Introduce Tracy (🔎), a forensic code investigator who treats every
issue like a crime scene. Findings are graded as Confirmed, Deduced,
or Hypothesized, hypotheses are never deleted (only updated), and the
deliverable is a structured investigation file another engineer can
pick up cold.
Skills under src/bmm-skills/4-implementation/:
- bmad-agent-investigator: Tracy persona, registered in the module.yaml
agent roster (which surfaces her in Party Mode automatically) and in
module-help.csv. Menu codes IN (investigate) and CX (code archaeology).
- bmad-investigate: full case workflow with intake, scene survey,
evidence analysis, source-code trace, and finalization phases. Phase 4
folds archaeology techniques inline when a bug requires broader area
understanding. Resume mode is intrinsic auto-detection.
- bmad-code-archaeology: standalone code-area exploration when there is
no bug to chase.
Workflow integration:
- bmad-create-prd step-01-init now scans
{implementation_artifacts}/investigations/*.md and reports
investigationCount alongside briefs, research, brainstorming, and
project docs. The PM agent treats the case file as input context.
Greenfield/brownfield branching, the PRD template, and downstream
Phase 3/4 skills stay untouched. Restructuring step-02+ for fix-driven
mode is left for a maintainer-aligned PR.
- bmad-create-prd step-02-discovery echoes the new count.
Public docs:
- New explainer at docs/explanation/forensic-investigation.md covering
evidence grading, hypothesis discipline, the two downstream paths, and
the Tracy/Amelia separation.
- docs/explanation/named-agents.md adds Tracy and drops the hardcoded
count so the table is self-counting.
- docs/reference/agents.md adds Tracy with IN/CX triggers.
- docs/reference/workflow-map.md gains an Entry Points section
(greenfield vs working-backwards) and places bmad-investigate on the
Quick Flow track feeding bmad-quick-dev.
- The Quick Flow box in workflow-map-diagram.html now shows Tracy and
Amelia in series with an arrow between them.
Analyst (Mary) triggers were listed as BP, RS, CB, WB, DP but the
actual agent source defines BP, MR, DR, TR, CB, WB, DP. Update all
locale agents.md files. Also add PRFAQ Working Backwards hyperlink
to commands.md in en, cs, and vi-vn.

* 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.

Delete the Barry agent persona and migrate its QD (quick-dev)
capability to the Amelia dev agent. Update EN, ZH, and FR docs,
marketplace JSON, and workflow diagrams.

* 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.
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.

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
Align documentation with the skills-based architecture migration by
replacing references to "commands", "slash commands", and legacy command
names with the new "skills" terminology and skill names.

* 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
- Fix README link to point to docs site instead of repo-internal markdown path

* fix(docs): move bleeding-edge install command out of Verify Installation
The alternative npx command for installing from main was misplaced
inside the "Verify Installation" section. Move it to a tip admonition
under Step 1 where users look for install options.
