* fix(quick-dev): use absolute paths in code -r invocations
Agent CWD may differ from the project root in worktree setups,
causing relative paths to silently fail. Resolve paths via
git rev-parse --show-toplevel before invoking code -r.
* fix(quick-dev): add CWD fallback when git rev-parse fails
Adds graceful fallback to current working directory when
git rev-parse --show-toplevel fails (VCS unavailable).
* fix(quick-dev): make file path references clickable
Spec-file links use paths relative to the spec file's
directory (clickable in VS Code). Terminal output paths
use CWD-relative format for terminal clickability.
* fix(quick-dev): add :line suffix to step-oneshot path example
Aligns the file path example in step-oneshot.md with the clickable
`:line` format already enforced in step-03-implement.md and
step-05-present.md.

Switch skill discovery gate from requiring bmad-skill-manifest.yaml with
type: skill to detecting any directory with a valid SKILL.md (frontmatter
name + description, name matches directory name). Delete 34 stub manifests
that carried no data beyond type: skill. Agent manifests (9) are retained
for persona metadata consumed by agent-manifest.csv.
Inline workflow.md content directly into SKILL.md for: editorial-review-prose,
editorial-review-structure, help, index-docs, review-adversarial-general,
review-edge-case-hunter, and shard-doc. Deletes the now-redundant workflow.md
files. No behavioral change — same pattern as advanced-elicitation in PR #2076.

* fix(code-review): update sprint-status to done after review completes
The code-review workflow ended without updating sprint-status.yaml from
"review" to "done", leaving stories stuck in review status. The dev-story
workflow implies code-review handles this transition but it was dropped
during the v6.2.0 step-file architecture refactor.
- Add sprint_status path to workflow initialization
- Track story_key in step-01 when discovered from sprint status

* 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

* 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

boxed final summary with counts. Polish clean-review shortcut in triage.

* fix: separate subagent launch from skill invocation in code review
The step-02-review prompt fused "invoke skill X" with "in a subagent"
into one instruction, causing LLMs to search for a named agent instead
of launching a generic subagent that uses the skill. Aligns with the
working pattern in quick-dev step-04: upfront gate with inline fallback,
and "Invoke via the skill" as a separate concern from subagent setup.

Step-02 now displays the finalized spec file path as a CWD-relative

* refactor: consolidate agents into phase-based skill directories
Remove separate agent/workflow/skill directories (src/bmm/agents,

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
Remove all references to the old separate bmad-quick-spec and
bmad-quick-dev-new-preview workflows. The new bmad-quick-dev is a
unified workflow that handles intent clarification, planning,
implementation, review, and presentation in a single run.
Updated files across English docs, Chinese translations, source
skill manifests, website diagram, and build tooling.
- Remove name/description from step-03-implement.md frontmatter (STEP-06)
- Remove name/description from step-oneshot.md frontmatter (STEP-06)

One-shot and plan-code-review shared steps 3-5 which depend on spec

One-shot mode displays the review order in conversation output and has
no spec file to open. Guard the code -r step and spec-specific summary
items behind plan-code-review.
Replace vscode://file/ absolute URI links with workspace-root-relative
markdown links using #L anchors — portable across machines and worktrees.
Add code -r open-in-editor step with graceful fallback, and Ctrl+click
navigation tip for reviewers.
Step 5 now builds a concern-ordered trail of clickable vscode://file/
links with brief framing and appends it to the spec before committing.
Stops are sequenced by concern (not by file), lead with the entry point,
and use ≤15-word framing focused on design rationale. Single-concern
trails omit grouping labels. The trail is a standalone review artifact
useful without any skill.

* feat(agents): convert all BMM agents to conformant skill structure
Replace legacy XML-based .agent.yaml files with new SKILL.md + bmad-manifest.json
format for all 9 BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, qa, sm,
quick-flow-solo-dev, ux-designer, tech-writer). Each agent now has:
- SKILL.md with persona, activation flow (bmad-init, project context, dynamic menu)
- bmad-manifest.json with capabilities referencing external skills
- bmad-skill-manifest.yaml for party-mode agent-manifest.csv generation
Tech-writer includes internal prompt files for write-document, mermaid-gen,
validate-doc, and explain-concept capabilities.
Also includes core bmad-init skill and removes legacy agent compilation tests
that referenced the old .agent.yaml format.

