# Changelog
## v6.9.0 - 2026-06-21
### ✨ Headline
**Reasoning skills get sharper and orchestration gets a memory.**
**bmad-forge-idea** is a new core skill that takes a half-formed idea and pressure-tests it one Socratic question at a time — with an adversarial attack mode and optional persona rooms — until the idea hardens, proves out, or dies cheaply.
**bmad-architecture** lands as a ground-up rewrite of the old multi-step create-architecture flow: a lean spine (`ARCHITECTURE-SPINE.md`) that is the source of truth, intent-based routing (Create/Update/Validate), a breadth-coverage rubric so no dimension is silently skipped, and an opt-in reviewer gate.
**party-mode** is reborn with creatable, savable custom parties, optional party memory, and many pacing and dynamics improvements.
**Under the hood:** a canonical shared **memlog** (`_bmad/scripts/memlog.py`) replaces per-skill decision logs and is now the standard working-memory primitive across the suite. The installer now checks for **uv** and reframes it as the standard way to run BMAD's Python scripts (`uv run`). Plus an **Astro 6** security upgrade clearing 8+ Dependabot advisories and two new platform targets.
### ⚠️ Upcoming Breaking Change (in v7) — standardizing on `uv`
The industry is converging on [**uv**](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for running Python, and BMAD is following. Today our skills use a **mix** of `uv run` and direct `python3` invocation. In the **v7 release, every skill that runs a Python script will standardize on `uv run`** instead of calling `python3` directly — `uv` provisions the interpreter and manages dependencies, so scripts run consistently regardless of what's on your PATH.
**What to do now:** install and set up `uv` ([docs](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)) — or just ask your AI agent to "install and set up uv for me." Starting this release the installer checks for it and points you to setup if it's missing. `uv` is **not yet required** but without it some skills may have degraded performance or a shim AGENTS.md (or similar) or rule will need to be added to your environment to tell the agent when it sees uv run to use python3 instead. The best course of action though at this time is to install uv. A missing `uv` still warns rather than blocks, but it will be the assumed default in v7. Custom skills and overrides that shell out to `python3` should plan to migrate to `uv run`.
### 🎁 Features
* **bmad-forge-idea — new core skill** (#2492). Domain-agnostic idea pressure-testing for the analysis phase: Socratic, one-question-at-a-time interrogation with an adversarial attack mode and optional persona rooms resolved from the installed roster. Hardens or kills an idea cheaply; emits memlog residue and an optional brief that feeds bmad-spec or bmad-quick-dev. Interactive only (menu code FI).
* **bmad-architecture — lean spine rewrite** (#2467, #2475). Replaces the fixed-step `bmad-create-architecture` (retained as a forwarding shim, removed in v7) with intent-based routing across five entry shapes (raw idea, large doc, codebase, feature slice, existing spine). The spine (`ARCHITECTURE-SPINE.md`) is the source of truth and SPEC.md is derived from it. Adds a breadth-coverage rubric (every altitude-owned dimension decided/deferred/open), an opt-in reviewer gate that scales lenses to rigor, and a full non-interactive headless mode. `lint_spine.py` hardened with fence-blanking, robust column detection, and 28 regression tests.
* **party-mode: configurable parties + persistent memory** (#2479, #2484). Custom personas (`party_members`) and named rooms (`party_groups`, with optional scenes), four run modes (auto/session/subagent/agent-team), and a preloaded "Code Review Crew" of five adversarial lenses. Each party keeps append-only session memory under `{memory_dir}/<party_id>/` so sessions resume with prior context; ad-hoc casts stay ephemeral.
* **bmad-brainstorming: facilitation modes + visual composer** (#2445). Three modes (Facilitator / Creative Partner / Ideate for me), append-only memlog with optional `--by` authorship attribution, and a self-contained `brain-selector.html` composer (technique strategy, category chips, filter, copy-to-clipboard, dark mode). Catalog grows to 108 techniques (8 new classics: HMW, JTBD, Empathy Map, Backcasting, TRIZ, Fishbone, Build on What Works, Scenario Cross) plus a convergence phase.
* **Canonical shared memlog script** (#2462). New `src/scripts/memlog.py` — append-only chronological working memory with init/append/set ops, no lifecycle-status design, Python 3.8+ support, 30 tests. Any skill can call it at runtime.
* **Retrospective action items tracked in sprint-status** (#2465). The retrospective step appends an `action_items` section to `sprint-status.yaml`; sprint-status validates and surfaces open items, and sprint-planning preserves them on regenerate.
* **Installer checks for `uv` and reframes it as the standard** (#2495). Replaces the old python3 probe with a `uv` check, adds a heads-up to the install intro and a tip to the "BMAD is ready" summary, and updates docs/script docstrings (en/fr/vi-vn) to frame `uv run` as the standard and `python3` as the transition fallback. Migration-friendly: a missing `uv` warns and points you to setup, never blocks. See the Upcoming Breaking Change note above.
* **New installer platform targets: hermes-agent and CodeWhale** (#2489, #2459). hermes-agent added as a tool target; CodeWhale uses `.codewhale/skills/` (project) and `~/.codewhale/skills/` (global), both with test coverage.
### 🐛 Fixes
* **Astro 6 security upgrade clears Dependabot alerts** (#2493). Astro 5.18.1 → 6.4.6 and Starlight 0.37.5 → 0.40.0 (8 XSS/SSRF advisories), esbuild pinned to 0.28.1 (Windows dev-server file read), markdown-it 14.2.0 (smartquotes ReDoS), brace-expansion 5.0.6 (range DoS). Docs content config migrated to `src/content.config.ts`; page output verified identical to baseline.
* **Guard WSL installs from Windows Node** (#2470). Detects and prevents a Windows `node.exe` being used inside WSL, where it would silently fail.
* **Remove empty skill-group dirs after install** (#2461). Prunes empty parent dirs (e.g. `_bmad/bmm/1-analysis`) left after skill cleanup, with a path-boundary check to avoid sibling-dir collisions.
* **bmad-create-epics-and-stories discovers bmad-ux spine outputs** (#2446). Prerequisites now recognize `DESIGN.md` / `EXPERIENCE.md` alongside the legacy `ux-spec.md`.
* **Pass diff inline to the blind-hunter reviewer** (#2463). Diff output is passed inline in the subagent prompt rather than via a file the reviewer can't read, preventing context-starved hallucination.
* **Website: nav height for dual announcement banners** (#2473). Fixes layout crowding when two banners show at once.
* **Workflow clarity & numbering** — clarify quick-dev subagent use across code-review/create-story/quick-dev (#2450), renumber retrospective steps (#2448).
