survived. + +This is hardcore mode: direct coaching, hard questions, vague answers challenged. But when the user is stuck, offer concrete suggestions and alternatives.

A mock press-release hero image renders in chat with a Canvas caption pointing back: that is the place evocative image generation earns its slot here. + +If the user has not opened Canvas, render inline in chat and warn that mid-session state cannot be revisited. + +## Operating Principles + +- **Customer-first.** If the user leads with a solution ("I want to build X") or technology ("I want to use AI"), redirect to the customer's problem. Technology is a *how*, not a *why*. +- **Specificity over fluency.** "Significantly", "best-in-class", "revolutionary", "seamless" are weasel words. Push for the concrete claim. If there is no concrete claim, that is the finding. +- **Draft, self-challenge, invite, deepen.** Draft the section yourself; challenge your own draft out loud; invite the user to sharpen; push one level deeper on what they give back. +- **Suggest, do not gatekeep.** When stuck, offer 2 to 3 concrete alternatives to react to. Their job is to pick or reframe; yours is to give them something to push against. +- **Verify time-sensitive facts via web search.** Whenever a competitive claim, market fact, regulatory state, product version, or current event is load-bearing, search the web rather than recall. The whole point of the PRFAQ is to find what is real before committing resources; do not undermine it with stale priors. + +## Session Flow + +### 1. Open +Greet in the persona's voice. Use `user_name` if set, otherwise ask once. Frame the session as a challenge, not a warm exploration: surviving the gauntlet means the concept is ready; failing here saves wasted effort. Briefly ground the user on what a PRFAQ is and why. If the persona declares a `suggested_focus`, surface it as an invitation, not a constraint. + +### Stage 1: Ignition + +Goal: get the raw concept on the table and establish customer-first thinking. + +Capture four essentials before progressing: + +1. Who is the customer or user? (Specific persona, not "everyone".) +2. What is their problem? (Concrete and felt.) +3. Why does it matter? (Stakes and consequences.) +4. What is the initial concept for a solution? (Rough is fine.) + +If the user provides all four in the opener, acknowledge, confirm, and move to Stage 2. + +Name the concept type (commercial product, internal tool, open-source project, community / nonprofit). Store as `concept_type`; it calibrates FAQ questions in Stages 3 and 4 (non-commercial concepts do not have "unit economics" or "first 100 customers"; adapt to stakeholder value, adoption paths, and sustainability). + +Graceful redirect: if after 2 or 3 exchanges the user cannot articulate a customer or problem, suggest the idea may need exploration first and recommend brainstorming before returning. + +Once you have the four essentials, write the captured customer / problem / stakes / concept into a Canvas preamble. Route to Stage 2 when you have enough to draft a headline. + +### Stage 2: The Press Release + +Goal: produce a press release that would make a real customer stop scrolling. Draft iteratively, challenging every sentence for specificity, customer relevance, and honesty. + +Concept type adaptation: for non-commercial concepts, "announce the initiative" not "announce the product"; "How to Participate" not "Getting Started"; "Community Member quote" not "Customer quote". Structure stays; language shifts. + +Walk through these sections in order. Each forces a different clarity: + +| Section | What it forces | +|---------|----------------| +| Headline | Can you say what this is in one sentence a customer would understand? | +| Subheadline | Who benefits and what changes for them? | +| Opening paragraph | What are you announcing, who is it for, why should they care? | +| Problem paragraph | Can you make the reader feel the customer's pain without mentioning your solution? | +| Solution paragraph | What changes for the customer? (Not: what did you build.) | +| Leader quote | What is the vision beyond the feature list? | +| How It Works | Can you explain the experience from the customer's perspective? | +| Customer quote | Would a real person say this? Does it sound human? | +| Getting Started | Is the path to value clear and concrete? | + +Per section: draft yourself, challenge your own draft out loud (name the weasel words, unsupported claims, jargon), invite the user to sharpen, push one level deeper on their response. Replace the Canvas placeholder with the approved text as each section locks. + +Quality bars to embody (do not enumerate to the user): no jargon a customer would not use; no weasel words; the mom test (could you explain this to someone outside the industry?); the "so what?" test on every sentence; compelling without being dishonest. + +Once the press release reads as cohesive, offer to generate a hero image (product photo, scene, or symbolic visual) for the top of the announcement page. Render in chat; add a Canvas caption pointing back. + +Route to Stage 3 when the full press release reads as a coherent announcement. + +### Stage 3: Customer FAQ + +Goal: validate the value proposition by asking the hardest questions a real user would ask. You are the customer now: a busy, skeptical person who has been burned by promises before. + +Generate 6 to 10 questions across these angles: + +- **Skepticism.