-**Workflow Complexity Guide:** - -- Simple: 3-5 steps, single output -- Standard: 5-10 steps, multiple outputs -- Complex: 10+ steps, conditional logic, sub-workflows - -### Tasks per Module - -Tasks should be used for: - -- Single-operation utilities -- Shared subroutines -- Quick actions that don't warrant workflows - -## Module Dependencies - -### Internal Dependencies - -- Agents can reference module workflows -- Workflows can invoke module tasks -- Tasks can use module templates - -### External Dependencies - -- Reference other modules via full paths -- Declare dependencies in config.yaml -- Version compatibility notes - -### Workflow Vendoring (Advanced) - -For modules that need workflows from other modules but want to remain standalone, use **workflow vendoring**: - -**In Agent YAML:** - -```yaml -menu: - - trigger: command-name - workflow: '{project-root}/bmad/SOURCE_MODULE/workflows/path/workflow.yaml' - workflow-install: '{project-root}/bmad/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/workflow.yaml' - description: 'Command description' -``` - -**What Happens:** - -- During installation, workflows are copied from `workflow` to `workflow-install` location -- Vendored workflows get `config_source` updated to reference this module's config -- Compiled agent only references the `workflow-install` path -- Module becomes fully standalone - no source module dependency required - -**Use Cases:** - -- Specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configs -- Domain-specific adaptations (e.g., game dev using standard dev workflows) -- Testing workflows in isolation - -**Benefits:** - -- Module independence (no forced dependencies) -- Clean namespace (workflows in your module) -- Config isolation (use your module's settings) -- Customization ready (modify vendored workflows freely) - -## Installation Infrastructure - -### Required: \_module-installer/install-config.yaml - -This file defines both installation questions AND static configuration values: - -```yaml -# Module metadata -code: module-code -name: 'Module Name' -default_selected: false - -# Welcome message during installation -prompt: - - 'Welcome to Module Name!' - - 'Brief description here' - -# Core values automatically inherited from installer: -## user_name -## communication_language -## document_output_language -## output_folder - -# INTERACTIVE fields (ask user during install) -output_location: - prompt: 'Where should module outputs be saved?' - default: 'output/module-code' - result: '{project-root}/{value}' - -feature_level: - prompt: 'Which feature set?' - default: 'standard' - result: '{value}' - single-select: - - value: 'basic' - label: 'Basic - Core features only' - - value: 'standard' - label: 'Standard - Recommended features' - - value: 'advanced' - label: 'Advanced - All features' - -# STATIC fields (no prompt, just hardcoded values) -module_version: - result: '1.0.0' - -data_path: - result: '{project-root}/bmad/module-code/data' -``` - -**Key Points:** - -- File is named `install-config.yaml` (NOT install-config.yaml) -- Supports both interactive prompts and static values -- `result` field uses placeholders: `{value}`, `{project-root}`, `{directory_name}` -- Installer generates final `config.yaml` from this template - -### Optional: \_module-installer/installer.js - -For complex installations requiring custom logic: - -```javascript -/** - * @param {Object} options - Installation options - * @param {string} options.projectRoot - Target project directory - * @param {Object} options.config - Config from install-config.yaml - * @param {Array} options.installedIDEs - IDEs being configured - * @param {Object} options.logger - Logger (log, warn, error) - * @returns {boolean} - true if successful - */ -async function install(options) { - // Custom installation logic here - // - Database setup - // - API configuration - // - External downloads - // - Integration setup - - return true; -} - -module.exports = { install }; -``` - -### Optional: \_module-installer/assets/ - -Files to copy during installation: - -- External configurations -- Documentation -- Example files -- Integration scripts - -## Module Lifecycle - -### Development Phases - -1. **Planning Phase** - - Define scope and purpose - - Identify components - - Design architecture - -2. **Scaffolding Phase** - - Create directory structure - - Generate configurations - - Setup installer - -3. **Building Phase** - - Create agents incrementally - - Build workflows progressively - - Add tasks as needed - -4. **Testing Phase** - - Test individual components - - Verify integration - - Validate installation - -5. **Deployment Phase** - - Package module - - Document usage - - Distribute/share - -## Best Practices - -### Module Cohesion - -- All components should relate to module theme -- Clear boundaries between modules -- No feature creep - -### Progressive Enhancement - -- Start with MVP (1 agent, 2 workflows) -- Add components based on usage -- Refactor as patterns emerge - -### Documentation Standards - -- Every module needs README.md -- Each agent needs purpose statement -- Workflows need clear descriptions -- Include examples and quickstart - -### Naming Consistency - -- Use module code prefix for uniqueness -- Consistent naming patterns within module -- Clear, descriptive names - -## Example Modules - -### Example 1: Personal Productivity -

