* 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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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

Translate docs/explanation/quick-dev-new-preview.md to Chinese.
This document explains the experimental Quick Flow improvement
that reduces human-in-the-loop friction while maintaining quality.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a "Trigger Types" section to the agents reference page
explaining the difference between workflow triggers (no arguments)
and conversational triggers (arguments required). Lists all
Technical Writer triggers that expect user-provided input with
examples of proper usage.
Fixes#1682
The testing reference page incorrectly described Quinn's Automate
workflow as running per-story before Code Review, contradicting the
workflow map which positions it after epic completion. Align the testing
page with the workflow map: Quinn runs after all stories in an epic are
implemented and code-reviewed.
* docs: drop slash-command syntax from skill references (editorial)
Skill names like bmad-help are now shown without a / prefix since
invocation syntax varies across platforms. First-encounter locations
(README, getting-started, get-answers, installer message, bmad-help
display rules) get editorial framing so new users understand these
are skill names to invoke by name.

* 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(i18n): add zh-cn locale support with Starlight routing
Reorganize Chinese translations from docs_cn/ into docs/zh-cn/
following Starlight's i18n content structure. Configure Starlight
with root locale (en, unprefixed) and zh-cn (/zh-cn/ prefix).
- Move 28 files from docs_cn/*_cn.md to docs/zh-cn/*.md
- Fix 21 internal links to remove _cn suffixes
- Add defaultLocale + locales config to astro.config.mjs
- Add .gitignore exception for docs/zh-cn/ (overrides z*/ rule)
- Language switcher activates automatically via existing Header
- hreflang tags auto-generated by Starlight on all pages
* feat(i18n): add zh-CN UI translations and sidebar labels
- Add website/src/content/i18n/zh-CN.json with Starlight UI strings
- Add sidebar group label translations (欢迎, 路线图, 教程, etc.)
- Register i18n collection in content config to fix deprecation warning
* fix(i18n): exclude 404 pages from sitemap
Custom 404 pages (root and zh-cn) were indexed as regular content in
the sitemap. Add a filter to the @astrojs/sitemap integration that
matches the /404 path segment precisely via regex on the URL pathname.
Update the BMAD acronym expansion from "Breakthrough Method of

BMad-Help is one of V6's flagship features but was undersold in docs.
This update positions it properly as the intelligent guide that:
- Inspects project state and detects what's completed
- Understands natural language queries
- Varies options based on installed modules
- Auto-invokes after every workflow
- Recommends first required tasks
Changes:
- Add dedicated "Meet BMad-Help" section to getting-started
- Expand commands.md with full BMad-Help subsection and examples
- Reposition get-answers-about-bmad.md to start with BMad-Help
- Enhance install-bmad.md and established-projects.md with query examples
- Add index.md tip box promoting /bmad-help as quickest way to dive in
Adds a new "Extend and Customize" section with a link to the BMad Builder documentation for users interested in creating custom agents, workflows, or modules.
* fix(docs): comprehensive documentation site review fixes
Rehype plugins:
- Rewrite rehype-markdown-links for correct relative .md resolution
- Handle raw HTML base paths and bare .md links in rehype-base-paths
- Guard protocol-relative URLs (//...) in all link processors
- Use file.path instead of file.history[0] for vfile compatibility
- Fail build when content directory cannot be detected
- Export helpers for testability; add 107 unit tests
Build & CI:
- Revert cancel-in-progress to false to avoid mid-deploy cancellation
- Remove redundant link-validation CI step (build validates internally)
- Remove unnecessary fetch-depth:0 from docs deploy workflow
- Refuse docs build on Windows (platform guard)
- Remove dead build scripts and stale references
Tooling:
- Add DOCS_ROOT boundary check in validate-doc-links.js
- Handle directory paths and prefix stripping in link validator
- Remove dead regex and add // guard in fix-doc-links.js
Accessibility & CSS:
- Darken caution/danger aside title colors for WCAG AA 4.5:1 contrast
- Fix 100vw scrollbar overflow (banner width:100%, html overflow-x:clip)
- Add :focus-visible ring to banner link for keyboard navigation
- Remove dead CSS declaration and add missing code block lang
Documentation content:

* fix(docs): add non-interactive installation to sidebar, rewrite and reorder how-to guides
- Move non-interactive-installation.md into how-to/ directory so it appears
in the sidebar navigation (was orphaned at docs root)
- Rewrite the page based on editorial review: consolidate redundant sections,
add missing how-to structure (prerequisites, "What You Get"), condense
installation modes from 5 subsections to a table, cut speculative examples
- Reorder how-to sidebar: Install (1), Non-Interactive (2), Upgrade to v6 (3),
then the rest following user journey order
- Fix README link to point to docs site instead of repo-internal markdown path

