* chore: remove SM agent (Bob) and migrate capabilities to Developer agent
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(docs): correct agent naming and grammar from review triage
Standardize Developer agent references to bmad-agent-dev (matching
installed skill directory name) and fix possessive apostrophe in
implementation-readiness workflow.
* fix(skills): replace dev team references with Developer agent
No longer a multi-agent development team — just one Developer agent.
Remove residual Scrum Master search patterns from retrospective.

* 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.
* fix(bmad-init): correctly resolve output_folder paths outside project root
When output_folder was set to an absolute path (e.g. /Users/me/outputs),
the {project-root}/{value} result template stored it as
{project-root}//absolute/path. resolve_project_root_placeholder then did
a naive string replace, producing /project//absolute/path — a broken path
that workflows could not resolve.
For relative paths outside the root (e.g. ../../sibling), the same naive
replace left un-normalized paths like /project/../../sibling in the
resolved config, which some tools mishandled.
Fix resolve_project_root_placeholder to strip the {project-root} token,
detect whether the remainder is absolute (returning it directly) or
relative (joining with project root and normalizing via os.path.normpath).
Fix apply_result_template to skip the template entirely when raw_value is
already an absolute path, and to normalize the result for relative-but-
outside paths. This covers the bmad-init SKILL write path, which bakes
the resolved path directly into config.yaml.
Add 7 tests covering all three path cases (absolute, relative-with-
traversal, normal in-project) for both functions.

* fix(docs): correct Hasselhoff spelling, add locale-aware 404 redirect
Fix "Hasslehoff" → "Hasselhoff" typo in customize-bmad.md across all
three locales (en, zh-cn, fr).
Add client-side locale detection to 404.astro so GitHub Pages serves
the correct localized 404 page instead of always showing English.

* fix(build): exclude translated locales from llms-full.txt
llms-full.txt was including zh-cn and fr docs, tripling the content
with duplicate information in different languages. Restrict to English

Reduces output from ~393K to ~114K chars (~29k tokens).

* refactor(i18n): extract locale config to shared module

* refactor(installer): remove dead agent compilation pipeline
Delete 9 files (~2,600 lines) that compiled .agent.yaml to .md.
No .agent.yaml files exist in the source tree — agents now ship
as pre-built SKILL.md. Clean up all references in installer,
module manager, custom handler, base IDE, UI, and tests.
* refactor(custom-handler): remove dead install/copy/find methods
CustomHandler.install(), copyDirectory(), and findFilesRecursively()
are never called — custom modules are installed via moduleManager.install()
since Dec 2025. Also removes unused FileOps import and constructor.
Verified with before/after clean-installer comparison (codex + custom
modules with custom.yaml): output is identical.

Quick Flow was an umbrella for quick-spec + quick-dev. Quick Spec is
gone and the new preview was promoted to bmad-quick-dev, so the explainer
should be about quick-dev directly. Replaces quick-flow.md with the
original quick-dev-new-preview.md content (renamed), including the
diagram reference. zh-cn uses the original hand-written Chinese
translation. Also removes stale Quick Spec references from agents.md.

* refactor: consolidate agents into phase-based skill directories
Remove separate agent/workflow/skill directories (src/bmm/agents,
src/bmm/workflows, src/core/skills, src/utility/agent-components) and
reorganize all content into phase-based structures under src/bmm-skills
(1-analysis, 2-plan-workflows, 3-solutioning, 4-implementation) and
src/core-skills. Eliminates the agent/skill distinction by treating
agents as skills within their workflow phase.
* fix: update broken file references to use new bmm-skills paths
* docs: update all references for unified bmad-quick-dev workflow
Remove all references to the old separate bmad-quick-spec and
bmad-quick-dev-new-preview workflows. The new bmad-quick-dev is a
unified workflow that handles intent clarification, planning,
implementation, review, and presentation in a single run.
Updated files across English docs, Chinese translations, source
skill manifests, website diagram, and build tooling.