ALWAYS include critical headers: - - Workflow engine reference: {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml - - workflow.yaml reference: must be loaded and processed - -2. Structure with tags containing all steps - -3. For each step from design phase, follow guide conventions: - - Step attributes: n="X" goal="clear goal statement" - - Optional steps: optional="true" - - Repeating: repeat="3" or repeat="for-each-X" or repeat="until-approved" - - Conditional: if="condition" - - Sub-steps: Use 3a, 3b notation - -4. Use proper XML tags from guide: - - Execution: , , , , - - Output: , {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml, , - - Flow: , , - -5. Best practices from guide: - - Keep steps focused (single goal) - - Be specific ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about") - - Provide examples where helpful - - Set limits ("3-5 items maximum") - - Save checkpoints with - -Standard config variable usage: - -Instructions MUST use the standard config variables where appropriate: - -- Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the workflow -- Address user as {user_name} in greetings and summaries -- Write all output files to {output_folder} or subdirectories -- Include {date} in generated document headers - -Example usage in instructions: - -```xml -Write document to {output_folder}/output-file.md -Communicate all responses in {communication_language} -Hello {user_name}, the workflow is complete! -``` - -Applying instruction style preference: - -Based on the {{instruction_style}} preference from Step 3, generate instructions using these patterns: - -**Intent-Based Instructions (Recommended for most workflows):** - -Focus on goals, principles, and desired outcomes. Let the LLM adapt the conversation naturally. - -✅ **Good Examples:** - -```xml - -Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics, psychographics, and behavioral characteristics -Explore the user's vision for the product, asking probing questions to uncover core motivations and success criteria -Help user identify and prioritize key features based on user value and technical feasibility - - -Validate that the technical approach aligns with project constraints and team capabilities -Challenge assumptions about user needs and market fit with thought-provoking questions - - -Collaborate with user to refine the architecture, iterating until they're satisfied with the design -``` - -❌ **Avoid (too prescriptive):** - -```xml -What is your target audience age range? Choose: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45+ -List exactly 3 key features in priority order -``` - -**When to use Intent-Based:** - -- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements gathering) -- Creative brainstorming and ideation -- Iterative refinement workflows -- When user input quality matters more than consistency -- Workflows requiring adaptation to context - -**Prescriptive Instructions (Use selectively):** - -Provide exact wording, specific options, and controlled interactions. - -✅ **Good Examples:** - -```xml - -What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web -Select monetization model: Premium, Free-to-Play, Subscription, Ad-Supported - - -Does this comply with GDPR requirements? [yes/no] -Choose documentation standard: JSDoc, TypeDoc, TSDoc - - -Do you want to generate test cases? [yes/no] -Include performance benchmarks? [yes/no] -``` - -❌ **Avoid (too rigid for complex tasks):** - -```xml -What are your product goals? List exactly 5 goals, each 10-15 words -Describe your user persona in exactly 3 sentences -``` - -**When to use Prescriptive:** - -- Simple data collection (platform, format, yes/no choices) -- Compliance verification and standards adherence -- Configuration with finite options -- When consistency is critical across all executions -- Quick setup wizards - -**Mixing Both Styles (Best Practice):** - -Even if user chose a primary style, use the other when appropriate: - -```xml - - - Explore the user's vision for their game, uncovering their creative intent and target experience - Ask probing questions about genre, themes, and emotional tone they want to convey - - - - What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web - Select primary genre: Action, RPG, Strategy, Puzzle, Simulation, Other - - - - Guide user to articulate their core gameplay loop, exploring mechanics and player agency - Help them identify what makes their game unique and compelling - -``` - -**Guidelines for the chosen style:** - -If user chose **Intent-Based**: - -- Default to goal-oriented tags -- Use open-ended guidance language -- Save prescriptive tags for simple data/choices -- Focus on "guide", "explore", "help user", "validate" -- Allow LLM to adapt questions to user responses - -If user chose **Prescriptive**: - -- Default to explicit tags with clear options -- Use precise wording for consistency -- Save intent-based tags for complex discovery -- Focus on "choose", "select", "specify", "confirm" -- Provide structured choices when possible - -**Remember:** The goal is optimal human-AI collaboration.