** "How is this different from [existing solution]?" / "Why switch from what I use today?" +- **Trust.** "What happens to my data?" / "What if this shuts down?" / "Who is behind this?" +- **Practical.** Cost, time to get started, interop with what they already use. +- **Edge cases.** "What if I need [uncommon but real scenario]?" +- **The hard question the team hopes nobody asks.** Find it and ask it. + +No softballs. "How do I sign up?" is a CTA, not a FAQ. For non-commercial concepts: "effort to adopt" not "cost"; "why change from current workflow" not "competitor switching"; "maintenance and sustainability" not "trust / company viability". + +Present all questions at once as an HTML table in Canvas (Question / Answer / Honesty check / Specificity check). Work through answers together. For each: is it honest? is it specific? would a customer believe it? If an answer reveals a real gap in the concept, name it and force a decision: launch blocker, fast-follow, or accepted trade-off. The user can add their own questions; often they know the scary ones best. + +Route to Stage 4 when every question has an honest, specific answer. + +### Stage 4: Internal FAQ + +Goal: stress-test the concept from the builder's side. Customer FAQ asked "should I use this?" Internal FAQ asks "can we actually pull this off, and should we?" You are the skeptical stakeholder panel now: engineering lead, finance, legal, operations, the CEO who has seen a hundred pitches. + +Generate 6 to 10 questions across: + +- **Feasibility.** Hardest technical problem, what we do not know how to build, dependencies, risks. +- **Business viability.** Unit economics, first 100 customers, moat durability. +- **Resource reality.** Team shape, realistic timeline, what we have to say no to. +- **Risk.** What kills this, worst-case scenario, regulatory or legal exposure. +- **Strategic fit.** Why us? Why now? What does this cannibalize? Three-year shape if it works. +- **The question the founder avoids.** The internal counterpart to the hard customer question. + +Calibrate to context: solo founder building an MVP needs different questions than a team inside a large org. Non-commercial concepts: "maintenance burden" not "unit economics"; "adoption strategy" not "customer acquisition"; "sustainability and contributor engagement" not "competitive moat". + +Present as an HTML table in Canvas with one column per stakeholder lens (Engineering / Finance / Legal / Ops / CEO). Work through answers; demand specificity ("we will figure it out" is not an answer; neither is "we will hire for that"). Honest unknowns are fine; unexamined unknowns are not. Resources and timelines are the most commonly over-optimistic; push for concrete scoping. + +Route to Stage 5 when the user has a clear-eyed view of what execution actually takes. Optimism is fine; delusion is not. + +### Stage 5: The Verdict + +Goal: candid narrative assessment, not a score. Where is the thinking sharp? Where is it still soft? What survived? + +Three categories: + +- **Forged in steel.** Clear, compelling, defensible. Sections a customer would actually stop for. FAQ answers that are honest and convincing. +- **Needs more heat.** Promising but underdeveloped; direction without depth. +- **Cracks in the foundation.** Genuine risks, contradictions, or gaps that could undermine the concept. For every crack, suggest what addressing it would take. + +Present directly; do not soften. The point is surfacing truth before committing resources. + +Finalize Canvas: polish the press release as a cohesive narrative; keep FAQs as HTML tables for scannability; append **The Verdict** at the bottom rendered as a Mermaid `quadrantChart` (or color-coded HTML callout) showing the three-category shape at a glance, then expand each category with narrative findings. Set status to "complete". + +Confirm whether the PRFAQ has survived the gauntlet (or honestly note it has not). Suggest the next step: take this into PRD creation, or loop back to a specific stage to revise. + +## Anti-patterns + +- Letting the user skip the customer. If they keep returning to solution or technology, keep redirecting. +- Accepting weasel words. "Significant", "best-in-class", "seamless", "world-class", "AI-powered" signal the underlying claim has not been made. +- Softball FAQ questions. The value is in the questions the user is afraid of. +- Generating research-grounded claims from priors. Web-search load-bearing facts; only ask the user when web search cannot resolve it. +- Softening the verdict to be nice. The user came here for the truth. +- Em dashes.