* docs: add core tools reference and apply Diataxis style fixes
Add comprehensive reference doc for all 11 built-in core tools (tasks
and workflows) that ship with every BMad installation — bmad-help,
brainstorming, party-mode, distillator, advanced-elicitation, both
review tools, both editorial tools, shard-doc, and index-docs. Each
entry follows the Configuration Reference structure with purpose,
use cases, how it works, inputs, and outputs.
Style fixes across existing docs:
- reference/commands.md: convert #### headers to bold text, replace
sparse task table with link to new core-tools reference
- how-to/get-answers-about-bmad.md: remove horizontal rule between
sections (Diataxis violation)
- how-to/project-context.md: consolidate 4 consecutive tip admonitions
into single admonition with bullet list, add AGENTS.md reference
Also includes:
- Add bmad-distillator task to core module with compression agents,
format reference, splitting strategy, and analysis scripts
- Add Distillator entry to module-help.csv
- Rename supports-autonomous to supports-headless in product-brief
manifest

Adds a "Trigger Types" section to the agents reference page
explaining the difference between workflow triggers (no arguments)
and conversational triggers (arguments required). Lists all
Technical Writer triggers that expect user-provided input with
examples of proper usage.
Fixes#1682
The testing reference page incorrectly described Quinn's Automate
workflow as running per-story before Code Review, contradicting the
workflow map which positions it after epic completion. Align the testing
page with the workflow map: Quinn runs after all stories in an epic are
implemented and code-reviewed.
* docs: drop slash-command syntax from skill references (editorial)
Skill names like bmad-help are now shown without a / prefix since
invocation syntax varies across platforms. First-encounter locations
(README, getting-started, get-answers, installer message, bmad-help
display rules) get editorial framing so new users understand these
are skill names to invoke by name.

* refactor(augment): remove legacy YAML/XML workflow rules from code review guidelines
All workflows have been converted to markdown. Remove workflow.yaml,
workflow.xml, and config_source references from Augment review rules.
Drop the entire xml_workflows section (5 rules) and the YAML-specific
standard_workflow_instructions rule.
* refactor: extract discover_inputs protocol from workflow.xml into co-located markdown
Convert the discover_inputs XML protocol (FULL_LOAD, SELECTIVE_LOAD,
INDEX_GUIDED strategies) into standalone markdown files placed alongside
the two workflows that use it (create-story, code-review). Replace
<invoke-protocol> tags with explicit file references. This decouples
the workflows from workflow.xml, enabling its deletion in a follow-up.

* refactor: delete dead YAML/XML workflow engine files

* feat(i18n): add zh-cn locale support with Starlight routing
Reorganize Chinese translations from docs_cn/ into docs/zh-cn/
following Starlight's i18n content structure. Configure Starlight
with root locale (en, unprefixed) and zh-cn (/zh-cn/ prefix).
- Move 28 files from docs_cn/*_cn.md to docs/zh-cn/*.md
- Fix 21 internal links to remove _cn suffixes
- Add defaultLocale + locales config to astro.config.mjs
- Add .gitignore exception for docs/zh-cn/ (overrides z*/ rule)
- Language switcher activates automatically via existing Header
- hreflang tags auto-generated by Starlight on all pages
* feat(i18n): add zh-CN UI translations and sidebar labels
- Add website/src/content/i18n/zh-CN.json with Starlight UI strings
- Add sidebar group label translations (欢迎, 路线图, 教程, etc.)
- Register i18n collection in content config to fix deprecation warning
* fix(i18n): exclude 404 pages from sitemap
Custom 404 pages (root and zh-cn) were indexed as regular content in
the sitemap. Add a filter to the @astrojs/sitemap integration that
matches the /404 path segment precisely via regex on the URL pathname.
Update the BMAD acronym expansion from "Breakthrough Method of
Agile AI Driven Development" to "Build More Architect Dreams"
across README, docs homepage, and package.json description.

BMad-Help is one of V6's flagship features but was undersold in docs.
This update positions it properly as the intelligent guide that:
- Inspects project state and detects what's completed
- Understands natural language queries
- Varies options based on installed modules
- Auto-invokes after every workflow
- Recommends first required tasks
Changes:
- Add dedicated "Meet BMad-Help" section to getting-started
- Expand commands.md with full BMad-Help subsection and examples
- Reposition get-answers-about-bmad.md to start with BMad-Help
- Enhance install-bmad.md and established-projects.md with query examples
- Add index.md tip box promoting /bmad-help as quickest way to dive in
