- Skip module selection prompt during update/reinstall
- Keep all existing installed modules by default
- This prevents inquirer from showing modules as 'obsolete items' with confusing delete options
- Modules are now preserved during update/reinstall operations
- Fix getAgentsFromDir in bmad-artifacts.js to recursively scan subdirectories
- This ensures agents like cbt-coach and wellness-companion that are in subdirectories are properly found
- Agents now correctly get slash commands in .claude/commands/bmad/mwm/agents/
- All agents from the manifest now have corresponding IDE commands
- Updated getAgentsFromDir to search subdirectories for .md files
- Fixed installPath construction to include nested directory structure
- This ensures agents in subdirectories (like cbt-coach/cbt-coach.md) get added to agent-manifest.csv
- All agents now get proper CLI slash commands regardless of nesting depth
- Previously only scanned selectedModules, missing modules installed from custom locations
- Now scans the bmad directory to find all actually installed modules
- Any module with agents/workflows/tasks/tools will be included in manifests
- This fixes issue where MWM workflows weren't getting slash commands
- All modules now get equal treatment in IDE integration
- Added logic to create customize template files during agent compilation
- ModuleManager was only using existing customize files, not creating them
- Now customize.yaml files will be created for all module agents
- This fixes issue where agents in subdirectories had no customization support
Next: Need to fix agent-manifest.csv to find agents in subdirectories
- Module agents now discovered recursively at any depth in agents folder
- .agent.yaml files are compiled to .md format during module installation
- Custom agents also support subdirectory structure
- Agents maintain their directory structure when installed
- YAML files are skipped during file copying as they're compiled separately
- Added compileModuleAgents method to handle YAML-to-MD compilation
- Updated discoverAgents to recursively search for .agent.yaml files
- Agents in subdirectories are properly placed in _cfg/agents with relative paths
This fixes issue where agents like cbt-coach were not being compiled
and were only copied as YAML files.

- Removed hardcoded module locations (bmad-custom-src, etc.)
- Modules can exist anywhere with _module-installer/install-config.yaml
- All modules treated equally regardless of location
- No special UI handling for 'custom' modules
- Core module excluded from selection list (always installed first)
- Only install-config.yaml is valid (removed support for legacy config.yaml)
Modules are now discovered by structure, not location.

The agent build caching never worked - BUILD-META comments were
never written to output files, so every build acted like --force.
Since building all 29 agents takes ~300ms, caching provided no
meaningful benefit. Removed ~190 lines of dead code including
checkIfNeedsRebuild, checkBuildStatus, buildMetadataComment,
and the --force flag.

The manifest writer hardcoded 'bmad' as the path prefix regardless of
the actual folder name (.bmad, bmad, etc). The reader had a matching
hardcoded strip, so it worked by accident.
Now paths are stored relative to bmadDir without any prefix. Legacy
fallback strips 'bmad/' on read - safe because no real path inside
bmadDir would start with 'bmad/'.

## Summary
- Track all files with TTS injection applied during installation
- Display informative summary explaining what TTS injection does
- Show backup location and restore command for recovery
## What is TTS Injection?
TTS (Text-to-Speech) injection adds voice instructions to BMAD agents,
enabling them to speak their responses aloud using AgentVibes.
Example: When you activate the PM agent, it will greet you with
spoken audio like "Hey! I'm your Project Manager. How can I help?"
## Changes
- **installer.js**: Track files in `processAgentFiles()`, `buildStandaloneAgents()`,
and `rebuildAgentFiles()` when TTS markers are processed
- **compiler.js**: Add TTS injection support for custom agent compilation
- **ui.js**: Enhanced installation summary showing:
- Explanation of what TTS injection is with example
- List of all files with TTS injection applied (grouped by type)
- Backup location (~/.bmad-tts-backups/)
- Restore command for recovery

- **New documentation**: Added CSV data standards, intent vs prescriptive spectrum, and common tools reference
## Complete Migration Status
- **4 workflows fully migrated**: `create-agent`, `edit-agent`, `create-workflow`, and `edit-workflow` now use the new granular step-file architecture
- **Legacy transformation**: `edit-workflow` includes built-in capability to transform legacy single-file workflows into the new improved granular format
- **Future cleanup**: Legacy versions will be removed in a future commit after validation
## Schema Updates
- **Multi-menu support**: Updated agent schema to support `triggers` array for grouped menu items
- **Legacy compatibility**: Maintains backward compatibility with single `trigger` field
- **Discussion enhancements**: Added conversational_knowledge recommendation for discussion agents
## File Structure Changes
- Added: `create-agent/`, `edit-agent/`, `edit-workflow/`, `workflow-compliance-check/` workflows

