feat: Add documentation guides, simplify folder structure, and major workflow refactoring
Created two comprehensive guides for v6 features:
**docs/agent-customization-guide.md**
- Complete guide for customizing agent names, personas, memories, and behaviors
- Update-safe customization via bmad/_cfg/agents/ configuration files
- Real-world examples (TDD setup, multilingual agents, custom workflows)
- Troubleshooting and best practices
**docs/web-bundles-gemini-gpt-guide.md**
- Comprehensive guide for using BMad agents in Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs
- Critical setup rules with exact configuration text required
- Cost-saving strategy: web planning → local implementation (60-80% savings)
- Platform comparison (Gemini Gems strongly recommended over Custom GPTs)
- Complete workflow examples showing full planning-to-implementation cycle
- Team bundle guidance (Gemini 2.5 Pro+ only)
**README.md updates**
- Added prominent links in v6 Core Enhancements section
- Created new "Customization & Sharing" documentation category
- Web Bundles feature highlighted with direct guide link
**Unified output folder structure across all modules:**
**Before (confusing):**
- output_folder: Main docs
- game_design_docs: Separate design folder
- tech_docs: Separate technical folder
- dev_ephemeral_location: Separate ephemeral folder outside docs
**After (simplified):**
- output_folder: Single location for ALL AI-generated artifacts (default: "docs")
- Clearer prompt: "Where should AI Generated Artifacts be saved?"
- sprint_artifacts: Phase 4 ephemeral content now WITHIN output_folder
- BMM: {output_folder}/stories (stories, context, reports)
- BMGD: {output_folder}/sprint-artifacts
- No longer in separate {bmad_folder}-ephemeral location
**Benefits:**
- One clear location for all planning artifacts (PRD, Architecture, UX, etc.)
- Phase 4 ephemeral items logically grouped within output folder
- Eliminated confusing separate folder proliferation
- sprint_artifacts now configurable per module
**Files changed:**
- src/core/_module-installer/install-config.yaml
- src/modules/bmm/_module-installer/install-config.yaml
- src/modules/bmgd/_module-installer/install-config.yaml
**Also cleaned up BMGD config:**
- Renamed: specified_framework → primary_platform (clearer naming)
- Removed: unused data_path variable
Replaced old "project_level" (0-4) system with new "selected_track" terminology:
- **quick-flow**: Bug fixes and small features (replaces Level 0-1)
- **bmad-method**: Full planning track (replaces Level 2-3)
- **enterprise-bmad-method**: Extended planning (replaces Level 4)
**Core workflow updates:**
- solutioning-gate-check: Complete rewrite of validation logic for track-based artifacts
- architecture: Updated context detection, error handling, and messaging for tracks
- workflow-init: Updated artifact detection patterns for track-based paths
- All workflow status paths updated (method-greenfield, method-brownfield, enterprise-*)
Unified variable naming conventions across all workflows:
- {output_folder} → {output-folder} (hyphenated format)
- {dev_ephemeral_location} → {sprint_artifacts} (clearer purpose)
- Hardcoded status file paths → {workflow_status_file} variable
Fixed corrupted variable patterns throughout workflow files:
- {output*folder} → {output-folder}
- {ephemeral*location} → {sprint_artifacts}
- \_prd* → *prd* (escaped underscore artifacts)
- **\*\***\_\_\_**\*\*** → proper field placeholders
Affected patterns included malformed glob patterns, template variables, and markdown formatting artifacts from previous edits.
**Architecture workflow (create-architecture):**
- Fixed: "Decision Architecture" → "Create Architecture" (consistent naming)
- Improved PRD not found handling with exit/continue options
- Better user guidance when running standalone vs. within workflow path
- Removed hardcoded Level checks, now track-aware
- Enhanced validation checklist formatting (□ → - [])
- Typo fixes: "mulitple" → "multiple"
**Solutioning gate check:**
- Complete validation logic rewrite for track-based system
- Removed Level-specific artifact expectations
- Simplified document discovery (track determines what exists)
- Better analysis prompts and user feedback
**Workflow-init:**
- Updated artifact detection patterns for new folder structure
- Fixed corrupt glob patterns throughout
- Better sprint_artifacts location detection
- Improved workflow path assignment logic
**Various workflows:**
- Consistent variable naming across 40+ workflow files
- Improved error messages and user guidance
- Better markdown formatting (checkboxes, lists)
- Removed redundant validation criteria files (now inline)
Removed duplicate BMGD 4-production workflows (12 workflows):
- code-review, correct-course, create-story, dev-story
- epic-tech-context, retrospective, sprint-planning
- story-context, story-done, story-ready
**Why:** BMGD now uses shared BMM Phase 4 implementation workflows
**Benefit:** Single source of truth, no duplication to maintain
Also removed:
- validation-criteria.yaml (validation now inline in instructions)
- architecture-patterns.yaml references (patterns now managed differently)
- AUDIT-REPORT.md files (stale audit artifacts)
**BMB workflows:**
- Updated checklists for workflow and module creation
- Improved agent architecture documentation
- Minor instruction clarifications
**Core brainstorming workflow:**
- Updated README with usage examples
- Enhanced instructions and template clarity
- Better integration with other modules
**BMM installer:**
- Updated for track-based system
- sprint_artifacts configuration
**Tech Writer agent:**
- Minor configuration update for documentation workflows
Removed 200+ files that should not be in repository:
- Installed agent markdown files (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, etc.)
- Complete workflow instruction copies
- Documentation duplicates (quick-start, agents-guide, workflows-*)
- Test architecture knowledge base (22 files, 14,000+ lines)
- Configuration files (config.yaml, team definitions)
These are generated during installation and should not be version controlled.
Removed 21 pre-generated XML bundles:
- BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer)
- BMGD agents (game-architect, game-designer, game-dev, game-scrum-master)
- CIS agents (brainstorming-coach, creative-problem-solver, etc.)
- Team bundles (team-fullstack, team-gamedev, creative-squad)
**Why:** Users should generate fresh bundles via `npm run bundle` to get latest changes and customizations.
- **2 new documentation files** (comprehensive guides)
- **98 source files modified** (299 insertions, 6,567 deletions)
- **3 installer config files simplified** (major folder structure improvement)
- **200+ .bmad/ artifacts removed** (should not be in repo)
- **21 web-bundle files removed** (users regenerate as needed)
- **12 duplicate workflows removed** (BMGD consolidation)
- **40+ workflows updated** (track system, variable standardization, corruption fixes)

