Three-layer customization (skill defaults → team → user) for BMad agents
and any skill that opts in. Users edit `_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.yaml`
(team, committed) or `{skill-name}.user.yaml` (personal, gitignored);
customizations survive updates.
Resolver is a Python script using PEP 723 inline metadata, invoked via
`uv run` so deps auto-install into a cached isolated env on first call.
This aligns with Anthropic's Agent Skills spec and BMB conventions, and
keeps the dependency declared (scannable by pip-audit/Dependabot) rather
than vendored.
## Design choices
- **Agent identity is hardcoded** in SKILL.md (name, title, Overview prose)
so skills can be invoked reliably by role *or* default name. Brand
recognition is preserved; customization shapes behavior, not identity.
- **Luminary-anchored personas** (e.g. "Channels Martin Fowler's
pragmatism and Werner Vogels's cloud-scale realism") deliver ~55%
token savings per agent while preserving distinctive voice beats.
- **Universal per-field merge rules** with v6.1-compatible agent
semantics: metadata shallow-merge, persona replace, critical_actions
and memories append, menu merge-by-code, all else deep-merge.
- **Workflow customization** shares the same surface — `bmad-product-brief`
pilots `activation_steps_prepend`, `activation_steps_append`, and
`skill_end` hooks that any workflow-style skill can adopt.
## Infrastructure
- `_bmad/scripts/` houses shared Python scripts (resolver + future).
- `_bmad/custom/` is provisioned empty with a seeded `.gitignore` for
`*.user.yaml` on fresh installs.
- Installer filters ensure `scripts/`, `custom/`, and sidecar-generated
`memory/` directories are never treated as modules.
- Dead v6.1 code cleaned up: `_config/agents/` no longer created,
`metadata.capabilities` removed from schema and CSV manifest.
Core and BMM modules live in this repo (src/core-skills, src/bmm-skills)
but the installer UI sourced them from the remote registry. When the
registry was unreachable (VPN, proxy, firewall), the fallback YAML only
had the 4 external modules, so core and bmm disappeared from the install
list entirely.
Now _selectOfficialModules and getDefaultModules always read built-in
modules from the local source via OfficialModules.listAvailable(), then
append external modules from the registry. Network failures only affect
external modules.
Closes#2239
* feat(quick-dev): sync sprint-status.yaml on epic-story implementation
When quick-dev infers the intent is an epic story, resolve the full
sprint-status key during step-01's previous-story-continuity sub-step,
then sync sprint-status.yaml at the two workflow boundaries code-review
already owns the trailing half of:
- step-03 start: flip the story to in-progress and lift the parent
epic out of backlog if needed.
- step-05 end: flip the story to review. Code-review keeps ownership
of review -> done.
Resolution uses exact numeric-segment equality on the {epic}-{story}
prefix (never string-prefix match), so 1-1 no longer collides with
1-10. Both sync blocks are idempotent so step-04 loopbacks do not
clobber human edits or bump last_updated without cause. Skips silently
when sprint-status.yaml is missing or the intent is not an epic story.
* feat(quick-dev): add sprint-status sync to one-shot route
Epic stories do get implemented via one-shot in practice. Add the same
in-progress / review sync pair that step-03 and step-05 already have,
with identical idempotency guards and skip-on-missing behavior.
* refactor(quick-dev): extract sprint-status sync into shared file
Replace inline sync blocks in step-03, step-05, and step-oneshot with
one-line callouts to sync-sprint-status.md. The shared file owns all
edge-case handling (idempotency, epic lift, missing file/key) and is
parameterized by {target_status}. Any future route picks it up with a
single Follow line.
* fix(quick-dev): resolve story_key on early-exit resume paths
Extract story-key resolution into a shared subsection referenced by
all early-exit paths and INSTRUCTIONS, ensuring sprint-status sync
works for resumed epic stories.
* refactor(quick-dev): tighten story-key resolution prompt
Remove mechanical details the LLM can infer; keep only the
collision-prevention constraint.
Prevent review subagents from being downgraded to cheaper models.
Rare findings from the Acceptance Auditor tend to be high-severity,
and research shows smaller models have worse recall on rare-event
detection.

