Converted all Memory Bank templates and ADR template from Markdown to YAML format
for consistency with BMAD framework template standards.
Template Conversions:
- projectbrief-tmpl.md → projectbrief-tmpl.yaml
- productContext-tmpl.md → productContext-tmpl.yaml
- systemPatterns-tmpl.md → systemPatterns-tmpl.yaml
- techContext-tmpl.md → techContext-tmpl.yaml
- activeContext-tmpl.md → activeContext-tmpl.yaml
- progress-tmpl.md → progress-tmpl.yaml
- adr-tmpl.md → adr-tmpl.yaml
YAML Template Features:
- Structured workflow definitions with guided/interactive modes
- Comprehensive prompting system for elicitation
- Section-based organization with clear instructions
- Output format configuration (markdown files in docs/memory-bank/)
- Validation rules for required fields
- Template variable system with Handlebars-style syntax
Updated References:
- initialize-memory-bank.md task updated to reference YAML templates
- create-adr.md task updated to reference YAML ADR template
- architect.md agent updated to use adr-tmpl.yaml
This maintains the same output structure while providing the structured,
interactive template experience consistent with other BMAD framework templates.
Implemented Cline-inspired Memory Bank pattern for AI context persistence across sessions.
This ensures continuity and deep understanding of projects even when AI memory resets.
Core Memory Bank Components:
- Created 6 core memory bank templates following hierarchical structure
- projectbrief.md: Foundation document with project scope and goals
- productContext.md: The 'why' behind the project
- systemPatterns.md: Technical architecture and decisions
- techContext.md: Technology stack and environment
- activeContext.md: Current work focus and priorities
- progress.md: Project state tracking and evolution
Tasks and Workflows:
- initialize-memory-bank.md: Creates initial Memory Bank structure
- update-memory-bank.md: Updates based on dev journals, ADRs, and changes
- memory-bank-triggers.md: Reference guide for when to update
Agent Integrations:
- Enhanced architect agent with Memory Bank awareness and commands
- Enhanced dev agent to update activeContext and progress
- Enhanced po agent for requirements alignment with Memory Bank
- All agents now read Memory Bank at session start
Pervasive Integration Strategy:
- ADR creation triggers systemPatterns updates
- Dev journal entries trigger activeContext updates
- Story completion triggers progress updates
- Comprehensive commits/PRs trigger relevant updates
- Document-project task integrates with Memory Bank initialization
This provides AI agents with persistent context across sessions, preventing
loss of project knowledge and ensuring consistent understanding.
- Created create-comprehensive-commit.md task with anti-tunnel vision mechanisms
- Multi-stream aware commit message generation
- Systematic evidence gathering from multiple sources
- Comprehensive context analysis and rationale documentation
- Quality checklist to prevent tunnel vision
- Created create-comprehensive-pr.md task for detailed PR descriptions
- Work stream identification and documentation
- Per-stream testing instructions
- Visual evidence requirements
- Review focus areas and deployment notes
- Integrated workflows into dev and architect agents
- Added *comprehensive-commit command
- Added *comprehensive-pr command
- Made workflows available to agents who create commits/PRs
These workflows ensure high-quality git documentation with comprehensive
coverage of all changes, preventing the tunnel vision that often results
in incomplete commit messages or PR descriptions.
- Removed unnecessary folders from BMAD-METHOD repo (docs/adr, docs/devJournal)
- Updated tasks to create folders in destination projects when needed
- Removed standalone adr-specialist agent (functionality integrated into architect)
- Added create-adr task with folder setup instructions
- Both ADR and Dev Journal features now properly create their structures in target projects
The agents will now create and maintain docs/adr and docs/devJournal folders
in the projects where BMAD is installed, not in the BMAD-METHOD repo itself.
- Created comprehensive ADR template following Michael Nygard's format
- Enhanced architect agent with ADR management capabilities
- Added ADR triggers reference guide for decision documentation
- Updated architect checklist with ADR validation section
- Imported user's comprehensive development methodology in tmp/
- Memory Bank system for AI context persistence
- Detailed rules covering coding principles and architecture patterns
- Workflows for common development tasks with anti-tunnel vision checks
- Created foundation for integrating user methodology with BMAD
- Fixed pre-commit hook by removing non-existent test script
This enhancement brings structured architectural decision documentation
to BMAD while preparing for deeper integration with advanced AI-assisted
development patterns.
- Remove 'root' property from YAML when building web bundles
- Remove 'IDE-FILE-RESOLUTION' and 'REQUEST-RESOLUTION' properties
- Filter out IDE-specific activation instructions
- Keep agent header minimal for web bundles
- Ensures web bundles are clean of IDE-specific configuration