Intent-Based Instructions (RECOMMENDED) - -**What it is**: Guide the AI with goals, principles, and context - let it determine the best way to interact with each user. - -**Characteristics**: - -- Uses `` tags with guiding instructions -- Focuses on WHAT to accomplish and WHY it matters -- Lets AI adapt conversation to user needs -- More flexible and conversational -- Better for complex discovery and iterative refinement - -**When to use**: - -- Complex discovery processes (requirements gathering, architecture design) -- Creative brainstorming and ideation -- Iterative refinement workflows -- When user input quality matters more than consistency -- Workflows requiring adaptation to context -- Teaching/educational workflows -- When users have varying skill levels - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Engage in collaborative discovery to understand their target users: - - Ask open-ended questions to explore: - - Who will use this product? - - What problems do they face? - - What are their goals and motivations? - - How tech-savvy are they? - - Listen for clues about: - - Demographics and characteristics - - Pain points and needs - - Current solutions they use - - Unmet needs or frustrations - - Adapt your depth and terminology to the user's responses. - If they give brief answers, dig deeper with follow-ups. - If they're uncertain, help them think through it with examples. - - - target_audience - -``` - -**Intent-based workflow adapts**: - -- **Expert user** might get: "Tell me about your target users - demographics, pain points, and technical profile?" -- **Beginner user** might get: "Let's talk about who will use this. Imagine your ideal customer - what do they look like? What problem are they trying to solve?" - -##### 2. Prescriptive Instructions (Use Selectively) - -**What it is**: Provide exact wording for questions and specific options for answers. - -**Characteristics**: - -- Uses `` tags with exact question text -- Provides specific options or formats -- More controlled and predictable -- Ensures consistency across runs -- Better for simple data collection or compliance needs - -**When to use**: - -- Simple data collection (platform choice, format selection) -- Compliance verification and standards adherence -- Configuration with finite, well-defined options -- When consistency is critical across all executions -- Quick setup wizards -- Binary decisions (yes/no, enable/disable) -- When gathering specific required fields - -**Example**: - -```xml - - What is your target platform? - - 1. Web (browser-based application) - 2. Mobile (iOS/Android native apps) - 3. Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux applications) - 4. CLI (command-line tool) - 5. API (backend service) - - Enter the number (1-5): - - Store the platform choice as {{target_platform}} - target_platform - -``` - -**Prescriptive workflow stays consistent** - every user gets the same 5 options in the same format. - -#### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles - -**Even predominantly intent-based workflows should use prescriptive moments** for simple choices. Even prescriptive workflows can have intent-based discovery. - -**Example of effective mixing**: - -```xml - - - Explore the user's vision through open conversation: - - Help them articulate: - - The core problem they're solving - - Their unique approach or innovation - - The experience they want to create - - Adapt your questions based on their expertise and communication style. - If they're visionary, explore the "why". If they're technical, explore the "how". - - vision - - - - - What is your target platform?

Etc. - - ux_design - -``` - -#### Interactivity Levels - -Beyond style (intent vs prescriptive), consider **how interactive** your workflow should be: - -##### High Interactivity (Collaborative) - -- Constant back-and-forth with user -- Multiple asks per step -- Iterative refinement and review -- User guides the direction -- **Best for**: Creative work, complex decisions, learning - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Collaborate on feature definitions: - - For each feature the user proposes: - - Help them articulate it clearly - - Explore edge cases together - - Consider implications and dependencies - - Refine the description iteratively - - After each feature: "Want to refine this, add another, or move on?" - - -``` - -##### Medium Interactivity (Guided) - -- Key decision points have interaction -- AI proposes, user confirms or refines -- Validation checkpoints -- **Best for**: Most document workflows, structured processes - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Based on the PRD, identify 10-15 key architectural decisions needed - For each decision, research options and present recommendation - Approve this decision or propose alternative? - Record decision and rationale - -``` - -##### Low Interactivity (Autonomous) - -- Minimal user input required -- AI works independently with guidelines -- User reviews final output -- **Best for**: Automated generation, batch processing - -**Example**: - -```xml - - For each epic in the PRD, generate 3-7 user stories following this pattern: - - As a [user type] - - I want to [action] - - So that [benefit] - - Ensure stories are: - - Independently valuable - - Testable - - Sized appropriately (1-5 days of work) - - - user_stories - - - - Review the generated user stories. Want to refine any? (y/n) - - Regenerate with feedback - - -``` - -#### Decision Framework - -**Choose Intent-Based when**: - -- ✅ User knowledge/skill level varies -- ✅ Context matters (one-size-fits-all won't work) -- ✅ Discovery and exploration are important -- ✅ Quality of input matters more than consistency -- ✅ Teaching/education is part of the goal -- ✅ Iteration and refinement expected - -**Choose Prescriptive when**: - -- ✅ Options are finite and well-defined -- ✅ Consistency across users is critical -- ✅ Compliance or standards matter -- ✅ Simple data collection -- ✅ Users just need to make a choice and move on -- ✅ Speed matters more than depth - -**Choose High Interactivity when**: - -- ✅ User expertise is essential -- ✅ Creative collaboration needed -- ✅ Decisions have major implications -- ✅ Learning and understanding matter -- ✅ Iteration is expected - -**Choose Low Interactivity when**: - -- ✅ Process is well-defined and repeatable -- ✅ AI can work autonomously with clear guidelines -- ✅ User time is constrained -- ✅ Batch processing or automation desired -- ✅ Review-and-refine model works - -#### Implementation Guidelines - -**For Intent-Based Workflows**: - -1. **Use `` tags with guiding instructions** - -```xml -Facilitate discovery of {{topic}}: - -Ask open-ended questions to explore: -- {{aspect_1}} -- {{aspect_2}} - -Listen for clues about {{patterns_to_notice}}. - -Adapt your approach based on their {{context_factor}}. - -``` - -2. **Provide principles, not scripts** - -```xml - -Help user articulate their unique value proposition. -Focus on what makes them different, not just what they do. -If they struggle, offer examples from analogous domains. - - -What makes your product unique? Provide 2-3 bullet points. -``` - -3. **Guide with context and rationale** - -```xml -Now that we understand their {{context_from_previous}}, -explore how {{current_topic}} connects to their vision. - -This matters because {{reason_it_matters}}. - -If they seem uncertain about {{potential_challenge}}, help them think through {{approach}}. - -``` - -**For Prescriptive Workflows**: - -1. **Use `` tags with specific questions** - -```xml -Select your preferred database: -1.

