docs: audit the docs and README against v7 and add the upgrade-from-v6 page by alexeyv · Pull Request #3062 · bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD

alexeyv · 2026-10-06T16:14:31Z

Summary

Audit of the English docs and the root README against what v7 actually does. Every page under docs/start, docs/plan, docs/build, docs/customize, docs/existing-codebases, and docs/reference, plus README.md, docs/_STYLE_GUIDE.md, and the diagrams, was checked claim by claim against the skills, their help topics, and the CHANGELOG. What was false is fixed; what was true stays as written, even where help phrases it differently.

Each audit commit carries its page's finding list in the body: one Fix or Left line per claim checked, with the skill or help file that settles it. Read the commit bodies for the per-page detail.

What changed

New page: docs/reference/upgrade-from-v6.md. Walks a v6 user through bmad setup, the renamed and retired skills, and bmad migrate for v6 planning documents, epics.md, sprint-status.yaml, and story files. It lives in Reference (sidebar order 2), linked only from the install page, and is the one page allowed to name v6-era names, each once beside its replacement.
Skills reference names only installed skills, matches the method and core-tools skill lists, and no longer states a module naming rule that no shipped module follows.
Add Modules is rewritten for v7: npx skills add, bmad setup, plugin-managed modules, and Toolsmith in place of BMad Builder. Ecosystem modules keep a link to their own docs and lose their v6 install commands.
Planning pages use the method's four phases (analysis, planning, implementation, validation); the "solutioning" phase is gone from prose and from planning-skills.svg. Ticketing pages describe the ticket tree, tickets.py, and plans as they work now, including that only you, or an orchestrator, mark a ticket done.
Build pages match bmad-build, bmad-build-auto, bmad-code-review, and bmad-retrospective step by step: review depth, triage outcomes, every halt an intent gap can cause and what each leaves behind, and the deferred-work.md name. build-run.svg is redrawn to the current flow; walkthrough-run.svg was embedded nowhere and is deleted.
Customize pages describe the three config layers, the agent override surfaces, and which skills expose a render_skill.py invocation.
Existing-codebase pages describe bmad-project-context as it works, gain a section on keeping a repository fit for agents, and describe the removed v6 skills by role rather than name.
README is true for v7; the ecosystem table lists repositories, so Toolsmith is mentioned on the BMad Method row rather than given its own.

No page in scope names a removed or renamed skill, setting, or command (checked by grep over every retired.toml name plus planning_artifacts, implementation_artifacts, web bundles, BMad Builder, and npx bmad-method install). Every diagram under docs-site/src/diagrams is embedded by a page.

Out of scope, recorded for follow-up

The skills and their help are the source of truth and were not edited. Where they contradict each other, the audit recorded a Source conflict: line in the commit body instead of picking a side; there are 17 across the branch, for example bmad-prd, bmad-ux, and bmad-architecture still routing to the removed bmad-workflow-builder, and toolsmith help/naming.md stating a bmad-<code>-<skill> rule the Toolsmith record does not follow. Two Gap: lines note content with no source to write from: a BMad Loop row in the Add Modules ecosystem table, and a trust caution for third-party modules.

docs/toolsmith/ and the Toolsmith help topics were left alone by decision.

Test plan

cd docs-site && npm run lint && npm run format:check && npm run build && npm run validate-sidebar && npm test exits 0 at every commit on the branch
npm run validate-links: 35 files, 0 issues
Forbidden-name grep over the 30 in-scope pages (62 names): no hits
Every skill under skills/bmad-* is named on the skills reference page, except Toolsmith's two, which docs/toolsmith/ covers
docs.yaml deploy succeeds after merge

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 050fc

The documentation may mislead readers about whether they can migrate, whether a shipped party remembers sessions, and when Build asks about an intent gap. These are bounded issues that should be corrected but do not prevent the workflows themselves from running.

