* docs: make the landing page route readers by task
* docs: frame the landing page as think then build
The first pass routed by task but still treated bmad-build as the product.
Name both skill groups, send first-time readers to Getting Started, and
split spec work from the longer planning path.
* Update docs/index.md

* docs(build): add four review lenses to the Build diagram
Keep the unpublished Excalidraw source under website/diagrams/ and
refresh the published PNG so the Build page shows Blind Hunter, Edge
Case Hunter, Acceptance Criteria Audit, and Verification Gap.
* docs(build): move acceptance check off the review-lens box
Show Fits AC? as a gate between Implement and Review. Leave Blind Hunter,
Edge Case Hunter, and Verification Gap as the only review lenses.
* refactor(bmm): move sprint-planning and sprint-status to plan/
They sit at the plan/ship boundary and their outputs are planning
artifacts of the dev cycle; next commit makes sprint-planning the
readiness gate, which is plan-side work.
* refactor(bmm): fold readiness gate into sprint-planning, retire check-implementation-readiness
The old skill was 1,154 lines of legacy numbered-step ceremony whose
document discovery hardcoded filename globs (*prd*, *ux*, *epic*) that
miss what current skills produce (SPEC.md, DESIGN.md) and still treated
retired sharded docs as first-class. Sprint-planning now opens with a
lean readiness gate: generic artifact discovery by content, forward/back
traceability, PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL, stop on FAIL with findings. The IR
trigger on John's and Winston's menus dispatches sprint-planning, so
'check implementation readiness' still works everywhere it used to.
* refactor(bmm): modernize sprint-planning with deterministic script core
SKILL.md drops the legacy XML step dialect for the product-brief style
(~100 lines, uv run, headless contract). New scripts/sprint_plan.py owns
the mechanical work — epic parsing, key derivation, ordering, preserve-
never-downgrade merge, story-file detection, action_items carry-over,
atomic writes, drift checks — with 11 tests wired in as
test:sprint-planning. Judgment stays with the LLM: epic discovery, the
readiness gate, and reconciling script-reported orphans and unparsed
headings. checklist.md retired (the script performs that checklist);
sprint-status-template.yaml is the single source for the status
vocabulary. Output stays byte-compatible with build's sprint sync and
retrospective's tooling.
* refactor(bmm): fold sprint-status into sprint-planning's status view
sprint_plan.py gains a status subcommand: counts (legacy values mapped),
risk flags, open action items, and a priority-ordered next-action
recommendation — the old skill's inference-driven summary, computed
deterministically and covered by 9 new tests. bmad-sprint-status becomes
a v6-shims husk that forwards with status-view intent and a deprecation
notice; its dead data/validate modes had zero callers and are gone. If
a hand-edited status file defeats the script, the skill falls back to
reading it directly and summarizing by best judgment. New explanation
page docs/explanation/sprint-planning.md covers the consolidated skill;
workflow maps and references updated across all languages.
* docs: changelog entries for skill reorg and sprint consolidation
* fix(bmm): harden sprint_plan.py per review; add validate/fix intents with full progressive disclosure
Review fixes (PR #2659 findings, bot + internal review):
- Normalize legacy v6 statuses (drafted/contexted) on every read — merged by
meaning and reported, never treated as illegal or reset
- dropped_orphans carry their old status; transplant renames via --set
- project_key/tracking_system/story_location preserved from the existing file
unless overridden; refresh round-trips custom keys and user comments
- Hardened write path: dump-to-bytes, fsync, permission-preserving atomic
write inside the guarded block, explicit checks (no asserts), atomic restore
- JSON-only argparse (errors and -h emit JSON); unicode-aware slugs with hash
fallback; fenced code blocks ignored when parsing epics
- Odd retro keys, date-typed stamps, and non-mapping YAML report cleanly
instead of crashing; unparseable timestamps warn instead of silently
disabling the staleness check; malformed action items flagged, not dropped
- Dead check subcommand removed; generate --dry-run reports drift/in_sync
- test:sprint-planning wired into quality and CI (was test-only)
- Retro tests use a vendored template fixture (PATH-05); repo-level
test-template-sync.js keeps it byte-identical to the source; template
example timestamps and story_location fixed; header block pinned to the
template by test
New capability:
- validate subcommand + reference: structural validation, never writes
- fix flow: evidence-gathering subagents -> user-confirmed state table ->
generate --fresh --set writes a pristine file (the one path allowed to
downgrade); universal script-failure fallback to inference for every intent
- SKILL.md is now a lean router: gate, tracking, status, fix, and validate
each load as progressive-disclosure references
Docs: explanation page gains Repair section; workflow-map and getting-started
across all five languages mention the status view; headless payload nests
under 'report' to avoid the status key collision; changelog updated.
Test suite grows 20 -> 37; retro suite 91/91; docs build and validators green.
* docs: mention repair in sprint-planning explanation description
Rewrite published documentation and maintained translations around variable
planning depth with one Phase 4 implementation loop. Update diagrams and AI
indexes, and reject obsolete workflow terminology in deployable output.
* chore(bmm): retire bmad-investigate skill and its documentation
Removes the bmad-investigate skill, its case-file template, the EN/FR
forensic-investigation explainer docs, and every integration point:
Amelia's `IN` menu entry, the plugin marketplace manifest, module-help,
the workflow-map tables and HTML diagrams, and the agent-trigger tables.
EN/FR explanation sidebar orders are renumbered to close the gap left by
the removed doc.
Rationale: the skill's only non-redundant value was a durable, hand-off
case-file artifact — a workflow that is unproven in practice. Everything
else (evidence grading, hypothesis discipline, causal tracing) is
behavior a capable model already performs without a dedicated skill. The
skill also carried method-internal metaphor ("stronghold", "evidence
perimeter") that leaked into user-facing chat. Upstream signals agreed:
issue #2452 flagged the vocabulary leak and a maintainer noted the skill
should not auto-fire. Added in #2364.
Supersedes the in-flight cleanup in #2478 and resolves#2452 by removal.

