Builds on the channel-resolution foundation. The installer now lets users flip a module between stable, next, and pinned after install — either interactively via a "Review channel assignments?" gate, or by flag. Quick and modify re-installs classify stable upgrades; under non-interactive flows, patches and minors apply automatically but majors are refused with a pointer to --pin. Fallback behavior for GitHub rate-limit / network failures is now cache- aware: re-installs reuse the recorded ref silently; fresh installs abort with actionable guidance (set GITHUB_TOKEN or use --next/--pin). Bundled modules (core, bmm) warn when targeted by --pin or --next so users aren't left wondering why the flag had no effect. Install summary labels no longer mangle "main" into "vmain"; next-channel entries render as "main @ <short-sha>" instead. Bundled modules are now correctly skipped from all channel prompts and tag-API lookups. Docs consolidated into a single how-to. install-bmad.md now covers the interactive flow, the channel model (stable/next/pinned plus the npm dist-tag axis for core/bmm), the re-install upgrade prompts, the full flag reference, copy-paste recipes, and troubleshooting. The old non-interactive-installation.md is reduced to a redirect stub. |

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.
