# Edit Module Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
Interactive workflow for editing existing BMAD modules, including structure, agents, workflows, configuration, and documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
This workflow helps you improve and maintain BMAD modules by:
|
||||
|
||||
- Analyzing module structure against best practices
|
||||
- Managing agents and workflows within the module
|
||||
- Updating configuration and documentation
|
||||
- Ensuring cross-module integration works correctly
|
||||
- Maintaining installer configuration (for source modules)
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
Use this workflow when you need to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add new agents or workflows to a module
|
||||
- Update module configuration
|
||||
- Improve module documentation
|
||||
- Reorganize module structure
|
||||
- Set up cross-module workflow sharing
|
||||
- Fix issues in module organization
|
||||
- Update installer configuration
|
||||
|
||||
## What You'll Need
|
||||
|
||||
- Path to the module directory you want to edit
|
||||
- Understanding of what changes you want to make
|
||||
- Access to module documentation (loaded automatically)
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Load and analyze target module** - Provide path to module directory
|
||||
2. **Analyze against best practices** - Automatic audit of module structure
|
||||
3. **Select editing focus** - Choose what aspect to edit
|
||||
4. **Load relevant documentation and tools** - Auto-loads guides and workflows
|
||||
5. **Perform edits** - Review and approve changes iteratively
|
||||
6. **Validate all changes** - Comprehensive validation checklist
|
||||
7. **Generate change summary** - Summary of improvements made
|
||||
|
||||
## Editing Options
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow provides 12 focused editing options:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Fix critical issues** - Address missing files, broken references
|
||||
2. **Update module config** - Edit config.yaml fields
|
||||
3. **Manage agents** - Add, edit, or remove agents
|
||||
4. **Manage workflows** - Add, edit, or remove workflows
|
||||
5. **Update documentation** - Improve README files and guides
|
||||
6. **Reorganize structure** - Fix directory organization
|
||||
7. **Add new agent** - Create and integrate new agent
|
||||
8. **Add new workflow** - Create and integrate new workflow
|
||||
9. **Update installer** - Modify installer configuration (source only)
|
||||
10. **Cross-module integration** - Set up workflow sharing with other modules
|
||||
11. **Remove deprecated items** - Delete unused agents, workflows, or files
|
||||
12. **Full module review** - Comprehensive analysis and improvements
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Other Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
This workflow integrates with:
|
||||
|
||||
- **edit-agent** - For editing individual agents
|
||||
- **edit-workflow** - For editing individual workflows
|
||||
- **create-agent** - For adding new agents
|
||||
- **create-workflow** - For adding new workflows
|
||||
|
||||
When you select options to manage agents or workflows, the appropriate specialized workflow is invoked automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
## Module Structure
|
||||
|
||||
A proper BMAD module has:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
module-code/
|
||||
├── agents/ # Agent definitions
|
||||
│ └── *.agent.yaml
|
||||
├── workflows/ # Workflow definitions
|
||||
│ └── workflow-name/
|
||||
│ ├── workflow.yaml
|
||||
│ ├── instructions.md
|
||||
│ ├── checklist.md
|
||||
│ └── README.md
|
||||
├── config.yaml # Module configuration
|
||||
└── README.md # Module documentation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Standard Module Config
|
||||
|
||||
Every module config.yaml should have:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
module_name: 'Full Module Name'
|
||||
module_code: 'xyz'
|
||||
user_name: 'User Name'
|
||||
communication_language: 'english'
|
||||
output_folder: 'path/to/output'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Optional fields may be added for module-specific needs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cross-Module Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Modules can share workflows:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# In agent menu item:
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/bmad/other-module/workflows/shared-workflow/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Common patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
- BMM uses CIS brainstorming workflows
|
||||
- All modules can use core workflows
|
||||
- Modules can invoke each other's workflows
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow modifies module files in place, including:
|
||||
|
||||
- config.yaml
|
||||
- Agent files
|
||||
- Workflow files
|
||||
- README and documentation files
|
||||
- Directory structure (if reorganizing)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied.
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your module first
|
||||
- **Use specialized workflows** - Let edit-agent and edit-workflow handle detailed edits
|
||||
- **Update documentation** - Keep README files current with changes
|
||||
- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch structural issues
|
||||
- **Test after editing** - Invoke agents and workflows to verify they work
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- For adding agents/workflows, use options 7-8 to create and integrate in one step
|
||||
- For quick config changes, use option 2 (update module config)
|
||||
- Cross-module integration (option 10) helps set up workflow sharing
|
||||
- Full module review (option 12) is great for inherited or legacy modules
|
||||
- The workflow handles path updates when you reorganize structure
|
||||
|
||||
## Source vs Installed Modules
|
||||
|
||||
**Source modules** (in src/modules/):
|
||||
|
||||
- Have installer files in tools/cli/installers/
|
||||
- Can configure web bundles
|
||||
- Are the development source of truth
|
||||
|
||||
**Installed modules** (in bmad/):
|
||||
|
||||
- Are deployed to target projects
|
||||
- Use config.yaml for user customization
|
||||
- Are compiled from source during installation
|
||||
|
||||
This workflow works with both, but installer options only apply to source modules.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: I want to add a new workflow to BMM for API design
|
||||
Workflow: Analyzes BMM → You choose option 8 (add new workflow)
|
||||
→ Invokes create-workflow → Creates workflow
|
||||
→ Integrates it into module → Updates README → Done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Activation
|
||||
|
||||
Invoke via BMad Builder agent:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/bmad:bmb:agents:bmad-builder
|
||||
Then select: *edit-module
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or directly via workflow.xml with this workflow config.