* chore(bmm): add bmad-investigate to removals.txt and note retirement
The retirement commit removed the skill source and docs but did not add
the removals.txt entry that triggers cleanup of the skill directory on
existing installs during update. Add it, plus an Unreleased CHANGELOG note.

- named-agents.md: add Enquête de code to Amelia's capabilities
* docs(fr): fix agent skill identifiers to use bmad-agent-* prefix
The agent skill identifiers in agents.md and commands.md were missing
the -agent- segment of the namespace (e.g. bmad-pm instead of
bmad-agent-pm). All agent launchers use the bmad-agent-* naming
convention since the installer generates skill directories under that
prefix.

* docs(fr): translate bmad-spec section
French translation of the bmad-spec section introduced in aa6dece
(feat(bmad-spec): introduce Spec kernel distiller skill (#2417)).
* docs(fr): improve core-tools locution, phrasing and typography
Broader pass across all sections of core-tools.md for more idiomatic

* feat(bmm): add bmad-prd skill and extend product-brief with external integrations
Consolidates the legacy create-prd/edit-prd/validate-prd trio into a single
lean facilitator with create/update/validate intent modes, following the
bmad-product-brief pattern. Both skills gain external_sources and
external_handoffs customize.toml fields for routing through corporate MCP
tools (Confluence, Jira, etc.) with graceful degradation, plus a File roles
constraint clarifying decision-log (audit trail) vs addendum (preserved
depth for downstream docs).
* refactor(bmad-prd): tighten SKILL.md and operationalize source-extractor pattern
- Compress Overview to remove coaching prose duplicated in Discovery
- Operationalize "Extract, don't ingest" with explicit subagent return contract; reference from Update, Validate, and Finalize input reconciliation instead of inline "read N documents"
- Fix Overview H1 -> H2 (was breaking pre-pass tooling)
- Move full headless JSON schemas to assets/headless-schemas.md; keep minimal example inline
- Compress File roles bullet; tighten Finalize step 1
SKILL.md: 124 -> 105 lines, ~4729 -> ~4467 tokens
* feat(bmad-prd): open-items gate, drop distillate, persona discipline, decision-log metadata
- Add Finalize "Open-items review" step (new step 4): counts OQs / [ASSUMPTION] / [NOTE FOR PM], walks them with user, flags high density as red flag against agreed stakes
- Validate now treats open-items density as a first-class finding category
- Resume / continuity surfaces open items deterministically as the first orientation step
- Drop the PRD's own distillate output and the bmad-distillator finalize step. Downstream workflows (UX, architecture, story creation) source-extract from prd.md directly via the canonical source-extractor pattern. Headless schemas, customize.toml comments, and template updated accordingly.
- Drop "status: draft" from PRD frontmatter and template; version/state transitions logged to decision-log.md instead. Finalize step 7 records the version transition entry.
- Add PRD Discipline bullet: personas must be research-grounded or marked [ILLUSTRATIVE]; must drive decisions; 2-4 personas max. Discipline pass enforces.
- Expand File roles bullet: competitive-analysis detail beyond a one-line landscape and operational/cost mechanics (rate-limiting, compression) belong in addendum
* feat(bmad-prd): outcome-driven trim, swappable validation checklist, HTML report
SKILL.md trim (4.7K -> ~3.2K tokens, 124 -> 93 lines):
- Cut anchor enumerations (HIPAA/PCI/NIST list, API/Mobile/Web list, hobby->regulated list, "fast/easy/scalable/intuitive", input enumerations, etc.) the LLM already knows
- Cut derivable reasoning (synonyms-cause-drift explanation, hobby-vs-enterprise examples, etc.)
- Cut good/bad examples that anchor LLM attention (password/SendGrid example, persona quote, "let me also add this nearby thing")
- Drop SMART-ceremony language from Measurable bullet (keep judgment-not-ritual; SMART principles fine)
Progressive disclosure to references/:
- Headless mode rules + JSON minimal example moved to references/headless.md (loaded only when invoked headless)
- On Activation step 6 gates mode detection: headless -> read references/headless.md and follow
Swappable validation checklist:
- New assets/prd-validation-checklist.md (15 items: Quality / Discipline / Structural / Stakes-gated, each one line)
- New customize.toml field validation_checklist (override per org)
- Used by Validate intent AND Finalize Step 3 -- same subagent, same checklist, two moments
- Replaces bmad-validate-prd's 13-step micro-file architecture; kept the valuable check dimensions (density, measurability, traceability, implementation leakage, etc.) and dropped the ceremony
HTML validation report:
- New scripts/render-validation-html.py (PEP 723, stdlib only, ~175 lines) renders structured findings JSON into a styled HTML report with pass/warn/fail grade, inline SVG score bar, category grouping
- New assets/validation-report-template.html (inline CSS, native <details>, no JS, no external deps) -- swappable via customize.toml validation_report_template
- New references/validation-render.md documents the subagent output contract and renderer invocation; loaded only when validate flow runs
- Auto-opens browser on interactive runs; headless skips the open
Mode flow consistency:
- Create and Update both now explicitly "proceed to ## Finalize"
- Validate / analyze is standalone -- explicit "does NOT enter ## Finalize"; renderer auto-opens the HTML
- analyze is a synonym for validate; intent detection routes both
- Update mode no longer has its own light-close validation step (Finalize Step 3 covers it)
* refactor(product-brief,bmad-prd): remove distillation from brief and PRD workflows
Drop bmad-distillator integration from bmad-product-brief (finalize step,
update mode, headless JSON, constraints) and clean up customize.toml comments.
Distillation is the wrong layer — story self-containment via epic solution
design docs is the right answer for downstream context.
Also commit pending bmad-prd changes: working mode selector (Express vs
Facilitative), open-items triage into phase-blocking/resolvable/deferred
buckets, persistence wording fix, and facilitation-guide reference.
* refactor(bmad-prd): aggressive SKILL.md compression, remove LLM-obvious content
* feat(bmad-prd,bmad-product-brief): surface party-mode and advanced-elicitation at opening
* refactor(bmm): retire bmad-create-prd/edit/validate, point docs and PM agent at bmad-prd
Removes the three separate PRD skills (create, edit, validate) in favor of the
unified bmad-prd skill. Updates module-help.csv, PM agent menu, workflow map,
getting-started tutorial, commands reference, customize/help SKILL.md examples,
and the website workflow-map diagram. Adds Recipe 6 (Advanced Integration
Patterns) to expand-bmad-for-your-org.md covering external_sources,
external_handoffs, doc_standards, and swappable templates.
* test(bmad-product-brief): drop distillate from evals
Distillate was removed from the product-brief workflow in 1a88f001
but the eval suite still checked for distillate.md artifacts, the
bmad-distillator subagent invocation, and the polish→distillate phase
ordering. Strip all distillate references from A1/A5/B1/B2/B3/B5/B6,
remove B4 (phase-ordering eval centered on distillate) and B8 (pure
distillate eval), update _design_notes, and delete the orphan
distillate.md fixture from the forkbird-brief input set. IDs preserved
(gaps at B4, B8) so existing references stay stable.
* fix(bmad-prd): validation report only on explicit analysis request
Reconciles a contradiction across SKILL.md, validation-render.md,
headless.md, and headless-schemas.md about when validation-report.{html,md}
