Dev Notes

Installer Integration Architecture

Enhanced Installation Flow:

npx bmad-method install

1. Welcome and Project Analysis
2. Installation Type Selection (Complete BMad Core)
3. IDE Selection (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, etc.)
4. **NEW: Workspace System Configuration**
   ✓ Enable Collaborative Workspace System: Yes (Recommended)
   - Enables multi-session AI agent coordination
   - Provides context persistence across sessions  
   - Supports cross-IDE collaboration
5. Installation Execution
6. **NEW: Workspace Setup and Validation**
7. Post-Installation Summary and Next Steps

Installer Enhancement Code:

// Add to installer.js
async setupCollaborativeWorkspace(selectedIDEs) {
  const spinner = ora('Setting up Collaborative Workspace System...').start();
  
  try {
    // Universal setup (all IDEs)
    await this.createWorkspaceDirectory();
    await this.installWorkspaceUtilities();
    await this.generateWorkspaceDocumentation(selectedIDEs);
    
    // IDE-specific enhancements
    if (selectedIDEs.includes('claude-code')) {
      await this.setupClaudeCodeWorkspaceCommands();
      spinner.text = 'Configuring Claude Code CLI native commands...';
    }
    
    // For other IDEs: setup utility scripts and documentation
    await this.setupWorkspaceScripts(selectedIDEs.filter(ide => ide !== 'claude-code'));
    
    // Validation
    await this.validateWorkspaceSetup();
    
    spinner.succeed('Collaborative Workspace System configured successfully');
  } catch (error) {
    spinner.fail('Workspace setup failed');
    throw error;
  }
}

Configuration Logic:

// Enhanced install.config.yaml integration
const workspaceResponse = await inquirer.prompt([
  {
    type: 'confirm',
    name: 'enableWorkspace',
    message: chalk.cyan('🤝 Enable Collaborative Workspace System?') + 
             '\n   • Multi-session AI agent coordination' +
             '\n   • Context persistence across sessions' + 
             '\n   • Cross-IDE collaboration support' +
             '\n   Enable? (Recommended)',
    default: true
  }
]);

if (workspaceResponse.enableWorkspace) {
  await this.setupCollaborativeWorkspace(selectedIDEs);
}

Workspace Directory Creation:

async createWorkspaceDirectory() {
  const workspaceStructure = {
    '.workspace': {
      'sessions': {},
      'context': {},
      'handoffs': {},
      'decisions': {},
      'progress': {},
      'quality': {},
      'archive': {}
    },
    'workspace-utils': {
      'init.js': this.getUtilityScript('init'),
      'status.js': this.getUtilityScript('status'),
      'cleanup.js': this.getUtilityScript('cleanup'),
      'handoff.js': this.getUtilityScript('handoff'),
      'docs': {}
    }
  };
  
  await this.createDirectoryStructure(workspaceStructure);
}

IDE-Specific Setup Functions:

async setupClaudeCodeWorkspaceCommands() {
  // Add workspace commands to agent definitions
  const agentFiles = ['dev.md', 'qa.md', 'sm.md', 'architect.md'];
  
  for (const agentFile of agentFiles) {
    await this.enhanceAgentWithWorkspaceCommands(agentFile);
  }
}

async setupWorkspaceScripts(nonClaudeIDEs) {
  // Generate utility scripts for other IDEs
  await this.generatePackageJsonScripts();
  
  for (const ide of nonClaudeIDEs) {
    await this.generateIDESpecificDocumentation(ide);
    await this.configureIDEWorkspaceIntegration(ide);
  }
}

Post-Installation Validation:

async validateWorkspaceSetup() {
  const validationChecks = [
    'workspace-directory-exists',
    'utility-scripts-functional', 
    'agent-commands-integrated',
    'documentation-generated',
    'cross-ide-compatibility'
  ];
  
  for (const check of validationChecks) {
    await this.runValidationCheck(check);
  }
}
