docs(bmvcs): add KB Mode research, path fix plan, and TODO to module docs
RESEARCH FINDINGS:
- KB Mode exists in BMAD v6 (interactive agent guide from v4)
- Command: *kb-mode provides guided exploration
- 8 topic areas including "Agents" discovery
- Can be extended with BMVCS awareness
KEY DISCOVERY:
- Don't create new agent discovery mechanism
- Extend existing KB Mode with VCS-aware agent info
- Add to .bmad-core/data/bmad-kb.md
- Leverage official pattern for user guidance
PATH FIX PLAN:
- Issue: BMM agents look for bmad-core/vcs-config.yaml
- Should be: .bmad/vcs-config.yaml
- Affects: 3 agents (Architect, PM, Dev)
- Ready for execution in Session 4
FILES ADDED:
src/modules/bmvcs/docs/
├── KB_MODE_RESEARCH_FINDINGS.md (10k)
│ - Full KB Mode analysis
│ - Integration opportunities
│ - Phase 3 strategy
├── BMM_AGENTS_VCS_CONFIG_PATH_FIX.md (12k)
│ - 5-phase execution plan
│ - 15-25 min estimated time
│ - Fixes 3 agent files
└── TODO.md
- Phase 3 tasks (Documentation & Quality)
- Path fix checklist
- Future enhancements
- Documentation standards tasks
IMPLICATIONS:
- Phase 3.1 can start NOW (planning, no path fix needed)
- Path fix required before implementation/testing (Session 4)
- All BMVCS documentation now in module docs/
NEXT STEPS:
1. Design BMVCS KB Mode additions (Session 3 continues)
2. Execute path fix (Session 4)
3. Implement Phase 3.1 documentation (Session 5+)
Context: Alpha testing complete, Phase 3 planning started
Research validates "fail to plan - plan to fail" principle

# BMAD-METHOD Path Fix Plan
|
||||
|
||||
**Created:** 2025-10-01 17:45:00 EEST
|
||||
**Repository:** ~/github/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
**Branch:** feat/bmvcs-dev
|
||||
**Issue:** Path inconsistency in BMM agents VCS integration
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** BMM agents look for VCS config at wrong path
|
||||
|
||||
- **Expected (BMVCS):** `.bmad/vcs-config.yaml`
|
||||
- **Actual (Agents):** `bmad-core/vcs-config.yaml`
|
||||
- **Impact:** VCS integration doesn't work without manual workaround
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Update 3 agent source files to use correct path
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated Time:** 15 minutes
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Execution Plan
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Pre-Fix Verification (5 min)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1.1: Clean Working Directory
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/github/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
git status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision Point:**
|
||||
|
||||
- If only `package-lock.json` modified → commit or stash
|
||||
- If other changes → review and decide
|
||||
|
||||
**Action:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Option A: Commit package-lock.json
|
||||
git add package-lock.json
|
||||
git commit -m "chore: update package-lock.json"
|
||||
|
||||
# Option B: Stash
|
||||
git stash push -m "WIP: package-lock.json before path fix"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1.2: Verify Current Branch
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git branch --show-current
|
||||
# Expected: feat/bmvcs-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1.3: Backup Current State
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git log -1 --oneline > /tmp/bmad-before-fix.txt
|
||||
git diff HEAD -- src/modules/bmm/agents/ > /tmp/bmad-agents-before.diff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Apply Fix (5 min)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2.1: Update architect.md
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/github/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.md`
|
||||
**Line:** 68
|
||||
|
||||
**Change:**
|
||||
|
||||
```diff
|
||||
- <i>Check if VCS configuration exists in bmad-core/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
+ <i>Check if VCS configuration exists in .bmad/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Full context (lines 68-72):**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<i>Check if VCS configuration exists in .bmad/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
→ GitHub Flow: lightweight docs focusing on individual PRs
|
||||
→ GitFlow: version-oriented documentation with release cycles
|
||||
→ Trunk-Based: flag-gated incremental documentation
|
||||
→ No VCS: comprehensive monolithic documentation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2.2: Update pm.md
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.md`
|
||||
**Line:** 68
|
||||
|
||||
**Change:**
|
||||
|
||||
```diff
|
||||
- <i>Check if VCS configuration exists in bmad-core/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
+ <i>Check if VCS configuration exists in .bmad/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Full context (lines 68-72):**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<i>Check if VCS configuration exists in .bmad/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
→ GitHub Flow: feature-scoped PRDs with 1-3 day stories
|
||||
→ GitFlow: release-scoped PRDs with 3-5 day stories and versioning
|
||||
→ Trunk-Based: flag-gated increments with <1 day stories
|
||||
→ No VCS: comprehensive upfront requirements
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2.3: Update dev.md
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.md`
|
||||
**Line:** 73
|
||||
|
||||
**Change:**
|
||||
|
||||
```diff
|
||||
