* fix(installer): handle deep-path URLs in custom module source parser
Rewrite parseSource() from host-specific regex to generic URL-based
parser so Azure DevOps _git paths and other multi-segment repo URLs
are preserved in cloneUrl and cacheKey.
Closes#2268
* test(installer): add Azure DevOps URL tests and wire into CI
- Add 18 assertions for dev.azure.com and visualstudio.com URLs
- Cover modern ADO, legacy ADO, .git suffix, ?path= subdir variants
- Add test:urls script to test and quality npm chains

* feat(installer): channel-based version resolution for external modules
Adds stable/next/pinned channel resolution so external/community modules
install at released git tags by default instead of tracking main HEAD.
Manifest now records channel, resolved version, and SHA per module for
reproducible installs.
CLI flags: --channel, --all-stable, --all-next, --next=CODE (repeatable),
--pin CODE=TAG (repeatable). Precedence: pin > next > channel > registry
default > stable. --yes accepts patch/minor upgrades but refuses majors.
Interactive "Ready to install (all stable)?" gate with a per-module
picker (stable/next/pin) when declined. Re-install prompts classify tag
diffs as patch/minor/major with semver-class-dependent defaults.
Legacy version:null manifests get a one-time migration prompt.
Custom modules gain an optional @<ref> URL suffix for pinning (https,
ssh, /tree/<ref>/subdir forms supported; local paths rejected).
Community modules honor --next/--pin overrides with a curator-bypass
warning; default path still enforces the approved SHA.
Quick-update now reads the manifest's recorded channel per module so
pinned installs don't silently roll forward.
* feat(installer): interactive channel switch, upgrade refusal, unified docs
Builds on the channel-resolution foundation. The installer now lets users
flip a module between stable, next, and pinned after install — either
interactively via a "Review channel assignments?" gate, or by flag. Quick
and modify re-installs classify stable upgrades; under non-interactive
flows, patches and minors apply automatically but majors are refused with
a pointer to --pin.
Fallback behavior for GitHub rate-limit / network failures is now cache-
aware: re-installs reuse the recorded ref silently; fresh installs abort
with actionable guidance (set GITHUB_TOKEN or use --next/--pin). Bundled
modules (core, bmm) warn when targeted by --pin or --next so users aren't
left wondering why the flag had no effect.
Install summary labels no longer mangle "main" into "vmain"; next-channel
entries render as "main @ <short-sha>" instead. Bundled modules are now
correctly skipped from all channel prompts and tag-API lookups.
Docs consolidated into a single how-to. install-bmad.md now covers the
interactive flow, the channel model (stable/next/pinned plus the npm
dist-tag axis for core/bmm), the re-install upgrade prompts, the full
flag reference, copy-paste recipes, and troubleshooting. The old
non-interactive-installation.md is reduced to a redirect stub.
* fix(installer): review fixes + unit tests for channel resolution
- ui.js: import parseGitHubRepo; fixes ReferenceError in the
interactive channel picker's stable-tag pre-resolve path.
- community-manager: pinned modules now fetch+checkout the pin tag
on cache refresh instead of resetting to origin/HEAD (was silently
drifting to main on re-install).
- channel-plan: parseChannelOptions returns acceptBypass so --yes
auto-confirms the curator-bypass prompt; headless --next/--pin
installs of community modules no longer hang.
- community-manager: simplify recordedVersion (dead ternary branch).
- custom-module-manager: drop "or sha" from the @<ref> comment
(git clone --branch rejects raw SHAs); update-path fetches
origin <ref> so /tree/<branch>/ URLs work too.
- install-bmad.md: rename "Headless / CI installs" to "Headless CI
installs" so the stub's #headless-ci-installs anchor resolves.
- test/test-installer-channels.js: 83 unit tests for channel-plan
and channel-resolver pure modules; wired into npm test as
test:channels.
* fix(installer): address CodeRabbit review findings
- ui.js: skip stable-channel upgrade classification when the user has
already declared intent via --pin/--next=/--channel or the review
gate. Prevents the decline / major-refused / fetch-error branches
from silently overwriting an explicit pin with prev.version.
- external-manager.js: short-circuit cloneExternalModule when the
requested plan matches an existing in-process resolution and the
cache is valid. Avoids redundant resolveChannel() + git fetch on
every same-plan lookup in a single install.
