* fix(workflows): remove ambiguous with-argument from help task chaining
The "with argument" clause in 7 workflow completion steps caused LLMs
to interpret "Read fully and follow: help.md with argument X" as a
skill/function invocation rather than a file-read instruction. Drop the
clause entirely — help.md already infers the completed workflow from
the preceding "[Workflow] complete." text in conversation context.
Closes#1637
* fix(workflows): correct broken qa/automate file references
The QA workflow was renamed to qa-generate-e2e-tests but three files
still referenced the old qa/automate path, breaking CI file-ref
validation.
* fix(test): update QA agent test to match renamed workflow path
The workflow path changed from qa/automate to qa-generate-e2e-tests
but the installation component test was not updated to match.

- Add comprehensive public roadmap with In Progress, Getting Started, and Community sections
- Add roadmap callout to README.md and docs welcome page
- Add roadmap-specific card grid styles with equal-height cards
- Fix rehype-markdown-links plugin to detect docs directory in various project structures
- Rename roadmap.md to roadmap.mdx for proper Astro/Starlight rendering
- Update doc link validator to support .mdx files
This change removes the disable-model-invocation flag from all IDE installer
templates. By allowing model invocation, bmad help can now properly invoke
suggested workflows as direct skill calls, improving the user experience by
enabling automatic workflow execution when desired.
- Standardize all workflow descriptions to follow format: [short description]. Use when the user says 'explicit action phrase' or 'another phrase'
- Remove verbose descriptions in favor of concise summaries with explicit trigger phrases
- Use max 2 phrases per workflow to minimize context and false positives
- Phrases are explicit actions (e.g., "lets create", "run X") not questions
- No slash commands in descriptions - users invoke via /name directly
- Rename qa/automate to qa-generate-e2e-tests for clarity
- Update various core tasks and workflows
* feat: migrate Codex installer from .codex/prompts to .agents/skills format
Switch CodexSetup to write BMAD artifacts as Agent Skills (agentskills.io
format) in .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md instead of flat files in
.codex/prompts. Remove global/project location prompt. Add legacy cleanup
of old .codex/prompts directories during install and uninstall.

* ignore .agents for codex
* fix: normalize line endings and use platform-native EOL in SKILL.md output
Normalize all content to LF in transformToSkillFormat, then convert to
os.EOL (CRLF on Windows, LF on Linux/macOS) before writing SKILL.md
files in both writeSkillArtifacts and installCustomAgentLauncher.

tools/audit-file-refs.md — a repeatable prompt that spawns parallel
Haiku subagents to semantically audit new-format source files for
non-conforming file references. Includes a self-check that verifies
all files are accounted for before producing the final report.
Replaces the planned regex extension (Item 1 of the master plan) with
an approach that can handle the full surface area of reference patterns
without exhaustive pattern enumeration.
Also excludes .junie/ from Prettier checks (IDE integration folder,
user-specific, not in repo).

from 'architecture' to 'create-architecture'
- create-story/checklist.md: fix 2 refs from validate-workflow.xml
to workflow.xml (file does not exist with validate- prefix)
- package.json: add --strict to validate:refs so broken references
fail CI instead of logging warnings and exiting 0

* fix(installer): add custom Rovo Dev installer with prompts.yml generation
Rovo Dev CLI requires a .rovodev/prompts.yml manifest to register prompts
for /prompts access. The config-driven installer was writing .md files but
never generating this manifest, so /prompts showed nothing.
- Create custom rovodev.js installer extending BaseIdeSetup
- Generate prompts.yml indexing all written workflow files
- Merge with existing user entries (only touch bmad- prefixed entries)
- Remove stale rovo entry from tools/platform-codes.yaml
Closes#1466
* fix(installer): prefix prompts.yml descriptions with entry name
The /prompts list in Rovo Dev only shows descriptions, making it hard
to identify entries. Prefix each description with the bmad entry name
so users see e.g. "bmad-bmm-create-prd - PRD workflow..." instead of
just the description text.
* refactor(installer): address review findings in Rovo Dev installer
- Hoist toDashPath import to module top level
- Extract _collectPromptEntries helper replacing 3 duplicated loops
- Remove unused detectionPaths (detect() is overridden)
- Guard generatePromptsYml when writtenFiles is empty
- Align cleanup() with detect() predicate (remove any bmad-*, not just .md)
- Use BaseIdeSetup abstractions (this.pathExists/readFile/writeFile) in cleanup()
- Update loadHandlers() JSDoc to include rovodev.js

* fix: replace bare _bmad/ backtick refs with {project-root}/_bmad/
Closes#1718 (partial — bare _bmad/ category only)
* fix: replace relative step refs with {project-root}/_bmad/ paths
Converts all ./step-XX.md, step-XX.md, and steps/step-XX.md
backtick references in new-format workflow and step files to
full {project-root}/_bmad/... paths.
Refs #1718
* fix: correct create-architecture installed path and remaining relative refs
- replace create-architecture with architecture in all step path refs
to match workflow.md installed_path definition
- convert ../data/ relative refs in create-prd step-05/06/11 frontmatter
- fix stale nextStepFile example in create-prd step-01b-continue
- fix bare step-01-init.md ref in create-architecture step-01b-continue
Fixes#1718
* fix: convert remaining relative data refs and fix stale examples in continue steps
* fix: inline quick-spec step navigation paths, remove frontmatter tokens
Replace {nextStepFile} and {skipToStepFile} frontmatter tokens with
explicit {project-root}/_bmad/ paths in all quick-spec step files.
These are LLM prompts, not config files -- inline paths are clearer
and carry semantic information without indirection. Also standardize
wording from "Load" to "Read fully and follow:" for consistency.
Also add .junie/ to .prettierignore to fix unrelated CI noise.

