mergeModuleHelpCatalogs now compares each per-module file's header against the canonical schema and emits a one-shot prompts.log.warn per module on drift, naming both the expected and actual header. Data continues to load positionally so external modules built against the old after/before schema still install cleanly — the warning is the maintainer signal to rename their columns. Centralize the canonical header in modules/module-help-schema.js so the merger and the synthesizer (PluginResolver._buildSynthesizedHelpCsv) read the same source of truth; future column renames are one edit. Verified by installing all four bmad-org external modules (bmb, cis, gds, tea) — every one ships the legacy after/before header today and now fires an advisory warning while still merging cleanly into _bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv with the canonical column names. |

BMad CLI Tool
Installing external repo BMad official modules
For external official modules to be discoverable during install, ensure an entry for the external repo is added to external-official-modules.yaml.
For community modules - this will be handled in a different way. This file is only for registration of modules under the bmad-code-org.
Post-Install Notes
Modules can display setup guidance to users after configuration is collected during npx bmad-method install. Notes are defined in the module's own module.yaml — no changes to the installer are needed.
Simple Format
Always displayed after the module is configured:
post-install-notes: |
Thank you for choosing the XYZ Cool Module
For Support about this Module call 555-1212
Conditional Format
Display different messages based on a config question's answer:
post-install-notes:
config_key_name:
value1: |
Instructions for value1...
value2: |
Instructions for value2...
Values without an entry (e.g., none) display nothing. Multiple config keys can each have their own conditional notes.
Example: TEA Module
The TEA module uses the conditional format keyed on tea_browser_automation:
post-install-notes:
tea_browser_automation:
cli: |
Playwright CLI Setup:
npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
playwright-cli install --skills
mcp: |
Playwright MCP Setup (two servers):
1. playwright — npx @playwright/mcp@latest
2. playwright-test — npx playwright run-test-mcp-server
auto: |
Playwright CLI Setup:
...
Playwright MCP Setup (two servers):
...
When a user selects auto, they see both CLI and MCP instructions. When they select none, nothing is shown.