* feat(installer): support new SKILL.md agent format in manifest generation
Update getAgentsFromDir to detect directories with bmad-skill-manifest.yaml

.md agents (XML parsing) and new-format SKILL.md agents (YAML manifest).

* fix(installer): install type:agent skills to IDE native skills directory
The collectSkills scanner only recognized type:skill manifests, causing
new-format agents (type:agent in bmad-skill-manifest.yaml) to be added
to agent-manifest.csv but not installed to .claude/skills/. Now both
type:skill and type:agent are recognized as installable skills, while
collectAgents still processes type:agent dirs for the agent manifest
even when claimed by the skill scanner.

The create-epics-and-stories workflow previously relegated UX Design
requirements to a vague "Additional Requirements" list, causing
actionable UX work items (design tokens, component proposals,
accessibility audits) to be silently dropped from the epic/story
breakdown.
Changes:
- step-01: Elevate UX Design extraction to first-class with dedicated
UX-DR identifiers and thorough extraction guidance
- step-03: Add UX Design integration guidance for story creation and
final validation coverage check
- epics-template: Add dedicated UX Design Requirements section

The code review workflow required finding 3-10 issues minimum per review
and forced the agent to keep looking if fewer than 3 were found. This
created an endless review cycle where every review manufactures issues
even after previous fixes were applied, because the workflow cannot
conclude with "no issues found."
Replace the hard minimum with a zero-issue sanity check that allows
clean reviews after a thorough re-examination, while preserving the
adversarial review approach for genuine issues.
When feeding brainstorming sessions into the PRD workflow, soft/qualitative
ideas (tone, personality, interaction design, coaching philosophy) get
silently dropped because they don't map cleanly to the PRD's structured
template (FR/NFR format). The resulting PRD reads as complete, so the
loss is invisible without manually diffing against the brainstorming output.
Add a reconciliation check in step-11 (polish) that cross-references the
brainstorming document against the finished PRD, flags ideas that didn't
land anywhere, and lets the user decide which to incorporate.
Replace single-file XML task with bmad-shard-doc/ skill directory
(SKILL.md, workflow.md, bmad-skill-manifest.yaml). Update parent
manifest and module-help.csv references. Preserves all 6 steps
including Step 6 branching logic for original document handling.

* fix(quick-dev): correct commit ordering, add loopback directive, fix typo
- step-05: set spec status to done before committing so the commit
captures the final state
- step-04: add explicit read-and-follow directive to intent_gap loopback
matching the pattern used by bad_spec
- SKILL.md: fix missing apostrophe in description
* fix(quick-dev): remove stray commit instruction from review step
The review step (step-04) had a bare "4. Commit." line that conflicted
with commit responsibility belonging solely to step-05-present.

* docs: drop slash-command syntax from skill references (editorial)
Skill names like bmad-help are now shown without a / prefix since
invocation syntax varies across platforms. First-encounter locations
(README, getting-started, get-answers, installer message, bmad-help
display rules) get editorial framing so new users understand these
are skill names to invoke by name.

