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);
}
}
Installation Success Summary:
✅ BMAD-Method Installation Complete
📦 Components Installed:

{ ides: ['claude-code', 'cursor', 'trae'], workspace: true },
{ ides: ['gemini', 'github-copilot'], workspace: false },
{ ides: ['claude-code'], workspace: false } // Graceful degradation
];
