The getting-started tutorial referenced agents and workflows by name
(e.g., "Load the PM agent", "Run the prd workflow") without providing
the actual commands to type. This adds the exact slash commands inline
alongside the existing prose so new users know precisely what to run.
* docs: radical reduction of documentation scope for v6 beta
Archive and basement unreviewed content to ship a focused, minimal doc set.
Changes:
- Archive stale how-to workflow guides (will rewrite for v6)
- Archive outdated explanation and reference content
- Move unreviewed content to basement for later review
- Reorganize TEA docs into dedicated /tea/ section
- Add workflow-map visual reference page
- Simplify getting-started tutorial and sidebar navigation
- Add explanation pages: brainstorming, adversarial-review, party-mode,
quick-flow, advanced-elicitation
- Fix base URL handling for subdirectory deployments (GitHub Pages forks)
The goal is a minimal, accurate doc set for beta rather than
comprehensive but potentially misleading content.

* refactor: restructure BMM and agents documentation by consolidating and flattening index files.
---------

* Add interactive workflow guide page
Replace confusing static SVG workflow diagram with an interactive
guide at /workflow-guide. Users select their track (Quick Flow,
BMad Method, Enterprise) and see relevant phases, agents, commands,
and outputs. Update link validator to recognize custom page routes.

* Add visual dev loop indicator to workflow guide
Wrap create-story, dev-story, and code-review in a dashed border
group with a "Repeat for each story" label to clearly communicate
the iterative development cycle in Phase 4.

* Simplify workflow guide to vertical slash command flow
Replace expandable phase cards with a clean vertical flow showing
slash commands as the primary element, with down arrows between
steps, agent badges, required/optional status, and concise
descriptions. Add prominent /bmad-help callout and note that
agent loading is optional.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Simplify README Quick Start with numbered command flows
Replace wordy paragraphs and track table with two clear numbered
paths (Quick Flow: 3 commands, BMad Method: 6 steps) and a
prominent /bmad-help callout as the primary guidance mechanism.

* Add Party Mode to README, /bmad-help to getting-started
Add Party Mode bullet to Why BMad section, note about agent-based
usage as an alternative to direct workflows, and a /bmad-help
mention in the getting-started tutorial after installation.

* Fix workflow-guide links to use relative paths
The /workflow-guide absolute path breaks with non-root base paths.
Use relative paths since workflow-guide is a custom Astro page
outside the docs collection. Docs-to-docs links keep the /docs/
pattern which the rehype plugin handles.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Revert workflow-guide links to absolute paths
Use /workflow-guide to match the /docs/ convention used throughout.
Works correctly on the production site where base path is /.

* 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).