* refactor(skills): add SKILL.md entrypoint to skill directories
Align skill source format with Open Skills standard: each skill
directory now contains a SKILL.md with name/description frontmatter
where name must match the directory name exactly. The installer
copies skill directories verbatim instead of generating SKILL.md.
- Add SKILL.md to both tracer bullet skill directories
- Strip name/description from workflow.md frontmatter (SKILL.md owns it)
- Installer reads metadata from SKILL.md, validates name matches dirname
- Install path in manifest CSV now points to SKILL.md
- Copy filter excludes OS/editor artifacts (.DS_Store, backups, dotfiles)
- Debug-guard validation messages, keep name-mismatch as hard error
- Add typeof guard for malformed YAML frontmatter
- Add negative test cases for parseSkillMd validation (Suite 30)
* fix(skills): improve quick-dev-new-preview description for LLM discovery
Add trigger context so LLMs know when to invoke the skill,
matching the "Use when..." pattern used by other skills.
* fix(cli): validate frontmatter name/description are strings in parseSkillMd
Prevents cleanForCSV() crash when YAML parses name or description as
a non-string type (number, object, boolean).
* fix(cli): address PR review findings (mkdtemp, regex escape, recursive filter)
- Replace Date.now() temp dir with fs.mkdtemp() in Suite 30 tests (F5)
- Replace unescaped RegExp with startsWith/slice for path prefix stripping (F7)
- Apply artifact filter recursively via fs.copy filter option (F8)

* fix: preserve standalone module provenance in path-utils serializers
toDashName/toUnderscoreName collapsed core and standalone to the same
filename, making parseDashName/parseUnderscoreName unable to round-trip

to reconstruct module:'standalone' on the reverse path.

* refactor(augment): remove legacy YAML/XML workflow rules from code review guidelines
All workflows have been converted to markdown. Remove workflow.yaml,
workflow.xml, and config_source references from Augment review rules.
Drop the entire xml_workflows section (5 rules) and the YAML-specific
standard_workflow_instructions rule.
* refactor: extract discover_inputs protocol from workflow.xml into co-located markdown
Convert the discover_inputs XML protocol (FULL_LOAD, SELECTIVE_LOAD,
INDEX_GUIDED strategies) into standalone markdown files placed alongside
the two workflows that use it (create-story, code-review). Replace
<invoke-protocol> tags with explicit file references. This decouples
the workflows from workflow.xml, enabling its deletion in a follow-up.

* feat(tasks): convert review-adversarial-general from XML task to native skill
Convert the simplest core task (review-adversarial-general.xml) from
type:task XML format to type:skill markdown format. This establishes
the pattern for converting remaining XML tasks to self-contained skills.
- Convert XML task to workflow.md with frontmatter, role, execution steps
- Add type:skill manifest for verbatim directory copying
- Extend manifest-generator getTasksFromDir to recurse into subdirectories
and detect type:skill entries (mirrors existing workflow skill detection)
- Update cross-references in quick-dev-new-preview, quick-dev, quick-spec
- Update module-help.csv to use skill: prefix
* refactor: replace file path references with skill name invocations
Consumers of review-adversarial-general now invoke by skill name
instead of loading via _bmad/ file path. Removes the indirection
variable from frontmatter and inlines the skill name directly.
* refactor(installer): scan tasks/ for type:skill entries
Teach collectWorkflows to also scan the tasks/ subdirectory for
type:skill entries. Skills can live anywhere in the source tree —
the workflow scanner just needs to look in more places.
* fix: update stale task terminology to skill after format conversion

* feat(skills): add type:skill manifest for verbatim skill directory copying
Introduce `type: skill` in bmad-skill-manifest.yaml to signal the
installer to copy entire skill directories verbatim into IDE skill
directories, replacing the launcher-based approach.
Changes:
- skill-manifest.js: fix single-entry detection for type-only manifests,
add getArtifactType export
- manifest-generator.js: collect type:skill entries separately, write
skill-manifest.csv, derive canonicalId from directory name
- _config-driven.js: add installVerbatimSkills with YAML-safe SKILL.md
generation, stale file cleanup, and warning on parse failures
- Rename quick-dev-new-preview to bmad-quick-dev-new-preview so
directory name is the canonical ID
- Update workflow.md installed_path to reference IDE skill base directory
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor: replace {installed_path} with relative paths in quick-dev skill

* fix(installer): preserve bmad-os-* skills during cleanup
The cleanupTarget method removed all entries starting with "bmad" from
IDE skills directories, which would also wipe version-controlled
bmad-os-* skills from the BMAD-METHOD repo. Add exclusion for the
bmad-os- prefix so those skills survive reinstalls.
* docs: flag all unverified platforms for manual IDE testing
Add NEEDS MANUAL IDE VERIFICATION to KiloCoder, Gemini CLI, iFlow,

