+description: Generate social media announcements for Discord, Twitter, and LinkedIn from the latest changelog entry. Use when user asks to create release announcements, social posts, or share changelog updates. Reads CHANGELOG.md in current working directory. Reference examples/ for tone and format.
+disable-model-invocation: true
+---
+
+# Changelog Social
+
+Generate engaging social media announcements from changelog entries.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Extract Changelog Entry
+
+Read `./CHANGELOG.md` and extract the latest version entry. The changelog follows this format:
+
+```markdown
+## [VERSION]
+
+### 🎁 Features
+* **Title** — Description
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+* **Title** — Description
+
+### 📚 Documentation
+* **Title** — Description
+
+### 🔧 Maintenance
+* **Title** — Description
+```
+
+Parse:
+- **Version number** (e.g., `6.0.0-Beta.5`)
+- **Features** - New functionality, enhancements
+- **Bug Fixes** - Fixes users will care about
+- **Documentation** - New or improved docs
+- **Maintenance** - Dependency updates, tooling improvements
+
+### Step 2: Get Git Contributors
+
+Use git log to find contributors since the previous version. Get commits between the current version tag and the previous one:
+
+```bash
+# Find the previous version tag first
+git tag --sort=-version:refname | head -5
+
+# Get commits between versions with PR numbers and authors
+git log <previous-tag>..<current-tag> --pretty=format:"%h|%s|%an" --grep="#"
+```
+
+Extract PR numbers from commit messages that contain `#` followed by digits. Compile unique contributors.
+
+### Step 3: Generate Discord Announcement
+
+**Limit: 2,000 characters per message.** Split into multiple messages if needed.
+
+Use this template style:
+
+```markdown
+🚀 **BMad vVERSION RELEASED!**
+
+🎉 [Brief hype sentence]
+
+🪥 **KEY HIGHLIGHT** - [One-line summary]
+
+🎯 **CATEGORY NAME**
+• Feature one - brief description
+• Feature two - brief description
+• Coming soon: Future teaser
+
+🔧 **ANOTHER CATEGORY**
+• Fix or feature
+• Another item
+
+📚 **DOCS OR OTHER**
+• Item
+• Item with link
+
+🌟 **COMMUNITY PHILOSOPHY** (optional - include for major releases)
+• Everything is FREE - No paywalls
+• Knowledge shared, not sold

+☕ Donate: buymeacoffee.com/bmad
+
+🔥 **Next version tease!**
+```
+
+**Content Strategy:**
+- Focus on **user impact** - what's better for them?
+- Highlight **annoying bugs fixed** that frustrated users
+- Show **new capabilities** that enable workflows
+- Keep it **punchy** - use emojis and short bullets
+- Add **personality** - excitement, humor, gratitude
+
+### Step 4: Generate Twitter Post
+
+**Limit: 25,000 characters per tweet (Premium).** With Premium, use a single comprehensive post matching the Discord style (minus Discord-specific formatting). Aim for 1,500-3,000 characters for better engagement.
+
+**Threads are optional** — only use for truly massive releases where you want multiple engagement points.
+
+See `examples/twitter-example.md` for the single-post Premium format.
+
+## Content Selection Guidelines
+
+**Include:**
+- New features that change workflows
+- Bug fixes for annoying/blocking issues
+- Documentation that helps users
+- Performance improvements
+- New agents or workflows
+- Breaking changes (call out clearly)
+
+**Skip/Minimize:**
+- Internal refactoring
+- Dependency updates (unless user-facing)
+- Test improvements
+- Minor style fixes
+
+**Emphasize:**
+- "Finally fixed" issues
+- "Faster" operations
+- "Easier" workflows
+- "Now supports" capabilities
+
+## Examples
+
+Reference example posts in `examples/` for tone and formatting guidance:
+
+- **discord-example.md** — Full Discord announcement with emojis, sections, contributor shout-outs
+- **twitter-example.md** — Twitter thread format (5 tweets max for major releases)
+- **linkedin-example.md** — Professional post for major/minor releases with significant features
+
+**When to use LinkedIn:**
+- Major version releases (e.g., v6.0.0 Beta, v7.0.0)
+- Minor releases with exceptional new features
+- Community milestone announcements
+
+Read the appropriate example file before generating to match the established style and voice.