…6 page Every page under docs/start, docs/plan, docs/build, docs/customize, docs/existing-codebases, and docs/reference, plus README.md, the style guide, and the diagrams, checked claim by claim against the skills, their help, and the CHANGELOG. Each section below is one audit, with its finding list: Fix for a false claim, Left for a true one and why it stays. Source conflict lines record contradictions inside the skills and help, which this change does not edit. ## docs: drop retired names from the skills reference Those skill ids no longer ship, the technical writer is not on hiatus, and bmad setup offers to delete skills a module no longer ships. ## docs: keep manual cleanup advice for skills of a removed module ## docs: audit the start pages and README against v7 ### docs/start/install-bmad.md - Fix — the module records listed only `bmod-core-tools` and `bmod-method`; `bmod-toolsmith` now ships from this repository (bmod.toml, CHANGELOG Unreleased), so the sentence names all three. - Left — prerequisites (uv required per core-tools pre_install_message and setup.md; Node.js, npm, Git for the Skills CLI) are true. - Left — the by-name install example names only shipped skills (`bmad`, `bmod-core-tools`, `bmod-method`, `bmad-build`, `bmad-ticket`). - Left — plugin marketplace names and plugins live in the external bmad-plugins repository; nothing here contradicts them. - Left — Set Up and Verify: setup writes the shared and module scripts under `_bmad/`, `bmad status` reports versions, output goes to `_bmad-output` (config.template.toml) inside the active initiative, and `bmad` creates or switches it (core-tools help, SKILL.md). - Left — Update: version check and `npx skills update`, new config questions, `_bmad/custom/` moves for renamed skills, offers to delete retired skills, then the migration check, all match references/setup.md and CHANGELOG; plugin-managed modules update through the marketplace, as setup.md relays. - Left — What You Get: `_bmad/custom/` customizations surviving setup matches setup.md ("never changes an existing value"). ### docs/start/get-answers-about-bmad.md - Left — `bmad` reads the active initiative and the `<type>-<slug>/` folders (references/help.md step 1). - Left — the tip's `bmad setup`, `bmad status`, `bmad migrate method`, and initiative switching are all `bmad` actions (SKILL.md). - Left — the `bmad-build` example (intent, issue, spec, or planned story) matches method help ("free text, a ticket from the tree, or any file as intent"). - Left — "over 80% of questions", the Discord channels, and the poem are not claims the sources speak to. ### docs/start/build-your-first-change.md - Fix — Before You Start omitted uv, which `bmad setup` requires (setup.md; core-tools pre_install_message), so the tutorial's setup step would fail; it now lists uv. - Left — the install, `bmad setup`, and `bmad-build` flow, the plan approval, and the hedge that questions and plan may differ match bmad-build's routes. - Left — `/bmad Explain what bmad-build just did.` is a help request the `bmad` skill answers. - Left — all links resolve (link validation passes); no headings changed. ### README.md - Fix — the module records listed only `bmod-method` and `bmod-core-tools`; it now adds `bmod-toolsmith`. - Fix — the ecosystem row named BMad Builder, which is retired; it is now Toolsmith (`bmod-toolsmith`: agent `bmad-toolsmith`, skill `bmad-eval`), "Build, convert, and evaluate skills, agents, and modules". Link target: the docs site page https://docs.bmad-method.org/toolsmith/toolsmith/, built from `docs/toolsmith/toolsmith.md` and in the sidebar, because Toolsmith ships from this repository and has no repository of its own; that page also says how it installs. - Left — `bmad status` and `bmad setup` as the update path (runs `npx skills update`, refreshes, cleans up renamed and removed skills) match setup.md and CHANGELOG; marketplace then `bmad setup` matches the plugin-managed case. - Left — install commands, the plugin marketplace text, the docs links, and the other ecosystem rows (external repositories) are not contradicted by the sources. ### docs/_STYLE_GUIDE.md - Fix — the Deep-Dive example `document-project.md` named a v6 workflow that no v7 skill provides; the example is now `bmad-eval.md`, an existing single-skill deep dive in `docs/toolsmith/`. - Fix — the context marker `*BMad Method/Enterprise.*` named the v6 Enterprise planning track, which v7 does not have (method help sizes work by project size and stakes); the marker is now `*BMad Method.