* feat(cli): complete @clack/prompts migration
Full migration of BMAD CLI installer from legacy terminal libraries
(chalk, ora, boxen, figlet, wrap-ansi, cli-table3, readline) to unified
@clack/prompts v1.0.0 visual system.
Foundation (prompts.js + cli-utils.js):
- Extended prompts.js wrapper with box, spinner, progress, taskLog,
path, autocomplete, selectKey, stream, color re-export
- Refactored cli-utils.js: displayLogo uses box(), sections use note(),
steps use log.step(), removed boxen/figlet/wrap-ansi/cli-table3
UI orchestration (ui.js):
- Replaced ~100 console.log+chalk calls with log.*, note(), box()
- Replaced ora spinner with @clack spinner
- Module selection: autocompleteMultiselect with locked core module,
bulleted post-selection display, maxItems for no-scroll
Spinner migration (installer.js):
- Replaced 40+ ora spinner calls with @clack spinner
- All spinner.stop() calls include meaningful messages
- Failure paths use spinner.error() (red cross) instead of stop()
Readline migration (agent/installer.js + config-collector.js):
- Migrated readline prompts to @clack text/confirm/select
- Fixed chalk.dim bug (chalk was never imported)
- Removed chalk from config-collector.js
IDE handlers + modules (7 files):
- Replaced chalk+ora across all IDE handlers and module manager
- Fixed options.installer undefined bug in manager.js update()
Cleanup:
- Removed ora, boxen, figlet, wrap-ansi, cli-table3 from dependencies
- chalk stays (used outside tools/cli/ scope)
- Replaced hand-drawn Unicode update box in bmad-cli.js with box()
- Added process.stdin.setMaxListeners(25) for sequential prompts
Spinner wrapper adds isSpinning state tracking (not native to @clack).
Removed dead groupMultiselect and sortKey sort calls.

* feat(cli): consolidate installer output to single spinner + summary
Replace ~40 lines of output from 15+ spinner start/stop cycles with a
single animated spinner during installation and a final note() summary
block showing checkmarks per step.
Key changes:
- Add results collector pattern in install() method
- Replace spinner.stop/start pairs with addResult + spinner.message
- Add renderInstallSummary() using prompts.note() with colored output
- Propagate silent flag through IDE handlers and module manager
- Add spinner race condition guards (start while spinning, stop while stopped)
- Add no-op spinner pattern for silent external module cloning
- Fix stdin listener limit to be defensive with Math.max
- Add GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 for non-interactive git operations
- Merge locked values into initialValue for autocomplete prompts

Prevents Claude from auto-invoking BMad skills without explicit user
request. Adds disable-model-invocation: true frontmatter to all
command templates and inline generators for Claude Code and Codex.

* 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.

* refactor: restructure BMM and agents documentation by consolidating and flattening index files.
---------
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add fileExtension parameter support to path-utils (toColonPath, toDashPath)
- Add TemplateType.GEMINI to unified-installer for TOML output format
- Update task-tool-command-generator to support TOML format
- Refactor gemini.js to use UnifiedInstaller with:
- NamingStyle.FLAT_DASH for dash-separated filenames
- TemplateType.GEMINI for TOML format (description + prompt fields)
- fileExtension: '.toml' for Gemini CLI
TOML format:
description = "BMAD Agent: Title"
prompt = """
Content here
"""
- Installation path is now fully configurable, allowing users to specify custom installation directories during setup
- Default installation location changed to .bmad (hidden directory) for cleaner project root organization
Web Bundle Improvements:
- All web bundles (single agent and team) now include party mode support for multi-agent collaboration!
- Advanced elicitation capabilities integrated into standalone agents
- All bundles enhanced with party mode agent manifests
- Added default-party.csv files to bmm, bmgd, and cis module teams
- The default party file is what will be used with single agent bundles. teams can customize for different party configurations before web bundling through a setting in the team yaml file
- New web bundle outputs for all agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer, game-*, creative-squad)
Phase 4 Workflow Updates (In Progress):
- Initiated shift to separate phase 4 implementation artifacts from documentation
- Phase 4 implementation artifacts (stories, code review, sprint plan, context files) will move to dedicated location outside docs folder
- Installer questions and configuration added for artifact path selection
- Updated workflow.yaml files for code-review, sprint-planning, story-context, epic-tech-context, and retrospective workflows to support this, but still might require some udpates
Additional Changes:
- New agent and action command header models for standardization
- Enhanced web-bundle-activation-steps fragment
- Updated web-bundler.js to support new structure
- VS Code settings updated for new .bmad directory
- Party mode instructions and workflow enhanced for better orchestration
IDE Installer Updates:
- Show version number of installer in cli
- improved Installer UX
- Gemini TOML Improved to have clear loading instructions with @ commands
- All tools agent launcher mds improved to use a central file template critical indication isntead of hardcoding in 2 different locations.