Add input_file_patterns to workflow.yaml - -```yaml -# Smart input file references - handles both whole docs and sharded docs -# Priority: Whole document first, then sharded version -input_file_patterns: - prd: - whole: '{output_folder}/*prd*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*prd*/index.md' - - epics: - whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md' - sharded_index: '{output_folder}/*epic*/index.md' - sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md' # For selective load - - architecture: - whole: '{output_folder}/*architecture*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*architecture*/index.md' - - document_project: - sharded: '{output_folder}/docs/index.md' # Brownfield always uses index -``` - -#### 2. Add Discovery Instructions to instructions.md - -Place early in instructions (after critical declarations, before workflow steps): - -```markdown -## 📚 Document Discovery - -This workflow requires: [list required documents] - -**Discovery Process** (execute for each document): - -1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching -2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md` -3. **If sharded version found**: - - Read `index.md` to understand the document structure - - Read ALL section files listed in the index (or specific sections for selective load) - - Treat the combined content as if it were a single document -4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md` - -**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document. - -**Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations. -``` - -#### 3. Choose Loading Strategy - -**Full Load Strategy** (most workflows): - -```xml -Search for document using fuzzy pattern: {output_folder}/*prd*.md -If not found, check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*prd*/index.md -Read index.md to understand structure -Read ALL section files listed in index -Combine content as single document -``` - -**Selective Load Strategy** (advanced - for phase 4 type workflows): - -```xml -Determine section needed (e.g., epic_num from story key) -Check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*epics*/index.md -Read ONLY the specific section file: epics/epic-{{epic_num}}.md -Skip all other section files (efficiency optimization) -Load complete document and extract relevant section -``` - -### Pattern Examples - -**Example 1: Simple Full Load** - -```yaml -# workflow.yaml -input_file_patterns: - requirements: - whole: '{output_folder}/*requirements*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*requirements*/index.md' -``` - -```markdown - - -## Document Discovery - -Load requirements document (whole or sharded). - -1. Try whole: _requirements_.md -2. If not found, try sharded: _requirements_/index.md -3. If sharded: Read index + ALL section files -``` - -**Example 2: Selective Load with Epic Number** - -```yaml -# workflow.yaml -input_file_patterns: - epics: - whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md' - sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md' -``` - -```xml - - - Extract epic number from story key (e.g., "3-2-feature" → epic_num = 3) - Check for sharded epics: {output_folder}/*epic*/index.md - Load ONLY epics/epic-{{epic_num}}.md (selective optimization) - Load full epics.md and extract Epic {{epic_num}} - -``` - -### Testing Your Sharding Support - -1. **Test with whole document**: Verify workflow works with single `document.md` -2. **Test with sharded document**: Create sharded version and verify discovery -3. **Test with both present**: Ensure whole document takes priority -4. **Test selective loading**: Verify only needed sections are loaded (if applicable) - -### Complete Reference - -**[→ Document Sharding Guide](../../../../docs/document-sharding-guide.md)** - Comprehensive guide with examples - -**BMM Examples**: - -- Full Load: `src/modules/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/prd/` -- Selective Load: `src/modules/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/epic-tech-context/` - -## Web Bundles - -Web bundles allow workflows to be deployed as self-contained packages for web environments. - -### When to Use Web Bundles - -- Deploying workflows to web-based AI platforms -- Creating shareable workflow packages -- Ensuring workflow portability without dependencies -- Publishing workflows for public use - -### Web Bundle Requirements - -1. **Self-Contained**: No external dependencies -2. **No Config Variables**: Cannot use `{config_source}` references -3. **Complete File List**: Every referenced file must be listed -4. **Relative Paths**: Use `bmad/` root paths (no `{project-root}`) - -### Creating a Web Bundle - -Add this section to your workflow.yaml ensuring critically all dependant files or workflows are listed: - -```yaml -web_bundle: - name: 'workflow-name' - description: 'Workflow description' - author: 'Your Name' - - # Core files (bmad/-relative paths) - instructions: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md' - validation: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md' - template: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/template.md' -