*`. - Left — the skills table example (`bmad-brainstorming` via the Analyst's BP item, `bmad-prd` via the PM) is true. - Left — the folder-structure block (`_bmad-output/initiative-<slug>/prd-<slug>/prd-<slug>.md`, `AGENTS.md` via `bmad-project-context`) matches the v7 layout. - Left — the FAQ example's `bmad-correct-course` ships; `*Phase N.*` matches the four phases in method help; `*BMGD.*` names a current external module. - Left — the diagram paths (`docs-site/src/diagrams/`, `/diagrams/build-run.svg`, `docs/images/`) and the npm scripts (`export-readme-diagrams`, `fix-links`, `validate-links`, `build`) exist. - Left — the other example filenames (`core-concepts/index.md`, `what-are-agents.md`, `build.md`, `workflows/index.md`, `agents/index.md`, `core-tasks.md`, `glossary/index.md`, `bmgd-workflows.md`) are illustrative and name no skill, setting, or command. ### docs/404.md - Left — the link to `./index.md` resolves and the page names nothing versioned. ## docs: add the upgrade-from-v6 page - docs/start/upgrade-from-v6.md: new how-to covering skills install, bmad setup, bmad migrate method, and the v6-facing breaking changes. - docs-site/astro.config.mjs: add the Upgrade from v6 item to the Start sidebar after Install BMad. - docs/start/install-bmad.md: link the new page from the update section. - docs/start/build-your-first-change.md: link the new page for repositories already on v6. - docs/start/get-answers-about-bmad.md: link the new page from the tip that names bmad migrate method. Decision: this page is the one page in the epic allowed to name v6-era names (retired skills, old settings, the old installer) because it exists to say what replaced them. Every such name appears once, in a sentence that names its replacement or removal, and never as a current thing. ## docs: audit the choose-a-planning-path page and its diagrams against v7 ### docs/plan/choose-a-planning-path.md - Fix — "You need a PRD when more than one person must agree ... or more than one epic must not diverge; otherwise skip it" told a solo user with detailed, compliance, or integration requirements to skip the PRD, which help routes to `bmad-prd` (help.md Start here; planning-skills.md); the sentence now adds those conditions. - Fix — "The table runs from analysis through planning to solutioning" named a phase the method does not have: help's phases are analysis, planning, implementation, and validation, with `bmad-architecture` and `bmad-ticket` under planning (help.md skills and agents tables); it now runs "from analysis through planning". - Fix — documents with no active initiative were said to land in the output folder; `bmad-product-brief`, `bmad-prd`, `bmad-ux`, `bmad-spec`, and `bmad-architecture` have the user set one first and `bmad-ticket` offers to create one (each SKILL.md; help.md The skills), so the sentence now says so and keeps the output-folder case for the four skills that ask whether the work belongs to one. - Fix — the planning-skills alt text named a solutioning column; it now names the third column "planning how and in what slices", matching the diagram. - Left — intro and Start from the Intent: a well-defined intent goes to `bmad-spec`, one-session specs go to `bmad-build`, epic-sized ones to `bmad-ticket` then a Build per story, and the spec distills without coaching (help.md hub and Start here; bmad-spec SKILL.md). The input-size ceiling is not contradicted by any source. - Left — the gap table and "independent tools, not stages ... in any order" match help ("they can run in any order"); the PRFAQ under a written account for a pitch is not false (it writes a press release and FAQ). - Left — "A multi-epic product runs `bmad-spec` once per epic" matches the ticket tree's per-epic spec folders (bmad-ticket SKILL.md). - Left — every Produces cell matches its skill: `brainstorm-<topic>.md` and `brainstorm.html` (customize `output_folder_name = "brainstorm-{topic_slug}"`, finalize.md; the keepsake is the recommended default artifact), `forge-report.html` every run and `forge-<slug>.md` when hardened, cited `research-<topic>.md` with an optional briefing (`output_format`), `brief-<slug>.md` + `addendum.md`, `prfaq-<slug>.md` + `-distillate.md` (verdict.md), `prd-<slug>.md`, `addendum.md`, `.memlog.md` and `validation-report.html`/`.md`, `DESIGN.md`, `EXPERIENCE.md`, `ux-<slug>.md`, `.memlog.md`, `spec-<slug>.md` + companions, `architecture-<slug>.md` (`run_folder_pattern`), and epic envelopes, `tickets.toml`, and leaf files written only when pulled. - Left — `bmad-prd`'s three intents and asking when unclear, and the brief feeding the PRD with neither required (bmad-prd SKILL.md; planning-skills.md "never a prerequisite"). - Left — Size Follows the Intent: the escalation