Previously, the guardrail was either missing (bmad-product-brief, bmad-prd, bmad-investigate) or too weak ("Begin the workflow below"). LLM agents would short-circuit complex activation sequences (INCLUDE → READ → RUN → CHECK → FILTER → CD) by guessing variables instead of executing steps in order, causing append steps and on_complete hooks to be silently skipped. The new guardrail explicitly names both prepend and append steps, requiring confirmation before proceeding. This prevents agents from starting the main workflow in parallel with activation. 23 skills updated: bmad-product-brief, bmad-prd, bmad-prfaq, bmad-investigate, bmad-create-story, bmad-dev-story, bmad-quick-dev, bmad-code-review, bmad-correct-course, bmad-sprint-planning, bmad-sprint-status, bmad-retrospective, bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests, bmad-checkpoint-preview, bmad-check-implementation-readiness, bmad-create-architecture, bmad-create-epics-and-stories, bmad-generate-project-context, bmad-create-ux-design, bmad-document-project, bmad-market-research, bmad-technical-research, bmad-domain-research. * fix(skills): extend activation gate to agent + new skills, refine placement - bmad-product-brief / bmad-prd: pull activation_steps_append out of the numbered list so the sentinel reads as a paragraph break, not as the next list item. - bmad-investigate: move the sentinel above Step 7 (routing) — Step 7 is workflow routing, not activation; the gate must fire first. - bmad-agent-{analyst,tech-writer,pm,ux-designer,architect,dev}: add the same gate between Step 7 (append) and Step 8 (menu dispatch). Persona skills had the same short-circuit risk but no sentinel. - bmad-ux, bmad-spec: new skills introduced on main after this branch forked; apply the same gate so the pattern stays consistent. - removals.txt: register bmad-create-ux-design as renamed to bmad-ux. --------- Co-authored-by: Brian Madison --- removals.txt | 3 +++ src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-agent-analyst/SKILL.md | 2 ++ src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-agent-tech-writer/SKILL.md | 2 ++ src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-document-project/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-prfaq/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md | 5 ++++- .../1-analysis/research/bmad-domain-research/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../1-analysis/research/bmad-market-research/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../1-analysis/research/bmad-technical-research/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-agent-pm/SKILL.md | 2 ++ .../2-plan-workflows/bmad-agent-ux-designer/SKILL.md | 2 ++ src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/SKILL.md | 5 ++++- src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-ux/SKILL.md | 5 ++++- src/bmm-skills/3-solutioning/bmad-agent-architect/SKILL.md | 2 ++ .../bmad-check-implementation-readiness/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../3-solutioning/bmad-create-architecture/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../3-solutioning/bmad-create-epics-and-stories/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../3-solutioning/bmad-generate-project-context/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-agent-dev/SKILL.md | 2 ++ .../4-implementation/bmad-checkpoint-preview/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-code-review/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-correct-course/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-create-story/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-dev-story/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-investigate/SKILL.md | 2 ++ .../4-implementation/bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-quick-dev/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-retrospective/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../4-implementation/bmad-sprint-planning/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/bmad-sprint-status/SKILL.md | 2 +- src/core-skills/bmad-spec/SKILL.md | 5 ++++- 31 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/removals.txt b/removals.txt index a694583e6..968d98180 100644 --- a/removals.txt +++ b/removals.txt @@ -57,3 +57,6 @@ bmad-bmm-validate-prd # bmad-distillator: superseded by bmad-spec (universal intent distiller with # preservation-validated contract for downstream skills). bmad-distillator +# bmad-create-ux-design: renamed to bmad-ux (spine-based skill with separate +# DESIGN.md and EXPERIENCE.md outputs). +bmad-create-ux-design diff --git a/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-agent-analyst/SKILL.md b/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-agent-analyst/SKILL.md index 4653171df..c672058eb 100644 --- a/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-agent-analyst/SKILL.md +++ b/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-agent-analyst/SKILL.md @@ -63,6 +63,8 @@ Continue to prefix your messages with `{agent.icon}` throughout the session so t Execute each entry in `{agent.activation_steps_append}` in order. +Activation is complete.

