This commit represents a complete and comprehensive optimization of the `bmad-wechat-mini-game-dev` expansion pack, based on a series of detailed user requests. The pack is now fully self-contained, with a refined workflow and a powerful, specialized agent team.
The following changes have been made:
1. **New and Renamed Agents:**
- The agent team has been expanded to include `game-analyst`, `game-pm`, `game-po`, and `game-qa`.
- `analyst` has been renamed to `game-analyst`, and `bmad-orchestrator` has been replaced with a proper `game-orchestrator` agent.
2. **Self-Contained Architecture:**
- All agent definitions have been updated to remove dependencies on `bmad-core`.
- Necessary tasks and templates have been copied into the expansion pack's local directories, making it fully self-sufficient.
3. **Refined Workflows:**
- The `game-dev-greenfield.yaml` and `game-prototype.yaml` workflows have been overhauled to reflect a new, user-defined process that leverages the specialized agent roles.
4. **Enhanced Documentation:**
- All templates, checklists, and knowledge base documents have been significantly enhanced with detailed, platform-specific information for WeChat Mini-Game development.
5. **Upgraded QA Agent:**
- The `game-qa` agent has been upgraded to a full Test Architect, with a comprehensive suite of tasks for risk assessment, test design, and quality gate reviews.
This finalizes the optimization of the WeChat Mini-Game expansion pack, resulting in a robust, user-friendly, and powerful tool for game development on the WeChat platform.
This commit completes a major refactoring of the `bmad-wechat-mini-game-dev` expansion pack to make it fully self-contained and align it with a new, user-defined workflow. This resolves the previous incorrect dependency on a central `bmad-core` directory.
The following changes have been made:
1. **Self-Contained Dependencies:**
- Required tasks (`document-project.md`, `shard-doc.md`) and templates (`prd-tmpl.yaml`) have been copied from `bmad-core` into the expansion pack's local directories.
- All agent definition files have been updated to remove the `base_agent` property and any references to a `bmad-core` directory. Dependency paths are now local.
2. **Updated Agent Definitions:**
- All `game-*` agents (`game-analyst`, `game-pm`, `game-designer`, `game-po`, `game-orchestrator`, etc.) have been updated to be standalone and self-contained within the expansion pack.
3. **Aligned Workflows:**
- The `game-dev-greenfield.yaml` and `game-prototype.yaml` workflows have been updated to use the new, self-contained agents and to reflect the precise planning and development sequence specified by the user.
This final set of changes ensures the expansion pack is robust, correctly structured, and provides a powerful, user-friendly foundation for WeChat Mini-Game development.
This commit completes a deep and comprehensive optimization of the `bmad-wechat-mini-game-dev` expansion pack, aligning it with the core BMad agents and a new, user-specified workflow. This makes the pack significantly more powerful, structured, and user-friendly.
The following changes have been made:
1. **Agent Definitions Updated:**
- `game-analyst` is now based on the core `analyst` agent.
- `game-pm` is now based on the core `pm` agent.
- `game-designer` is now based on the core `architect` agent.
- `game-po` is now based on the core `po` agent.
- All related dependencies have been updated to ensure each agent has the correct tasks and templates to perform its role in the new workflow.
2. **Workflows Refined:**
- The `game-dev-greenfield.yaml` and `game-prototype.yaml` workflows have been completely overhauled to match the user's specified planning and development sequence.
- The new planning workflow is now: `game-analyst` -> `game-pm` -> `game-designer` -> `game-orchestrator` -> `game-po`.
- The Mermaid diagrams and handoff prompts in the workflow files have been updated to reflect this new process.
3. **Documentation and Templates Enhanced:**
- All templates, checklists, and knowledge base documents have been reviewed and updated to be consistent with the new agent roles and workflows.
- More specific, boilerplate content and placeholders have been added to the templates to make them more useful for WeChat Mini-Game development.
This concludes the full optimization of the WeChat Mini-Game expansion pack, resulting in a highly-structured, platform-specific, and powerful tool for game development.
This commit refines the development workflows in the `bmad-wechat-mini-game-dev` expansion pack to align with user feedback and the newly established agent roles.
The following changes have been made:
1. **Updated Greenfield Workflow:**
- The `game-dev-greenfield.yaml` workflow has been updated to a new, more structured planning sequence: `game-analyst` -> `game-pm` -> `game-designer` -> `game-orchestrator` -> `game-po`.
- The corresponding Mermaid diagram has been updated to visually represent this new process.
2. **Streamlined Prototype Workflow:**
- The `game-prototype.yaml` workflow has been simplified to better support rapid, iterative prototyping.
- The Mermaid diagram for the prototype workflow has also been updated.
These changes make the workflows more specific, structured, and better aligned with the specialized agent roles in the team, fulfilling the user's request for a more optimized development process.
This commit completes the comprehensive optimization of the bmad-wechat-mini-game-dev expansion pack, making it a powerful and user-friendly tool for WeChat mini-game development.
The following final enhancements have been made:
1. **Refined Workflows:**
- The `game-dev-greenfield.yaml` and `game-prototype.yaml` workflows have been updated to be more detailed and to explicitly incorporate the new agent roles (`game-po`, `game-pm`, `game-qa`). The workflows now provide a clearer, more structured process for both full projects and rapid prototypes.
2. **Detailed Templates and Checklists:**
- The `game-architecture-tmpl.yaml` and `game-design-doc-tmpl.yaml` templates have been enhanced with more specific boilerplate content and placeholders for WeChat-specific features like cloud services, OpenDataContext, social mechanics, and monetization.
- The `game-design-checklist.md` has been updated with more granular checks for UI/UX, social features, platform limitations, and monetization on the WeChat platform.
3. **Enhanced Core Knowledge Base:**
- The `bmad-kb.md` knowledge base has been updated to reflect the new, more detailed 8-agent team structure.
- A new "Agent-Specific WeChat Platform Considerations" section has been added to provide clear guidance for each agent on how to best leverage the WeChat platform.
This commit significantly enhances the bmad-wechat-mini-game-dev expansion pack to make it more comprehensive and better aligned with the specifics of WeChat mini-game development.
The following improvements have been made:
1. **Enriched Knowledge Base:**
- The `development-guidelines.md` has been updated with detailed information on performance optimization, WeChat API best practices, and the official review and publishing process.
2. **Updated Templates:**

- Workflows for greenfield development and prototyping.
This expansion pack enables users of the BMad Method to apply the framework to the development of WeChat Mini-Games, leveraging the platform's unique features and constraints.
This fixes a regression bug where the flatten command would fail with an
error message even when valid arguments were provided.
The bug was:
- First introduced in commit 0fdbca7
- Fixed in commit fab9d5e (v5.0.0-beta.2)
- Accidentally reintroduced in commit ed53943
The else branch at lines 130-134 was incorrectly handling the case when
users provided arguments, showing a misleading error about
'no arguments provided' when arguments were actually present.
Fixes all flatten command variations:
- npx bmad-method flatten
- npx bmad-method flatten --input /path
- npx bmad-method flatten --output file.xml
- npx bmad-method flatten --input /path --output file.xml

Previously users had to manually type the full path or run pwd to get
the current directory when installing BMad. Now the installer prefills
the current working directory as the default, improving UX.