+
+## Output Format
+
+Present both announcements in clearly labeled sections:
+
+```markdown
+## Discord Announcement
+
+[paste Discord content here]
+
+## Twitter Post
+
+[paste Twitter content here]
+```
+
+Offer to make adjustments if the user wants different emphasis, tone, or content.

+Project path (or run from project root)
+
+## Step 1: Identify Current State
+- Get the latest released tag
+- Get current version
+- Verify there are commits since the last release
+
+## Step 2: Launch Explore Agent
+
+Use `thoroughness: "very thorough"` to analyze all changes since the last release tag.
+
+**Key: For each merge commit, look up the merged PR/issue that was closed.**
+- Use `gh pr view` or git commit body to find the PR number
+- Read the PR description and comments to understand full context
+- Don't rely solely on commit merge messages - they lack context
+
+**Analyze:**
+
+1. **All merges/commits** since the last tag
+2. **For each merge, read the original PR/issue** that was closed
+3. **Files changed** with statistics
+4. **Categorize changes:**
+   - 🎁 **Features** - New functionality, new agents, new workflows
+   - 🐛 **Bug Fixes** - Fixed bugs, corrected issues
+   - ♻️ **Refactoring** - Code improvements, reorganization
+   - 📚 **Documentation** - Docs updates, README changes
+   - 🔧 **Maintenance** - Dependency updates, tooling, infrastructure
+   - 💥 **Breaking Changes** - Changes that may affect users
+
+**Provide:**
+- Comprehensive summary of ALL changes with PR context
+- Categorization of each change
+- Identification of breaking changes
+- Significance assessment (major/minor/trivial)
+
+## Step 3: Generate Draft Changelog
+
+Format:
+```markdown
+## v0.X.X - [Date]
+
+* [Change 1 - categorized by type]
+* [Change 2]
+```
+
+Guidelines:
+- Present tense ("Fix bug" not "Fixed bug")
+- Most significant changes first
+- Group related changes
+- Clear, concise language
+- For breaking changes, clearly indicate impact
+
+## Step 4: Present Draft
+
+Show the draft with current version, last tag, commit count, and options to edit/retry.

-# GitHub Issue Triage with AI Analysis
-
-**CRITICAL RULES:**
-- NEVER include time or effort estimates in output or recommendations
-- Focus on WHAT needs to be done, not HOW LONG it takes
-- Use Bash tool with gh CLI for all GitHub operations
-
-## Execution Plan
-
-You will perform GitHub issue triage using AI agents for deep analysis:
-
-### Step 1: Fetch Issues
-Use `gh issue list` to fetch all open issues from the current repository in JSON format.
-
-### Step 2: Batch Creation
-Split issues into batches of ~10 issues each for parallel analysis.
-
-### Step 3: Parallel Agent Analysis
-For EACH batch, use the Task tool with `subagent_type=general-purpose` to launch an agent with this prompt:
-
-```
-You are analyzing a batch of GitHub issues for deep understanding and triage.
-
-**YOUR TASK:**
-Read the issues in your batch and provide DEEP analysis:
-
-1. **For EACH issue, analyze:**
-   - What is this ACTUALLY about? (beyond keywords)
-   - What component/system does it affect?
-   - What's the impact and severity?
-   - Is it a bug, feature request, or something else?
-   - What specific theme does it belong to?
-
-2. **PRIORITY ASSESSMENT:**
-   - CRITICAL: Blocks users, security issues, data loss, broken installers
-   - HIGH: Major functionality broken, important features missing
-   - MEDIUM: Workarounds available, minor bugs, nice-to-have features
-   - LOW: Edge cases, cosmetic issues, questions
-
-3. **RELATIONSHIPS:**
-   - Duplicates: Near-identical issues about the same problem
-   - Related: Issues connected by theme or root cause
-   - Dependencies: One issue blocks or requires another
-
-**YOUR BATCH:**
-[Paste the batch of issues here - each with number, title, body, labels]
-
-**OUTPUT FORMAT (JSON only, no markdown):**
-{
-  "issues": [
-    {
-      "number": 123,
-      "title": "issue title",

-
-### Executive Summary
-- Total issues analyzed

-### Cross-Repo Issues
-Issues that should be migrated to other repositories (bmad-builder, bmad-module-creative-intelligence-suite, bmad-module-game-dev-studio, bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise).