* feat: Add provider-agnostic TTS integration via injection point system
Implements comprehensive Text-to-Speech integration for BMAD agents using a generic
TTS_INJECTION marker system. When AgentVibes (or any compatible TTS provider) is
installed, all BMAD agents can speak their responses with unique AI voices.
## Key Features
**Provider-Agnostic Architecture**
- Uses generic `TTS_INJECTION` markers instead of vendor-specific naming
- Future-proof for multiple TTS providers beyond AgentVibes
- Clean separation - BMAD stays TTS-agnostic, providers handle injection
**Installation Flow**
- BMAD → AgentVibes: TTS instructions injected when AgentVibes detects existing BMAD installation
- AgentVibes → BMAD: TTS instructions injected during BMAD installation when AgentVibes detected
- User must manually create voice assignment file when AgentVibes installs first (documented limitation)
**Party Mode Voice Support**
- Each agent speaks with unique assigned voice in multi-agent discussions
- PM, Architect, Developer, Analyst, UX Designer, etc. - all with distinct voices
**Zero Breaking Changes**
- Fully backward compatible - works without any TTS provider
- `TTS_INJECTION` markers are benign HTML comments if not processed
- No changes to existing agent behavior or non-TTS workflows
## Implementation Details
**Files Modified:**
- `tools/cli/installers/lib/core/installer.js` - TTS injection processing logic
- `tools/cli/lib/ui.js` - AgentVibes detection and installation prompts
- `tools/cli/commands/install.js` - Post-install guidance for AgentVibes setup
- `src/utility/models/fragments/activation-rules.xml` - TTS_INJECTION marker for agents
- `src/core/workflows/party-mode/instructions.md` - TTS_INJECTION marker for party mode
**Injection Point System:**
```xml
<rules>
- ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}
<!-- TTS_INJECTION:agent-tts -->
- Stay in character until exit selected
</rules>
```
When AgentVibes is detected, the installer replaces this marker with:
```
- When responding to user messages, speak your responses using TTS:
Call: `.claude/hooks/bmad-speak.sh '{agent-id}' '{response-text}'` after each response
IMPORTANT: Use single quotes - do NOT escape special characters like ! or $
```
**Special Character Handling:**
- Explicit guidance to use single quotes without escaping
- Prevents "backslash exclamation" artifacts in speech
**User Experience:**
```
User: "How should we architect this feature?"
Architect: [Text response] + 🔊 [Professional voice explains architecture]
```
Party Mode:
```
PM (John): "I'll focus on user value..." 🔊 [Male professional voice]
UX Designer (Sara): "From a user perspective..." 🔊 [Female voice]
Architect (Marcus): "The technical approach..." 🔊 [Male technical voice]
```
## Testing
**Unit Tests:** ✅ 62/62 passing
- 49/49 schema validation tests
- 13/13 installation component tests
**Integration Testing:**
- ✅ BMAD → AgentVibes (automatic injection)
- ✅ AgentVibes → BMAD (automatic injection)
- ✅ No TTS provider (markers remain as comments)
## Documentation
Comprehensive testing guide created with:
- Both installation scenario walkthroughs
- Verification commands and expected outputs
- Troubleshooting guidance
## Known Limitations
**AgentVibes → BMAD Installation Order:**
When AgentVibes installs first, voice assignment file must be created manually:
```bash
mkdir -p .bmad/_cfg
cat > .bmad/_cfg/agent-voice-map.csv << 'EOF'
agent_id,voice_name
pm,en_US-ryan-high
architect,en_US-danny-low
dev,en_US-joe-medium
EOF
```
This limitation exists to prevent false legacy v4 detection warnings from BMAD installer.
**Recommended:** Install BMAD first, then AgentVibes for automatic voice assignment.
## Related Work
**Companion Implementation:**
- Repository: paulpreibisch/AgentVibes
- Commits: 6 commits implementing injection processing and voice routing
- Features: Retroactive injection, file path extraction, escape stripping
**GitHub Issues:**
- paulpreibisch/AgentVibes#36 - BMAD agent ID support
## Breaking Changes
None. Feature is opt-in and requires separate TTS provider installation.

* fix: Enforce project hooks over global hooks in party mode
before, claude would sometimes favor global agent vibes hooks over project specific
* feat: Automate AgentVibes installer invocation after BMAD install
Instead of showing manual installation instructions, the installer now:
- Prompts "Press Enter to start AgentVibes installer..."
- Automatically runs npx agentvibes@latest install
- Handles errors gracefully with fallback instructions
This provides a seamless installation flow matching the test script's
interactive approach.

* fix: Add shell: true to npx execSync to prevent permission denied error
The execSync call for 'npx agentvibes@latest install' was failing with
'Permission denied' because the shell was trying to execute 'agentvibes@latest'
directly instead of passing it as an argument to npx.
Adding shell: true ensures the command runs in a proper shell context
where npx can correctly interpret the @latest version syntax.

* fix: Remove duplicate AgentVibes installation step from test script
The test script was calling AgentVibes installer twice:
1. BMAD installer now automatically runs AgentVibes (new feature)
2. Test script had a separate Step 6 that also ran AgentVibes
This caused the installer to run twice, with the second call failing
because it was already installed.
Changes:
- Removed redundant Step 6 (AgentVibes installation)
- Updated Step 5 to indicate it includes AgentVibes
- Updated step numbers from 7 to 6 throughout
- Added guidance that AgentVibes runs automatically
Now the flow is cleaner: BMAD installer handles everything!

The correct command to start Claude is 'claude', not 'claude-code'.
Updated line 362-363 in test-bmad-pr.sh to show the correct command.
* fix: Remove npm link from test script to avoid global namespace pollution
- Removed 'npm link' command that was installing BMAD globally
- Changed 'bmad install' to direct node execution using local clone
- Updated success message to reflect no global installation
This keeps testing fully isolated and prevents conflicts with:
- Existing BMAD installations
- Future official BMAD installs
- Orphaned symlinks when test directory is deleted
The test script now runs completely self-contained without modifying
the user's global npm environment.

## Problem
Custom agents showed generic names (like "Commit Poet") instead of their
actual persona names (like "Inkwell Von Comitizen") in the agent manifest.
## Root Cause
The extractManifestData function was using metadata.name/title instead of
extracting the persona name from the compiled agent XML.
## Solution
1. Added extractAgentAttribute function to pull attributes from <agent> tag
2. Prioritize XML extraction over metadata for persona info:
- displayName: uses agent title attribute from XML
- title: uses agent title attribute from XML
- icon: uses agent icon attribute from XML
- Falls back to metadata if XML extraction fails
## Result
Custom agents now display their actual persona names in manifests:
- Before: "Commit Poet"
- After: "Inkwell Von Comitizen"
This provides better user experience with proper agent identification
in IDE integrations and manifests.
