* 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
where type=agent and extract metadata directly from the YAML fields. This
allows the agent-manifest.csv to be populated from both old-format compiled
.md agents (XML parsing) and new-format SKILL.md agents (YAML manifest).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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.

* fix(installer): suppress canonicalId warning for type:agent skills
Agent-type skill manifests legitimately use canonicalId for agent-manifest
mapping (e.g., bmad-analyst). Only warn for regular type:skill manifests.

* feat(skills): update analyst manifest and simplify bmad-init instructions
Switch analyst's create-brief menu entry to the new product-brief-preview
skill. Simplify bmad-init SKILL.md by removing hardcoded code fences and
making the script path relative to the skill directory.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(bmm): update tech-writer CSV refs to new skill path
The module-help.csv still referenced the old agent YAML path for
tech-writer entries. Update to skill:bmad-agent-tech-writer to match
the conformant skill structure.

Run skill-validator against all 36 skills on HEAD (42b1d0f6). Fixes:
- PATH-01: relative path corrections in product-brief-preview, brainstorming,
distillator, generate-project-context, edit-prd, quick-dev-new-preview
- PATH-04: remove 5 intra-skill path variables from edit-prd
- REF-01: single-curly template vars → double-curly in create-architecture,
create-epics-and-stories, create-story
- REF-02: fix dangling file refs in advanced-elicitation, validate-prd, edit-prd
- REF-03: update rule to prefer natural language `Invoke the skill` form;
fix stale persona ref in qa-generate-e2e-tests
- SEQ-01: "skip to" → "proceed to" in quick-dev-new-preview
- SEQ-02: remove time estimates from document-project, quick-spec
- SKILL-06: add "Use when" trigger to review-edge-case-hunter
- STEP numbering: renumber step n="0.5" to integer sequence in retrospective
Also updates REF-03 rule in tools/skill-validator.md to clarify that
natural language invocation is canonical — no skill: prefix required.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Skills must be invoked with "invoke" language, not file-oriented verbs
like "read fully and follow", "execute", "run", or "load". These imply
document-level operations and are incorrect for skill references.

Add PATH-05: no file path references into another skill directory.
Skills are encapsulated — external consumers must use skill:name syntax,
not reach into internal files. Also tighten WF-03 to cross-reference
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
manifest

* 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)
- Replace unescaped RegExp with startsWith/slice for path prefix stripping (F7)

toDashName/toUnderscoreName collapsed core and standalone to the same

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

* refactor(augment): remove legacy YAML/XML workflow rules from code review guidelines
All workflows have been converted to markdown. Remove workflow.yaml,
workflow.xml, and config_source references from Augment review rules.
Drop the entire xml_workflows section (5 rules) and the YAML-specific
standard_workflow_instructions rule.
* refactor: extract discover_inputs protocol from workflow.xml into co-located markdown
Convert the discover_inputs XML protocol (FULL_LOAD, SELECTIVE_LOAD,
INDEX_GUIDED strategies) into standalone markdown files placed alongside
the two workflows that use it (create-story, code-review). Replace
<invoke-protocol> tags with explicit file references. This decouples
the workflows from workflow.xml, enabling its deletion in a follow-up.

* feat(tasks): convert review-adversarial-general from XML task to native skill
Convert the simplest core task (review-adversarial-general.xml) from
type:task XML format to type:skill markdown format. This establishes
the pattern for converting remaining XML tasks to self-contained skills.
- Convert XML task to workflow.md with frontmatter, role, execution steps
- Add type:skill manifest for verbatim directory copying
- Extend manifest-generator getTasksFromDir to recurse into subdirectories
and detect type:skill entries (mirrors existing workflow skill detection)
- Update cross-references in quick-dev-new-preview, quick-dev, quick-spec
- Update module-help.csv to use skill: prefix
* refactor: replace file path references with skill name invocations
Consumers of review-adversarial-general now invoke by skill name

* feat(skills): add type:skill manifest for verbatim skill directory copying
Introduce `type: skill` in bmad-skill-manifest.yaml to signal the

directories, replacing the launcher-based approach.
Changes:
- skill-manifest.js: fix single-entry detection for type-only manifests,
add getArtifactType export
- manifest-generator.js: collect type:skill entries separately, write
skill-manifest.csv, derive canonicalId from directory name
- _config-driven.js: add installVerbatimSkills with YAML-safe SKILL.md
generation, stale file cleanup, and warning on parse failures
- Rename quick-dev-new-preview to bmad-quick-dev-new-preview so
directory name is the canonical ID
- Update workflow.md installed_path to reference IDE skill base directory