gets written. Rule: a report file is only written when the user has
specifically asked for analysis — Validate intent, or a mid-session
"produce a report" request. The Finalize discipline pass during
Create/Update keeps findings in-conversation: autofix obvious issues,
ask on ambiguous ones, never write a file.
- SKILL.md: Finalize step 3 no longer renders a report; Validate intent
wording softened from "HTML report" to "validation report".
- references/validation-render.md: drops the severity-based conditional
for markdown emission. Script now always writes both HTML and MD
side-by-side when invoked; trigger gating happens upstream.
- assets/headless-schemas.md: drops the "may be omitted in interactive
mode" caveat; validation_report is required for Validate intent.
- scripts/render-validation-html.py: adds render_markdown_report()
emitting a severity-grouped markdown companion at output_path.with_suffix('.md').
Returns markdown path in the stdout JSON summary alongside HTML path.
* fix(bmm-skills): address remaining PR review nits
- headless-schemas.md: Update schema gains `external_handoffs` to match
SKILL.md which routes Update through Finalize (handoffs execute there).
- bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md: "Use the bmad-help skill" → "Invoke
bmad-help" to align with REF-03 and the bmad-prd phrasing.
- bmad-product-brief/SKILL.md: hyphenate "high-quality draft".
* feat(bmm): add deprecation shims for retired PRD skills
Re-adds bmad-create-prd, bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd as thin
compatibility shims so existing invocations by name and
_bmad/custom/bmad-{create,edit,validate}-prd.toml override files keep
working post-consolidation. Each shim contains only SKILL.md and
customize.toml — no steps, data, or templates.
On activation, each shim:
1. Resolves customization via resolve_customization.py, picking up any
legacy override files for the four legacy fields (activation_steps_*,
persistent_facts, on_complete).
2. Emits a one-time deprecation notice in {communication_language},
pointing at bmad-prd and the migration path for override files.
3. Invokes bmad-prd with the appropriate intent (create / update /
validate), passes through the resolved legacy customization with
instruction to use these values instead of re-resolving from
bmad-prd's own customize.toml, and forwards the original user input
verbatim.
bmad-prd continues to read its own customize.toml + bmad-prd.toml
overrides for the new-only fields (prd_template, validation_checklist,
doc_standards, output_dir, output_folder_name, external_sources,
external_handoffs, validation_report_template). Users wanting those
fields must migrate to invoking bmad-prd directly.
* polish(bmm): refine PRD deprecation shim wording
Three small revisions applied uniformly to all three shims
(bmad-create-prd, bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd):
- Tighten the frontmatter description to a single sentence naming the
intent and signaling v7 removal.
- Drop the redundant "On failure, surface the diagnostic and halt."
trailer from the resolve-customization step; resolve_customization.py
surfaces errors itself.
- Extend the user-facing deprecation notice to clarify that legacy
override fields still resolve under bmad-prd, so migration is for
unlocking new fields rather than restoring lost functionality.
* fix(bmad-prd): normalize status casing and add friendly file errors
- compute_stats: lower-case `status` before bucketing so findings with
any casing (e.g. "Pass") feed the stat buckets and the score bar
fills correctly. Matches the .lower() pattern already used in
render_finding and render_finding_md.
- main: wrap findings/template read_text calls; emit a one-line error
to stderr and return 1 on FileNotFoundError or JSONDecodeError
instead of dumping a raw traceback. Script is LLM-invoked, so a
clean diagnostic is the contract.