signals match help ("Risk, unclear requirements, architectural reach, or coordination ... push work up a tier"); the 20-session figure is not contradicted. - Left — Start Epic-Sized Work: spec, then `bmad-ticket` recording stories in build order in `tickets.toml`, building from the entry with no story file, refining for `refine = true` or a ticket with no epic, plans beside `tickets.toml` stopping at `built` until marked done, and `bmad-build-auto` one run per story (bmad-ticket SKILL.md; help.md). - Left — Finish the epic: `bmad-retrospective` takes an epic folder, id, or slug, reads entries and plans, and judges against Done when and the initiative's requirements (bmad-retrospective workflow.md). - Left — Start Project-Sized Work, After Decisions Stabilize, and What You Get match help's smallest-safe-path rule and `bmad-build-auto` as a per-ticket unattended run. - Left — headings unchanged; `#1-start-epic-sized-work` and `#planning-skills-and-what-they-produce` are the only anchors other pages link to. Source conflict: skills/bmad-agent-architect/customize.toml — its role places the architect in "the BMad Method solutioning phase"; help.md lists the architect's phase as Planning and names no solutioning phase. Source conflict: skills/bmod-method/help/help.md — says skills outside its two lists write to `{output_folder}/` when no initiative is active; skills/bmad-ticket/SKILL.md instead offers to create an initiative or backlog folder and records it as `active_initiative`. Source conflict: skills/bmad-prd/SKILL.md — its misroute scan suggests `bmad-workflow-builder` from the BMad Builder module, which skills/bmod-toolsmith/retired.toml lists as removed. ### docs-site/src/diagrams/planning-skills.svg - Fix — the third column was headed SOLUTIONING, a phase help does not have (architecture and ticket are planning skills in help.md); it is now headed PLANNING, keeping its subtitle "decide how, divide the work", and the description names it "Planning how and in what slices" and the second column "Planning what to build". - Left — every artifact label matches its skill, as verified for the page table: `brainstorm-<slug>.md, brainstorm.html`; `forge-<slug>.md, forge-report.html`; `research-<slug>.md`, optional HTML briefing; `brief-<slug>.md, addendum.md`; `prfaq-<slug>/` (the run folder, which exists); `prd-<slug>.md, addendum.md, .memlog.md` and the validate HTML + `.md` report; `ux-<slug>.md, DESIGN.md, EXPERIENCE.md`; `spec-<slug>.md` + companions with the `bmad-ticket` handoff; `architecture-<slug>.md`; ordered `tickets.toml` entries. - Left — the subtitle (any order, `<type>-<slug>/` folder in the active initiative, hand results to `bmad-spec`) matches help's hub description. - Left — the column arrows and the hand-off arrows into `bmad-build`: forge-idea offers its forged idea to `bmad-build` directly (bmad-forge-idea SKILL.md Exits), and spec and ticket hand off to Build per help; the Build box's "one session per unit · built → user marks done · keep plans" matches help. - Left — the planning-column note "One session of work goes straight from the spec to Build" matches help's after-`bmad-spec` row. - Left — geometry, classes, and the existing `var(--dg-*)` usage are unchanged; the file still parses (xmllint) and no README exports it. ### docs-site/src/diagrams/development-paths.svg - Left — Trivial (Change, Edit, Verify) matches "Obvious and low-risk: just make the edit. No skill." - Left — One Session (Intent, Build with plan · build · review, Result) matches `bmad-build` clarifying, planning, implementing, and reviewing in one session. - Left — Epic-Sized (Intent, Spec, Stories, Build × stories, Integrate → retrospect) matches `bmad-spec`, `bmad-ticket`, one `bmad-build` per story, then `bmad-retrospective` judging the whole. - Left — Project-Sized (shared contracts product · UX · tech, then the epic path per epic) matches the page's PRD, UX, and architecture as shared documents with one spec per epic; "roughly 20+ sessions" matches the page. - Left — the page's alt text still describes the diagram; nothing changed. ## docs: audit the idea, research, requirements, and design pages against v7 ### docs/plan/explore-and-validate-an-idea.md - Fix — brainstorming said it aims past a hundred ideas "before it lets you wrap"; the skill ends when the user is spent or the topic is mined out (SKILL.md framing), so it now says it aims past a hundred ideas and resists an early wrap-up. - Fix — "You get an HTML record ... and a short `brainstorm-<topic>.md`" presented both as given; every artifact is opt-in in Facilitator and Creative Partner, and only Ideate for me makes