* fix(installer): preserve bmad-os-* skills during cleanup
The cleanupTarget method removed all entries starting with "bmad" from
IDE skills directories, which would also wipe version-controlled
bmad-os-* skills from the BMAD-METHOD repo. Add exclusion for the
bmad-os- prefix so those skills survive reinstalls.
* docs: flag all unverified platforms for manual IDE testing
Add NEEDS MANUAL IDE VERIFICATION to KiloCoder, Gemini CLI, iFlow,
QwenCoder, and Rovo Dev checklists. CodeBuddy, Crush, and Trae already
had the flag.
* fix(installer): suspend Kilo Code and add verified Gemini/Crush results
Kilo Code does not support the Agent Skills standard — the migration
from modes+workflows to skills was based on a false fork assumption.
- Add suspended field to platform-codes.yaml, hiding Kilo from the IDE
picker and blocking setup with a clear message
- Fail the installer early (before writing _bmad/) if all selected IDEs
are suspended, protecting existing installations from being corrupted
- Still clean up legacy Kilo artifacts (.kilocodemodes, .kilocode/workflows)
when users switch to a different IDE
- Mark Crush and Gemini CLI as manually verified (both work end-to-end)
- Replace Suite 22 install tests with suspended-behavior tests (7 assertions)
* docs: update KiloCoder checklist to reflect suspended status
* fix(skills): add canonicalIds for BMM research and PRD workflows
Drop the bmm module prefix from 6 workflow skill names so they
install as bmad-create-prd, bmad-domain-research, etc. instead of
bmad-bmm-create-prd, bmad-bmm-domain-research, etc.
* fix(installer): address PR review findings from automated reviewers
Triage of 18 findings from Augment and CodeRabbit reviews on PR #1841:
Source code fixes:
- Exclude bmad-os-* from findAncestorConflict to match cleanupTarget
- Wrap cleanupCopilotInstructions in try/catch (best-effort, not fatal)
- Wrap suspended-platform cleanup in try/catch (failure boundary)
- Clean up temp backup dirs in catch block when install aborts
- Normalize IDE keys to lowercase before suspended lookup
- Delete dead loadCustomInstallerFiles method and stale references
- Rename "Roo Cline" to "Roo Code" in both platform-codes.yaml files
- Fix Gemini CLI package name (@google/gemini-cli, not @anthropic-ai)
Test improvements:
- Add name/frontmatter invariant check to 6 missing platform suites
- Assert stale bmad-architect skill is removed after cleanup

* fix(test): replace _bmad filesystem dependency with self-contained fixture
The installation component tests walked up the filesystem looking for a
pre-installed _bmad directory, which exists locally but not in CI. Replace
findInstalledBmadDir() with createTestBmadFixture() that creates a minimal
temp directory with fake compiled agents, making tests fully self-contained.

* fix(installer): refuse install when ancestor dir has BMAD commands
Claude Code inherits slash commands from parent directories, so
installing into a nested project when a parent already has .claude/commands
with bmad-* files causes duplicate entries in the autocomplete.
Add ancestor_conflict_check flag (enabled for claude-code) that walks
up the directory tree before install. If BMAD files are found in an
ancestor target_dir, the installer refuses with an actionable error.
Also fix IdeManager.setup() to propagate handler success status instead
of unconditionally returning success: true.
* Address code review feedback from CodeRabbit and Augment
- Move "Setting up..." log after conflict check so it only shows when
install will proceed
- Fix rm command: add -rf flags and correct quoting for glob outside quotes
- Improve error wording: "ancestor installation" instead of misleading
"ancestor directory"
- Use case-insensitive startsWith for bmad file detection (macOS/Windows)
- Document ancestor_conflict_check in the installer config schema

* fix(installer): resolve symlinks before ancestor conflict walk
Use fs.realpath() instead of path.resolve() so the ancestor directory
walk follows the physical filesystem path, not the logical symlink path.

* fix(opencode): use mode: all in agent template, remove name frontmatter, fix directory names
- Replace name: '{{name}}' with mode: all in opencode-agent.md
mode: all enables both Tab-key agent switching in the TUI and @subagent
invocation via the Task tool (mode: primary blocked subagent use)
- Remove name: '{{name}}' from opencode-task/tool/workflow/workflow-yaml templates
OpenCode derives command name from filename, not from a name frontmatter field;
the bare {{name}} value was overriding the bmad- prefixed filename causing
name collisions with built-in OpenCode commands (fixes#1762)
- Fix deprecated singular directory names in platform-codes.yaml:
.opencode/agent -> .opencode/agents, .opencode/command -> .opencode/commands
- Add legacy_targets migration: cleanup() now removes stale bmad-* files from
old singular directories on reinstall so existing users don't get duplicates
- Fix removeEmptyParents to continue walking up to parent when starting dir is
already absent instead of breaking early
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(opencode): address code review findings for cleanup and schema docs
- Add project boundary guard to removeEmptyParents() using path.resolve
and startsWith check to prevent traversal outside projectDir (Augment)
- Fix JSDoc: "Recursively remove" -> "Walk up ancestor directories"
- Add user-visible migration log message when processing legacy_targets
- Document legacy_targets field in Installer Config Schema comment block
in platform-codes.yaml (CodeRabbit + Augment)