- installer.js: fall back to CommunityModuleManager.getResolution()
when no external resolution exists, so community module result
rows carry newChannel/newSha instead of null under --next/--pin.
- installer.js: don't label a module as "no change" when its version
string is 'main'/'HEAD' — the SHA may have moved and preVersions
doesn't track the prior SHA. Show "(refreshed)" instead.
- official-modules.js: match versionInfo.version to the manifest's
cloneRef || (hasGitClone ? 'main' : version) expression so summary
lines report the cloned ref for git-backed custom installs.
- install-bmad.md: clarify that sha is only written for git-backed
modules and that rerunning the same --modules on another machine
does not reproduce stable-channel installs — convert recorded tags
into explicit --pin flags for cross-machine reproducibility.
fs-extra routes all operations through graceful-fs, which globally
monkey-patches node:fs with a deferred retry queue. During multi-module
installs (~500+ file ops), retried unlink operations from one module's
remove phase can fire after the next module's copy phase has written
files, silently deleting them non-deterministically.
Replace fs-extra with a thin fs-native.js wrapper over node:fs/promises
and node:fs. All 21 consumers now use native APIs with no global
monkey-patching, eliminating the retry-queue race condition entirely.
Closes#1779
* feat: add bmad-prfaq skill as alternative to product brief
Add Working Backwards PRFAQ challenge skill for stress-testing product
concepts through Amazon's PRFAQ methodology. Includes press release
drafting, customer FAQ, internal FAQ, and verdict stages with subagent
support for artifact scanning and web research.
- New bmad-prfaq skill with 5-stage interactive gauntlet and headless mode
- Subagents for artifact analysis and web research (graceful degradation)
- Research-grounded output directive for current market/competitive data
- Always produces distillate for downstream PRD consumption
- Fix manifest array syntax in both prfaq and product-brief manifests
- Drop number prefixes from reference files
- Update docs: getting-started, workflow-map, agents, skills reference
- Add analysis-phase explainer doc with comparison table and decision guide
- Update workflow-map-diagram.html with prfaq card
- Add -H and -A args to CSV for both skills
- Add unist-util-visit as devDependency (was imported but undeclared)
* fix: harden bmad-prfaq for compaction resilience and context efficiency
Add coaching persona re-anchors to all stage prompts so the behavioral
directive survives context compaction. Add do-not-read guards at resume
detection, headless mode, and input gathering to prevent parent agent
context bloat. Add Stage 1 coaching notes capture. Adapt template and
press release stage for non-commercial concept types. Cap subagent
response token budgets.
* fix: add config.user.yaml to file-ref validator allowlist
Also update PRFAQ config path to use correct _config/bmm/ prefix.
* refactor(installer): restructure installer with clean separation of concerns
Move tools/cli/ to tools/installer/ with major structural cleanup:
- InstallPaths async factory for path resolution and directory creation
- Config value object (frozen) replaces mutable config bag
- ExistingInstall value object replaces stateful Detector class
- OfficialModules + CustomModules + ExternalModuleManager replace monolithic ModuleManager
- install() is prompt-free; all user interaction in ui.js
- Update state returned explicitly instead of mutating customConfig
- Delete dead code: dependency-resolver, _base-ide, IdeConfigManager,
platform-codes helpers, npx wrapper, xml-utils
- Flatten directory structure: custom/handler → custom-handler,
tools/cli/ → tools/installer/, lib/ directories removed
- Update all path references in package.json, tests, CI, and docs
* fix(installer): guard ExistingInstall.version and surface module.yaml errors
Guard ExistingInstall.version access with .installed check in
uninstall.js, ui.js, and installer.js to prevent throwing on
empty/partial _bmad dirs. Surface invalid module.yaml parse errors
as warnings instead of silently returning empty results.
Add tools/validate-skills.js — a Node CLI that checks 13 deterministic
rules (SKILL-01–06, WF-01–02, PATH-02, STEP-01/06/07, SEQ-02) across
all skill directories. Runs in under a second, exits non-zero on HIGH+
findings in strict mode, and outputs JSON for the inference validator.
- Add validate:skills npm script to quality chain
- Update skill-validator.md with first-pass integration instructions
- Update AGENTS.md push gate documentation