* docs(expand): refresh "five recipes" copy to reflect Recipe 6
Recipe 6 (Advanced Integration Patterns) was added but three earlier
mentions still said "five": the frontmatter description, the intro
sentence at line 8, and the "Combining Recipes" paragraph. Update all
three to "six" and extend the Combining-Recipes example to call out
Recipe 6 (external_sources / external_handoffs) alongside the others.
Addresses coderabbitai review comment 3235107194 and the two
outside-diff observations on lines 3 and 8.

* fix(bmad-prd): utf-8 encoding on render script, correct workflow-map outputs
- render-validation-html.py reads findings/template and writes HTML/MD with
explicit utf-8 encoding so non-ASCII content (smart quotes, em-dashes,
non-English text under {document_output_language}) does not break on
platforms whose default encoding is not utf-8.
- workflow-map.md 'Produces' column for bmad-prd now distinguishes
Create/Update outputs from the Validate intent's validation-report
artifacts.

concepts through Amazon's PRFAQ methodology. Includes press release
drafting, customer FAQ, internal FAQ, and verdict stages with subagent
support for artifact scanning and web research.
- New bmad-prfaq skill with 5-stage interactive gauntlet and headless mode
- Subagents for artifact analysis and web research (graceful degradation)
- Research-grounded output directive for current market/competitive data
- Always produces distillate for downstream PRD consumption
- Fix manifest array syntax in both prfaq and product-brief manifests
- Drop number prefixes from reference files
- Update docs: getting-started, workflow-map, agents, skills reference
- Add analysis-phase explainer doc with comparison table and decision guide
- Update workflow-map-diagram.html with prfaq card
- Add -H and -A args to CSV for both skills
- Add unist-util-visit as devDependency (was imported but undeclared)
* fix: harden bmad-prfaq for compaction resilience and context efficiency
Add coaching persona re-anchors to all stage prompts so the behavioral
directive survives context compaction. Add do-not-read guards at resume
detection, headless mode, and input gathering to prevent parent agent
context bloat. Add Stage 1 coaching notes capture. Adapt template and
press release stage for non-commercial concept types. Cap subagent
response token budgets.
* fix: add config.user.yaml to file-ref validator allowlist
Also update PRFAQ config path to use correct _config/bmm/ prefix.
* fix(docs): correct Hasselhoff spelling, add locale-aware 404 redirect
Fix "Hasslehoff" → "Hasselhoff" typo in customize-bmad.md across all
three locales (en, zh-cn, fr).
Add client-side locale detection to 404.astro so GitHub Pages serves
the correct localized 404 page instead of always showing English.

* fix(build): exclude translated locales from llms-full.txt
llms-full.txt was including zh-cn and fr docs, tripling the content
with duplicate information in different languages. Restrict to English
only — translations add no value for LLM context consumption.
Reduces output from ~393K to ~114K chars (~29k tokens).

* refactor(i18n): extract locale config to shared module
Move locale definitions from astro.config.mjs into a shared
website/src/lib/locales.mjs consumed by astro config, build-docs,
and 404.astro. Adding a new locale is now a single-file change.

* refactor: consolidate agents into phase-based skill directories
Remove separate agent/workflow/skill directories (src/bmm/agents,
src/bmm/workflows, src/core/skills, src/utility/agent-components) and
reorganize all content into phase-based structures under src/bmm-skills
(1-analysis, 2-plan-workflows, 3-solutioning, 4-implementation) and
src/core-skills. Eliminates the agent/skill distinction by treating
agents as skills within their workflow phase.
* fix: update broken file references to use new bmm-skills paths
* docs: update all references for unified bmad-quick-dev workflow
Remove all references to the old separate bmad-quick-spec and
bmad-quick-dev-new-preview workflows. The new bmad-quick-dev is a
unified workflow that handles intent clarification, planning,
implementation, review, and presentation in a single run.
Updated files across English docs, Chinese translations, source
skill manifests, website diagram, and build tooling.
* feat(i18n): add zh-cn locale support with Starlight routing
Reorganize Chinese translations from docs_cn/ into docs/zh-cn/
following Starlight's i18n content structure. Configure Starlight
with root locale (en, unprefixed) and zh-cn (/zh-cn/ prefix).
- Move 28 files from docs_cn/*_cn.md to docs/zh-cn/*.md
- Fix 21 internal links to remove _cn suffixes
- Add defaultLocale + locales config to astro.config.mjs
- Add .gitignore exception for docs/zh-cn/ (overrides z*/ rule)
- Language switcher activates automatically via existing Header
- hreflang tags auto-generated by Starlight on all pages
* feat(i18n): add zh-CN UI translations and sidebar labels
- Add website/src/content/i18n/zh-CN.json with Starlight UI strings
- Add sidebar group label translations (欢迎, 路线图, 教程, etc.)
- Register i18n collection in content config to fix deprecation warning
* fix(i18n): exclude 404 pages from sitemap
Custom 404 pages (root and zh-cn) were indexed as regular content in
the sitemap. Add a filter to the @astrojs/sitemap integration that
matches the /404 path segment precisely via regex on the URL pathname.
- Add comprehensive public roadmap with In Progress, Getting Started, and Community sections
- Add roadmap callout to README.md and docs welcome page
- Add roadmap-specific card grid styles with equal-height cards
- Fix rehype-markdown-links plugin to detect docs directory in various project structures
- Rename roadmap.md to roadmap.mdx for proper Astro/Starlight rendering

