feat(skills): migrate all remaining platforms to native skills format (#1841)
* feat(skills): migrate Roo Code installer to native skills format

Move Roo Code from legacy `.roo/commands/` flat files to native
`.roo/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md` directory output. Verified
skill discovery in Roo Code v3.51 with 43 skills installed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(skills): add native skills tests for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor

Add dedicated test suites covering config validation, fresh install,
legacy cleanup, and ancestor conflict detection for Claude Code, Codex
CLI, and Cursor. Updates migration checklist to reflect verified status.

84 assertions now pass (up from 50).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(skills): add Roo Code reinstall/upgrade test

Verify that running Roo setup over existing skills output succeeds
and preserves SKILL.md output. Checks off the last Roo checklist item.

* feat(skills): migrate GitHub Copilot to config-driven native skills

Replace 699-line custom installer with config-driven skill_format.
Output moves from .github/agents/ + .github/prompts/ to
.github/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md. Legacy cleanup strips BMAD
markers from copilot-instructions.md and removes old directories.

* docs: update migration checklist with Copilot and Roo verified results

* feat(skills): migrate Cline to config-driven native skills

Move Cline installer from .clinerules/workflows to .cline/skills with
SKILL.md directory output. Add legacy cleanup and 9 test assertions.

* feat(skills): migrate CodeBuddy to config-driven native skills

Move CodeBuddy installer from .codebuddy/commands to .codebuddy/skills
with SKILL.md directory output. Add legacy cleanup and 9 test assertions.

* feat(skills): migrate Crush to config-driven native skills

Move Crush installer from .crush/commands to .crush/skills with
SKILL.md directory output. Add legacy cleanup and 9 test assertions.

* feat(skills): migrate Trae to config-driven native skills

Move Trae installer from .trae/rules to .trae/skills with SKILL.md
directory output. Add legacy cleanup and 9 test assertions.

* feat(skills): migrate KiloCoder to config-driven native skills

Replace 269-line custom kilo.js installer with config-driven entry in
platform-codes.yaml targeting .kilocode/skills/ with skill_format: true.

- Add installer config: target_dir, skill_format, template_type, legacy_targets
- Add cleanupKiloModes() to strip BMAD modes from .kilocodemodes on cleanup
- Remove kilo.js from manager.js customFiles and Kilo-specific result handling
- Delete tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/kilo.js
- Add test Suite 22: 11 assertions (config, install, legacy cleanup, modes, reinstall)
- Update migration checklist with verified results

* feat(skills): migrate Gemini CLI to config-driven native skills

Replace TOML-based .gemini/commands output with native SKILL.md output
in .gemini/skills/. Gemini CLI confirms native skills support per
geminicli.com/docs/cli/skills/.

- Update platform-codes.yaml: target_dir, skill_format, legacy_targets
- Add test Suite 23: 9 assertions (config, install, legacy, reinstall)
- Add Gemini CLI section to migration checklist

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(skills): migrate iFlow, QwenCoder, and Rovo Dev to native skills

Complete the native skills migration for all remaining platforms:

- iFlow: .iflow/commands → .iflow/skills (config change)
- QwenCoder: .qwen/commands → .qwen/skills (config change)
- Rovo Dev: replace 257-line custom rovodev.js with config-driven
  .rovodev/skills, add cleanupRovoDevPrompts() for prompts.yml cleanup

All platforms now use config-driven native skills. No custom installer
files remain. Manager.js customFiles array is now empty.

- Add test suites 24-26: 20 new assertions (173 total)
- Update migration checklist: all summary gates passed
- Delete tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/rovodev.js

* fix(installer): preserve bmad-os-* skills during cleanup

The cleanupTarget method removed all entries starting with "bmad" from
IDE skills directories, which would also wipe version-controlled
bmad-os-* skills from the BMAD-METHOD repo. Add exclusion for the
bmad-os- prefix so those skills survive reinstalls.

* docs: flag all unverified platforms for manual IDE testing

Add NEEDS MANUAL IDE VERIFICATION to KiloCoder, Gemini CLI, iFlow,
QwenCoder, and Rovo Dev checklists. CodeBuddy, Crush, and Trae already
had the flag.

* fix(installer): suspend Kilo Code and add verified Gemini/Crush results

Kilo Code does not support the Agent Skills standard — the migration
from modes+workflows to skills was based on a false fork assumption.

- Add suspended field to platform-codes.yaml, hiding Kilo from the IDE
  picker and blocking setup with a clear message
- Fail the installer early (before writing _bmad/) if all selected IDEs
  are suspended, protecting existing installations from being corrupted
- Still clean up legacy Kilo artifacts (.kilocodemodes, .kilocode/workflows)
  when users switch to a different IDE
- Mark Crush and Gemini CLI as manually verified (both work end-to-end)
- Replace Suite 22 install tests with suspended-behavior tests (7 assertions)

* docs: update KiloCoder checklist to reflect suspended status

* fix(skills): add canonicalIds for BMM research and PRD workflows

Drop the bmm module prefix from 6 workflow skill names so they
install as bmad-create-prd, bmad-domain-research, etc. instead of
bmad-bmm-create-prd, bmad-bmm-domain-research, etc.

* fix(installer): address PR review findings from automated reviewers

Triage of 18 findings from Augment and CodeRabbit reviews on PR #1841:

Source code fixes:
- Exclude bmad-os-* from findAncestorConflict to match cleanupTarget
- Wrap cleanupCopilotInstructions in try/catch (best-effort, not fatal)
- Wrap suspended-platform cleanup in try/catch (failure boundary)
- Clean up temp backup dirs in catch block when install aborts
- Normalize IDE keys to lowercase before suspended lookup
- Delete dead loadCustomInstallerFiles method and stale references
- Rename "Roo Cline" to "Roo Code" in both platform-codes.yaml files
- Fix Gemini CLI package name (@google/gemini-cli, not @anthropic-ai)

Test improvements:
- Add name/frontmatter invariant check to 6 missing platform suites
- Assert stale bmad-architect skill is removed after cleanup

BMad Method

Version License: MIT Node.js Version Discord

Build More Architect Dreams — An AI-driven agile development module for the BMad Method Module Ecosystem, the best and most comprehensive Agile AI Driven Development framework that has true scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.

100% free and open source. No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay for a gated community or courses.

Why the BMad Method?

Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents and facilitated workflows act as expert collaborators who guide you through a structured process to bring out your best thinking in partnership with the AI.

  • AI Intelligent Help — Ask /bmad-help anytime for guidance on what's next
  • Scale-Domain-Adaptive — Automatically adjusts planning depth based on project complexity
  • Structured Workflows — Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
  • Specialized Agents — 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, Scrum Master, and more)
  • Party Mode — Bring multiple agent personas into one session to collaborate and discuss
  • Complete Lifecycle — From brainstorming to deployment

Learn more at docs.bmad-method.org


🚀 What's Next for BMad?

V6 is here and we're just getting started! The BMad Method is evolving rapidly with optimizations including Cross Platform Agent Team and Sub Agent inclusion, Skills Architecture, BMad Builder v1, Dev Loop Automation, and so much more in the works.