- <i>Check if VCS configuration exists in bmad-core/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
+ <i>Check if VCS configuration exists in .bmad/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Full context (lines 73-77):**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<i>Check if VCS configuration exists in .bmad/vcs-config.yaml
|
||||
→ GitHub Flow: atomic commits with conventional commit style
|
||||
→ GitFlow: descriptive commits with branch prefixes
|
||||
→ Trunk-Based: feature-flag wrapped changes with frequent commits
|
||||
→ No VCS: complete packaged code delivery
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Verification (3 min)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3.1: Verify Changes
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/github/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
git diff src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.md
|
||||
git diff src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.md
|
||||
git diff src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected output for each file:**
|
||||
|
||||
- One line changed: `bmad-core/vcs-config.yaml` → `.bmad/vcs-config.yaml`
|
||||
- Context preserved
|
||||
- No other changes
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3.2: Check Line Numbers
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -n "\.bmad/vcs-config\.yaml" src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.md
|
||||
grep -n "\.bmad/vcs-config\.yaml" src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.md
|
||||
grep -n "\.bmad/vcs-config\.yaml" src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected:**
|
||||
|
||||
- architect.md:68
|
||||
- pm.md:68
|
||||
- dev.md:73
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3.3: Verify No Other Files Affected
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected:** Only 3 files modified:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.md`
|
||||
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.md`
|
||||
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.md`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Commit & Push (2 min)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 4.1: Stage Changes
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/github/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
git add src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.md
|
||||
git add src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.md
|
||||
git add src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 4.2: Commit
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
|
||||
fix(bmm): correct VCS config path in Architect/PM/Dev agents
|
||||
|
||||
ISSUE: Path Inconsistency
|
||||
BMM agents were looking for VCS config at wrong path:
|
||||
- Old: bmad-core/vcs-config.yaml (incorrect)
|
||||
- New: .bmad/vcs-config.yaml (correct per BMVCS spec)
|
||||
|
||||
IMPACT:
|
||||
VCS integration failed without manual workaround (copy config to both locations)
|
||||
|
||||
FIX:
|
||||
Updated 3 agent files to use correct path:
|
||||
- src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.md (line 68)
|
||||
- src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.md (line 68)
|
||||
- src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.md (line 73)
|
||||
|
||||
TESTING:
|
||||
Discovered during BMVCS Alpha Phase 2 testing (sections 2.6-2.7)
|
||||
- Test repo: ~/test-bmvcs-install
|
||||
- Test results: testing/12-ALPHA-ARCHITECT-INTEGRATION-SECTION-2-6.md
|
||||
- Workaround documented, now properly fixed in source
|
||||
|
||||
AFFECTED AGENTS:
|
||||
✅ Architect - VCS-aware documentation generation
|
||||
✅ PM - VCS-aware requirements planning
|
||||
✅ Dev - VCS-aware implementation guidance
|
||||
❌ SM - No VCS integration (by design)
|
||||
❌ TEA - No VCS integration (by design)
|
||||
|
||||
This fix enables seamless VCS integration without manual intervention.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Testing: Alpha Phase 2 complete (2025-10-01)
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 4.3: Push to Origin
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git push origin feat/bmvcs-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** Updates existing branch on `oblik-io/BMAD-METHOD`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Test in test-bmvcs-install (Optional, 10 min)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Verify fix works in test environment
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 5.1: Reinstall BMAD-METHOD in Test Repo
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/test-bmvcs-install
|
||||
|
||||
# Option A: Full reinstall
|
||||
# rm -rf .claude/commands/bmad
|
||||
# cd ~/github/BMAD-METHOD && npm run install
|
||||
|
||||
# Option B: Copy only updated agents
|
||||
cp ~/github/BMAD-METHOD/src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.md .claude/commands/bmad/bmm/agents/
|
||||
cp ~/github/BMAD-METHOD/src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.md .claude/commands/bmad/bmm/agents/
|
||||
cp ~/github/BMAD-METHOD/src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.md .claude/commands/bmad/bmm/agents/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 5.2: Remove Workaround
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/test-bmvcs-install
|
||||
rm -rf bmad-core/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 5.3: Test Integration
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create simple test document
|
||||
cat > test-fix.md <<'EOF'
|
||||
# Test Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Simple test to verify VCS integration.
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
|
||||
# Test with Architect agent (in new Claude Code session)
|
||||
# Command: /bmad:bmm:agents:architect
|
||||
# Request: "Adapt this document for our VCS workflow"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Result:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Agent reads `.bmad/vcs-config.yaml` ✅
|
||||
- No error about missing config ✅
|
||||
- Document adapted per workflow ✅
|
||||
- No manual workaround needed ✅
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Fix Actions
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate (After Phase 4)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Update PR Description** (if PR exists to joyshmitz/BMAD-METHOD)
|
||||
- Add note about path fix
|
||||
- Reference Alpha testing results
|
||||
- Link to fix commit
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Consider Creating PR to oblik-io/BMAD-METHOD**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/github/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
gh pr create --base main --head feat/bmvcs-dev \
|
||||
--title "feat(bmvcs): VCS Adapter with path fix" \
|
||||
--body "Includes path inconsistency fix discovered in Alpha testing"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Follow-up (Next Session)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Document Fix in Test Results**
|
||||
- Update `~/test-bmvcs-install/SESSION_END_PHASE_2_COMPLETE_2025-10-01.md`
|
||||
- Add "Fixed in source" status
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Clean Up Test Workaround**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/test-bmvcs-install
|
||||
rm -rf bmad-core/
|
||||
git add bmad-core/
|
||||
git commit -m "chore: remove VCS config workaround after upstream fix"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Update TESTING_STATUS.md**
|
||||
- Mark path issue as "✅ FIXED in source"
|
||||
- Update status from "⚠️ Workaround" to "✅ Resolved"
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Risk Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
### Low Risk ✅
|
||||
|
||||
- **Change scope:** Only 3 files, 1 line each
|
||||
- **Change type:** String literal (path)
|
||||
- **Testing:** Extensively tested in Alpha Phase 2
|
||||
- **Rollback:** Simple git revert if needed
|
||||
|
||||
### Medium Risk ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
- **Integration:** Requires BMVCS to be present
|
||||
- **Backwards compat:** Old installations will break (acceptable - alpha)
|
||||
|
||||
### High Risk ❌
|
||||
|
||||
- None identified
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Rollback Plan
|
||||
|
||||
If fix causes issues:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/github/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
git revert HEAD
|
||||
git push origin feat/bmvcs-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or targeted rollback:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout HEAD~1 -- src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.md
|
||||
git checkout HEAD~1 -- src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.md
|
||||
git checkout HEAD~1 -- src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.md
|
||||
git commit -m "revert: rollback VCS config path change"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Criteria

|
||||
✅ **Phase 3:** Changes verified, no unintended modifications
|
||||
✅ **Phase 4:** Committed and pushed to origin
|
||||
✅ **Phase 5:** (Optional) Tested in test-bmvcs-install
|
||||
|
||||

# KB Mode Research Findings
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2025-10-01 18:25:00 EEST
|
||||
**Research Goal:** Find interactive "how to use agents" mechanism from BMAD v4
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ FOUND - KB Mode exists in both main and feat/bmvcs-dev
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**USER WAS RIGHT! ✅**
|
||||
|
||||
BMAD-METHOD has a **KB Mode** (Knowledge Base Mode) that provides:
|
||||
|
||||
- Interactive agent discovery
|
||||
- "Knowledge base without overwhelming users with information upfront"
|
||||
- Guided exploration of BMad capabilities
|
||||
- Exactly what we need for Phase 3 documentation!