-
-For each, provide:
-```
-gh issue close XXX --repo CURRENT_REPO --comment "This issue belongs in REPO. Please report at https://github.com/TARGET_REPO/issues/new"
-```
-
-### Cleanup Candidates
-- **v4-related:** Deprecated version issues with close commands
-- **Stale:** No activity >30 days
-- **Low priority + old:** Low priority issues >60 days old

+title: "Build a Complete Web App Using BMAD Method Workflows"
+---
+
+Use the BMAD Method workflows to build a complete web application from initial idea to deployed code with comprehensive planning and testing. This guide follows the development of a simple Habit Tracker app to illustrate the concepts, but these same workflows apply to any web application project.
+
+## When to Use This
+
+- You have an idea for an app and want proper planning before coding
+- You're new to the BMAD Method and want to see all workflows in action
+- You want to build something substantial (10+ user stories) with full architecture
+- You prefer comprehensive planning over jumping straight to code
+- You need documentation and testing as part of your deliverables
+
+## When to Skip This
+
+- Simple features or bug fixes (use Quick Flow instead)
+- Rapid prototyping where planning overhead isn't justified
+- You already have detailed requirements and architecture (you can skip some but not all of this)
+
+:::note[Prerequisites]
+- BMAD Core Platform installed with BMM module
+- Basic understanding of web development concepts
+- Willingness to invest time in planning before implementation

+title: "Create a Custom Agent Using BMAD Method Workflows"
+---
+
+Use the BMAD Method workflows to design, build, and deploy a custom AI agent from initial concept to a delightful interactive persona that users love engaging with. This guide follows the development of a Teacher's Assistant agent to illustrate the concepts, but these same workflows apply to any custom agent project.
+
+## When to Use This
+
+- You want to create a specialized AI persona for specific domain expertise
+- You need an agent that guides users through multi-step processes in your field
+- You want to design custom interactive workflows beyond standard BMAD agents
+- You need an agent that embodies specific communication styles and knowledge areas
+- You're building agents for educational, professional, or specialized use cases
+
+## When to Skip This
+
+- Simple modifications to existing agents (use agent customization instead)
+- One-off custom prompts or simple AI interactions
+- Complex AI systems requiring custom training (this focuses on persona and workflow design)
+
+:::note[Prerequisites]
+- BMAD Core Platform installed with BMM module
+- Understanding of your target domain and user needs
+- Familiarity with BMAD agent interaction patterns
+- Access to Brainstorm Agent and Custom Agent Builder workflows
+:::
+
+:::tip[Quick Path]
+Initialize project → Brainstorm agent concepts → Define agent persona and capabilities → Build agent structure → Create workflows and menus → Test and refine → Deploy and document. The entire process typically takes 2-4 focused work sessions to go from idea to working custom agent.
+:::
+
+## Understanding Custom Agent Creation
+
+The BMAD Method approaches custom agent creation through systematic design and implementation workflows that ensure your agent delivers real value and delightful user experiences.
+
+| Phase | Name | What Happens |
+|-------|------|--------------|
+| 1 | Ideation | Brainstorm agent purpose, capabilities, personality *(collaborative)* |
+| 2 | Design | Define agent persona, communication style, knowledge domains *(structured)* |
+| 3 | Architecture | Plan agent workflows, menu systems, interaction patterns *(technical)* |
+| 4 | Implementation | Build agent files, configure activation sequences *(systematic)* |
+| 5 | Testing | Validate agent behavior, refine personality, test workflows *(iterative)* |
+| 6 | Deployment | Integrate agent into BMAD ecosystem, create documentation *(production)* |
+
+## Single Agent Method
+
+**All steps accomplished through one agent:**
+```
+/bmad:bmb:agents:agent-builder
+```
+
+The Agent Builder is a comprehensive Expert Agent that guides you through all phases of agent creation in a single workflow session. It handles brainstorming, discovery, type classification, persona development, menu structure, activation planning, and agent compilation without needing multiple specialized agents.
+
+## Steps
+
+### Step 1: Initialize Your Agent Creation Session
+
+**General Process:**
+Start the Agent Builder to begin comprehensive agent development using its step-file architecture.