* fix(opencode): improve removeEmptyParents error handling and loop clarity
- Distinguish recoverable errors (ENOTEMPTY, ENOENT) from fatal errors in
removeEmptyParents() catch block — skip level and continue upward on
TOCTOU races or concurrent removal, break only on fatal errors (EACCES)
- Add comment clarifying loop invariant for missing-path continue branch

* fix(installer): remove double-escaping of quotes in CSV manifest pipeline
cleanForCSV() pre-escaped " to "" before storing in memory, then
escapeCsv() escaped again at CSV write time. After csv-parse round-trip
(which only un-escapes once), descriptions retained doubled quotes
instead of originals, corrupting generated output files.
Fix: remove the redundant quote escaping from cleanForCSV() since
escapeCsv() already handles CSV quoting correctly at write time.

* fix(installer): use single quotes for description in Gemini workflow templates
Replace triple-quoted """{{description}}""" with single-quoted '{{description}}'
to avoid TOML escaping issues in Gemini workflow templates.

- Add comprehensive public roadmap with In Progress, Getting Started, and Community sections
- Add roadmap callout to README.md and docs welcome page
- Add roadmap-specific card grid styles with equal-height cards
- Fix rehype-markdown-links plugin to detect docs directory in various project structures
- Rename roadmap.md to roadmap.mdx for proper Astro/Starlight rendering
- Update doc link validator to support .mdx files
This change removes the disable-model-invocation flag from all IDE installer
templates. By allowing model invocation, bmad help can now properly invoke
suggested workflows as direct skill calls, improving the user experience by
enabling automatic workflow execution when desired.
* feat: migrate Codex installer from .codex/prompts to .agents/skills format
Switch CodexSetup to write BMAD artifacts as Agent Skills (agentskills.io
format) in .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md instead of flat files in
.codex/prompts. Remove global/project location prompt. Add legacy cleanup
of old .codex/prompts directories during install and uninstall.

* ignore .agents for codex
* fix: normalize line endings and use platform-native EOL in SKILL.md output
Normalize all content to LF in transformToSkillFormat, then convert to
os.EOL (CRLF on Windows, LF on Linux/macOS) before writing SKILL.md
files in both writeSkillArtifacts and installCustomAgentLauncher.

* ignore .agents directory
* use description from metadata in custom agent launcher

Move Raven PR review and file-ref audit from tools/ into
.claude/skills/ as proper bmad-os skills with SKILL.md + prompts/
instructions.md split pattern. Strip XML tags from Raven content,
promote sections to H2 headings. Delete originals from tools/.

tools/audit-file-refs.md — a repeatable prompt that spawns parallel
Haiku subagents to semantically audit new-format source files for
non-conforming file references. Includes a self-check that verifies
all files are accounted for before producing the final report.
Replaces the planned regex extension (Item 1 of the master plan) with
an approach that can handle the full surface area of reference patterns
without exhaustive pattern enumeration.
Also excludes .junie/ from Prettier checks (IDE integration folder,
user-specific, not in repo).

* fix(installer): add custom Rovo Dev installer with prompts.yml generation
Rovo Dev CLI requires a .rovodev/prompts.yml manifest to register prompts
for /prompts access. The config-driven installer was writing .md files but
never generating this manifest, so /prompts showed nothing.
- Create custom rovodev.js installer extending BaseIdeSetup
- Generate prompts.yml indexing all written workflow files
- Merge with existing user entries (only touch bmad- prefixed entries)
- Remove stale rovo entry from tools/platform-codes.yaml
Closes#1466
* fix(installer): prefix prompts.yml descriptions with entry name
The /prompts list in Rovo Dev only shows descriptions, making it hard
to identify entries. Prefix each description with the bmad entry name
so users see e.g. "bmad-bmm-create-prd - PRD workflow..." instead of
just the description text.
* refactor(installer): address review findings in Rovo Dev installer
- Hoist toDashPath import to module top level
- Extract _collectPromptEntries helper replacing 3 duplicated loops
- Remove unused detectionPaths (detect() is overridden)
- Guard generatePromptsYml when writtenFiles is empty
- Align cleanup() with detect() predicate (remove any bmad-*, not just .md)
- Use BaseIdeSetup abstractions (this.pathExists/readFile/writeFile) in cleanup()
- Update loadHandlers() JSDoc to include rovodev.js

Windsurf is no longer a preferred IDE. Only Claude Code and Cursor
are now recommended. Windsurf remains a supported platform (installer
still works, templates stay, reference tables stay).
- Set preferred: false in both platform-codes.yaml files
- Move windsurf entry to "Other IDEs" section in tools/platform-codes.yaml
- Fix codex.js hardcoding preferred: true in constructor
- Remove stale "3 preferred tools" count from ui.js JSDoc
- Update docs to list only Claude Code and Cursor as recommended
- Update docs/index.md popular tools to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI
