chore(bmvcs): remove development docs from tracking
Remove internal development documentation from git: - TODO.md - BMM_AGENTS_VCS_CONFIG_PATH_FIX.md - DEVELOPMENT_APPROACH.md - KB_MODE_RESEARCH_FINDINGS.md These files remain locally and will be stashed for future KB Mode work. Not needed in production release.

# 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
|
|
||||||
```

|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**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
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

**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
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```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
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
#### 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.

)"
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### 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"
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||

## Overview
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This document analyzes the development approach used for creating the BMVCS module and compares it with the standard BMB (BMAD Builder) `create-module` workflow introduced in BMAD v6.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Module Creation Strategy
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
BMVCS was developed using a **direct development approach** rather than the standard BMB `create-module` workflow. This was an intentional choice that proved beneficial for this specific module.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

## BMVCS vs BMB Standards Compliance
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Despite bypassing the BMB workflow, BMVCS fully adheres to BMAD v6 module standards:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Component | BMB Standard | BMVCS Implementation | Status |
|
|
||||||
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------ |
|
|
||||||
| **Structure** | `agents/`, `workflows/`, `tasks/`, `templates/` | All present | ✅ Compliant |
|
|
||||||
| **Installer** | `_module-installer/` with config | Complete with custom logic | ✅ Compliant |
|
|
||||||
| **Primary Agent** | Minimum 1 agent | `vcs-adapter.md` | ✅ Compliant |
|
|
||||||
| **Workflows** | 2-10 workflows | `setup-vcs` workflow | ✅ Compliant |
|
|
||||||
| **Tasks** | Supporting tasks | 3 tasks (discover, adapt, validate) | ✅ Compliant |
|
|
||||||
| **Documentation** | README + docs | README + 4 detailed docs | ✅ Compliant |
|
|
||||||
| **Templates** | Shared resources | 5 VCS adaptation templates | ✅ Compliant |

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

## Recommendations for Future Modules
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### For Standard Modules
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Use BMB create-module workflow:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Domain-specific modules (Legal, Medical, Finance, etc.)
|
|
||||||
- Content creation modules
|
|
||||||
- Productivity tools
|
|
||||||
- Game development modules
|
|
||||||
- Standard agent + workflow combinations
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### For Innovative Modules
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Consider direct development:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Novel architectural patterns
|
|
||||||
- Research/experimental modules
|
|
||||||
- Cross-cutting concerns (like BMVCS)
|
|
||||||
- Infrastructure modules
|
|
||||||
- Tool/builder modules
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Hybrid Approach
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Combine both methods:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Use BMB for initial scaffolding
|
|
||||||
2. Customize structure for special needs
|
|
||||||
3. Add innovative components manually
|
|
||||||
4. Leverage BMB validation at end
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Key Takeaways
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Both Approaches Are Valid
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **BMB create-module** = Scaffolding tool for structured creation
|
|
||||||
- **Direct development** = Production-ready structure built manually
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### BMVCS Proves a Point
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Understanding BMAD v6 architecture allows successful module creation without mandatory tooling. The direct development approach can be faster and more flexible for experienced developers working on innovative modules.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### This May Become a Pattern
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The "rapid prototyping pattern" demonstrated by BMVCS development could be documented as an official alternative approach for experienced BMAD module developers.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Future Possibilities
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Retrospective BMB Validation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Run BMB validation tools on existing modules
|
|
||||||
- Compare hand-built vs generated structures
|
|
||||||
- Identify gaps or improvements
|
|
||||||
- Update module to incorporate BMB best practices
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Tooling Enhancement
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Create "validate-module" tool for manual modules
|
|
||||||
- Build "enhance-module" to add BMB features to existing modules
|
|
||||||
- Develop "module-audit" for compliance checking
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Documentation Pattern
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Use BMVCS as case study in BMB documentation
|
|
||||||
- Show both approaches in module creation guides
|
|
||||||
- Provide decision matrix for approach selection
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Conclusion
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
BMVCS demonstrates that direct development is a viable alternative to the BMB create-module workflow for certain types of modules. While BMB provides structure and guidance, direct development offers speed and flexibility for experienced developers working on innovative or experimental modules.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The key is understanding **when to use which approach** based on:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Developer experience level
|
|
||||||
- Module complexity and novelty
|
|
||||||
- Need for speed vs structure
|
|
||||||
- Standard vs innovative patterns
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Both approaches have their place in the BMAD v6 ecosystem, and this document serves as guidance for future module developers choosing their path.

## 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
|
|
||||||
```

## Implications for Phase 3
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 3.1: User Documentation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**GOOD NEWS:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Don't need to create "agent discovery" mechanism - it exists!
|
|
||||||
- ✅ KB Mode is the official way to learn about agents
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Just need to UPDATE kb mode with BMVCS info
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**What to Document:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **Update bmad-kb.md** (expand existing content)
|
|
||||||
- Add BMVCS section
|
|
||||||
- Add VCS-aware agent explanations
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. **Create BMM_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md** (new file)
|
|
||||||
- How to use VCS Adapter
|
|
||||||
- How BMM agents integrate
|
|
||||||
- Examples per workflow
|
|
||||||
- Troubleshooting
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. **Update kb-mode-interaction.md** (optional)
|
|
||||||
- Add BMVCS/VCS topic area
|
|
||||||
- Or expand Workflows topic
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 3.2: Developer Documentation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Explain:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- How BMVCS extends KB Mode
|
|
||||||
- How agents check VCS config
|
|
||||||
- Template adaptation mechanism

## 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! ✅

## Conclusion
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**User's intuition was spot-on!** 🎯
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
BMAD v4's interactive guide mechanism (KB Mode) not only exists in v6, but is well-maintained and ready to extend with BMVCS content.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Phase 3 Strategy:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Don't create new mechanism
|
|
||||||
2. Enhance existing KB Mode
|
|
||||||
3. Add BMVCS awareness to bmad-kb.md
|
|
||||||
4. Create complementary BMM_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md
|
|
||||||
5. Leverage official pattern
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**"Fail to plan - plan to fail"** - This research validates the plan before execution! ✅

## 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
