- Narrow except Exception to (tomllib.TOMLDecodeError, OSError) in
resolve-customization.py and all copies
- Re-add scripts/ exclusion to _config-driven.js IDE installer path
- Update draft-and-review.md to reference "enabled lenses" not "all three"
fs-extra routes all operations through graceful-fs, which globally
monkey-patches node:fs with a deferred retry queue. During multi-module
installs (~500+ file ops), retried unlink operations from one module's
remove phase can fire after the next module's copy phase has written
files, silently deleting them non-deterministically.
Replace fs-extra with a thin fs-native.js wrapper over node:fs/promises
and node:fs. All 21 consumers now use native APIs with no global
monkey-patching, eliminating the retry-queue race condition entirely.
Closes#1779
* chore(installer): remove dead code across installer modules
Delete 3 entirely dead files (agent-command-generator, bmad-artifacts,
module-injections) and remove ~50 unused exports from manifest.js,
cli-utils.js, prompts.js, path-utils.js, official-modules.js,
external-manager.js, custom-module-manager.js, and registry-client.js.
Removes corresponding dead tests.
* fix(installer): restore currentProjectDir writes for placeholder expansion
The previous commit removed the three assignments to
OfficialModules.currentProjectDir as dead code, but buildQuestion()
still reads the property to resolve {directory_name} placeholders in
module config defaults during interactive collection. Without the
writes, any module default containing {directory_name} would surface
the literal placeholder to users.
The legacy agent-command-generator, bmad-artifacts helpers, and all 26
IDE template files (combined/ and split/) are unreachable dead code.
The installer now uses verbatim SKILL.md directory copying -- no template
rendering occurs. The files own TODO comments confirm retirement.
* refactor(installer): remove custom content installation feature
Remove the entire local filesystem custom content feature from the
installer to make way for marketplace-based plugin installation.
Deleted: custom-handler.js, custom-module-cache.js, custom-modules.js
Removed: --custom-content CLI flag, interactive custom content prompts,
custom module caching, manifest tracking, missing-source resolution,
and related test suites. Updated docs across all translations.
* fix: address review findings from Augment
Fix admonition syntax (remove accidental space in :::note) across 4
translated docs files, and update stale JSDoc on listAvailable().
* feat(installer): fetch module list from marketplace registry
Switch module list source of truth from bundled
external-official-modules.yaml to the remote marketplace registry
(registry/official.yaml) fetched via raw.githubusercontent.com.
- Rewrite ExternalModuleManager to fetch from GitHub with local fallback
- Simplify selectAllModules/getDefaultModules to use registry as single source
- Registry order controls display order; built_in flag prevents cloning
- Rename fallback file to registry-fallback.yaml in modules/
- Only show legacy migration message when legacy dirs actually exist
* chore(install): stop copying skill prompts to _bmad by default
Flip install_to_bmad default from true to false so skill directories
are cleaned from _bmad/ after IDE install. Skills are self-contained
in their IDE directories (.claude/skills/, etc.) and no longer need
duplicate copies in _bmad/.
Two skills (bmad-create-prd, bmad-validate-prd) opt back in via
explicit manifests because bmad-edit-prd cross-references their data
files. Also fixes broken bmm-skills/ path references and corrects
the file-ref validator module-to-source mapping.

* refactor(install): make edit-prd self-contained and remove install_to_bmad
Give bmad-edit-prd its own copy of prd-purpose.md and replace the
cross-skill validation workflow reference with a skill invocation, so
all three PRD skills are fully self-contained. With no remaining
consumers, remove the install_to_bmad flag from manifests, CSV output,
the post-install cleanup loop, and the dedicated test file.
* feat(install): clean up skill directories from _bmad after IDE install
Skills are self-contained in IDE directories, so _bmad/ only needs
module-level files (config.yaml, _config/). After all IDE setups
complete, remove skill directories from _bmad/ via skill-manifest.csv.
Also cleans up skill dirs left by older installer versions.
* test(install): drop stale install_to_bmad column from suite 27 CSV row

