The bmad-module skill copied a module's files and distributed skills to IDEs,
but skipped four post-copy steps the full `bmad install --custom-source` path
performs, leaving modules incompletely installed:
- Merge each module's module-help.csv into _bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv (the
catalog bmad-help reads) — new lib/help-catalog.mjs
- Generate [modules.<code>] / [agents.<code>] blocks in config.toml /
config.user.toml from module.yaml (defaults + --set overrides), via a
targeted merge that preserves [core] and sibling modules — new lib/config-gen.mjs
- Create the working directories a module declares under `directories:`
(with move-on-path-change and wds_folders) — new lib/module-dirs.mjs
- Run `npm install --omit=dev` in place when a module ships package.json
(opt out via bmad.install.skipNpm) — new lib/npm-deps.mjs
All four run as a shared finishModuleInstall step wired into install, update,
and remove; every step is non-fatal so a module already committed to _bmad/
isn't lost to a post-copy hiccup. Adds a repeatable --set <code>.<key>=<value>
flag mirroring the installer.
Also fixes two latent issues in the manifest-driven copy that the new steps
depend on:
- moduleDefinition / moduleHelpCsv are now flattened to the module root even
when they live inside a declared skill dir (the setup-skill assets pattern);
previously claimedSrc dedup skipped them and the rewritten plugin.json
pointed at a non-existent ./module.yaml.
- package.json / package-lock.json are now copied so npm deps can install.
Tests: extends the integration suite with config/agent-roster, --set,
directory-creation, help-catalog, removal-cleanup, and npm assertions
(73/73 pass); adds a minimal-npm fixture and rewrites the comprehensive
fixture's module-help.csv to the canonical schema.

The bmad-module skill staged community modules under _bmad/<code>/ but never
pushed their skills out to the coding assistants the user selected at
`bmad install` time, so a freshly installed module was invisible to Claude
Code / Cursor / Copilot / etc. until a full reinstall; remove left skills
orphaned in the IDE dirs.
install/update/remove now distribute (or prune) skills to every IDE listed in
_bmad/_config/manifest.yaml and clean the redundant skill dirs from _bmad/,
matching how official modules end up.
Single engine, three callers — no fork:
- New tools/installer/core/ide-sync.js (syncIdes) wraps the real
IdeManager.setupBatch + platform-codes engine. The full installer
(_setupIdes/_cleanupSkillDirs), the new `bmad ide-sync` command, and the
skill all route through it, so new IDEs and engine changes propagate
everywhere automatically.
Local, dependency-free delivery — no npx/network at runtime:
- build-ide-sync.mjs esbuild-bundles the engine into vendor/ide-sync.mjs
(+ platform-codes.yaml), aliasing ../prompts and ../project-root to small
shims so @clack and the installer graph are dropped. The bundle ships inside
the skill tree (like yaml.mjs); the skill execs it locally. It's
generated-from-source and gated by vendor:check, refreshed on every install.
update/remove pass --prune with the module's canonicalIds so skills dropped
between versions (or on uninstall) are removed from IDE dirs + command
pointers. Graceful degradation: if the bundle is unreachable, the verb still
succeeds and points the user at `bmad ide-sync`.
Tests: new test/test-ide-sync.js drift-guard (engine == bundle, incl. prune),
integration.test.sh IDE-distribution section (offline), bundle self-check in
the build. All gates green (vendor:check, lint, format, test:install 349/349).

Replace the flat copy-list staging with a manifest-driven copy plan:
- buildCopyPlan maps declared skills/agents/commands and string-typed
Claude-Code surfaces into canonical install slots, copies conventional
top-level metadata, and drops anything not covered (no more leaking of
tools/, website/, .github/, etc.).
- rewriteManifestPaths emits a plugin.json whose paths point at the
canonical post-install locations, keeping the on-disk manifest
self-consistent inside _bmad/<code>/.
- stageCopyPlan stages the plan plus synthesized files (rewritten
plugin.json) into the tmp dir for the atomic swap.
install.mjs and update.mjs switch to the new plan/skillDestDirs flow and
drop the now-unused copy-list helpers.
