* feat(bmm): add bmad-prd skill and extend product-brief with external integrations
Consolidates the legacy create-prd/edit-prd/validate-prd trio into a single
lean facilitator with create/update/validate intent modes, following the
bmad-product-brief pattern. Both skills gain external_sources and
external_handoffs customize.toml fields for routing through corporate MCP
tools (Confluence, Jira, etc.) with graceful degradation, plus a File roles
constraint clarifying decision-log (audit trail) vs addendum (preserved
depth for downstream docs).
* refactor(bmad-prd): tighten SKILL.md and operationalize source-extractor pattern
- Compress Overview to remove coaching prose duplicated in Discovery
- Operationalize "Extract, don't ingest" with explicit subagent return contract; reference from Update, Validate, and Finalize input reconciliation instead of inline "read N documents"
- Fix Overview H1 -> H2 (was breaking pre-pass tooling)
- Move full headless JSON schemas to assets/headless-schemas.md; keep minimal example inline
- Compress File roles bullet; tighten Finalize step 1
SKILL.md: 124 -> 105 lines, ~4729 -> ~4467 tokens
* feat(bmad-prd): open-items gate, drop distillate, persona discipline, decision-log metadata
- Add Finalize "Open-items review" step (new step 4): counts OQs / [ASSUMPTION] / [NOTE FOR PM], walks them with user, flags high density as red flag against agreed stakes
- Validate now treats open-items density as a first-class finding category
- Resume / continuity surfaces open items deterministically as the first orientation step
- Drop the PRD's own distillate output and the bmad-distillator finalize step. Downstream workflows (UX, architecture, story creation) source-extract from prd.md directly via the canonical source-extractor pattern. Headless schemas, customize.toml comments, and template updated accordingly.
- Drop "status: draft" from PRD frontmatter and template; version/state transitions logged to decision-log.md instead. Finalize step 7 records the version transition entry.
- Add PRD Discipline bullet: personas must be research-grounded or marked [ILLUSTRATIVE]; must drive decisions; 2-4 personas max. Discipline pass enforces.
- Expand File roles bullet: competitive-analysis detail beyond a one-line landscape and operational/cost mechanics (rate-limiting, compression) belong in addendum
* feat(bmad-prd): outcome-driven trim, swappable validation checklist, HTML report
SKILL.md trim (4.7K -> ~3.2K tokens, 124 -> 93 lines):
- Cut anchor enumerations (HIPAA/PCI/NIST list, API/Mobile/Web list, hobby->regulated list, "fast/easy/scalable/intuitive", input enumerations, etc.) the LLM already knows
- Cut derivable reasoning (synonyms-cause-drift explanation, hobby-vs-enterprise examples, etc.)
- Cut good/bad examples that anchor LLM attention (password/SendGrid example, persona quote, "let me also add this nearby thing")
- Drop SMART-ceremony language from Measurable bullet (keep judgment-not-ritual; SMART principles fine)
Progressive disclosure to references/:
- Headless mode rules + JSON minimal example moved to references/headless.md (loaded only when invoked headless)
- On Activation step 6 gates mode detection: headless -> read references/headless.md and follow
Swappable validation checklist:
- New assets/prd-validation-checklist.md (15 items: Quality / Discipline / Structural / Stakes-gated, each one line)
- New customize.toml field validation_checklist (override per org)
- Used by Validate intent AND Finalize Step 3 -- same subagent, same checklist, two moments
- Replaces bmad-validate-prd's 13-step micro-file architecture; kept the valuable check dimensions (density, measurability, traceability, implementation leakage, etc.) and dropped the ceremony
HTML validation report:
- New scripts/render-validation-html.py (PEP 723, stdlib only, ~175 lines) renders structured findings JSON into a styled HTML report with pass/warn/fail grade, inline SVG score bar, category grouping
- New assets/validation-report-template.html (inline CSS, native <details>, no JS, no external deps) -- swappable via customize.toml validation_report_template
- New references/validation-render.md documents the subagent output contract and renderer invocation; loaded only when validate flow runs
- Auto-opens browser on interactive runs; headless skips the open
Mode flow consistency:
- Create and Update both now explicitly "proceed to ## Finalize"
- Validate / analyze is standalone -- explicit "does NOT enter ## Finalize"; renderer auto-opens the HTML
- analyze is a synonym for validate; intent detection routes both
- Update mode no longer has its own light-close validation step (Finalize Step 3 covers it)
* refactor(product-brief,bmad-prd): remove distillation from brief and PRD workflows
Drop bmad-distillator integration from bmad-product-brief (finalize step,
update mode, headless JSON, constraints) and clean up customize.toml comments.
Distillation is the wrong layer — story self-containment via epic solution
design docs is the right answer for downstream context.
Also commit pending bmad-prd changes: working mode selector (Express vs
Facilitative), open-items triage into phase-blocking/resolvable/deferred
buckets, persistence wording fix, and facilitation-guide reference.
* refactor(bmad-prd): aggressive SKILL.md compression, remove LLM-obvious content