The 4-backtick markdown fence closed prematurely at line 235,
orphaning template content and causing a stray 3-backtick fence
to swallow sections 9-13 into an unclosed code block.
Windsurf is no longer a preferred IDE. Only Claude Code and Cursor
are now recommended. Windsurf remains a supported platform (installer
still works, templates stay, reference tables stay).
- Set preferred: false in both platform-codes.yaml files
- Move windsurf entry to "Other IDEs" section in tools/platform-codes.yaml
- Fix codex.js hardcoding preferred: true in constructor
- Remove stale "3 preferred tools" count from ui.js JSDoc
- Update docs to list only Claude Code and Cursor as recommended
- Update docs/index.md popular tools to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI
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
Users running npx bmad-method install may get a stale beta version
due to npx caching. Added explicit version pin as a workaround.

Adds a new "Extend and Customize" section with a link to the BMad Builder documentation for users interested in creating custom agents, workflows, or modules.
- Update README to reflect V6 stable release and platform positioning
- Emphasize BMad Method as a module within the Module Ecosystem
- Simplify quick start and module sections
- Add Discord, GitHub, and YouTube links to installer next steps
The PRD workflow step-02 was refactored to be discovery-only with
forward references to steps 2b and 2c, but those files were never
created. This left a gap where the workflow jumped from classification
directly to success criteria with no executive summary generation.
- Add step-02b-vision.md: collaborative vision/differentiator discovery
- Add step-02c-executive-summary.md: generate and append exec summary
- Update step-02 nextStepFile to chain through 02b instead of skipping to 03
Adds bmad-os-diataxis-style-fix skill that automatically fixes
documentation to comply with the Diataxis framework and BMad
Method style guide rules.
- Includes Diataxis framework primer (4 document types)
- References main docs/_STYLE_GUIDE.md as single source of truth
- Detects doc type by folder location
- Applies fixes without committing (user reviews first)
* fix custom install bug
* fix manager.js
* From PR #1624: added empty module.yaml handling (skip + warn) and removed paths from the config to match promptCustomContentSource()
* fix: custom-content quick-update ENOENT, pass --custom-content through, add PR#1624 improvements to allow update installs to work using non-interactive mode
- Move "Module configuration complete" to appear after all customization
prompts finish, not just after defaults are applied
- Change spinner stop message to "Module defaults applied" for clarity
when customization follows; keep "Module configuration complete" for
express mode where no customization prompts follow
- Remove extra blank line before post-install notes
- Wrap spinner loop in try/finally for error safety

* 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): address code review findings for uninstall command
- Add path traversal guard in uninstallOutputFolder (resolve + startsWith)
- Thread silent flag through to cleanupCopilotInstructions
- Trim text input before path.resolve in directory prompt
- DRY uninstall() by delegating to extracted helper methods
- Validate projectDir existence before probing for BMAD
- Use fs.rmdir instead of fs.remove in removeEmptyParents (race safety)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(cli): add destructive action warning and confirm before uninstall
Move warning box after component selection and add a confirmation prompt
defaulting to No, so users see the irreversibility warning right before
the point of no return. Non-interactive --yes mode skips both.

Remove hallucinated mode: primary from opencode-agent template - OpenCode
defaults to mode: all and mode: primary does not enable Tab-switching as
the original PR #1556 claimed. Restore the name frontmatter field across
all OpenCode templates to match the standard pattern used by other IDEs.
- Remove YAML quotes from principles list item (consistency with other agents)
- Add missing comma: "at runtime never" → "at runtime, never" (run-on fix)

* fix: remove output_folder/story_dir aliases, flatten variables sections (#1602)
Drop pointless alias variables (output_folder, story_dir, story_directory)
from Phase 4, Quick Flow, and QA workflows. Replace all references with
the canonical {implementation_artifacts} or {planning_artifacts} variables.
Also flatten unnecessary `variables:` YAML nesting in all affected
workflow.yaml files — the workflow engine treats all keys as top-level,
so the nesting added complexity with no semantic value.

* fix: add missing config declarations, remove remaining aliases and dead variables
- Add missing document_output_language and user_skill_level to create-story
(referenced in instructions.xml but never declared)
- Remove retrospectives_folder alias, replace with canonical implementation_artifacts
- Remove unused sprint_status and duplicate validation alias from correct-course
- Remove unused date, planning_artifacts, tracking_system from sprint-status
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: address PR review findings and rename shadowed output_folder variable
- Fix single/double brace mismatch for {implementation_artifacts} in
create-story instructions.xml (F1)
- Remove escaped asterisks in glob patterns in retrospective
instructions.md (F2)
- Eliminate redundant {config_source} re-resolution for story_location
in sprint-planning workflow.yaml (F5)
- Add explicit instruction to discover previous_story_num by scanning
artifacts instead of leaving it undefined (#7)
- Rename output_folder to project_knowledge in document-project
workflows to stop shadowing the canonical core config variable (#13)

* fix: use plural retrospectives in previous retro search instructions
The glob pattern can match multiple retrospective files for the same
epic (e.g., partial mid-sprint retro and full completion retro). Use
plural "retrospectives" to make clear the LLM should load all matches.