* feat(installer): overhaul branding, versioning, and skill cleanup
Logo and branding:
- Responsive logo: full "BMAD METHOD" at >=95 cols, "BMAD" for narrower terminals
- Color scheme updated from yellow to blue (matching bmadcode.com brand)
- Added copyright notice and tagline in white for contrast
- Removed version number from logo (individual module versions shown in summary)
- Added ™ to both wide and narrow logo variants
Installer start message:
- Replaced outdated V6 launch announcement with clean welcome
- Consolidated redundant module/platform messaging into single intro
- Tightened open source manifesto (same spirit, fewer words)
- Merged speaking/media into support section with contact email
- Added full social links: Website, Discord, YouTube, X, Facebook
- Replaced docs.bmad-method.org and changelog links with bmadcode.com hub
Install summary improvements:
- Module names now show full display names from module.yaml (not abbreviations)
- All module versions sourced from .claude-plugin/marketplace.json exclusively
- Summary shows version transitions: "v6.2.2 -> v6.3.0", "v6.3.0, no change",
or "v6.3.0, installed" for fresh installs
- Switched summary from clack note() to box() for full-brightness text
- Removed dim/gray styling that was hard to read on dark terminals
- Links styled with color.blue instead of color.dim
- Get started section leads with actionable steps (launch agent, run bmad-help)
- Removed redundant social links (already shown in start message)
Version source unification:
- All module versions now come from .claude-plugin/marketplace.json only
- Removed package.json as version source for core/bmm modules
- Updated manifest.js getModuleVersionInfo() to use marketplace.json
- Updated installer.js _getMarketplaceVersion() helper
- Updated ui.js getMarketplaceVersion() for module selection display
- Quick Update menu no longer shows misleading version (was using package.json)
- Module selection list now shows versions next to each module name
Skill cleanup overhaul:
- Replaced blunt-force bmad-* prefix deletion with surgical removal system
- Added removals.txt support: optional per-project file listing skills to remove
- Created initial removals.txt with all skills removed since v6.2.0
- Install/update: captures previously installed skill IDs from skill-manifest.csv
before manifest regeneration, then removes those + removals.txt entries
- Uninstall: removes all installed skills via skill-manifest.csv + removals.txt
- Deselecting modules now correctly removes their skills from IDE directories
- User-created bmad-* skills in IDE directories are no longer destroyed
- Legacy directory cleanup retains prefix matching (those dirs are abandoned)
Bug fixes:
- Fixed duplicate "CORE module already up to date" during quick update
- Fixed version display showing package.json version instead of actual module version
- Updated test fixture for bmad-os-* preservation test to use skill-manifest.csv
* fix(installer): address Augment review findings
- Fix plugins[0] fragility: extract highest version across all plugins
in marketplace.json instead of assuming first entry (ui.js, installer.js,
manifest.js)
- Fix _readMarketplaceVersion ignoring moduleSourcePath: custom modules
can now source their own marketplace.json by walking up from source path
- Hard-exclude bmad-os-* utility skills in both surgical and legacy cleanup
modes, preventing accidental deletion if tracked in manifests
- Distinguish missing file vs parse error in skill-manifest.csv reading:
warn on corrupt CSV instead of silently skipping cleanup
* fix(installer): resolve module source before reading marketplace version
Move _readMarketplaceVersion call after source type resolution so custom
modules use their own source path instead of falling back to the external
module cache, which could match a different module with the same code.
Kilo Code now supports Agent Skills. Remove the suspended flag,
restore it in the IDE picker, and replace the suspended test suite
with a full native-skills installation test.
- Remove suspended message from platform-codes.yaml
- Rewrite test suite 22: config, IDE picker, install, skill output,
legacy cleanup, and reinstall assertions
- Update migration checklist to reflect active status

The ancestor directory walk was based on the false premise that IDEs
like Claude Code inherit skills from parent directories — they do not.
The check blocked legitimate installations when unrelated BMAD skills
existed anywhere up the directory tree.
* feat: add Junie platform support with .agents/skills target
Co-authored-by: Junie <junie@jetbrains.com>
* fix: disable ancestor_conflict_check for Junie platform
Junie does not traverse ancestor directories looking for skills,
so ancestor_conflict_check should be false.

* 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.