-Interactive workflow for editing existing BMAD modules, including structure, agents, workflows, configuration, and documentation. - -## Purpose - -This workflow helps you improve and maintain BMAD modules by: - -- Analyzing module structure against best practices -- Managing agents and workflows within the module -- Updating configuration and documentation -- Ensuring cross-module integration works correctly -- Maintaining installer configuration (for source modules) - -## When to Use - -Use this workflow when you need to: - -- Add new agents or workflows to a module -- Update module configuration -- Improve module documentation -- Reorganize module structure -- Set up cross-module workflow sharing -- Fix issues in module organization -- Update installer configuration - -## What You'll Need - -- Path to the module directory you want to edit -- Understanding of what changes you want to make -- Access to module documentation (loaded automatically) - -## Workflow Steps - -1. **Load and analyze target module** - Provide path to module directory -2. **Analyze against best practices** - Automatic audit of module structure -3. **Select editing focus** - Choose what aspect to edit -4. **Load relevant documentation and tools** - Auto-loads guides and workflows -5. **Perform edits** - Review and approve changes iteratively -6. **Validate all changes** - Comprehensive validation checklist -7. **Generate change summary** - Summary of improvements made - -## Editing Options - -The workflow provides 12 focused editing options: - -1. **Fix critical issues** - Address missing files, broken references -2. **Update module config** - Edit config.yaml fields -3. **Manage agents** - Add, edit, or remove agents -4. **Manage workflows** - Add, edit, or remove workflows -5. **Update documentation** - Improve README files and guides -6. **Reorganize structure** - Fix directory organization -7. **Add new agent** - Create and integrate new agent -8. **Add new workflow** - Create and integrate new workflow -9. **Update installer** - Modify installer configuration (source only) -10. **Cross-module integration** - Set up workflow sharing with other modules -11. **Remove deprecated items** - Delete unused agents, workflows, or files -12. **Full module review** - Comprehensive analysis and improvements - -## Integration with Other Workflows - -This workflow integrates with: - -- **edit-agent** - For editing individual agents -- **edit-workflow** - For editing individual workflows -- **create-agent** - For adding new agents -- **create-workflow** - For adding new workflows - -When you select options to manage agents or workflows, the appropriate specialized workflow is invoked automatically. - -## Module Structure - -A proper BMAD module has: - -``` -module-code/ -├── agents/ # Agent definitions -│ └── *.agent.yaml -├── workflows/ # Workflow definitions -│ └── workflow-name/ -│ ├── workflow.yaml -│ ├── instructions.md -│ ├── checklist.md -│ └── README.md -├── config.yaml # Module configuration -└── README.md # Module documentation -``` - -## Standard Module Config - -Every module config.yaml should have: - -```yaml -module_name: 'Full Module Name' -module_code: 'xyz' -user_name: 'User Name' -communication_language: 'english' -output_folder: 'path/to/output' -``` - -Optional fields may be added for module-specific needs. - -## Cross-Module Integration - -Modules can share workflows: - -```yaml -# In agent menu item: -workflow: '{project-root}/bmad/other-module/workflows/shared-workflow/workflow.yaml' -``` - -Common patterns: - -- BMM uses CIS brainstorming workflows -- All modules can use core workflows -- Modules can invoke each other's workflows - -## Output - -The workflow modifies module files in place, including: - -- config.yaml -- Agent files -- Workflow files -- README and documentation files -- Directory structure (if reorganizing) - -Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied. - -## Best Practices - -- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your module first -- **Use specialized workflows** - Let edit-agent and edit-workflow handle detailed edits -- **Update documentation** - Keep README files current with changes -- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch structural issues -- **Test after editing** - Invoke agents and workflows to verify they work - -## Tips - -- For adding agents/workflows, use options 7-8 to create and integrate in one step -- For quick config changes, use option 2 (update module config) -- Cross-module integration (option 10) helps set up workflow sharing -- Full module review (option 12) is great for inherited or legacy modules -- The workflow handles path updates when you reorganize structure - -## Source vs Installed Modules - -**Source modules** (in src/modules/): - -- Have installer files in tools/cli/installers/ -- Can configure web bundles -- Are the development source of truth - -**Installed modules** (in bmad/): - -- Are deployed to target projects -- Use config.yaml for user customization -- Are compiled from source during installation - -This workflow works with both, but installer options only apply to source modules. - -## Example Usage - -``` -User: I want to add a new workflow to BMM for API design -Workflow: Analyzes BMM → You choose option 8 (add new workflow) - → Invokes create-workflow → Creates workflow - → Integrates it into module → Updates README → Done -``` - -## Activation - -Invoke via BMad Builder agent: - -``` -/bmad:bmb:agents:bmad-builder -Then select: *edit-module -``` - -Or directly via workflow.xml with this workflow config. - -## Related Resources -