The Batch-apply option (added in 9c3e2804) was instructed to "skip
any finding that requires judgment" — but step-03-triage already
guarantees patch findings are unambiguous (the decision-needed
bucket exists precisely to absorb ambiguous ones). The option had
no distinct work to do that option 1 did not already cover, and
its label suggested a meaningful difference that did not exist.
- Delete option 0 and the >3 findings conditional
- Rename "Fix them automatically" -> "Apply every patch", with
explicit scope (patches only; defer/decision-needed untouched)
- Rename "Walk through each" -> "Walk through each patch" for the
same scope clarity
- Unify <Z> placeholder with the existing <P> patch count
- Strip stale (or "0" for batch) notes from HALT lines
* feat(quick-dev): add epic context compilation to step-01
Fork step-01 context loading: epic stories get a sub-agent that
compiles planning docs into a cached epic-{N}-context.md, while
freeform intents keep the lightweight directory-listing path.

* fix(quick-dev): tighten epic context loading per PR review
- Validate cached epic-<N>-context.md is non-empty and starts with the
expected header before loading; treat invalid cache as missing.
- Replace inline {N} placeholders with <N> so the skill validator does
not flag them as unresolved workflow variables.
- Replace ambiguous "fall back to path B" with an explicit instruction
to scan/load planning artifacts using path B's procedure, with a note
not to re-evaluate path B's gating clause.
Addresses CodeRabbit and Augment review comments on PR #2218.
* refactor(quick-dev): tighten compile-epic-context prompt
- Restructure with Task/Steps opening and Exact Output Format section.
- Switch Stories template to bullet form for clarity.
- Add "no hallucination" and explicit "omit empty sections except Goal
and Stories" rules.
- Use <N> instead of {N} in the filename for consistency with step-01.
* refactor(quick-dev): restructure epic-story context loading
Reshape path A of step-01 into five explicit numbered steps and add an
inline-compilation fallback for runtimes that cannot spawn sub-agents
(Copilot, Codex, local Ollama, older Claude).
- Pull cache validity, compilation, verification, and continuity into
separate numbered steps instead of nested paragraphs.
- Define "valid cached context" upfront: non-empty and starts with
`# Epic <N> Context:`.
- Add inline-compilation fallback: runtimes without sub-agent support
read compile-epic-context.md and follow it directly.
- Make previous-story continuity run regardless of which context source
succeeded (cache hit, fresh compilation, or path-B raw fallback).
* fix(quick-dev): address review findings on epic context compilation
- Add freshness check to cached epic-N-context.md (invalidate when any
planning artifact is newer)
- Remove the silent fall-back-to-raw-planning-docs path on compile
failure; HALT and report instead
- Add explicit "ambiguous → freeform" tiebreakers for both the path A
header and the epic-number identification step
- Drop "verbatim" from compile-epic-context.md format header to resolve
the verbatim-vs-omit-empty contradiction

any tool before approving. On approval, re-read the spec from disk
and acknowledge any external edits before proceeding.
* fix(quick-dev): tighten checkpoint 1 [A] flow wording
- Remove stray 'and options' from the editing-note intro so the note's
position relative to the [A]/[E] menu is unambiguous.
- Restructure the [A] bullet into explicit missing/exists branches so
the missing-file HALT cannot fall through to status updates and
recreate a deleted spec.
Addresses augmentcode review comments on PR #2217.
* docs(quick-dev): rewrite checkpoint 1 editing-note
- Drop boilerplate opener about the spec being a regular file.
- Enumerate concrete options: editor, in-session Q&A, or bmad-advanced-elicitation / bmad-party-mode / bmad-code-review skills.
- Flag that skills should ideally run in another session to avoid context bloat.
- Change "add this note" to "display this note" for precision.
* refactor(quick-dev): eliminate spec-wip.md singleton

* chore(install): stop copying skill prompts to _bmad by default
Flip install_to_bmad default from true to false so skill directories
are cleaned from _bmad/ after IDE install. Skills are self-contained
in their IDE directories (.claude/skills/, etc.) and no longer need
duplicate copies in _bmad/.
Two skills (bmad-create-prd, bmad-validate-prd) opt back in via
explicit manifests because bmad-edit-prd cross-references their data
files. Also fixes broken bmm-skills/ path references and corrects
the file-ref validator module-to-source mapping.

