The "elite developer" role with "implement autonomously" and "minimum
ceremony" language actively encouraged the model to skip workflow steps
when it judged the task was simple enough. Replaced with a concrete goal
and a critical rule enforcing step-file compliance.

Move step files from steps/ subdirectory to the skill root directory
and update path references in workflow.md and step-02-plan.md.

- Change bmad-skill-manifest.yaml from type:workflow to type:skill
- Add SKILL.md with frontmatter for installer discovery
- Remove installed_path, use relative ./steps/ refs internally
- Update module-help.csv to skill:bmad-party-mode
- Update compiler.js hardcoded PM menu path
- Update 43 cross-references to IDE-agnostic _bmad/ path
- Update test fixtures for renamed directory

* 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)

* 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
Address review findings from PR #1857: replace remaining "task"
references with "skill" in workflow steps and test documentation.

* 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

* refactor: replace {installed_path} with relative paths in quick-dev skill
Skills resolve paths relative to the skill root directory per the
open agent standard, so the installed_path variable is unnecessary.

* feat(skills): add install_to_bmad flag and skill: help catalog reference
Add install_to_bmad flag to skill manifests (default true) enabling
skills to opt out of _bmad/ copy while retaining .claude/skills/
installation. Support skill:<canonicalId> references in module-help.csv
workflow-file column. Fix stale quick-dev-new-preview directory
references in agent YAML and help catalog.

* test: add install_to_bmad design contract tests
Unit tests against getInstallToBmad and loadSkillManifest that nail
down the 4 core design decisions for the install_to_bmad flag.

* fix: reset skills array between runs and allow skill-only targets
- Reset this.skills and this.files in ManifestGenerator to prevent stale
data when instance is reused across multiple manifest runs
- Allow targets with empty artifact_types to still install verbatim
skills by checking skill_format before short-circuiting

* fix: resolve broken file references in quick-dev-new-preview workflow
- Fix step-02-plan.md templateFile path (./tech-spec-template.md → ../tech-spec-template.md)
- Teach validate-file-refs.js to skip skill: prefixed references in CSV
