Two bugs combined to produce an empty agent-manifest.csv:
1. collectAgents() only scanned {module}/agents/ directories, but agents
live at various paths (bmm/1-analysis/bmad-agent-analyst/,
cis/skills/bmad-cis-agent-*, etc.). Now walks the full module tree.
2. All 9 BMM agent manifests declared type: skill instead of type: agent.
The manifest generator requires type: agent to include a directory in
agent-manifest.csv. CIS, GDS, TEA, and WDS already had the correct type.
Changes:
- Fix 9 BMM bmad-skill-manifest.yaml files: type: skill → type: agent
- Replace collectAgents/getAgentsFromDir with full-tree recursive scan
- Module field from manifest file always takes precedence over directory
- Remove dead skillManifest load (legacy .md agent support removed)
- Add TODO in bmad-artifacts.js documenting legacy agent pipeline as dead code
- Add 10 regression tests covering BMM, CIS, and GDS directory layouts
Replace execSync with execFileSync in npx wrapper so that
argument values containing spaces (e.g. --user-name "CI Bot")
are passed as discrete array elements instead of being split
by the shell.

* fix(docs): correct Hasselhoff spelling, add locale-aware 404 redirect
Fix "Hasslehoff" → "Hasselhoff" typo in customize-bmad.md across all
three locales (en, zh-cn, fr).
Add client-side locale detection to 404.astro so GitHub Pages serves
the correct localized 404 page instead of always showing English.

* refactor(installer): discover skills by SKILL.md instead of manifest YAML
Switch skill discovery gate from requiring bmad-skill-manifest.yaml with
type: skill to detecting any directory with a valid SKILL.md (frontmatter
name + description, name matches directory name). Delete 34 stub manifests
that carried no data beyond type: skill. Agent manifests (9) are retained
for persona metadata consumed by agent-manifest.csv.
* refactor(installer): remove dead task/tool/workflow manifest code
The remove-skill-manifest-yaml branch deleted the scanners that
discover tasks, tools, and workflows but left behind the code that
writes their manifest CSVs. Remove collectTasks/Tools/Workflows,
writeTaskManifest/ToolManifest/WorkflowManifest, their helpers, and
the now-unreachable getPreservedCsvRows/upgradeRowToSchema methods.
Update installer pre-registration and test assertions accordingly.

* refactor(installer): remove dead agent compilation pipeline
Delete 9 files (~2,600 lines) that compiled .agent.yaml to .md.
No .agent.yaml files exist in the source tree — agents now ship
as pre-built SKILL.md. Clean up all references in installer,
module manager, custom handler, base IDE, UI, and tests.
* refactor(custom-handler): remove dead install/copy/find methods
CustomHandler.install(), copyDirectory(), and findFilesRecursively()
are never called — custom modules are installed via moduleManager.install()
since Dec 2025. Also removes unused FileOps import and constructor.
Verified with before/after clean-installer comparison (codex + custom
modules with custom.yaml): output is identical.

* refactor(installer): remove legacy workflow, task, and agent IDE generators
All platforms now use skill_format exclusively. The old
WorkflowCommandGenerator, TaskToolCommandGenerator, and
AgentCommandGenerator code paths in _config-driven.js were
no-ops — collectSkills claims every directory before the
legacy collectors run, making their manifests empty.
Removed:
- workflow-command-generator.js (deleted)
- task-tool-command-generator.js (deleted)
- writeAgentArtifacts, writeWorkflowArtifacts, writeTaskToolArtifacts
- AgentCommandGenerator import from _config-driven.js
- Legacy artifact_types/agents/workflows/tasks result fields
Simplified installToTarget, installToMultipleTargets, printSummary,
and IDE manager detail builder to skills-only.
Updated test fixture to use SKILL.md format instead of old agent format.
* fix(installer): address PR review findings from #2078
- Fix temp dir leak in test fixture cleanup (use path.dirname)
- Fail loudly when skill_format missing instead of silent success
- Add workflow.md to test fixture for verbatim-copy coverage

* 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.
Add tools/validate-skills.js — a Node CLI that checks 13 deterministic
rules (SKILL-01–06, WF-01–02, PATH-02, STEP-01/06/07, SEQ-02) across
all skill directories. Runs in under a second, exits non-zero on HIGH+
findings in strict mode, and outputs JSON for the inference validator.
- Add validate:skills npm script to quality chain
- Update skill-validator.md with first-pass integration instructions