* fix(docs): comprehensive documentation site review fixes
Rehype plugins:
- Rewrite rehype-markdown-links for correct relative .md resolution
- Handle raw HTML base paths and bare .md links in rehype-base-paths
- Guard protocol-relative URLs (//...) in all link processors
- Use file.path instead of file.history[0] for vfile compatibility
- Fail build when content directory cannot be detected
- Export helpers for testability; add 107 unit tests
Build & CI:
- Revert cancel-in-progress to false to avoid mid-deploy cancellation
- Remove redundant link-validation CI step (build validates internally)
- Remove unnecessary fetch-depth:0 from docs deploy workflow
- Refuse docs build on Windows (platform guard)
- Remove dead build scripts and stale references
Tooling:
- Add DOCS_ROOT boundary check in validate-doc-links.js
- Handle directory paths and prefix stripping in link validator
- Remove dead regex and add // guard in fix-doc-links.js
Accessibility & CSS:
- Darken caution/danger aside title colors for WCAG AA 4.5:1 contrast
- Fix 100vw scrollbar overflow (banner width:100%, html overflow-x:clip)
- Add :focus-visible ring to banner link for keyboard navigation
- Remove dead CSS declaration and add missing code block lang
Documentation content:
- Convert /docs/ absolute links to relative paths and fix llms.txt URLs
- Correct command file paths and naming in commands reference
- Update stale shard-doc command to current /bmad-shard-doc format
- Fix incomplete sentence in install-bmad.md
- Add Quick Flow next steps and fix 404 link path
- Expand thin content pages with substantive detail
- Add sidebar ordering frontmatter to all content pages
- Remove BMGD docs (moved to dedicated repo)
- Remove unused assets and misleading diagram caption
- Add non-iframe fallback link to workflow map diagram
- Remove dead noscript block from workflow-map
- Standardize BMAD to BMad, fix spelling/grammar, normalize headings

* fix(docs): add non-interactive installation to sidebar, rewrite and reorder how-to guides
- Move non-interactive-installation.md into how-to/ directory so it appears
in the sidebar navigation (was orphaned at docs root)
- Rewrite the page based on editorial review: consolidate redundant sections,
add missing how-to structure (prerequisites, "What You Get"), condense
installation modes from 5 subsections to a table, cut speculative examples
- Reorder how-to sidebar: Install (1), Non-Interactive (2), Upgrade to v6 (3),
then the rest following user journey order
- Fix README link to point to docs site instead of repo-internal markdown path

* fix(docs): address documentation review findings
Fix broken directory tree, grammar errors, inconsistent naming,
missing admonition/headings, enable lastUpdated timestamps in CI,
and remove footer CSS that misapplied to the content footer.

* fix(docs): move bleeding-edge install command out of Verify Installation
The alternative npx command for installing from main was misplaced
inside the "Verify Installation" section. Move it to a tip admonition
under Step 1 where users look for install options.