The downloads page offered bmad-sources.zip and bmad-prompts.zip, both
redundant: GitHub provides source archives for every tag natively, and
npx bmad-method install is the supported path for compiled prompts.
Remove the downloads page, all bundle generation code, the archiver
dependency, and nav links. The llms.txt and llms-full.txt files (the
genuinely useful artifacts) continue to be generated as before.
* docs: add official external modules reference page
* chore: remove obsolete docs and basement files
* fix: update robots.txt URLs to docs.bmad-method.org
* fix: generate robots.txt dynamically from site base URL
Replace static robots.txt with an Astro endpoint that uses the
configured site URL, so sitemap references are correct on both
fork deployments and production.
* fix: unify site URL resolution in build-docs.js
build-docs.js had its own hardcoded fallback URL
(bmad-code-org.github.io) instead of using the shared
getSiteUrl() function, causing URL mismatches between
robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemaps. Now all components
resolve the site URL through the same function. Renamed
site-url.js to .mjs to avoid Node ESM detection warnings.
* fix: correct module names and relocate prompt file
- CIS: "Creative Innovation Suite" → "Creative Intelligence Suite"
- GDS: "Game Dev Suite" → "Game Dev Studio"
- Move _prompt-external-modules-page.md from docs/ to tools/docs/
* refactor: convert build-docs to ESM, eliminate mutable globals
- Convert build-docs.js to build-docs.mjs (CJS → ESM)
- Import getSiteUrl directly, remove async import workaround
- Kill mutable SITE_URL global, call getSiteUrl() where needed
- Clean up Banner.astro variable naming
- Update package.json and CI workflow for .mjs extension
* feat: add non-interactive installation support
Add command-line flags to support non-interactive installation for CI/CD
pipelines and automated deployments:
- --directory: Installation directory
- --modules: Comma-separated module IDs
- --tools: Tool/IDE IDs (use "none" to skip)
- --custom-content: Custom module paths
- --action: Action type for existing installations
- --user-name, --communication-language, --document-output-language, --output-folder: Core config
- -y, --yes: Accept all defaults
When flags are provided, prompts are skipped. Missing values gracefully
fall back to interactive prompts.
* fix: complete non-interactive installation support
- Fix validation checks using truthy instead of !== true
- Add skipPrompts flag to skip module config prompts with --yes
- Add getDefaultModules() for automatic module selection with --yes
- Fix IDE selection to use array check instead of length check

- Update all internal links and references
* docs: remove redundant phrase from quick-fixes description
* docs: restore natural language in established-projects body
The getting-started tutorial referenced agents and workflows by name
(e.g., "Load the PM agent", "Run the prd workflow") without providing
the actual commands to type. This adds the exact slash commands inline
alongside the existing prose so new users know precisely what to run.
Apply Diataxis documentation framework to BMGD docs:
game-types.md:
- Convert to Reference format (austere, consistent structure)
- Add Examples field to all 24 game types
- Remove redundant Overview, GDD Section Mapping, Next Steps
- Condense Hybrid Game Types to reference table
- Remove Tags (no functional purpose for human readers)
quick-flow-workflows.md:
- Convert to How-to guide format
- Remove conceptual content (Step-File Architecture, Integration)
- Remove tutorial content (Examples section)
- Cut redundant Reference tables (steps already in how-to)
- Merge Self-Check and Adversarial Review into Validation Criteria
index.md:
- Fix broken link to Quick-Flow documentation
Both main files:
- Apply prose editorial fixes for clarity
- Reduce word count while preserving comprehension

* docs: radical reduction of documentation scope for v6 beta
Archive and basement unreviewed content to ship a focused, minimal doc set.
Changes:
- Archive stale how-to workflow guides (will rewrite for v6)
- Archive outdated explanation and reference content
- Move unreviewed content to basement for later review
- Reorganize TEA docs into dedicated /tea/ section
- Add workflow-map visual reference page
- Simplify getting-started tutorial and sidebar navigation
- Add explanation pages: brainstorming, adversarial-review, party-mode,
quick-flow, advanced-elicitation
- Fix base URL handling for subdirectory deployments (GitHub Pages forks)
The goal is a minimal, accurate doc set for beta rather than
comprehensive but potentially misleading content.

* fix(build): use file glob instead of sidebar parsing for llms-full.txt
Replace brittle sidebar.js regex parsing with recursive file glob.
The old approach captured non-file strings like 'autogenerated' and
category labels, resulting in only 5 files being processed.
Now correctly processes all 86+ markdown files (~95k tokens).

AI web-browsing agents couldn't follow relative paths in meta tags due to
URL security restrictions. Changed llms-full.txt and llms.txt meta tag
URLs from relative (baseUrl) to absolute (urlParts.origin + baseUrl).

* fix(docs): align sidebar with actual docs structure and fix image path
Sidebar referenced non-existent paths (modules/bmm/, getting-started/, etc.)
while actual docs live in different locations (modules/bmm-bmad-method/,
bmad-core-concepts/, etc.). Updated sidebar to match reality so Docusaurus
can build successfully.
Also fixed broken image reference in workflows-guide.md that used an
incorrect relative path.