Checks for duplicate orders, gaps in sequence, and missing order fields. For translations, also warns on order drift from English counterparts. Wired into the quality script as docs:validate-sidebar. * fix(validate-sidebar): tighten language detection and drift guard, add docstrings * fix(validate-sidebar): replace subdirectory heuristic with locale pattern matching detectLanguageDirs() previously classified any top-level docs/ directory containing subdirectories as a translation language. This was too broad — if an English section ever gained nested subfolders it would be silently excluded from validation. Replaced with a BCP 47 locale-code regex (/^[a-z]{2}(?:-[a-zA-Z]{2})?$/) that matches known patterns (cs, fr, vi-vn, zh-cn) and won't falsely classify content sections like explanation/ or reference/. * fix(validate-sidebar): guard drift check against undefined order values extractSidebarOrder() returns { hasSidebar: false } when no sidebar block exists, leaving order as undefined rather than null. The drift check only guarded against null, allowing undefined values to emit noisy warnings like "Order drift: ... order undefined". Changed the guard to typeof === 'number' which correctly excludes both undefined and null without relying on a specific sentinel value. * chore(validate-sidebar): add JSDoc docstrings to all functions Adds @param and @returns annotations to extractSidebarOrder, detectLanguageDirs, getEnglishSections, checkDirectory, checkTranslationDrift, and relativePath. * fix(validate-sidebar): add to pre-commit hook * refactor(validate-sidebar): harden parsing and edge-case handling Refactor to main() wrapper with pure return-based APIs, single directory scan, and shared reporting. Harden frontmatter parsing (anchored delimiter, direct-child-only order extraction, flow mapping support) and validation (Infinity/zero guard, gap flood cap, multi-segment locales, graceful ENOENT). * docs: fix sidebar.order duplicates and gaps across all locales Resolves all validator errors flagged by the new tools/validate-sidebar-order.js check. English (docs/{explanation,how-to,reference}/): - Renumbered to remove duplicates; established reading order for new explanation pages added since orders were last set. Translations (cs, fr, vi-vn, zh-cn): - Mirrored English structural ordering where files exist, then compacted to 1..N within each directory to eliminate gaps caused by missing translation files. Non-blocking drift warnings remain where translation directories have fewer files than English; these are expected per the validator's design. --------- Co-authored-by: Brian Madison --- .husky/pre-commit | 2 + docs/cs/explanation/advanced-elicitation.md | 2 +- docs/cs/explanation/adversarial-review.md | 2 +- .../explanation/established-projects-faq.md | 2 +- docs/cs/explanation/party-mode.md | 2 +- .../explanation/preventing-agent-conflicts.md | 2 +- docs/cs/explanation/project-context.md | 2 +- docs/cs/explanation/quick-dev.md | 2 +- .../cs/explanation/why-solutioning-matters.md | 2 +- docs/cs/reference/commands.md | 2 +- docs/cs/reference/core-tools.md | 2 +- docs/cs/reference/modules.md | 2 +- docs/cs/reference/testing.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/advanced-elicitation.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/adversarial-review.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/analysis-phase.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/brainstorming.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/checkpoint-preview.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/established-projects-faq.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/forensic-investigation.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/party-mode.md | 2 +- .../explanation/preventing-agent-conflicts.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/project-context.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/quick-dev.md | 2 +- docs/explanation/why-solutioning-matters.md | 2 +- docs/fr/explanation/advanced-elicitation.md | 2 +- docs/fr/explanation/adversarial-review.md | 2 +- docs/fr/explanation/checkpoint-preview.md | 2 +- .../explanation/established-projects-faq.md | 2 +- docs/fr/explanation/forensic-investigation.md | 2 +- docs/fr/explanation/party-mode.md | 2 +- .../explanation/preventing-agent-conflicts.md | 2 +- docs/fr/explanation/project-context.md | 2 +- docs/fr/explanation/quick-dev.md | 2 +- .../fr/explanation/why-solutioning-matters.md | 2 +- docs/how-to/expand-bmad-for-your-org.md | 2 +- docs/reference/commands.md | 2 +- docs/reference/core-tools.md | 2 +- docs/reference/modules.md | 2 +- docs/reference/testing.md | 2 +- .../vi-vn/explanation/advanced-elicitation.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/explanation/adversarial-review.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/explanation/analysis-phase.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/explanation/brainstorming.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/explanation/checkpoint-preview.md | 2 +- .../explanation/established-projects-faq.