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; 13.4% of community skills have critical vulnerabilities (Snyk 2026); quality gate value increases as ecosystem gets noisier -- Domain-agnostic: no competitor builds beyond software dev workflows; same plugin system powers any domain via BMAD Builder (separate initiative) - -## Users (ordered by v1 priority) -- Module authors (primary v1): package/test/distribute plugins independently without installer changes -- Developers: single-command install on any of 40+ platforms via NPX -- Non-technical users: install without Node/Git/terminal; emerging segment including PMs, designers, educators -- Future plugin creators: non-dev authors using BMAD Builder; need distribution without building own installer - -## Success Criteria -- Zero (or near-zero) custom platform directory code; delegated to skills CLI ecosystem -- Installation verified on top platforms by volume; skills CLI handles long tail -- Non-technical install path validated with non-developer users -- bmad-setup discovers/registers all plugins from manifests;

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.

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.