This tool is critical for the future of BMAD as an extensible framework where module authors can create and distribute modules independently of the core BMAD repository. - -### The Vision - -- **Core as npm package**: Future state where `@bmad/core` is an npm package with CLI tools -- **Custom modules**: Module authors use BMad Builder (BMB) to create standalone modules -- **Universal installer**: A CLI tool that can install any valid BMAD module from any path -- **IDE integration**: Compiled agents work with 14+ IDE environments (Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) - ---- - -## Problem Statement - -### Current Limitations - -The existing `bmad install` command (tools/cli/commands/install.js) is hardcoded to: - -- Discover modules ONLY from `src/modules/` directory -- Install bundled modules (BMM, BMB, CIS) that ship with the framework -- Cannot handle external/custom modules from arbitrary filesystem locations - -**Code Reference**: `tools/cli/installers/lib/modules/manager.js:27` - -```javascript -this.modulesSourcePath = getSourcePath('modules'); // Hardcoded to src/modules/ -``` - -### Real-World Use Case - -- User has a custom foo module at `/Users/username/dev/foo` (standalone folder) -- Module has agents that need compilation (YAML → Markdown with XML) -- Module needs IDE integration (generate commands for Claude Code, etc.) -- Current installer cannot handle this - module must be in `src/modules/foo` to be discovered - ---- - -## Critical Architectural Understanding - -### Module Structure (SOURCE - What Authors Create) - -**CORRECT STRUCTURE:** - -``` -my-custom-module/ -├── agents/ -│ └── my-agent.agent.yaml ← Required: At least one agent -├── workflows/ ← Optional: Workflow definitions -│ └── my-workflow/ -│ ├── README.md -│ └── workflow.yaml -└── _module-installer/ ← Required: Installation configuration - ├── install-config.yaml ← REQUIRED: Defines config questions - └── installer.js ← OPTIONAL: Custom install hooks -``` - -**CRITICAL: NO config.yaml in source!** - -- The `config.yaml` is GENERATED at install time from user answers -- Source modules use `_module-installer/install-config.yaml` to define questions -- The legacy pattern of having `config.yaml` in source is being deprecated - -### Module Structure (INSTALLED - What Gets Generated) - -``` -{target-project}/bmad/my-custom-module/ -├── agents/ -│ └── my-agent.md ← Compiled from .agent.yaml -├── workflows/ -│ └── my-workflow/ -└── config.yaml ← GENERATED from user answers during install -``` - -**Key Points:** - -- `_module-installer/` directory is NOT copied to target (only used during install) -- Agents are compiled from YAML to Markdown with XML -- `config.yaml` is generated fresh for each installation - -### Example: install-config.yaml - -**Reference**: `/src/modules/bmm/_module-installer/install-config.yaml` - -```yaml -# Module metadata -code: bmm -name: 'BMM: BMad Method Agile-AI Driven-Development' -default_selected: true - -# Optional welcome message -prompt: - - 'Thank you for choosing the BMAD™ Method...' - - 'All paths are relative to project root, with no leading slash.' - -# Configuration questions -project_name: - prompt: 'What is the title of your project?' - default: '{directory_name}' - result: '{value}' - -user_skill_level: - prompt: - - 'What is your technical experience level?' - default: 'intermediate' - result: '{value}' - single-select: - - value: 'beginner' - label: 'Beginner - New to development' - - value: 'intermediate' - label: 'Intermediate - Familiar with development' - - value: 'expert' - label: 'Expert - Deep technical knowledge' - -tech_docs: - prompt: 'Where is Technical Documentation located?' - default: 'docs' - result: '{project-root}/{value}' -``` - -**How ConfigCollector Uses This:** - -1. Reads `install-config.yaml` from source module -2. Builds interactive prompts for each config item -3. Collects user answers -4. Processes answers with variable substitution (`{value}`, `{project-root}`, etc.) -5. Generates `config.yaml` in installed module location - -**Code Reference**: `tools/cli/installers/lib/core/config-collector.js:108-122` - ---- - -## Current CLI Architecture - -### Installation Flow (Existing System) - -``` -User runs: npm run install:bmad - -1.

Level 1 = coherent feature, 1-10 stories (prefer 2-3), 1 epic - This workflow runs AFTER tech-spec.md has been completed - Story format MUST match create-story template for compatibility with story-context and dev-story workflows - - - - Read the completed tech-spec.md file from {output_folder}/tech-spec.md - Load bmm-workflow-status.yaml from {output_folder}/bmm-workflow-status.yaml (if exists) - Extract dev_story_location from config (where stories are stored) - - Extract from the ENHANCED tech-spec structure: - - - Overall feature goal from "The Change → Problem Statement" and "Proposed Solution" - - Implementation tasks from "Implementation Guide → Implementation Steps" - - Time estimates from "Implementation Guide → Implementation Steps" - - Dependencies from "Implementation Details → Integration Points" and "Development Context → Dependencies" - - Source tree from "Implementation Details → Source Tree Changes" - - Framework dependencies from "Development Context → Framework/Libraries" - - Existing code references from "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code" - - File paths from "Developer Resources → File Paths Reference" - - Key code locations from "Developer Resources → Key Code Locations" - - Testing locations from "Developer Resources → Testing Locations" - - Acceptance criteria from "Implementation Guide → Acceptance Criteria" - - - - - - - Create 1 epic that represents the entire feature - Epic title should be user-facing value statement - Epic goal should describe why this matters to users - - - **Epic Best Practices:** - - Title format: User-focused outcome (not implementation detail) - - Good: "JS Library Icon Reliability" - - Bad: "Update recommendedLibraries.ts file" - - Scope: Clearly define what's included/excluded - - Success criteria: Measurable outcomes that define "done" - - - - **Epic:** JS Library Icon Reliability - - **Goal:** Eliminate external dependencies for JS library icons to ensure consistent, reliable display and improve