+
+```
+/bmad:bmb:agents:agent-builder
+3. [CA] Create a new BMAD agent with best practices and compliance
+```
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+When prompted for initial agent concept:
+- **Agent name:** "Teacher's Assistant"
+- **Primary domain:** "Education and learning facilitation"
+- **Target users:** "Students seeking homework help and concept understanding"
+- **Agent scope:** "Socratic questioning, scaffolding techniques, progress tracking"
+
+**Your Application:**
+Provide these key elements for any agent:
+- Clear agent purpose *(e.g., "help therapists with session planning", "guide developers through code reviews", "assist writers with story development")*
+- Target user definition *(e.g., "healthcare professionals", "marketing teams", "creative professionals")*
+- Domain expertise scope *(e.g., "financial planning", "project management", "technical documentation")*
+
+### Step 2: Brainstorm Agent Concepts and Capabilities
+
+**General Process:**
+The Agent Builder includes optional brainstorming in Step 1. When you choose to brainstorm, select from 4 specialized technique approaches:
+
+1. **User-Selected Techniques** - Browse the complete technique library
+2. **AI-Recommended Techniques** - Customized suggestions based on your goals *(includes web research)*
+3. **Random Technique Selection** - Discover unexpected creative methods
+4. **Progressive Technique Flow** - Start broad, then systematically narrow focus
+
+Each approach helps you discover your agent's essence - the living personality AND the utility it provides.
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+Using AI-Recommended Techniques approach, we discovered:
+- **Core purpose:** "Guide students through understanding using educational best practices without providing direct answers"
+- **Key capabilities:** "Socratic questioning, scaffolding techniques, progress tracking, adaptive teaching methods"
+- **Personality traits:** "Patient mentor, educationally rigorous, never gives up on student learning"
+
+**Your Application:**
+Define these elements for any agent:
+- **Core purpose:** What main problem does your agent solve for users?
+- **Key capabilities:** What specific tasks should your agent excel at?
+- **Personality traits:** How should your agent communicate and behave?
+
+### Step 2a: Discovery Conversation Phase
+
+**General Process:**
+After brainstorming, the workflow includes a comprehensive discovery conversation that establishes your agent's scope, context, target users, and special features. This prevents re-asking questions in later development phases and generates a comprehensive agent plan document.
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+Discovery conversation explored:
+- **Target Scope:** All educational interactions across grade levels and subjects
+- **Primary Context:** Home tutoring and independent study environments
+- **Communication Strategy:** Age-appropriate language complexity while maintaining concept integrity
+- **Persistence Philosophy:** "No giving up allowed" - always find alternative approaches
+- **Progress Tracking:** Subject-specific learning profiles with technique effectiveness monitoring
+- **Validation Approaches:** Student explanation + pop-quiz verification of understanding
+
+**Your Application:**
+The discovery phase will explore for any agent:
+- **Target Scope:** Who specifically will use your agent and in what contexts?
+- **Primary Context:** Where and how will your agent be used most frequently?
+- **Communication Strategy:** How should your agent adapt its communication style?
+- **Core Philosophy:** What principles guide your agent's decision-making?
+- **Special Features:** What unique capabilities set your agent apart?
+
+### Step 3: Determine Agent Type and Define Metadata
+
+**General Process:**
+The workflow systematically classifies your agent and defines all required metadata properties:
+- **Simple Agent:** Single-purpose, stateless, all-in-one file (~250 lines max)
+- **Expert Agent:** Persistent memory, sidecar folder, domain-specific expertise
+- **Module Agent:** Extends existing BMAD modules or requires multiple interconnected agents
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+- **Classification:** Expert Agent (requires persistent memory for learning profiles)
+- **Rationale:** Student progress tracking, technique effectiveness monitoring, evolving teaching strategies
+- **Metadata Properties:**
+  - **ID:** `teachers-assistant`
+  - **Name:** `Sophia Chen`
+  - **Title:** `Educational Learning Facilitator`
+  - **Icon:** `🎓`
+  - **Module:** `stand-alone`
+  - **Has Sidecar:** `true`
+
+**Your Application:**
+For any agent, the system will determine:
+- **Agent Type:** Based on memory requirements and complexity needs
+- **Technical Properties:** ID (kebab-case), persona name, professional title
+- **Visual Identity:** Appropriate emoji icon for your domain
+- **Ecosystem Placement:** Stand-alone vs integration with existing modules
+
+### Step 4: Develop Four-Field Persona System
+
+**General Process:**
+The workflow uses a sophisticated four-field persona system that creates distinct, non-overlapping personality dimensions:
+- **Role:** WHAT they do (capabilities, expertise, knowledge areas)
+- **Identity:** WHO they are (background, experience, character)
+- **Communication Style:** HOW they speak (tone, patterns, voice)
+- **Principles:** WHY they act (decision framework, values, constraints)
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+```yaml
+persona:
+  role: >
+    Educational learning facilitator specializing in Socratic questioning, scaffolding techniques,
+    and progress-based teaching that guides students to discover answers rather than providing direct instruction.