* feat(cli): add uninstall command with selective component removal
Add `bmad uninstall` CLI command for clean removal of BMAD installations.
Interactive mode with directory router and component multiselect; non-interactive
`--yes` flag preserves user artifacts by default. Three-phase spinner UX,
manifest-scoped IDE cleanup, GitHub Copilot marker stripping, recursive empty
directory cleanup, and chalk-to-clack migration in copilot handler.

* fix(docs): add non-interactive installation to sidebar, rewrite and reorder how-to guides
- Move non-interactive-installation.md into how-to/ directory so it appears
in the sidebar navigation (was orphaned at docs root)
- Rewrite the page based on editorial review: consolidate redundant sections,
add missing how-to structure (prerequisites, "What You Get"), condense
installation modes from 5 subsections to a table, cut speculative examples
- Reorder how-to sidebar: Install (1), Non-Interactive (2), Upgrade to v6 (3),
then the rest following user journey order

* feat: extend validate-file-refs.js to scan CSV workflow-file references
Add CSV file reference extraction to the Layer 1 validation pipeline,
preventing broken _bmad/ workflow-file paths in module-help.csv files.
Closes the gap identified after PR #1529 where CSV references were
unvalidated despite being a source of repeat community issues.
Refs: #1519
* fix: include test:refs in aggregate test script
Add CSV file-ref extraction tests to the aggregate `npm test` pipeline,
matching the existing pattern for test:schemas and test:install.
Thanks to CodeRabbit for catching the omission.
* fix: address review feedback on CSV validator extension
- Surface CSV parse errors visibly instead of silently swallowing
(no Layer 2c schema validator exists yet to catch these)
- Add explanatory comments for the !VERBOSE logging pattern
(non-verbose prints file headers only when issues found)
- Add verbose-mode diagnostics for extensionless path handling
([SKIP] when nothing exists, [OK-DIR] for valid directories)
* refactor: collect-then-print to eliminate confusing !VERBOSE pattern
Replace the split header-printing logic (print early in verbose mode,
print late in non-verbose mode with a !VERBOSE guard) with a simpler
collect-then-print approach. Refs are now classified into ok[] and
broken[] arrays first, then printed in a single location with one
straightforward if/else if decision.
Addresses alexeyv's review feedback about the counterintuitive
"if not verbose, log" pattern.
* feat: promote extensionless unresolved paths from silent skip to [UNRESOLVED]
Paths without file extensions that don't exist as files or directories
are now flagged as [UNRESOLVED] — a distinct tag from [BROKEN] (which
means a file with a known extension wasn't found). Both count toward
the broken reference total and appear in CI annotations.
This catches real bugs like wrong directory names in installed_path
metadata and dead invoke-workflow references to removed workflows.
Extensionless paths that DO exist as directories are still [OK-DIR].

* feat(cli): complete @clack/prompts migration
Full migration of BMAD CLI installer from legacy terminal libraries
(chalk, ora, boxen, figlet, wrap-ansi, cli-table3, readline) to unified
@clack/prompts v1.0.0 visual system.
Foundation (prompts.js + cli-utils.js):
- Extended prompts.js wrapper with box, spinner, progress, taskLog,
path, autocomplete, selectKey, stream, color re-export
- Refactored cli-utils.js: displayLogo uses box(), sections use note(),
steps use log.step(), removed boxen/figlet/wrap-ansi/cli-table3
UI orchestration (ui.js):
- Replaced ~100 console.log+chalk calls with log.*, note(), box()
- Replaced ora spinner with @clack spinner
- Module selection: autocompleteMultiselect with locked core module,
bulleted post-selection display, maxItems for no-scroll
Spinner migration (installer.js):
- Replaced 40+ ora spinner calls with @clack spinner
- All spinner.stop() calls include meaningful messages
- Failure paths use spinner.error() (red cross) instead of stop()
Readline migration (agent/installer.js + config-collector.js):
- Migrated readline prompts to @clack text/confirm/select
- Fixed chalk.dim bug (chalk was never imported)
- Removed chalk from config-collector.js
IDE handlers + modules (7 files):
- Replaced chalk+ora across all IDE handlers and module manager
- Fixed options.installer undefined bug in manager.js update()
Cleanup:
- Removed ora, boxen, figlet, wrap-ansi, cli-table3 from dependencies
- chalk stays (used outside tools/cli/ scope)
- Replaced hand-drawn Unicode update box in bmad-cli.js with box()
- Added process.stdin.setMaxListeners(25) for sequential prompts
Spinner wrapper adds isSpinning state tracking (not native to @clack).
Removed dead groupMultiselect and sortKey sort calls.

The downloads page offered bmad-sources.zip and bmad-prompts.zip, both
redundant: GitHub provides source archives for every tag natively, and
npx bmad-method install is the supported path for compiled prompts.
Remove the downloads page, all bundle generation code, the archiver
dependency, and nav links. The llms.txt and llms-full.txt files (the
genuinely useful artifacts) continue to be generated as before.
The manual-release.yaml workflow has been broken since the v6 alpha
rewrite — it calls `npm run validate` which no longer exists. Releases
are now handled via the /draft-changelog and release skills instead.
- Delete .github/workflows/manual-release.yaml
- Delete tools/docs/BUNDLE_DISTRIBUTION_SETUP.md (references deleted workflow)
- Remove release:major/minor/patch/watch npm scripts (triggered deleted workflow)
Can be restored from git history if a CI-based release workflow is needed again.