The downloads page offered bmad-sources.zip and bmad-prompts.zip, both
redundant: GitHub provides source archives for every tag natively, and
npx bmad-method install is the supported path for compiled prompts.
Remove the downloads page, all bundle generation code, the archiver
dependency, and nav links. The llms.txt and llms-full.txt files (the
genuinely useful artifacts) continue to be generated as before.
* docs: add official external modules reference page
* chore: remove obsolete docs and basement files
* fix: update robots.txt URLs to docs.bmad-method.org
* fix: generate robots.txt dynamically from site base URL
Replace static robots.txt with an Astro endpoint that uses the
configured site URL, so sitemap references are correct on both
fork deployments and production.
* fix: unify site URL resolution in build-docs.js
build-docs.js had its own hardcoded fallback URL
(bmad-code-org.github.io) instead of using the shared
getSiteUrl() function, causing URL mismatches between
robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemaps. Now all components
resolve the site URL through the same function. Renamed
site-url.js to .mjs to avoid Node ESM detection warnings.
* fix: correct module names and relocate prompt file
- CIS: "Creative Innovation Suite" → "Creative Intelligence Suite"
- GDS: "Game Dev Suite" → "Game Dev Studio"
- Move _prompt-external-modules-page.md from docs/ to tools/docs/
* refactor: convert build-docs to ESM, eliminate mutable globals
- Convert build-docs.js to build-docs.mjs (CJS → ESM)
- Import getSiteUrl directly, remove async import workaround
- Kill mutable SITE_URL global, call getSiteUrl() where needed
- Clean up Banner.astro variable naming
- Update package.json and CI workflow for .mjs extension
- Add CSS to break workflow diagram iframe out of content container
- iframe now spans full viewport width instead of max-width constraint
- Adjust iframe height to 700px for better fit
- Remove border/border-radius for seamless full-width look

Allows iframe src attributes to be properly transformed with the base path,
enabling the interactive workflow diagram to be embedded in markdown pages.
* docs: radical reduction of documentation scope for v6 beta
Archive and basement unreviewed content to ship a focused, minimal doc set.
Changes:
- Archive stale how-to workflow guides (will rewrite for v6)
- Archive outdated explanation and reference content
- Move unreviewed content to basement for later review
- Reorganize TEA docs into dedicated /tea/ section
- Add workflow-map visual reference page
- Simplify getting-started tutorial and sidebar navigation
- Add explanation pages: brainstorming, adversarial-review, party-mode,
quick-flow, advanced-elicitation
- Fix base URL handling for subdirectory deployments (GitHub Pages forks)
The goal is a minimal, accurate doc set for beta rather than
comprehensive but potentially misleading content.

* refactor: restructure BMM and agents documentation by consolidating and flattening index files.
---------

* Add interactive workflow guide page
Replace confusing static SVG workflow diagram with an interactive
guide at /workflow-guide. Users select their track (Quick Flow,
BMad Method, Enterprise) and see relevant phases, agents, commands,
and outputs. Update link validator to recognize custom page routes.

* Add visual dev loop indicator to workflow guide
Wrap create-story, dev-story, and code-review in a dashed border
group with a "Repeat for each story" label to clearly communicate
the iterative development cycle in Phase 4.

* Simplify workflow guide to vertical slash command flow
Replace expandable phase cards with a clean vertical flow showing
slash commands as the primary element, with down arrows between
steps, agent badges, required/optional status, and concise
descriptions. Add prominent /bmad-help callout and note that
agent loading is optional.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Simplify README Quick Start with numbered command flows
Replace wordy paragraphs and track table with two clear numbered
paths (Quick Flow: 3 commands, BMad Method: 6 steps) and a
prominent /bmad-help callout as the primary guidance mechanism.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Add Party Mode to README, /bmad-help to getting-started
Add Party Mode bullet to Why BMad section, note about agent-based
usage as an alternative to direct workflows, and a /bmad-help
mention in the getting-started tutorial after installation.

* Update README tagline and format modules table
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix workflow-guide links to use relative paths
The /workflow-guide absolute path breaks with non-root base paths.
Use relative paths since workflow-guide is a custom Astro page
outside the docs collection. Docs-to-docs links keep the /docs/
pattern which the rehype plugin handles.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Revert workflow-guide links to absolute paths
Use /workflow-guide to match the /docs/ convention used throughout.
Works correctly on the production site where base path is /.