* refactor(install): make edit-prd self-contained and remove install_to_bmad

cross-skill validation workflow reference with a skill invocation, so
all three PRD skills are fully self-contained. With no remaining
consumers, remove the install_to_bmad flag from manifests, CSV output,
the post-install cleanup loop, and the dedicated test file.
* feat(install): clean up skill directories from _bmad after IDE install
Skills are self-contained in IDE directories, so _bmad/ only needs
module-level files (config.yaml, _config/). After all IDE setups
complete, remove skill directories from _bmad/ via skill-manifest.csv.
Also cleans up skill dirs left by older installer versions.

Remove separate workflow.md — its content now lives directly in SKILL.md

Global Step Rules section (path:line format, front-load output, comm style).
* refactor(checkpoint): reference global step rules from SKILL.md in step-01
* refactor(checkpoint): deduplicate step rules against global step rules
Steps 2–4 now reference Global Step Rules in SKILL.md instead of
restating path:line format, front-load, and silence rules locally.
Step-specific rules (concern-based org, design judgment, risk
awareness, experiential testing) are preserved.
* fix(checkpoint): move main_config out of SKILL.md frontmatter
SKILL.md frontmatter should only contain name and description.
Hardcode the config path inline in the INITIALIZATION section.

Replace the multi-file workflow architecture (workflow.md + 3 step files)
with a self-contained SKILL.md that spawns each agent as an independent
subagent via the Agent tool. This produces genuinely diverse perspectives
instead of one LLM roleplaying multiple characters. Adds --model and
--solo flags for flexibility.
* refactor: remove bmad-init skill and standardize config loading across all skills
Remove the bmad-init core skill entirely — all agents and workflow skills now
load config directly from their module's config.yaml instead of delegating to
bmad-init as an intermediary. This eliminates the Python script dependency and
simplifies the activation path for every skill.
Changes across all skill types:
- Agents (9 skills): Replace "Load config via bmad-init skill" block with
direct config loading from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml`, resolving
user_name, communication_language, document_output_language,
planning_artifacts, and project_knowledge
- Workflow skills (12 skills): Standardize INITIALIZATION/Configuration Loading
sections to a consistent Activation format matching the agent pattern
- bmad-prfaq: Align activation to standard config pattern, convert scripted
dialogue to outcome-focused instructions (no direct quotes)
- bmad-product-brief: Remove External Skills section referencing bmad-init
- bmad-party-mode: Standardize initialization to Activation format
- bmad-advanced-elicitation: Inline agent_party path instead of config var
- bmad-distillator: Remove unused argument-hint frontmatter
- Delete legacy create-prd/ directory (superseded by bmad-create-prd)
- Delete bmad-init skill entirely: SKILL.md, bmad_init.py, core-module.yaml,
and test suite
* fix: remove remaining bmad-init references from marketplace.json and distillate examples
Clean up missed references: remove bmad-init from marketplace.json skills
list, replace bmad-init examples in distillate-format-reference.md with
bmad-help/bmad-setup to keep examples valid without referencing a removed skill.
* fix: update broken file references in bmad-edit-prd after create-prd deletion
Point prdPurpose refs from deleted create-prd/data/ to bmad-create-prd/data/
and validationWorkflow ref from create-prd/steps-v/ to bmad-validate-prd/steps-v/.
* feat: add bmad-prfaq skill as alternative to product brief
Add Working Backwards PRFAQ challenge skill for stress-testing product
concepts through Amazon's PRFAQ methodology. Includes press release
drafting, customer FAQ, internal FAQ, and verdict stages with subagent
support for artifact scanning and web research.
- New bmad-prfaq skill with 5-stage interactive gauntlet and headless mode
- Subagents for artifact analysis and web research (graceful degradation)
- Research-grounded output directive for current market/competitive data
- Always produces distillate for downstream PRD consumption
- Fix manifest array syntax in both prfaq and product-brief manifests
- Drop number prefixes from reference files
- Update docs: getting-started, workflow-map, agents, skills reference
- Add analysis-phase explainer doc with comparison table and decision guide
- Update workflow-map-diagram.html with prfaq card
- Add -H and -A args to CSV for both skills
- Add unist-util-visit as devDependency (was imported but undeclared)
* fix: harden bmad-prfaq for compaction resilience and context efficiency
Add coaching persona re-anchors to all stage prompts so the behavioral
directive survives context compaction. Add do-not-read guards at resume
detection, headless mode, and input gathering to prevent parent agent
context bloat. Add Stage 1 coaching notes capture. Adapt template and
press release stage for non-commercial concept types. Cap subagent
response token budgets.
* fix: add config.user.yaml to file-ref validator allowlist
Also update PRFAQ config path to use correct _config/bmm/ prefix.
* refactor(installer): restructure installer with clean separation of concerns
Move tools/cli/ to tools/installer/ with major structural cleanup:
- InstallPaths async factory for path resolution and directory creation
- Config value object (frozen) replaces mutable config bag
- ExistingInstall value object replaces stateful Detector class
- OfficialModules + CustomModules + ExternalModuleManager replace monolithic ModuleManager
- install() is prompt-free; all user interaction in ui.js
- Update state returned explicitly instead of mutating customConfig
- Delete dead code: dependency-resolver, _base-ide, IdeConfigManager,
platform-codes helpers, npx wrapper, xml-utils
- Flatten directory structure: custom/handler → custom-handler,
tools/cli/ → tools/installer/, lib/ directories removed
- Update all path references in package.json, tests, CI, and docs
* fix(installer): guard ExistingInstall.version and surface module.yaml errors
Guard ExistingInstall.version access with .installed check in
uninstall.js, ui.js, and installer.js to prevent throwing on
empty/partial _bmad dirs. Surface invalid module.yaml parse errors
as warnings instead of silently returning empty results.
step-08-scoping.md:
- Neutral title replacing hard-coded "MVP & Future Features"
- Task statement no longer mandates phase-based prioritization
- Confirmation gate now covers artifact creation, not just de-scoping
- Phased delivery uses user-defined phase labels/count instead of fixed 3
- "wants phased" phrasing replaced with "requests/chooses"
- Development sequence question branches by release mode
- Menu text conditional on delivery mode (no "phased roadmap" for single-release)
- Handoff to step-09 now persists releaseMode in frontmatter
- New failure mode for unapproved phase artifact creation
step-11-polish.md:
- Preservation rule now includes consent-critical evidence from step 8
* fix(bmad-init): correctly resolve output_folder paths outside project root
When output_folder was set to an absolute path (e.g. /Users/me/outputs),
the {project-root}/{value} result template stored it as
{project-root}//absolute/path. resolve_project_root_placeholder then did
a naive string replace, producing /project//absolute/path — a broken path
that workflows could not resolve.
For relative paths outside the root (e.g. ../../sibling), the same naive
replace left un-normalized paths like /project/../../sibling in the
resolved config, which some tools mishandled.
Fix resolve_project_root_placeholder to strip the {project-root} token,
detect whether the remainder is absolute (returning it directly) or
relative (joining with project root and normalizing via os.path.normpath).
Fix apply_result_template to skip the template entirely when raw_value is
already an absolute path, and to normalize the result for relative-but-
outside paths. This covers the bmad-init SKILL write path, which bakes
the resolved path directly into config.yaml.
Add 7 tests covering all three path cases (absolute, relative-with-
traversal, normal in-project) for both functions.

