Three small revisions applied uniformly to all three shims
(bmad-create-prd, bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd):
- Tighten the frontmatter description to a single sentence naming the
intent and signaling v7 removal.
- Drop the redundant "On failure, surface the diagnostic and halt."
trailer from the resolve-customization step; resolve_customization.py
surfaces errors itself.
- Extend the user-facing deprecation notice to clarify that legacy
override fields still resolve under bmad-prd, so migration is for
unlocking new fields rather than restoring lost functionality.
Re-adds bmad-create-prd, bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd as thin
compatibility shims so existing invocations by name and
_bmad/custom/bmad-{create,edit,validate}-prd.toml override files keep
working post-consolidation. Each shim contains only SKILL.md and
customize.toml — no steps, data, or templates.
On activation, each shim:
1. Resolves customization via resolve_customization.py, picking up any
legacy override files for the four legacy fields (activation_steps_*,
persistent_facts, on_complete).
2. Emits a one-time deprecation notice in {communication_language},
pointing at bmad-prd and the migration path for override files.
3. Invokes bmad-prd with the appropriate intent (create / update /
validate), passes through the resolved legacy customization with
instruction to use these values instead of re-resolving from
bmad-prd's own customize.toml, and forwards the original user input
verbatim.
bmad-prd continues to read its own customize.toml + bmad-prd.toml
overrides for the new-only fields (prd_template, validation_checklist,
doc_standards, output_dir, output_folder_name, external_sources,
external_handoffs, validation_report_template). Users wanting those
fields must migrate to invoking bmad-prd directly.
Removes the three separate PRD skills (create, edit, validate) in favor of the
unified bmad-prd skill. Updates module-help.csv, PM agent menu, workflow map,
getting-started tutorial, commands reference, customize/help SKILL.md examples,
and the website workflow-map diagram. Adds Recipe 6 (Advanced Integration
Patterns) to expand-bmad-for-your-org.md covering external_sources,
external_handoffs, doc_standards, and swappable templates.
* feat(skills): add TOML workflow customization to 17 bmm-skills
Flattens each skill's workflow.md into SKILL.md and adds a customize.toml
surface with a 6-step activation block (resolve_customization, prepend,
persistent_facts, config, greet, append). Core-skills and developer
execution skills (dev-story, code-review, sprint-planning, sprint-status,
quick-dev, checkpoint-preview) are intentionally excluded.
Customized: document-project, prfaq, domain/market/technical-research,
create-prd, create-ux-design, edit-prd, validate-prd,
check-implementation-readiness, create-architecture,
create-epics-and-stories, generate-project-context, correct-course,
create-story, qa-generate-e2e-tests, retrospective.
* fix(skills): address PR review findings on workflow customization
- bmad-create-story: drop stale {project_context} variable reference
from step 2 note; content is already loaded via persistent_facts
- research skills (market/domain/technical): derive research_topic_slug
before writing output filename to prevent path injection and invalid
filesystem characters
- bmad-correct-course: reconcile step 1 verify list and HALT with the
"Missing documents" rule — Architecture and UI/UX are optional, HALT
only fires when PRD or Epics are missing
- fix grammar in Micro-file Design bullets across 5 migrated skills
(self contained → self-contained, adhere too 1 file → adhere to one
file at a time)
- docs/how-to/customize-bmad.md: document workflow activation order
and frame the baseline fields as a stable initial pass with targeted
per-workflow customization points coming later
* refactor: consolidate agents into phase-based skill directories
Remove separate agent/workflow/skill directories (src/bmm/agents,
src/bmm/workflows, src/core/skills, src/utility/agent-components) and
reorganize all content into phase-based structures under src/bmm-skills
(1-analysis, 2-plan-workflows, 3-solutioning, 4-implementation) and
src/core-skills. Eliminates the agent/skill distinction by treating
agents as skills within their workflow phase.
* fix: update broken file references to use new bmm-skills paths
* docs: update all references for unified bmad-quick-dev workflow
Remove all references to the old separate bmad-quick-spec and
bmad-quick-dev-new-preview workflows. The new bmad-quick-dev is a
unified workflow that handles intent clarification, planning,
implementation, review, and presentation in a single run.
Updated files across English docs, Chinese translations, source
skill manifests, website diagram, and build tooling.