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What is KB Mode?
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose (from kb-mode-interaction.md)
|
||||
|
||||
> "Provide a user-friendly interface to the BMad knowledge base without overwhelming users with information upfront."
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
**Command:** `*kb-mode`
|
||||
|
||||
**Flow:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. User types `*kb-mode`
|
||||
2. Agent enters KB mode
|
||||
3. Presents 8 topic areas:
|
||||
- Setup & Installation
|
||||
- Workflows
|
||||
- Web vs IDE
|
||||
- **Agents** ← Critical for our needs!
|
||||
- Documents
|
||||
- Agile Process
|
||||
- Configuration
|
||||
- Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
4. User selects topic or asks question
|
||||
5. Agent provides focused info from KB
|
||||
6. Suggests related topics
|
||||
7. Maintains conversational flow
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Files
|
||||
|
||||

## BMad Knowledge Base Content
|
||||
|
||||
From `bmad-kb.md` (32k file):
|
||||
|
||||
### Covers:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Overview of BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
- ✅ How BMad Works (Core Method)
|
||||
- ✅ The Two-Phase Approach (Planning vs Development)
|
||||
- ✅ Development Loop
|
||||
- ✅ Getting Started (Web UI & IDE)
|
||||

|
||||
## How BMad Works
|
||||
|
||||
### The Core Method
|
||||
|
||||
BMad transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details
|
||||
2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.)
|
||||
3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code
|
||||
4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Orchestrator
|
||||
|
||||
From `.bmad-core/agents/bmad-orchestrator.md`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
commands:
|
||||
kb-mode: Load full BMad knowledge base
|
||||
|
||||
kb-mode-behavior:
|
||||
- When *kb-mode is invoked, use kb-mode-interaction task
|
||||
- Don't dump all KB content immediately
|
||||
- Present topic areas and wait for user selection
|
||||
- Provide focused, contextual responses
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Flow:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. User types `*kb-mode`
|
||||
2. Orchestrator loads `kb-mode-interaction.md` (instructions)
|
||||
3. Orchestrator loads `bmad-kb.md` (knowledge base)
|
||||
4. Presents topic menu
|
||||
5. Answers questions from KB
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison: v4 vs v6
|
||||
|
||||
**v4 Name:** KB Mode (Knowledge Base Mode)
|
||||
**v6 Status:** ✅ **STILL EXISTS** - Same name, same concept!
|
||||
|
||||
**Evolution:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Core concept preserved
|
||||
- Now integrated with Orchestrator agent
|
||||
- More structured topic areas
|
||||
- Better separation (task + data)
|
||||
|
||||
**Not removed, but enhanced!**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## BMVCS Integration Opportunity
|
||||
|
||||
### Current State
|
||||
|
||||
**KB Mode has "Agents" topic (#4)** but:
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ No VCS workflow awareness
|
||||
- ❌ No mention of VCS Adapter
|
||||
- ❌ No BMVCS-specific guidance
|
||||
|
||||
### What We Need to Add
|
||||
|
||||
**Update `bmad-kb.md` section on Agents:**
|
||||
|
||||
Add BMVCS-aware guidance:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Agents
|
||||
|
||||
### VCS-Aware Agents (with BMVCS)
|
||||
|
||||
If you have BMVCS installed, these agents adapt to your VCS workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
**Architect Agent** - Creates architecture documentation
|
||||
|
||||
- GitHub Flow: Lightweight docs focusing on PRs
|
||||
- GitFlow: Version-oriented with release cycles
|
||||
- Trunk-Based: Flag-gated incremental docs
|
||||
|
||||
**PM Agent** - Creates PRDs and requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- GitHub Flow: Feature-scoped PRDs, 1-3 day stories
|
||||
- GitFlow: Release-scoped PRDs, 3-5 day stories
|
||||
- Trunk-Based: Flag-gated increments, <1 day stories
|
||||
|
||||
**Dev Agent** - Implements features
|
||||
|
||||
- GitHub Flow: Atomic commits with conventional style
|
||||
- GitFlow: Descriptive commits with branch prefixes
|
||||
- Trunk-Based: Feature-flag wrapped changes
|
||||
|
||||
To use VCS-aware agents:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run `*discover` to detect your workflow
|
||||
2. Agents automatically adapt to your VCS config
|
||||
3. Templates adjust based on workflow type
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### New KB Mode Topic
|
||||
|
||||
Could add 9th topic:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
9. **VCS Integration** - How BMVCS adapts to your workflow
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or expand existing topic #2:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
2. **Workflows & VCS** - Choosing the right workflow and VCS integration
|
||||
```
|
||||

## Path Fix Dependency Re-Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
### Original Question:
|
||||
|
||||
"Do we need path fix before Phase 3?"