<step n="3" title="Execution Guidelines">
|

<i>Method execution: Use the description from CSV to understand and apply each method</i>
|
||||
<i>Output pattern: Use the pattern as a flexible guide (e.g., "paths → evaluation → selection")</i>
|
||||
<i>Dynamic adaptation: Adjust complexity based on content needs (simple to sophisticated)</i>
|
||||
<i>Creative application: Interpret methods flexibly based on context while maintaining pattern consistency</i>
|
||||
<i>Be concise: Focus on actionable insights</i>
|
||||
<i>Stay relevant: Tie elicitation to specific content being analyzed (the current section from create-doc)</i>
|
||||
<i>Identify personas: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify viewpoints</i>
|
||||
<i>Critical loop behavior: Always re-offer the 1-5,r,x choices after each method execution</i>
|
||||
<i>Continue until user selects 'x' to proceed with enhanced content</i>
|
||||
<i>Each method application builds upon previous enhancements</i>
|
||||
<i>Content preservation: Track all enhancements made during elicitation</i>
|
||||
<i>Iterative enhancement: Each selected method (1-5) should:</i>
|
||||
<i> 1. Apply to the current enhanced version of the content</i>
|
||||
<i> 2. Show the improvements made</i>
|
||||
<i> 3. Return to the prompt for additional elicitations or completion</i>

YOU ARE A HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN FACILITATOR:
|
||||
- Keep users at the center of every decision
|
||||
- Encourage divergent thinking before convergent action
|
||||
- Make ideas tangible quickly - prototype beats discussion
|
||||
- Embrace failure as feedback, not defeat
|
||||
- Test with real users, not assumptions
|
||||
- Balance empathy with action momentum

<workflow>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="1" goal="Gather context and define design challenge">
|

Ask the user about their design challenge:
|
||||
- What problem or opportunity are you exploring?
|
||||
- Who are the primary users or stakeholders?
|
||||
- What constraints exist (time, budget, technology)?
|
||||
- What success looks like for this project?
|
||||
- Any existing research or context to consider?
|
||||
|
||||
Load any context data provided via the data attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a clear design challenge statement.