the HTML keepsake without asking (references/finalize.md), so it now says it offers them at wrap-up. - Left — the situation table names only shipped skills (`bmad-brainstorming`, `bmad-forge-idea`, `bmad-deep-recon`, `bmad-party-mode`) and routes the brief and PRFAQ as method help does. - Left — the three brainstorming stances, technique batch or let-it-choose, converge on request, and pause and resume match bmad-brainstorming SKILL.md; the intent doc feeding brief, PRD, or spec matches finalize.md. - Left — the "Pressure-Test an Idea with Forge Idea" heading (linked from docs/reference/skills-and-agents.md) and its content: the three session goals, one question at a time with a proposed answer, fuzzy terms, project files as source of truth, attack/defend/switch roles, two voices per turn, name a persona or go one-on-one, all match bmad-forge-idea SKILL.md. - Left — the three exits, `forge-report.html` every run, `forge-<slug>.md` only when hardened, and its hand-off to `bmad-spec`, `bmad-prd`, or `bmad-prfaq` match the Exits section. - Left — `bmad-advanced-elicitation`: a menu of critique methods, proposed changes applied or rejected, true per its SKILL.md. "The brief, PRD, UX, and spec skills offer it at their own pauses" matches core-tools help. - Left — the tip to run `bmad` and the What Comes Next links resolve and are true. Source conflict: skills/bmod-core-tools/help/help.md — says other skills call `bmad-advanced-elicitation` at their pauses; bmad-product-brief, bmad-prd, bmad-ux, and bmad-spec SKILL.md only mention at the greeting that it is available any time. ### docs/plan/research-a-decision.md - Fix — the closing paragraph named `bmad-market-research`, `bmad-domain-research`, and `bmad-technical-research` and said "the old names still forward here"; none is under `skills/`, no `v6-shims/` exists in v7, and the Analyst menu reaches the types through `MR`, `DR`, and `TR` (bmad-agent-analyst customize.toml). It now says the v6 skills are Deep Recon's `market`, `domain`, and `technical` types, no skill remains under the old names, and to name the type or pick `MR`, `DR`, or `TR` from the Analyst's menu. - Left — the six research types, explore and select shapes, and custom types through `bmad-customize` match deep-recon customize.toml and SKILL.md. - Left — Draft (tool-tuned prompt with questions, recency, citation demand), Process (original filed untouched in `imports/`, claims extracted, gaps flagged, same summary), and Run (presets `quick`/`standard`/`deep`, validation `normal`/`high`/`max`, request overrides the preset) match references/draft.md, process.md, run.md, and customize.toml. - Left — the mode table, the bare-request trade stated once and remembered for the session, the single plan gate, sources retrieved this run, and project files shaping only questions match SKILL.md and help/research.md. - Left — the `research-<topic>/` folder in the active initiative or the output folder when loose (deep-recon asks once per session), its imports, digests, and `research-<topic>.md`, and Refresh and Deepen match lifecycle.md. - Left — the Starting It phrases and `/bmad-customize bmad-deep-recon` are requests the skill routes. ### docs/plan/define-requirements-and-a-specification.md - Fix — the "What each skill produces" note said each document lands in the output folder when no initiative is active; `bmad-product-brief`, `bmad-prd`, and `bmad-spec` hand off to `bmad` to set one first and only `bmad-prfaq` asks whether the work belongs to one (method help.md, each SKILL.md). It now says so. - Left — brain dump, then Fast or Coaching path, and pause and resume for the brief, PRD, and UX skills match their SKILL.md files. - Left — the brief: create, update, validate, right-sized to stakes, `brief-<slug>.md` plus `addendum.md` read by `bmad-prd`, and the suggestion of Deep Recon for deep market work match bmad-product-brief SKILL.md and analysis-skills.md. - Left — the PRFAQ: customer-first redirects, five stages, researched claims, the redirect to brainstorming or Forge Idea, `-H`, and the distillate for a PRD or spec match bmad-prfaq SKILL.md, references/verdict.md, and method help. - Left — the PRD: create, update, validate; Vision + Features or Journey-led on the Coaching path; FRs with stable IDs, NFRs, tech in `addendum.md`; length scaled to stakes; misroutes to brief or PRFAQ match bmad-prd SKILL.md. - Left — the spec: five fields, companions, rich input extracted, express or guided for sparse input, too thin goes to `bmad-prd`, single writer, stable capability IDs, assumptions and open questions reported, the one-time `bmad-ticket` hand-off match