refactor(config): replace hardcoded .bmad paths with {bmad_folder} placeholder
...
Remove hardcoded .bmad folder references throughout documentation and source files, replacing them with the configurable {bmad_folder} placeholder. This change enables users to customize the BMAD installation folder name via configuration, improving flexibility and reducing coupling to a specific directory structure.
Changes include:
- Update all documentation to reference {bmad_folder} instead of .bmad
- Remove legacy configuration files from .bmad and .claude directories
- Update workflow.xml and CLI documentation with new placeholder syntax

feat(workflows): Implement intelligent file discovery protocol and Phase 4 BMGD workflows
...
## Core Workflow Engine Enhancements
### discover_inputs Protocol (MAJOR)
- Added reusable `discover_inputs` protocol to workflow.xml for intelligent file loading
- Supports three loading strategies:
- FULL_LOAD: Load all shards for PRD, Architecture, UX (changed pattern from /index.md to /*/*.md)
- SELECTIVE_LOAD: Load specific shard via template variable (e.g., epic-{{epic_num}}.md)
- INDEX_GUIDED: Load index, analyze TOC, intelligently load relevant docs (with "DO NOT BE LAZY" mandate)
- Auto-discovers whole vs sharded documents with proper fallback
- Provides transparent reporting of loaded content with file counts
- Invoked via <invoke-protocol name="discover_inputs" /> tag in workflow instructions
### Advanced Elicitation Improvements
- Renamed adv-elicit.xml to advanced-elicitation.xml for clarity
- Updated all references across agents and commands
### Shard Document Tool Enhancement
- Added Step 6: Handle Original Document with three options:
- [d] Delete - Remove original (recommended, prevents confusion)
- [m] Move to archive - Backup original to archive folder
- [k] Keep - Warning about defeating sharding purpose
- Prevents issue where both whole and sharded versions exist, confusing discover_inputs protocol
## BMM Module - Input File Pattern Standardization
### Phase 1 - Analysis (1 workflow)
- product-brief: Added load_strategy (FULL_LOAD for research/brainstorming, INDEX_GUIDED for document_project)
- Updated instructions.md to use invoke-protocol, replaced manual fuzzy matching
### Phase 2 - Planning (4 workflows)
- prd: Added load_strategy, updated instructions to reference {product_brief_content}, {research_content}
- create-ux-design: Added load_strategy, removed fuzzy matching from instructions
- tech-spec: Added load_strategy for brownfield context discovery
- All epics patterns updated to support SELECTIVE_LOAD for specific epic shards
### Phase 3 - Solutioning (2 workflows)
- architecture: Added load_strategy, updated instructions to use pre-loaded {prd_content}, {epics_content}, {ux_design_content}
- solutioning-gate-check: Added load_strategy, replaced manual discovery with protocol invocation
### Phase 4 - Implementation (8 workflows)
- code-review: Added load_strategy, fixed sharded patterns to /*/*.md, added step 1.5 for protocol
- correct-course: Added complete input_file_patterns section (was missing), added step 0.5
- create-story: Added load_strategy, updated to SELECTIVE_LOAD for epics, added step 1.5
- dev-story: Added complete input_file_patterns section (was missing), added step 0.5
- epic-tech-context: Added load_strategy, updated PRD extraction to use {prd_content}, added step 1.5
- retrospective: Added load_strategy for architecture/prd (FULL_LOAD), epics (SELECTIVE_LOAD), added step 0.5
- sprint-planning: Fixed sharded pattern to load ALL epics (/*/*.md), added step 0.5
- story-context: Added load_strategy, updated doc collection to reference pre-loaded content, added step 1.5
### Sprint Artifacts Path Corrections
- story-done: Added missing sprint_artifacts variable, fixed sprint_status path from {context_dir} to {sprint_artifacts}
- story-ready: Added missing sprint_artifacts variable
- story-context: Fixed undefined {context_dir} -> {sprint_artifacts}
- correct-course: Added sprint_artifacts and sprint_status variables
## BMGD Module - Phase 4 Production Workflows (NEW)
Added complete Phase 4 implementation workflows for game development:
- code-review: Senior developer review for completed game features
- correct-course: Sprint change management for game projects
- create-story: Story generation for game mechanics/features
- dev-story: Feature implementation workflow
- epic-tech-context: Technical spec generation per game epic
- retrospective: Epic completion review and lessons learned
- sprint-planning: Game development sprint status tracking
- story-context: Dynamic context assembly for game stories
- story-done: Story completion workflow
- story-ready: Story readiness workflow
All BMGD workflows follow BMM patterns with game-specific adaptations.
## Agent Updates
### BMM Agents
- Updated all 7 BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer)
- Standardized web bundle configurations
### BMGD Agents
- Updated 4 game development agents (game-architect, game-designer, game-dev, game-scrum-master)
- Aligned with BMM agent structure
### CIS Agents
- Updated 5 creative intelligence agents for consistency
## Documentation & Configuration
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with Phase 4 workflow additions
- Updated files-manifest.csv and task-manifest.csv
- Updated .claude commands for all agents
- Fixed formatting issues from previous commits
## Breaking Changes
NONE - All changes are backward compatible. Workflows without input_file_patterns continue to work.
Workflows with input_file_patterns now benefit from intelligent auto-loading.
## Migration Notes
Existing workflows can gradually adopt discover_inputs protocol by:
1. Adding load_strategy to existing input_file_patterns in workflow.yaml
2. Adding <invoke-protocol name="discover_inputs" /> step in instructions.md
3. Replacing manual file loading with references to {pattern_name_content} variables

Major Enhancements:
...
- Installation path is now fully configurable, allowing users to specify custom installation directories during setup
- Default installation location changed to .bmad (hidden directory) for cleaner project root organization
Web Bundle Improvements:
- All web bundles (single agent and team) now include party mode support for multi-agent collaboration!
- Advanced elicitation capabilities integrated into standalone agents
- All bundles enhanced with party mode agent manifests
- Added default-party.csv files to bmm, bmgd, and cis module teams
- The default party file is what will be used with single agent bundles. teams can customize for different party configurations before web bundling through a setting in the team yaml file
- New web bundle outputs for all agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer, game-*, creative-squad)
Phase 4 Workflow Updates (In Progress):
- Initiated shift to separate phase 4 implementation artifacts from documentation
- Phase 4 implementation artifacts (stories, code review, sprint plan, context files) will move to dedicated location outside docs folder
- Installer questions and configuration added for artifact path selection
- Updated workflow.yaml files for code-review, sprint-planning, story-context, epic-tech-context, and retrospective workflows to support this, but still might require some udpates
Additional Changes:
- New agent and action command header models for standardization
- Enhanced web-bundle-activation-steps fragment
- Updated web-bundler.js to support new structure
- VS Code settings updated for new .bmad directory
- Party mode instructions and workflow enhanced for better orchestration
IDE Installer Updates:
- Show version number of installer in cli
- improved Installer UX
- Gemini TOML Improved to have clear loading instructions with @ commands
- All tools agent launcher mds improved to use a central file template critical indication isntead of hardcoding in 2 different locations.

fix: Add missing adv-elicit-methods.csv to workflow bundles
...
- Add adv-elicit-methods.csv dependency to all workflows using adv-elicit.xml
- architecture workflow
- prd workflow
- tech-spec workflow
- Include BMM web bundles (8 agents + team-fullstack)
- Update v6 open items list
This fixes runtime failures when advanced elicitation is invoked in bundled
workflows by ensuring the 39 elicitation methods CSV is properly included.
Note: Web bundler still has optimizations and known issues to address in
upcoming commits.

refactor: comprehensive workflow modernization and standardization
...
## Major Improvements
### 1. Elicitation System Modernization
- Removed legacy `<elicit-required />` tag from workflow.xml
- Replaced with direct `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` pattern
- More explicit, self-documenting, and eliminates indirection layer
- Added strategic elicitation points across all planning workflows:
- PRD: After success criteria, scope, functional requirements, and final review
- Create-Epics-And-Stories: After epic proposals and each epic's stories
- Architecture: After decisions, structure, patterns, implementation patterns, and final doc
- Updated audit-workflow tag scanner to remove obsolete elicit-required reference
### 2. Input Document Discovery Streamlined
- Replaced verbose 19-line "Input Document Discovery" sections with single critical tag
- New format: `<critical>Input documents specified in workflow.yaml input_file_patterns...</critical>`
- Eliminates duplication - workflow.yaml already defines patterns
- Updated across 6 workflows (PRD, create-epics-and-stories, architecture, tech-spec, UX, gate-check)
- Saved ~114 lines of repeated bloat
### 3. Scale System Migration (Levels 0-4 → 3 Tracks)
- Updated PRD workflow from "Level 0-4" to "Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise Method"
- Changed `project_level` variable to `project_track`
- Removed `target_scale` variable (no longer needed)
- Updated workflow.yaml descriptions to reference tracks not levels
- Updated checklist from "Level 2" and "Level 3-4" to "BMad Method" and "Enterprise Method"
- Aligns with new scale-adaptive-system.md (3-track methodology)
### 4. Epic/Story Template Standardization
- Replaced hardcoded 8-epic template with clean repeating pattern using N/M variables
- Added BDD-style acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then/And)
- Removed instructional bloat from templates (moved to instructions.md where it belongs)
- Template shows OUTPUT structure, instructions show PROCESS
- Applied to both create-epics-and-stories and tech-spec workflows
- Templates now use HTML comments to indicate repeating sections
### 5. Workflow.yaml Pattern Consistency
- Standardized input_file_patterns across all workflows
- Separated `recommended_inputs` (semantic WHAT) from `input_file_patterns` (file discovery WHERE)
- Removed duplication between recommended_inputs file paths and input_file_patterns
- Create-epics-and-stories now uses proper whole/sharded pattern like architecture workflow
- Solutioning-gate-check cleaned up to use semantic descriptions not file paths
## Files Changed (18)
- Core: workflow.xml (removed elicit-required tag and references)
- Audit workflow: Updated tag pattern scanner
- PRD workflow: Elicitation points, track migration, input discovery
- Create-epics-and-stories: Template rebuild, BDD format, elicitation, input patterns
- Tech-spec: Template rebuild, BDD format, input discovery
- UX Design: Input discovery streamlined
- Architecture: Elicitation at 5 key decision points, input discovery
- Gate-check: Input pattern cleanup, input discovery
## Impact
- More consistent elicitation across workflows
- Cleaner, more maintainable templates
- Better separation of concerns (templates vs instructions)
- Aligned with v6 3-track scale system
- Reduced bloat and duplication significantly