application performance. - - **Scope:** Migrate all 14 recommended JS library icons from third-party CDN URLs (GitHub, jsDelivr) to internal static asset hosting. - - **Success Criteria:** - - - All library icons load from internal paths - - Zero external requests for library icons - - Icons load 50-200ms faster than baseline - - No broken icons in production - - - Derive epic slug from epic title (kebab-case, 2-3 words max) - - - - "JS Library Icon Reliability" → "icon-reliability" - - "OAuth Integration" → "oauth-integration" - - "Admin Dashboard" → "admin-dashboard" - - - Initialize epics.md summary document using epics_template - - Also capture project_level for the epic template - - project_level - epic_title - epic_slug - epic_goal - epic_scope - epic_success_criteria - epic_dependencies - - - - - - Level 1 should have 2-3 stories maximum - prefer longer stories over more stories - - Analyze tech spec implementation tasks and time estimates - Group related tasks into logical story boundaries - - - **Story Count Decision Matrix:** - - **2 Stories (preferred for most Level 1):** - - - Use when: Feature has clear build/verify split - - Example: Story 1 = Build feature, Story 2 = Test and deploy - - Typical points: 3-5 points per story - - **3 Stories (only if necessary):** - - - Use when: Feature has distinct setup, build, verify phases - - Example: Story 1 = Setup, Story 2 = Core implementation, Story 3 = Integration and testing - - Typical points: 2-3 points per story - - **Never exceed 3 stories for Level 1:** - - - If more needed, consider if project should be Level 2 - - Better to have longer stories (5 points) than more stories (5x 1-point stories) - - - Determine story_count = 2 or 3 based on tech spec complexity - - - - - - For each story (2-3 total), generate separate story file - Story filename format: "story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" where n = 1, 2, or 3 - - - **Story Generation Guidelines:** - - Each story = multiple implementation tasks from tech spec - - Story title format: User-focused deliverable (not implementation steps) - - Include technical acceptance criteria from tech spec tasks - - Link back to tech spec sections for implementation details - - **CRITICAL: Acceptance Criteria Must Be:** - - 1. **Numbered** - AC #1, AC #2, AC #3, etc. - 2. **Specific** - No vague statements like "works well" or "is fast" - 3. **Testable** - Can be verified objectively - 4. **Complete** - Covers all success conditions - 5. **Independent** - Each AC tests one thing - 6. **Format**: Use Given/When/Then when applicable - - **Good AC Examples:** - ✅ AC #1: Given a valid email address, when user submits the form, then the account is created and user receives a confirmation email within 30 seconds - ✅ AC #2: Given an invalid email format, when user submits, then form displays "Invalid email format" error message - ✅ AC #3: All unit tests in UserService.test.ts pass with 100% coverage - - **Bad AC Examples:** - ❌ "User can create account" (too vague) - ❌ "System performs well" (not measurable) - ❌ "Works correctly" (not specific) - - **Story Point Estimation:** - - - 1 point = < 1 day (2-4 hours) - - 2 points = 1-2 days - - 3 points = 2-3 days - - 5 points = 3-5 days - - **Level 1 Typical Totals:** - - - Total story points: 5-10 points - - 2 stories: 3-5 points each - - 3 stories: 2-3 points each - - If total > 15 points, consider if this should be Level 2 - - **Story Structure (MUST match create-story format):** - - - Status: Draft - - Story: As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit] - - Acceptance Criteria: Numbered list from tech spec - - Tasks / Subtasks: Checkboxes mapped to tech spec tasks (AC: #n references) - - Dev Notes: Technical summary, project structure notes, references - - Dev Agent Record: Empty sections (tech-spec provides context) - - **NEW: Comprehensive Context Fields** - - Since tech-spec is context-rich, populate ALL template fields: - - - dependencies: Extract from tech-spec "Development Context → Dependencies" and "Integration Points" - - existing_code_references: Extract from "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code" and "Developer Resources → Key Code Locations" - - - - Set story_path_{n} = "{dev_story_location}/story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" - Create story file from user_story_template with the following content: - - - - story_title: User-focused deliverable title - - role: User role (e.g., developer, user, admin) - - capability: What they want to do - - benefit: Why it matters - - acceptance_criteria: Specific, measurable criteria from tech spec - - tasks_subtasks: Implementation tasks with AC references - - technical_summary: High-level approach, key decisions - - files_to_modify: List of files that will change (from tech-spec "Developer Resources → File Paths Reference") - - test_locations: Where tests will be added (from tech-spec "Developer Resources → Testing Locations") - - story_points: Estimated effort (1/2/3/5) - - time_estimate: Days/hours estimate - - dependencies: Internal/external dependencies (from tech-spec "Development Context" and "Integration Points") - - existing_code_references: Code to reference (from tech-spec "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code" and "Key Code Locations") - - architecture_references: Links to tech-spec.md sections - - - - Generate exactly {story_count} story files (2 or 3 based on Step 3 decision) - - - - - - Stories MUST be ordered so earlier stories don't depend on later ones - Each story must have CLEAR, TESTABLE acceptance criteria - - Analyze dependencies between stories: - - **Dependency Rules:** - - 1.