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/explanation/party-mode.md | 2 +- .../explanation/preventing-agent-conflicts.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/explanation/project-context.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/explanation/quick-dev.md | 2 +- .../explanation/why-solutioning-matters.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/how-to/established-projects.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/how-to/expand-bmad-for-your-org.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/how-to/get-answers-about-bmad.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/how-to/project-context.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/how-to/quick-fixes.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/how-to/shard-large-documents.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/how-to/upgrade-to-v6.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/reference/commands.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/reference/core-tools.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/reference/modules.md | 2 +- docs/vi-vn/reference/testing.md | 2 +- .../zh-cn/explanation/advanced-elicitation.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/explanation/adversarial-review.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/explanation/analysis-phase.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/explanation/brainstorming.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/explanation/checkpoint-preview.md | 2 +- .../explanation/established-projects-faq.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/explanation/party-mode.md | 2 +- .../explanation/preventing-agent-conflicts.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/explanation/project-context.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/explanation/quick-dev.md | 2 +- .../explanation/why-solutioning-matters.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/how-to/customize-bmad.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/how-to/established-projects.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/how-to/expand-bmad-for-your-org.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/how-to/get-answers-about-bmad.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/how-to/project-context.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/how-to/quick-fixes.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/how-to/shard-large-documents.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/how-to/upgrade-to-v6.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/reference/commands.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/reference/core-tools.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/reference/modules.md | 2 +- docs/zh-cn/reference/testing.md | 2 +- package.json | 3 +- tools/validate-sidebar-order.js | 388 ++++++++++++++++++ 87 files changed, 476 insertions(+), 85 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/validate-sidebar-order.js diff --git a/.husky/pre-commit b/.husky/pre-commit index ae9e0c44f..9d7c37791 100755 --- a/.husky/pre-commit +++ b/.husky/pre-commit @@ -10,11 +10,13 @@ npm test if command -v rg >/dev/null 2>&1;

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * feat(web-bundles): add release packager + bundle manifest Adds the infrastructure for shipping web bundles as downloadable ZIPs attached to a GitHub Release, consumed by the upcoming bmadcode.com/web-bundles/ page. - web-bundles/bundles.json — manifest with persona, tagline, description, accent color, motif key, knowledge files, and feature flags (web-browsing, deep-research, stitch integration) for each of the 6 bundles. Top-level releaseTag and downloadUrlPattern so the consuming page can construct download URLs without hardcoding. - tools/bundle-web-bundles.js — packager that zips each bundle dir into dist/web-bundles/{slug}.zip and prints the gh release create command. Zero dependencies; uses system zip. - .gitignore — exclude dist/web-bundles/ build artifacts. The web-bundles-v1.0.0 release on GitHub is currently in draft state with the 6 zips attached; it'll be published in coordination with the Ghost site page going live. * fix(web-bundles): single-source release tag, sharper bundle copy - Remove downloadUrlPattern from bundles.json — the consuming page derives the URL from releaseTag, so version bumps now touch one field instead of two. - product-brief-coach: drop "one-page" (briefs are whatever length the product earns). - brainstorming-coach: real numbers — 60 techniques across 10 categories — with concrete examples (SCAMPER, Drunk History Retelling, Nature's Solutions, Six Thinking Hats, etc.) so the card actually communicates the surprising breadth. * fix(web-bundles): harden release script per PR review - Verify the zip CLI is on PATH up front with a clear install hint, instead of crashing mid-zip with an opaque execSync error. - Wrap JSON.parse in try/catch; validate the manifest shape (bundles array non-empty, releaseTag present, slug present per