- Installation path is now fully configurable, allowing users to specify custom installation directories during setup
- Default installation location changed to .bmad (hidden directory) for cleaner project root organization
Web Bundle Improvements:
- All web bundles (single agent and team) now include party mode support for multi-agent collaboration!
- Advanced elicitation capabilities integrated into standalone agents
- All bundles enhanced with party mode agent manifests
- Added default-party.csv files to bmm, bmgd, and cis module teams
- The default party file is what will be used with single agent bundles. teams can customize for different party configurations before web bundling through a setting in the team yaml file
- New web bundle outputs for all agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer, game-*, creative-squad)
Phase 4 Workflow Updates (In Progress):
- Initiated shift to separate phase 4 implementation artifacts from documentation
- Phase 4 implementation artifacts (stories, code review, sprint plan, context files) will move to dedicated location outside docs folder
- Installer questions and configuration added for artifact path selection
- Updated workflow.yaml files for code-review, sprint-planning, story-context, epic-tech-context, and retrospective workflows to support this, but still might require some udpates
Additional Changes:
- New agent and action command header models for standardization
- Enhanced web-bundle-activation-steps fragment
- Updated web-bundler.js to support new structure
- VS Code settings updated for new .bmad directory
- Party mode instructions and workflow enhanced for better orchestration
IDE Installer Updates:
- Show version number of installer in cli
- improved Installer UX
- Gemini TOML Improved to have clear loading instructions with @ commands
- All tools agent launcher mds improved to use a central file template critical indication isntead of hardcoding in 2 different locations.
- Deduplicate module lists in manifest generator using Set to prevent duplicate entries in installed manifests
- Update GitHub Copilot tool names to match official VS Code documentation (November 2025)
- Clean up legacy bmad/, bmd/, and web-bundles directories
- Add adv-elicit-methods.csv dependency to all workflows using adv-elicit.xml
- architecture workflow
- prd workflow
- tech-spec workflow
- Include BMM web bundles (8 agents + team-fullstack)
- Update v6 open items list
This fixes runtime failures when advanced elicitation is invoked in bundled
workflows by ensuring the 39 elicitation methods CSV is properly included.
Note: Web bundler still has optimizations and known issues to address in
upcoming commits.
Introduce automated validation for agent YAML files using Zod to ensure
schema compliance across all agent definitions. This feature validates
17 agent files across core and module directories, catching structural
errors and maintaining consistency.
Schema Validation (tools/schema/agent.js):
- Zod-based schema validating metadata, persona, menu, prompts, and critical actions
- Module-aware validation: module field required for src/modules/**/agents/,
optional for src/core/agents/
- Enforces kebab-case unique triggers and at least one command target per menu item
- Validates persona.principles as array (not string)
- Comprehensive refinements for data integrity
CLI Validator (tools/validate-agent-schema.js):
- Scans src/{core,modules/*}/agents/*.agent.yaml
- Parses with js-yaml and validates using Zod schema
- Reports detailed errors with file paths and field paths
- Exits 1 on failures, 0 on success
- Accepts optional project_root parameter for testing
Testing (679 lines across 3 test files):
- test/test-cli-integration.sh: CLI behavior and error handling tests
- test/unit-test-schema.js: Direct schema validation unit tests
- test/test-agent-schema.js: Comprehensive fixture-based tests
- 50 test fixtures covering valid and invalid scenarios
- ESLint configured to support CommonJS test files
- Prettier configured to ignore intentionally broken fixtures
CI Integration (.github/workflows/lint.yaml):
- Renamed from format-check.yaml to lint.yaml
- Added schema-validation job running npm run validate:schemas
- Runs in parallel with prettier and eslint jobs
- Validates on all pull requests
Data Cleanup:
- Fixed src/core/agents/bmad-master.agent.yaml: converted persona.principles
from string to array format
Documentation:
- Updated schema-classification.md with validation section
- Documents validator usage, enforcement rules, and CI integration