* feat(agents): convert all BMM agents to conformant skill structure
Replace legacy XML-based .agent.yaml files with new SKILL.md + bmad-manifest.json
format for all 9 BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, qa, sm,
quick-flow-solo-dev, ux-designer, tech-writer). Each agent now has:
- SKILL.md with persona, activation flow (bmad-init, project context, dynamic menu)
- bmad-manifest.json with capabilities referencing external skills
- bmad-skill-manifest.yaml for party-mode agent-manifest.csv generation
Tech-writer includes internal prompt files for write-document, mermaid-gen,
validate-doc, and explain-concept capabilities.
Also includes core bmad-init skill and removes legacy agent compilation tests
that referenced the old .agent.yaml format.

* feat(installer): support new SKILL.md agent format in manifest generation
Update getAgentsFromDir to detect directories with bmad-skill-manifest.yaml

.md agents (XML parsing) and new-format SKILL.md agents (YAML manifest).

* fix(installer): install type:agent skills to IDE native skills directory
The collectSkills scanner only recognized type:skill manifests, causing
new-format agents (type:agent in bmad-skill-manifest.yaml) to be added
to agent-manifest.csv but not installed to .claude/skills/. Now both
type:skill and type:agent are recognized as installable skills, while
collectAgents still processes type:agent dirs for the agent manifest
even when claimed by the skill scanner.

Skills must be invoked with "invoke" language, not file-oriented verbs
like "read fully and follow", "execute", "run", or "load". These imply

Add PATH-05: no file path references into another skill directory.
Skills are encapsulated — external consumers must use skill:name syntax,

PATH-05 so vague "legitimate external path" no longer permits
cross-skill file paths.

* docs: add core tools reference and apply Diataxis style fixes
Add comprehensive reference doc for all 11 built-in core tools (tasks
and workflows) that ship with every BMad installation — bmad-help,
brainstorming, party-mode, distillator, advanced-elicitation, both
review tools, both editorial tools, shard-doc, and index-docs. Each
entry follows the Configuration Reference structure with purpose,
use cases, how it works, inputs, and outputs.
Style fixes across existing docs:
- reference/commands.md: convert #### headers to bold text, replace
sparse task table with link to new core-tools reference
- how-to/get-answers-about-bmad.md: remove horizontal rule between
sections (Diataxis violation)
- how-to/project-context.md: consolidate 4 consecutive tip admonitions
into single admonition with bullet list, add AGENTS.md reference
Also includes:
- Add bmad-distillator task to core module with compression agents,
format reference, splitting strategy, and analysis scripts
- Add Distillator entry to module-help.csv
- Rename supports-autonomous to supports-headless in product-brief

Default skill templates used single-quoted YAML values for name
and description fields. When descriptions contain apostrophes
(e.g., "agent's workflow"), the generated YAML frontmatter would
be invalid, causing parse failures in IDEs like Antigravity.
Switches templates to double quotes and escapes any double quotes
in the description during template rendering.
Fixes#1744
* docs: drop slash-command syntax from skill references (editorial)
Skill names like bmad-help are now shown without a / prefix since

are skill names to invoke by name.

* refactor(skills): add SKILL.md entrypoint to skill directories
Align skill source format with Open Skills standard: each skill
directory now contains a SKILL.md with name/description frontmatter
where name must match the directory name exactly. The installer
copies skill directories verbatim instead of generating SKILL.md.
- Add SKILL.md to both tracer bullet skill directories
- Strip name/description from workflow.md frontmatter (SKILL.md owns it)
- Installer reads metadata from SKILL.md, validates name matches dirname
- Install path in manifest CSV now points to SKILL.md
- Copy filter excludes OS/editor artifacts (.DS_Store, backups, dotfiles)
- Debug-guard validation messages, keep name-mismatch as hard error
- Add typeof guard for malformed YAML frontmatter
- Add negative test cases for parseSkillMd validation (Suite 30)
* fix(skills): improve quick-dev-new-preview description for LLM discovery
Add trigger context so LLMs know when to invoke the skill,
matching the "Use when..." pattern used by other skills.
* fix(cli): validate frontmatter name/description are strings in parseSkillMd
Prevents cleanForCSV() crash when YAML parses name or description as
a non-string type (number, object, boolean).
* fix(cli): address PR review findings (mkdtemp, regex escape, recursive filter)
- Replace Date.now() temp dir with fs.mkdtemp() in Suite 30 tests (F5)

to reconstruct module:'standalone' on the reverse path.