+
+  identity: >
+    Master educator with deep knowledge of educational psychology, constructivist learning theory,
+    and adaptive teaching methods. Passionate advocate for authentic learning through struggle and self-discovery.
+
+  communication_style: >
+    Speaks like a patient mentor using strategic questioning, encouraging language, and age-appropriate
+    complexity while maintaining conceptual integrity.
+
+  principles:
+    - Channel expert educational psychology wisdom: draw upon Zone of Proximal Development, scaffolding techniques, metacognitive strategies, and research-backed methods that facilitate genuine understanding
+    - Never provide direct answers - guide students to discover solutions through strategic questioning and multiple explanation pathways
+    - Authentic learning requires productive struggle - frustration signals growth, not failure
+    - Track what works for each student and adapt techniques accordingly - analogies for some, examples for others
+    - Academic boundaries are sacred - redirect non-educational conversations back to learning focus
+```
+
+**Your Application:**
+For any agent, you'll develop:
+- **Role:** Professional capabilities and expertise your agent provides
+- **Identity:** Background, experience, and character that makes them credible
+- **Communication Style:** How your agent speaks and interacts with users
+- **Principles:** Decision framework and values that guide behavior
+
+The first principle serves as an "expert activator" that tells the AI to access domain-specific knowledge and frameworks.
+
+### Step 5: Commands & Menu Structure Design
+
+**General Process:**
+Transform discovered capabilities into structured menu commands following BMAD patterns:
+- **Capability Review:** Analyze all capabilities from the discovery phase
+- **Command Grouping:** Organize related capabilities under logical command areas
+- **Menu Pattern Application:** Follow BMAD Expert Agent menu structure requirements
+- **Trigger Design:** Create intuitive 2-letter codes and fuzzy match patterns
+- **Handler Definition:** Map commands to specific prompts or actions
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+Created 9 educational commands with Expert Agent architecture:
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/teachers-assistant-sidecar/learning-profiles.md'
+  - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/teachers-assistant-sidecar/technique-tracking.md'
+  - 'ONLY read/write files in {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/teachers-assistant-sidecar/'
+
+prompts:
+  - id: socratic-guidance
+    content: |
+      <instructions>Guide student through learning using Socratic questioning without giving direct answers</instructions>
+      <process>1. Ask strategic questions 2. Use student interests for analogies 3. Encourage discovery 4. Validate understanding</process>
+
+menu:
+  - trigger: LG or fuzzy match on learn-guide
+    action: '#socratic-guidance'
+    description: '[LG] Learning guidance through Socratic questioning'
+
+  - trigger: QM or fuzzy match on quiz-me
+    action: 'Generate pop-quiz on recent or struggling concepts from learning profile'
+    description: '[QM] Quiz me on challenging concepts'
+
+  - trigger: SA or fuzzy match on study-aids
+    action: '#study-aids-generator'
+    description: '[SA] Generate study aids (flashcards, practice problems, guides)'
+```
+
+**Your Application:**
+For any agent, you'll create commands organized by:
+- **Primary Functions:** Core capabilities users access most frequently
+- **Utility Commands:** Support functions like help, settings, progress tracking
+- **Advanced Features:** Specialized tools for power users
+- **Memory Management:** For Expert agents with persistent data needs
+
+Design principles include 2-letter triggers, fuzzy matching, action handlers, and proper sidecar integration for Expert agents.