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
The frontmatter `title` field is the single source of truth.
The duplicate `# {title}` H1 heading was redundant and has been removed.

* fix(code-review): restore actionable review output with interactive choices
The March 15 rewrite (PR #2007) removed the ability to auto-fix patches,
create action items in story files, and handle deferred/spec findings.
This restores interactive post-review actions:
- Deferred findings: auto-written to deferred-work.md and checked off in story
- Intent gap/bad spec: conversation with downgrade-to-patch, patch-spec,
reset-to-ready-for-dev, or dismiss options
- Patch findings: fix automatically, create action items, or show details

* refactor(code-review): simplify triage to decision-needed/patch/defer/dismiss
Replace 5-bucket classification (intent_gap, bad_spec, patch, defer, reject)
with 4 pragmatic buckets. Findings always written to story file first.
Decision-needed findings gate patch handling — resolve ambiguity before fixing.

* fix(code-review): address PR review findings in step-04-present
Replace undefined curly-brace placeholders with angle-bracket syntax,
add HALT guard before patch menu, guard spec_file references for
no-spec mode, and backtick category names for consistency.
* feat(code-review): add HALT guards, batch option, defer reason, final summary
Add strong HALT guards after decision-needed and patch menus to prevent
auto-progression. Add batch-apply option 0 for >3 patch findings. Prompt
for defer reason and append to story file and deferred-work.md. Show
boxed final summary with counts. Polish clean-review shortcut in triage.