|
||||
|
||||
### NEW ANSWER (after finding KB Mode):
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 3.1 can START NOW!**
|
||||
|
||||
**Why:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Phase 3.1 is about PLANNING documentation
|
||||
- KB Mode research is documentation research
|
||||
- Can design BMVCS KB additions without working integration
|
||||
- Path fix enables TESTING examples, not designing them
|
||||
|
||||
**Revised Approach:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Session 3: Phase 3.1 Planning** (NOW - no path fix needed)
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ Research KB Mode (DONE!)
|
||||
2. Design BMVCS additions to bmad-kb.md
|
||||
3. Plan BMM_INTEGRATION_GUIDE structure
|
||||
4. Design examples (document what they SHOULD do)
|
||||
5. Create Phase 3 implementation plan
|
||||
|
||||
**Session 4: Path Fix** (before implementation)
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix 3 agent files
|
||||
- Now examples will work
|
||||
|
||||
**Session 5+: Phase 3.1 Implementation**
|
||||
|
||||
- Write BMVCS KB additions
|
||||
- Create integration guide
|
||||
- Test with working examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Conclusion:** Path fix can wait! Planning first! ✅

## Documentation Standards (Future)
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Review and apply `SESSION_END_PROTOCOL.md` naming if applicable
|
||||
- [ ] Apply `DOCUMENTATION_CONVENTIONS.md` sequential numbering (01-99) if needed
|
||||
- [ ] Standardize document naming across module
|
||||
- [ ] Ensure consistency with BMAD v6 module standards
|
||||
|
||||
### README Updates
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Update `src/modules/bmvcs/docs/README.md` with new documents
|
||||
- [ ] Add links to research findings
|
||||
- [ ] Add links to TODO (this file)
|
||||
- [ ] Organize by category (Principles, Research, Plans, Guides)
|
||||
|
||||
### Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Add creation dates to all docs
|
||||
- [ ] Add "Last Updated" timestamps
|
||||
- [ ] Add version numbers where appropriate
|
||||
- [ ] Add status indicators (Draft, Review, Final)

## Future Enhancements (Post-Phase 3)
|
||||
|
||||
### SM/TEA Agent Integration (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Evaluate if SM agent needs VCS awareness
|
||||
- [ ] Evaluate if TEA agent needs VCS awareness
|
||||
- [ ] Document decision and rationale
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** Currently 3/5 BMM agents have VCS integration (Architect, PM, Dev). SM and TEA don't have it by design.
|
||||
|
||||
### Additional VCS Support
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] SVN workflow templates
|
||||
- [ ] Perforce workflow templates
|
||||
- [ ] Mercurial workflow templates
|
||||
- [ ] Custom workflow enhancement
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced Features
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Auto-detection enhancement
|
||||
- [ ] Migration guides between workflows
|
||||
- [ ] Team collaboration patterns
|
||||
- [ ] Multi-repo scenarios