+
+### Step 6: Activation Planning
+
+**General Process:**
+Define how your agent behaves when it starts up through critical actions and startup sequences:
+- **Reference Loading:** Understanding critical action patterns
+- **Routing Decision:** Determining build path (Simple/Expert/Module) based on architecture
+- **Activation Needs Discussion:** Deciding autonomous vs responsive behavior patterns
+- **Critical Actions Definition:** Specifying startup commands for memory loading and boundaries
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+```yaml
+activation:
+  hasCriticalActions: true
+  rationale: "Agent needs to auto-load student learning context to provide personalized educational guidance"
+  criticalActions:
+    - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/teachers-assistant-sidecar/learning-profiles.md'
+    - 'Load COMPLETE file {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/teachers-assistant-sidecar/technique-tracking.md'
+    - 'ONLY read/write files in {project-root}/_bmad/_memory/teachers-assistant-sidecar/'
+
+routing:
+  destinationBuild: "step-07b-build-expert.md"
+  rationale: "Expert agent requires sidecar memory for persistent learning profiles"
+```
+
+**Your Application:**
+For any agent, consider:
+- **Startup Needs:** What must your agent load or initialize when it starts?
+- **Memory Requirements:** Does your agent need persistent data between sessions?
+- **Security Boundaries:** What file access restrictions should be enforced?
+- **Operational Philosophy:** Responsive to prompts vs autonomous background tasks?
+
+Routing logic determines the build path based on your agent's architecture needs.
+
+### Step 7: Expert Agent Build and Compilation
+
+**General Process:**
+The Agent Builder automatically compiles all phases into the final .agent.yaml file:
+1. **Generates Agent YAML:** Combines persona, menu, activation, and metadata
+2. **Creates Sidecar Structure:** Sets up memory folders for Expert agents
+3. **Validates Configuration:** Ensures BMAD compliance and proper structure
+4. **Provides Installation:** Generates installation guidance
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+Generated complete Expert agent with this structure:
+```
+agents/
+└── teachers-assistant/
+    ├── teachers-assistant.agent.yaml    # Complete agent definition
+    └── teachers-assistant-sidecar/      # Expert agent memory (build location)
+        ├── learning-profiles.md         # Student progress and preferences
+        ├── technique-tracking.md        # Teaching method effectiveness data
+        └── README.md                   # Sidecar documentation
+```
+
+Critical actions use proper path variables: `{project-root}/_bmad/_memory/{sidecar-folder}/` for runtime operation.
+
+**Your Application:**
+For any agent, this step produces:
+- **Agent YAML:** Complete agent definition with proper BMAD compliance
+- **Sidecar Structure:** Memory folders and files for Expert agents
+- **Path Configuration:** Proper variable usage for portability
+- **Documentation:** README files and installation guidance
+
+### Step 8: Celebration and Installation Guidance
+
+**General Process:**
+The Agent Builder provides comprehensive installation instructions and celebrates completion. To make any agent installable, create a standalone BMAD content module with:
+- Module directory with `module.yaml` containing `unitary: true`
+- Agent files in `agents/agent-name/` structure
+- Sidecar folder in `_memory/` for Expert agents
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+Created this installable module structure:
+```
+my-educational-agents/
+├── module.yaml                              # Contains: unitary: true
+├── agents/
+│   └── teachers-assistant/
+│       ├── teachers-assistant.agent.yaml    # Main agent definition
+│       └── _memory/                         # Expert agent memory
+│           └── teachers-assistant-sidecar/
+│               ├── learning-profiles.md
+│               ├── technique-tracking.md
+│               └── README.md
+```
+
+Installation methods include new project setup or adding to existing BMAD installations.