* fix(installer): suspend Kilo Code and add verified Gemini/Crush results
Kilo Code does not support the Agent Skills standard — the migration
from modes+workflows to skills was based on a false fork assumption.
- Add suspended field to platform-codes.yaml, hiding Kilo from the IDE
picker and blocking setup with a clear message
- Fail the installer early (before writing _bmad/) if all selected IDEs
are suspended, protecting existing installations from being corrupted
- Still clean up legacy Kilo artifacts (.kilocodemodes, .kilocode/workflows)
when users switch to a different IDE
- Mark Crush and Gemini CLI as manually verified (both work end-to-end)
- Replace Suite 22 install tests with suspended-behavior tests (7 assertions)
* docs: update KiloCoder checklist to reflect suspended status
* fix(skills): add canonicalIds for BMM research and PRD workflows
Drop the bmm module prefix from 6 workflow skill names so they
install as bmad-create-prd, bmad-domain-research, etc. instead of
bmad-bmm-create-prd, bmad-bmm-domain-research, etc.
* fix(installer): address PR review findings from automated reviewers
Triage of 18 findings from Augment and CodeRabbit reviews on PR #1841:
Source code fixes:
- Exclude bmad-os-* from findAncestorConflict to match cleanupTarget
- Wrap cleanupCopilotInstructions in try/catch (best-effort, not fatal)
- Wrap suspended-platform cleanup in try/catch (failure boundary)
- Clean up temp backup dirs in catch block when install aborts
- Normalize IDE keys to lowercase before suspended lookup
- Delete dead loadCustomInstallerFiles method and stale references
- Rename "Roo Cline" to "Roo Code" in both platform-codes.yaml files
- Fix Gemini CLI package name (@google/gemini-cli, not @anthropic-ai)
Test improvements:
- Add name/frontmatter invariant check to 6 missing platform suites
- Assert stale bmad-architect skill is removed after cleanup

These manifests were missed during the all-is-skills migration (#1834),
leaving 6 workflows undiscoverable by the native skills installer.

* feat(skills): add canonical bmad- naming via skill manifests
Add bmad-skill-manifest.yaml sidecars to all 38 capabilities (tasks,
agents, workflows) declaring canonicalId as the single source of truth
for skill names. Update Claude Code and Codex installers to prefer
canonicalId over path-derived names, with graceful fallback.
- 24 manifest files covering 38 capabilities
- New shared skill-manifest.js utility for manifest loading
- resolveSkillName() in path-utils.js bridges manifest → installer
- All command generators propagate canonicalId through CSV manifests
- Drops bmm module prefix from all user-facing skill names

* feat(skills): claude-code installer outputs .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
Refactor the config-driven installer to emit Agent Skills Open Standard
format for Claude Code: directory-per-skill with SKILL.md entrypoint,
unquoted YAML frontmatter, and full canonical names.

* refactor(installer): migrate codex to config-driven pipeline
Delete the custom codex.js installer (441 lines) and route Codex
through the config-driven pipeline via platform-codes.yaml. This
fixes 7 task/tool descriptions that were generic due to bypassing
manifests, and eliminates duplicate transformToSkillFormat code.
Key changes:
- Add codex entry to platform-codes.yaml with skill_format + legacy_targets
- Remove codex from custom installer list in manager.js
- Add installCustomAgentLauncher() to config-driven for custom agent support
- Add detect() override for skill_format platforms (bmad-prefix check)
- Set configDir from target_dir for base-class detect() compatibility

* fix(test): replace _bmad filesystem dependency with self-contained fixture
The installation component tests walked up the filesystem looking for a
pre-installed _bmad directory, which exists locally but not in CI. Replace
findInstalledBmadDir() with createTestBmadFixture() that creates a minimal
temp directory with fake compiled agents, making tests fully self-contained.