* feat(bmad-prd,bmad-product-brief): surface party-mode and advanced-elicitation at opening
* refactor(bmm): retire bmad-create-prd/edit/validate, point docs and PM agent at bmad-prd
Removes the three separate PRD skills (create, edit, validate) in favor of the
unified bmad-prd skill. Updates module-help.csv, PM agent menu, workflow map,
getting-started tutorial, commands reference, customize/help SKILL.md examples,
and the website workflow-map diagram. Adds Recipe 6 (Advanced Integration
Patterns) to expand-bmad-for-your-org.md covering external_sources,
external_handoffs, doc_standards, and swappable templates.
* test(bmad-product-brief): drop distillate from evals
Distillate was removed from the product-brief workflow in 1a88f001
but the eval suite still checked for distillate.md artifacts, the
bmad-distillator subagent invocation, and the polish→distillate phase
ordering. Strip all distillate references from A1/A5/B1/B2/B3/B5/B6,
remove B4 (phase-ordering eval centered on distillate) and B8 (pure
distillate eval), update _design_notes, and delete the orphan
distillate.md fixture from the forkbird-brief input set. IDs preserved
(gaps at B4, B8) so existing references stay stable.
* fix(bmad-prd): validation report only on explicit analysis request
Reconciles a contradiction across SKILL.md, validation-render.md,
headless.md, and headless-schemas.md about when validation-report.{html,md}
gets written. Rule: a report file is only written when the user has
specifically asked for analysis — Validate intent, or a mid-session
"produce a report" request. The Finalize discipline pass during
Create/Update keeps findings in-conversation: autofix obvious issues,
ask on ambiguous ones, never write a file.
- SKILL.md: Finalize step 3 no longer renders a report; Validate intent
wording softened from "HTML report" to "validation report".
- references/validation-render.md: drops the severity-based conditional
for markdown emission. Script now always writes both HTML and MD
side-by-side when invoked; trigger gating happens upstream.
- assets/headless-schemas.md: drops the "may be omitted in interactive
mode" caveat; validation_report is required for Validate intent.
- scripts/render-validation-html.py: adds render_markdown_report()
emitting a severity-grouped markdown companion at output_path.with_suffix('.md').
Returns markdown path in the stdout JSON summary alongside HTML path.
* fix(bmm-skills): address remaining PR review nits
- headless-schemas.md: Update schema gains `external_handoffs` to match
SKILL.md which routes Update through Finalize (handoffs execute there).
- bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md: "Use the bmad-help skill" → "Invoke
bmad-help" to align with REF-03 and the bmad-prd phrasing.
- bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md: hyphenate "high-quality draft".
* feat(bmm): add deprecation shims for retired PRD skills
Re-adds bmad-create-prd, bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd as thin
compatibility shims so existing invocations by name and
_bmad/custom/bmad-{create,edit,validate}-prd.toml override files keep
working post-consolidation. Each shim contains only SKILL.md and
customize.toml — no steps, data, or templates.
On activation, each shim:
1. Resolves customization via resolve_customization.py, picking up any
legacy override files for the four legacy fields (activation_steps_*,
persistent_facts, on_complete).
2. Emits a one-time deprecation notice in {communication_language},
pointing at bmad-prd and the migration path for override files.
3. Invokes bmad-prd with the appropriate intent (create / update /
validate), passes through the resolved legacy customization with
instruction to use these values instead of re-resolving from
bmad-prd's own customize.toml, and forwards the original user input
verbatim.
bmad-prd continues to read its own customize.toml + bmad-prd.toml
overrides for the new-only fields (prd_template, validation_checklist,
doc_standards, output_dir, output_folder_name, external_sources,
external_handoffs, validation_report_template). Users wanting those
fields must migrate to invoking bmad-prd directly.
* polish(bmm): refine PRD deprecation shim wording
Three small revisions applied uniformly to all three shims
(bmad-create-prd, bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd):
- Tighten the frontmatter description to a single sentence naming the
intent and signaling v7 removal.
- Drop the redundant "On failure, surface the diagnostic and halt."
trailer from the resolve-customization step; resolve_customization.py
surfaces errors itself.
- Extend the user-facing deprecation notice to clarify that legacy
override fields still resolve under bmad-prd, so migration is for
unlocking new fields rather than restoring lost functionality.
* fix(bmad-prd): normalize status casing and add friendly file errors
- compute_stats: lower-case `status` before bucketing so findings with
any casing (e.g. "Pass") feed the stat buckets and the score bar
fills correctly. Matches the .lower() pattern already used in
render_finding and render_finding_md.
- main: wrap findings/template read_text calls; emit a one-line error
to stderr and return 1 on FileNotFoundError or JSONDecodeError
instead of dumping a raw traceback. Script is LLM-invoked, so a
clean diagnostic is the contract.