entry) before trying to package, so config errors fail with a targeted message. - Catch zip failures per-bundle and surface the failing slug. - Refuse to print the gh release command when zero bundles were packaged (would otherwise mislead the user into creating an empty release). - Derive --title from manifest.releaseTag so the printed command can never drift from the actual tag (was previously hardcoded "Web Bundles v1" while the tag had moved to v1.0.0). - Remove the stale `web-bundles-v1` example from the file header. Addresses augmentcode bot review comments on PR #2424. * docs(web-bundles): rewrite copy to actually sell what each bundle does The JSON drives the bmadcode.com/web-bundles/ page; previous copy was generic and undersold the actual capabilities. Rewrote each tagline + description to lead with concrete, differentiating facts pulled directly from each bundle's SKILL.md: - Brainstorming Coach: 60 techniques across 10 categories with specific names (SCAMPER, Drunk History Retelling, Nature's Solutions, Shadow Work Mining, Superposition Collapse); calls out the 4 routes (browse, recommend, random, progressive) and the ~100-idea quantity-unlocks-quality target. - Product Brief Coach: names the three intent modes (Create / Update / Validate) and the two working paths (Fast / Coaching); surfaces the [ASSUMPTION] tag system and the Addendum. - PRFAQ Coach: details the 4 stages (Ignition / Press Release / Customer FAQ / Internal FAQ + Verdict), the 9 press release sections, the weasel-word list ("best-in-class", "seamless"), and that it adapts for commercial, internal, OSS, community. - PRD Coach: spells out the two entry points (Vision+Features vs Journey-led), named-protagonist journeys, glossary discipline, stable ID system (FR-1..N, SM-C1..N), and the 7-dimension validation rubric. - UX Coach: leads with the two-spine contract (DESIGN.md + EXPERIENCE.md), Don Norman framing, named-protagonist journeys, surface closure as the test, and Stitch integration. - Market & Industry Research: leads with Deep Research as the engine, names Porter and Christensen as anchors, lists the 6 deliverable sections, and frames the deliverable as synthesis not a research dump. * fix(web-bundles): security hardening + strict bundle validation Two issues raised by coderabbit on the latest commit: 1. Shell injection surface: execSync was building the zip command with a template literal that interpolated bundle.slug from JSON. Even with our controlled inputs, a slug with shell metacharacters would break quoting. Switched to execFileSync with an argument array (no shell) and added a strict ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$ slug regex enforced before any FS or zip call. 2. Missing bundle directories were [SKIP]-warned but the script still printed the release command, allowing an incomplete release to ship cleanly. Now treated as fatal: any missing or invalid slug blocks the printed gh command and exits non-zero with the offending slugs listed. --- .gitignore | 3 + tools/bundle-web-bundles.js | 117 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ web-bundles/bundles.json | 139 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 259 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tools/bundle-web-bundles.js create mode 100644 web-bundles/bundles.json diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 9279c89d1..1483c0538 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -81,3 +81,6 @@ _bmad/custom/*.user.toml website/.astro/ website/dist/ build/ + +# Web bundle release artifacts +dist/web-bundles/ diff --git a/tools/bundle-web-bundles.js b/tools/bundle-web-bundles.js new file mode 100644 index 000000000..470052311 --- /dev/null +++ b/tools/bundle-web-bundles.js @@ -0,0 +1,117 @@ +/** + * Web Bundle Release Packager + * + * Zips each bundle under web-bundles/ into dist/web-bundles/{slug}.zip + * for attachment to a GitHub Release. + * + * Usage: + * node tools/bundle-web-bundles.js + * + * After running, the script prints the exact `gh release create` command + * (with the correct tag from bundles.json) for you to copy. + */ + +const fs = require('node:fs'); +const path = require('node:path'); +const { execSync, execFileSync } = require('node:child_process'); + +const REPO_ROOT = path.resolve(__dirname, '..'); +const BUNDLES_DIR = path.join(REPO_ROOT, 'web-bundles'); +const DIST_DIR = path.join(REPO_ROOT, 'dist', 'web-bundles'); +const MANIFEST = path.join(BUNDLES_DIR, 'bundles.json'); +const SLUG_RE = /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$/; + +function fail(msg) { + console.error(`[ERROR] ${msg}`); + process.exit(1); +} + +function requireZipCli() { + try { + execSync('zip -v', { stdio: 'ignore' }); + } catch { + fail("'zip' CLI not found on PATH.

The update path used `git reset --hard origin/HEAD` which never picked up new commits pushed to the default branch. Resolve the default branch name via `git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`, then fetch and reset against `origin/` explicitly. Falls back to `main` if origin/HEAD is not set.