+
+**Your Application:**
+For any agent, follow these installation principles:
+- **Module Structure:** Use `unitary: true` for standalone agent modules
+- **File Organization:** Place agent files in proper directory hierarchy
+- **Memory Management:** Include `_memory/` structure for Expert agents
+- **Distribution:** Package entire module directory for sharing
+
+## Installing and Using Your Custom Agent
+
+After completing agent creation, follow these steps to install and start using your new agent:
+
+### Step 1: Create Module Directory Structure
+
+**General Process:**
+Transform your agent output into a BMAD-installable module:
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to your project root
+cd /your/project/root
+
+# Create module directory
+mkdir -p my-custom-agents
+
+# Create module configuration
+echo "unitary: true" > my-custom-agents/module.yaml
+
+# Create agents directory structure
+mkdir -p my-custom-agents/agents
+```
+
+### Step 2: Organize Agent Files
+
+**General Process:**
+Move your completed agent files into the proper module structure:
+
+```bash
+# Copy agent directory from bmb-creations output
+cp -r /path/to/_bmad-output/bmb-creations/your-agent my-custom-agents/agents/
+
+# For Expert agents, organize sidecar structure
+mkdir -p my-custom-agents/agents/your-agent/_memory
+mv my-custom-agents/agents/your-agent/your-agent-sidecar my-custom-agents/agents/your-agent/_memory/
+```
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+```
+my-educational-agents/
+├── module.yaml                              # Contains: unitary: true
+├── agents/
+│   └── teachers-assistant/
+│       ├── teachers-assistant.agent.yaml    # Main agent definition
+│       └── _memory/                         # Expert agent memory
+│           └── teachers-assistant-sidecar/
+│               ├── learning-profiles.md
+│               ├── technique-tracking.md
+│               └── README.md
+```
+
+### Step 3: Install Module in BMAD
+
+**General Process:**
+Add your custom module to an existing or new BMAD project:
+
+**For New Projects:**
+1. Run BMAD installer: `npx @bmad-method/cli init`
+2. When prompted for local modules, provide the path to your module
+3. Installer will automatically integrate your agent
+
+**For Existing Projects:**
+1. Run: `npx @bmad-method/cli modify`
+2. Select "Add local custom module"
+3. Provide path to your module directory
+4. Confirm installation
+
+### Step 4: Activate Your Agent
+
+**General Process:**
+Once installed, your agent becomes available through BMAD's command system:
+
+```bash
+# List available agents (verify your agent appears)
+/agents
+
+# Activate your agent using its module path
+/bmad:your-module:agents:your-agent
+```
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+```bash
+/bmad:my-educational-agents:agents:teachers-assistant
+```
+
+### Step 5: Test Agent Functionality
+
+**General Process:**
+Start with basic interactions to verify your agent works correctly:
+
+**Initial Activation Test:**
+```
+/bmad:your-module:agents:your-agent
+```
+
+**Basic Conversation Examples:**
+- "Hi [Agent Name], what can you help me with?"
+- "Show me your available commands"
+- "Tell me about your capabilities"
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+Specific conversation starters that test educational capabilities:
+- "Help me understand fractions without giving me the answer"
+- "LG" (Learning Guidance command)
+- "QM" (Quiz Me command)
+- "SA" (Study Aids command)
+
+### Step 6: Verify Expert Agent Memory (If Applicable)
+
+**General Process:**
+For Expert agents with sidecar folders, confirm memory persistence:
+
+1. **Start agent and interact with memory commands**
+2. **Update profiles or tracking data**
+3. **Restart agent and verify data persists**
+
+**Teacher's Assistant Example:**
+```
+UP (Update Profile command)
+LP (Learning Progress command)
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting Common Installation Issues
+
+**Agent Not Found:**
+- Verify `module.yaml` exists with `unitary: true`
+- Check agent file is in `agents/agent-name/agent-name.agent.yaml`
+- Confirm BMAD installation included your module
+
+**Sidecar Memory Issues (Expert Agents):**
+- Ensure `_memory/agent-sidecar/` structure exists
+- Verify critical_actions reference correct file paths
+- Check file permissions for read/write access
+
+**Command Not Working:**
+- Test basic interaction first before specialized commands
+- Verify agent activation completed successfully
+- Check for any startup errors in agent logs
+
+### Sharing Your Agent
+
+To share your agent with others:
+
+1. **Package entire module directory:** `my-custom-agents/`
+2. **Include installation instructions:** Reference this guide
+3. **Provide example interactions:** Show how to use key features
+4. **Document dependencies:** Any special requirements or modules
+
+**Distribution Options:**
+- **Git Repository:** Push module directory to version control
+- **Archive File:** Zip module directory for direct sharing
+- **BMAD Community:** Submit to community agent library (if available)
+
+Your custom agent is now ready for production use and can be shared across BMAD installations!