* docs(expand): refresh "five recipes" copy to reflect Recipe 6
Recipe 6 (Advanced Integration Patterns) was added but three earlier
mentions still said "five": the frontmatter description, the intro
sentence at line 8, and the "Combining Recipes" paragraph. Update all
three to "six" and extend the Combining-Recipes example to call out
Recipe 6 (external_sources / external_handoffs) alongside the others.
Addresses coderabbitai review comment 3235107194 and the two
outside-diff observations on lines 3 and 8.

* fix(bmad-prd): utf-8 encoding on render script, correct workflow-map outputs
- render-validation-html.py reads findings/template and writes HTML/MD with
explicit utf-8 encoding so non-ASCII content (smart quotes, em-dashes,
non-English text under {document_output_language}) does not break on
platforms whose default encoding is not utf-8.
- workflow-map.md 'Produces' column for bmad-prd now distinguishes
Create/Update outputs from the Validate intent's validation-report
artifacts.

* 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: 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

* 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

* 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
* 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(docs): migrate from Docusaurus to Astro+Starlight
Replace Docusaurus with Astro and the Starlight documentation theme
for improved performance, better customization, and modern tooling.
Build pipeline changes:
- New build-docs.js orchestrates link checking, artifact generation,
and Astro build in sequence
- Add check-doc-links.js for validating internal links and anchors
- Generate llms.txt and llms-full.txt for LLM-friendly documentation
- Create downloadable source bundles (bmad-sources.zip, bmad-prompts.zip)
- Suppress MODULE_TYPELESS_PACKAGE_JSON warning in Astro build
- Output directly to build/site for cleaner deployment
Website architecture:
- Add rehype-markdown-links.js plugin to transform .md links to routes
- Add site-url.js helper for GitHub Pages URL resolution with strict
validation (throws on invalid GITHUB_REPOSITORY format)
- Custom Astro components: Banner, Header, MobileMenuFooter
- Symlink docs/ into website/src/content/docs for Starlight
Documentation cleanup:
- Remove Docusaurus _category_.json files (Starlight uses frontmatter)
- Convert all docs to use YAML frontmatter with title field
- Move downloads.md from website/src/pages to docs/
- Consolidate style guide and workflow diagram docs
- Add 404.md and tutorials/index.md