<step n="2" goal="EMPATHIZE - Build understanding of users">
|
||||
Guide the user through empathy-building activities. Explain in your own voice why deep empathy with users is essential before jumping to solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
Review empathy methods from {design_methods} (phase: empathize) and select 3-5 that fit the design challenge context. Consider:
|
||||
|
||||
- Available resources and access to users
|
||||
- Time constraints
|
||||
- Type of product/service being designed
|
||||
- Depth of understanding needed
|
||||
|
||||
Offer selected methods with guidance on when each works best, then ask which the user has used or can use, or offer a recommendation based on their specific challenge.
|
||||
|
||||
Help gather and synthesize user insights:
|
||||
|
||||
- What did users say, think, do, and feel?
|
||||
- What pain points emerged?
|
||||
- What surprised you?
|

Check in: "We've gathered rich user insights. How are you feeling? Ready to synthesize into problem statements?"
|
||||
</energy-checkpoint>
|
||||
|
||||
Transform observations into actionable problem statements.
|
||||
|
||||
Guide through problem framing (phase: define methods):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create Point of View statement: "[User type] needs [need] because [insight]"
|
||||
2. Generate "How Might We" questions that open solution space
|
||||
3. Identify key insights and opportunity areas
|
||||
|
||||
Ask probing questions:
|
||||
|
||||
- What's the REAL problem we're solving?
|
||||
- Why does this matter to users?
|
||||
- What would success look like for them?
|
||||
- What assumptions are we making?

<step n="4" goal="IDEATE - Generate diverse solutions">
|
||||
Facilitate creative solution generation. Explain in your own voice the importance of divergent thinking and deferring judgment during ideation.
|
||||
|
||||
Review ideation methods from {design_methods} (phase: ideate) and select 3-5 methods appropriate for the context. Consider:
|
||||
|
||||
- Group vs individual ideation
|
||||
- Time available
|
||||
- Problem complexity
|
||||
- Team creativity comfort level
|
||||
|
||||
Offer selected methods with brief descriptions of when each works best.
|
||||
|
||||
Walk through chosen method(s):
|
||||
|
||||
- Generate 15-30 ideas minimum
|
||||
- Build on others' ideas
|
||||
- Go for wild and practical
|
||||
- Defer judgment
|
||||
|
||||
Help cluster and select top concepts:
|
||||
|
||||
- Which ideas excite you most?
|
||||
- Which address the core user need?
|
||||
- Which are feasible given constraints?
|
||||
- Select 2-3 to prototype

Check in: "We've generated lots of ideas! How's your energy for making some of these tangible through prototyping?"
|
||||
</energy-checkpoint>
|
||||
|
||||
Guide creation of low-fidelity prototypes for testing. Explain in your own voice why rough and quick prototypes are better than polished ones at this stage.
|
||||
|
||||
Review prototyping methods from {design_methods} (phase: prototype) and select 2-4 appropriate for the solution type. Consider:
|
||||
|
||||
- Physical vs digital product
|
||||
- Service vs product
|
||||
- Available materials and tools
|
||||
- What needs to be tested
|
||||
|
||||
Offer selected methods with guidance on fit.
|
||||
|
||||
Help define prototype:
|
||||
|
||||
- What's the minimum to test your assumptions?
|
||||
- What are you trying to learn?
|
||||
- What should users be able to do?
|

- What can you fake vs build?

<step n="6" goal="TEST - Validate with users">
|
||||
Design validation approach and capture learnings. Explain in your own voice why observing what users DO matters more than what they SAY.
|
||||
|
||||
Help plan testing (phase: test methods):
|
||||
|
||||
- Who will you test with? (aim for 5-7 users)
|
||||
- What tasks will they attempt?
|
||||
- What questions will you ask?
|
||||
- How will you capture feedback?
|
||||
|
||||
Guide feedback collection:
|
||||
|
||||
- What worked well?
|
||||
- Where did they struggle?
|
||||
- What surprised them (and you)?
|
||||
- What questions arose?
|
||||
- What would they change?
|
||||
|
||||
Synthesize learnings:
|
||||
|
||||
- What assumptions were validated/invalidated?
|
||||
- What needs to change?
|
||||
- What should stay?
|
||||
- What new insights emerged?

</energy-checkpoint>
|
||||
|

Define clear next steps and success criteria.
|
||||
|
||||
Based on testing insights:
|
||||
|
||||
- What refinements are needed?
|
||||
- What's the priority action?
|
||||
- Who needs to be involved?
|
||||
- What timeline makes sense?
|
||||
- How will you measure success?
|
||||
|
||||
Determine next cycle:
|
||||
|
||||
- Do you need more empathy work?
|
||||
- Should you reframe the problem?
|
||||
- Ready to refine prototype?
|
||||
- Time to pilot with real users?