- - - - - - Create 1 epic that represents the entire feature - Epic title should be user-facing value statement - Epic goal should describe why this matters to users - - - **Epic Best Practices:** - - Title format: User-focused outcome (not implementation detail) - - Good: "JS Library Icon Reliability" - - Bad: "Update recommendedLibraries.ts file" - - Scope: Clearly define what's included/excluded - - Success criteria: Measurable outcomes that define "done" - - - - **Epic:** JS Library Icon Reliability - - **Goal:** Eliminate external dependencies for JS library icons to ensure consistent, reliable display and improve application performance. - - **Scope:** Migrate all 14 recommended JS library icons from third-party CDN URLs (GitHub, jsDelivr) to internal static asset hosting. - - **Success Criteria:** - - - All library icons load from internal paths - - Zero external requests for library icons - - Icons load 50-200ms faster than baseline - - No broken icons in production - - - Derive epic slug from epic title (kebab-case, 2-3 words max) - - - - "JS Library Icon Reliability" → "icon-reliability" - - "OAuth Integration" → "oauth-integration" - - "Admin Dashboard" → "admin-dashboard" -

epic_dependencies - - - - - - Level 1 should have 2-3 stories maximum - prefer longer stories over more stories - - Analyze tech spec implementation tasks and time estimates - Group related tasks into logical story boundaries - - - **Story Count Decision Matrix:** - - **2 Stories (preferred for most Level 1):** - - - Use when: Feature has clear build/verify split - - Example: Story 1 = Build feature, Story 2 = Test and deploy - - Typical points: 3-5 points per story - - **3 Stories (only if necessary):** - - - Use when: Feature has distinct setup, build, verify phases - - Example: Story 1 = Setup, Story 2 = Core implementation, Story 3 = Integration and testing - - Typical points: 2-3 points per story - - **Never exceed 3 stories for Level 1:** - - - If more needed, consider if project should be Level 2 - - Better to have longer stories (5 points) than more stories (5x 1-point stories) - - - Determine story_count = 2 or 3 based on tech spec complexity - - - - - - For each story (2-3 total), generate separate story file - Story filename format: "story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" where n = 1, 2, or 3 - - - **Story Generation Guidelines:** - - Each story = multiple implementation tasks from tech spec - - Story title format: User-focused deliverable (not implementation steps) - - Include technical acceptance criteria from tech spec tasks - - Link back to tech spec sections for implementation details - - **CRITICAL: Acceptance Criteria Must Be:** - - 1. **Numbered** - AC #1, AC #2, AC #3, etc. - 2. **Specific** - No vague statements like "works well" or "is fast" - 3. **Testable** - Can be verified objectively - 4. **Complete** - Covers all success conditions - 5. **Independent** - Each AC tests one thing - 6. **Format**: Use Given/When/Then when applicable - - **Good AC Examples:** - ✅ AC #1: Given a valid email address, when user submits the form, then the account is created and user receives a confirmation email within 30 seconds - ✅ AC #2: Given an invalid email format, when user submits, then form displays "Invalid email format" error message - ✅ AC #3: All unit tests in UserService.test.ts pass with 100% coverage - - **Bad AC Examples:** - ❌ "User can create account" (too vague) - ❌ "System performs well" (not measurable) - ❌ "Works correctly" (not specific) - - **Story Point Estimation:** - - - 1 point = < 1 day (2-4 hours) - - 2 points = 1-2 days - - 3 points = 2-3 days - - 5 points = 3-5 days - - **Level 1 Typical Totals:** - - - Total story points: 5-10 points - - 2 stories: 3-5 points each - - 3 stories: 2-3 points each - - If total > 15 points, consider if this should be Level 2 - - **Story Structure (MUST match create-story format):** - - - Status: Draft - - Story: As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit] - - Acceptance Criteria: Numbered list from tech spec - - Tasks / Subtasks: Checkboxes mapped to tech spec tasks (AC: #n references) - - Dev Notes: Technical summary, project structure notes, references - - Dev Agent Record: Empty sections (tech-spec provides context) - - **NEW: Comprehensive Context Fields** - - Since tech-spec is context-rich, populate ALL template fields: - - - dependencies: Extract from tech-spec "Development Context → Dependencies" and "Integration Points" - - existing_code_references: Extract from "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code" and "Developer Resources → Key Code Locations" - - - - Set story_path_{n} = "{dev_story_location}/story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" -

- benefit: Why it matters - - acceptance_criteria: Specific, measurable criteria from tech spec - - tasks_subtasks: Implementation tasks with AC references - - technical_summary: High-level approach, key decisions - - files_to_modify: List of files that will change (from tech-spec "Developer Resources → File Paths Reference") - - test_locations: Where tests will be added (from tech-spec "Developer Resources → Testing Locations") - - story_points: Estimated effort (1/2/3/5) - - time_estimate: Days/hours estimate - - dependencies: Internal/external dependencies (from tech-spec "Development Context" and "Integration Points") - - existing_code_references: Code to reference (from tech-spec "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code" and "Key Code Locations") - - architecture_references: Links to tech-spec.md sections - - - - Generate exactly {story_count} story files (2 or 3 based on Step 3 decision) - - - - - - Stories MUST be ordered so earlier stories don't depend on later ones -