* docs: add official external modules reference page
* chore: remove obsolete docs and basement files
* fix: update robots.txt URLs to docs.bmad-method.org
* fix: generate robots.txt dynamically from site base URL
Replace static robots.txt with an Astro endpoint that uses the
configured site URL, so sitemap references are correct on both
fork deployments and production.
* fix: unify site URL resolution in build-docs.js
build-docs.js had its own hardcoded fallback URL
(bmad-code-org.github.io) instead of using the shared
getSiteUrl() function, causing URL mismatches between
robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemaps. Now all components
resolve the site URL through the same function. Renamed
site-url.js to .mjs to avoid Node ESM detection warnings.
* fix: correct module names and relocate prompt file
- CIS: "Creative Innovation Suite" → "Creative Intelligence Suite"
- GDS: "Game Dev Suite" → "Game Dev Studio"
- Move _prompt-external-modules-page.md from docs/ to tools/docs/
* refactor: convert build-docs to ESM, eliminate mutable globals
- Convert build-docs.js to build-docs.mjs (CJS → ESM)
- Import getSiteUrl directly, remove async import workaround
- Kill mutable SITE_URL global, call getSiteUrl() where needed
- Clean up Banner.astro variable naming
- Update package.json and CI workflow for .mjs extension
* feat: add cross-file reference validator for CI
Add tools/validate-file-refs.js that validates cross-file references
in BMAD source files (agents, workflows, tasks, steps). Catches broken
file paths, missing referenced files, wrong extensions, and absolute
path leaks before they reach users.
Addresses broken-file-ref and path-handling bug classes which account
for 25% of all historical bugs (59 closed issues, 129+ comments).
- Scans src/ for YAML, markdown, and XML files
- Validates {project-root}/_bmad/ references against source tree
- Checks relative path references, exec attributes, invoke-task tags
- Detects absolute path leaks (/Users/, /home/, C:\)
- Adds validate:refs npm script and CI step in quality.yaml
* feat: strip JSON example blocks to reduce false-positive broken refs
Add stripJsonExampleBlocks() to the markdown reference extractor so
bare JSON example/template blocks (braces on their own lines) are
removed before pattern matching. This prevents paths inside example
data from being flagged as broken references.
* feat: add line numbers, fix utility/ path mapping, improve verbose output
- Add utility/ to direct path mapping (was incorrectly falling through
to src/modules/utility/)
- Show line numbers for broken references in markdown files
- Show YAML key path for broken references in YAML files
- Print file headers in verbose mode for all files with refs
* fix: correct verbose [OK]/[BROKEN] overlap and line number drift
Broken refs no longer print [OK] before [BROKEN] in --verbose mode.
Code block stripping now preserves newlines so offsetToLine() reports
accurate line numbers when code blocks precede broken references.
* fix: address review feedback, add CI annotations and step summary
Address alexeyv's review findings on PR #1494:
- Fix exec-attr prefix handling for {_bmad}/ and bare _bmad/ paths
- Fix mapInstalledToSource fallback (remove phantom src/modules/ mapping)
- Switch extractYamlRefs to parseDocument() for YAML line numbers
Add CI integration (stories 2-1, 2-2):
- Emit ::warning annotations for broken refs and abs-path leaks
- Write markdown table to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
- Guard both behind environment variable checks
Harden CI output:
- escapeAnnotation() encodes %, \r, \n per GitHub Actions spec
- escapeTableCell() escapes pipe chars in step summary table

Comprehensive fix for installer failures related to Astro/Starlight peer dependencies:
1. Update @astrojs/starlight from 0.37.0 to 0.37.5 (latest stable)
2. Add .npmrc with legacy-peer-deps to prevent peer dependency warnings
3. Update module installer to use --legacy-peer-deps flag for external modules
This resolves issues where:
- npm shows peer dependency warnings that users interpret as failures
- External module installations fail due to strict peer dependency checking
- Different npm versions handle peer dependencies inconsistently
Technical note: Starlight 0.37.x requires astro@^5.5.0, which is compatible
with astro@5.16.0 (^5.5.0 means >=5.5.0 <6.0.0). The issue was npm's warning
display, not actual incompatibility.

explicit user confirmation.
Added:
- Review menu with [y] Approve, [c] Changes, [q] Questions, [a] Advanced Elicitation, [p] Party Mode

* fix(build): use file glob instead of sidebar parsing for llms-full.txt
Replace brittle sidebar.js regex parsing with recursive file glob.
The old approach captured non-file strings like 'autogenerated' and
category labels, resulting in only 5 files being processed.
Now correctly processes all 86+ markdown files (~95k tokens).

* fix(seo): use absolute URLs in AI meta tags for agent discoverability
AI web-browsing agents couldn't follow relative paths in meta tags due to
URL security restrictions. Changed llms-full.txt and llms.txt meta tag
URLs from relative (baseUrl) to absolute (urlParts.origin + baseUrl).

Apply React Native docs approach: set both width and max-width at
largest breakpoint (1400px) so content area maintains consistent
size regardless of content length. Switches to fluid 100% below
1416px breakpoint.
