From 4c83cc614ce503187dafe31b20353df39f47f55b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "James (Claude Code)" Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 00:01:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Complete dev.md agent restoration with full quality framework integration Restored dev agent to original BMAD Method structure while preserving complete quality framework enhancements: - Restored essential commands: reality-audit, build-context, escalate, workspace-* - Complete task dependencies for quality framework automation - Preserved develop-story workflow with order-of-execution rules - Maintained original simplicity with enhanced capabilities - Fixed dependency organization (tasks vs checklists) Dev agent now provides original BMAD Method discipline with full quality enforcement and collaborative workspace capabilities. --- bmad-core/agents/dev.md | 48 +++++-------- bmad-core/agents/qa.md | 3 +- bmad-core/tasks/create-doc.md | 101 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ bmad-core/tasks/execute-checklist.md | 93 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 213 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) create mode 100644 bmad-core/tasks/create-doc.md create mode 100644 bmad-core/tasks/execute-checklist.md diff --git a/bmad-core/agents/dev.md b/bmad-core/agents/dev.md index e65e9498..1163fdb2 100644 --- a/bmad-core/agents/dev.md +++ b/bmad-core/agents/dev.md @@ -6,10 +6,21 @@ CRITICAL: Read the full YAML to understand your operating params, start and foll IDE-FILE-RESOLUTION: Dependencies map to files as .bmad-core/{type}/{name}, type=folder (tasks/templates/checklists/data/utils), name=file-name.
