* feat(skills): add type:skill manifest for verbatim skill directory copying
Introduce `type: skill` in bmad-skill-manifest.yaml to signal the
installer to copy entire skill directories verbatim into IDE skill
directories, replacing the launcher-based approach.
Changes:
- skill-manifest.js: fix single-entry detection for type-only manifests,
add getArtifactType export
- manifest-generator.js: collect type:skill entries separately, write
skill-manifest.csv, derive canonicalId from directory name
- _config-driven.js: add installVerbatimSkills with YAML-safe SKILL.md
generation, stale file cleanup, and warning on parse failures
- Rename quick-dev-new-preview to bmad-quick-dev-new-preview so
directory name is the canonical ID
- Update workflow.md installed_path to reference IDE skill base directory

* refactor: replace {installed_path} with relative paths in quick-dev skill
Skills resolve paths relative to the skill root directory per the
open agent standard, so the installed_path variable is unnecessary.

* feat(skills): add install_to_bmad flag and skill: help catalog reference
Add install_to_bmad flag to skill manifests (default true) enabling
skills to opt out of _bmad/ copy while retaining .claude/skills/
installation. Support skill:<canonicalId> references in module-help.csv
workflow-file column. Fix stale quick-dev-new-preview directory
references in agent YAML and help catalog.

* test: add install_to_bmad design contract tests
Unit tests against getInstallToBmad and loadSkillManifest that nail
down the 4 core design decisions for the install_to_bmad flag.

* fix: reset skills array between runs and allow skill-only targets
- Reset this.skills and this.files in ManifestGenerator to prevent stale
data when instance is reused across multiple manifest runs
- Allow targets with empty artifact_types to still install verbatim
skills by checking skill_format before short-circuiting

* fix: resolve broken file references in quick-dev-new-preview workflow
- Fix step-02-plan.md templateFile path (./tech-spec-template.md → ../tech-spec-template.md)
- Teach validate-file-refs.js to skip skill: prefixed references in CSV

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-helpanytime 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
