# 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 the marketplace `registry/official.yaml` source of truth. Add the same entry to `modules/registry-fallback.yaml` only when BMAD-METHOD needs a bundled fallback or a staged registry supplement.
For community modules - this is handled through the marketplace community registry.
Use `module-definition` for conventional module repos with `module.yaml`.
Use `source-root` for pure skill bundles that should be copied directly into `_bmad/<module-code>/`.
Some modules also need packaging files that live outside the skill payload. BMad Automator (`bma`) is the current example: BMAD-METHOD copies its runtime files from `source/`, but the runtime behavior itself remains owned by `bmad-automator`.
## 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:
```yaml
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:
```yaml
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`:
```yaml
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.