bmad-spec SKILL.md and planning-skills.md; the few-tens-of-thousands-of-tokens ceiling is not contradicted. - Left — dispatching each ticket to `bmad-build-auto` as `ticket <ref>` with no leaf file pulled matches bmad-build-auto step-01 and help/unattended-builds.md. Source conflict: skills/bmad-prd/SKILL.md — its misroute list sends agent or skill work to `bmad-workflow-builder` "if the BMad Builder module is installed"; skills/bmod-toolsmith/retired.toml lists `bmad-workflow-builder` as removed and Toolsmith replaces BMad Builder. ### docs/plan/design-ux-and-architecture.md - Fix — the spine section said attaching the spine to the spec is how "Build and the readiness gate find it"; no v7 skill or agent menu item runs a readiness gate (`bmad-check-implementation-readiness` is removed per skills/bmod-method/retired.toml). It now says Build and `bmad-ticket` find it, which reads the spine when slicing (bmad-ticket references/slice.md). - Fix — What Comes Next said the readiness gate checks that stories do not depend on unrecorded decisions; it now says `bmad-ticket` checks each breakdown before approval: nothing may contradict the architecture, and every decision two or more epics must adopt needs a home (references/validate.md, validate-checks.md). - Left — the need table and the conflicting-choices section are guidance the sources do not contradict. - Left — the spine: invariants only, seed owned by code, the one-test rule, stable `AD` IDs, input from spec, idea, long document, or codebase, Coaching by default with alternatives shown, Fast path with `[ASSUMPTION]`, a current starter for an open stack, epic spines inheriting the parent, and the offer to attach to the spec match bmad-architecture SKILL.md. - Left — seeding project context from the spine matches method help (`bmad-project-context` when the stack was just decided); `bmad-correct-course` for a significant change matches help. - Left — UX: `DESIGN.md` and `EXPERIENCE.md` winning over mocks, the facilitator never volunteering a vision, Fast, Coaching, and design-handoff modes, and UX leading, following, or standing alone match bmad-ux SKILL.md and planning-skills.md. Source conflict: skills/bmad-ux/SKILL.md and skills/bmad-architecture/SKILL.md — both route agent or skill requests to `bmad-workflow-builder` "if the BMad Builder module is installed", which skills/bmod-toolsmith/retired.toml lists as removed. Source conflict: skills/bmod-method/help/help.md — says John (`bmad-agent-pm`) and Winston (`bmad-agent-architect`) "check readiness", but neither agent's menu has a readiness item and no shipped skill performs one. ## docs: move the upgrade page to Reference and fix README and diagram headings - docs/reference/upgrade-from-v6.md: moved from docs/start/; add sidebar order 2 and repoint the Install BMad link to ../start/install-bmad.md. - docs-site/astro.config.mjs: remove the Upgrade from v6 item from the Start sidebar. - docs/start/install-bmad.md: repoint the upgrade link to ../reference/upgrade-from-v6.md. - docs/start/get-answers-about-bmad.md: remove the upgrade-page sentence from the tip. - docs/start/build-your-first-change.md: remove the upgrade-page sentence from the intro. - README.md: drop the Toolsmith row from the ecosystem table and mention Toolsmith in the BMad Method row. - docs-site/src/diagrams/planning-skills.svg: retitle the second and third columns PLANNING: WHAT and PLANNING: HOW. Decision: the upgrade page lives in Reference, and the install page is the only page that links to it. A Start sidebar item is too prominent for an upgrade guide. Decision: the two planning columns are headed PLANNING: WHAT and PLANNING: HOW, with their subtitles unchanged. The alt text in choose-a-planning-path.md and the SVG's desc already describe the columns as planning what to build and planning how, so neither changed. ## docs: audit the build, review, and walkthrough pages and diagrams against v7 ### docs/build/build-a-change.md - Fix — step 4 said the route follows "three facts about the settled design: intent gaps, irreversible actions, and footprint"; no source names those facts. `route_selection` picks by estimated size, 100 changed lines or fewer going one-shot (bmad-build customize.toml), and both routes put intent gaps to you before implementing (step-02-plan.md Open Questions, step-oneshot.md). It now says the route follows estimated size, with no approval stop on the light path, and that intent gaps become open questions on either path. - Fix — step 5 said the build reviews "with independent reviewers"; the default `quick` review runs one lens (customize.toml `review = "quick"`, review-choices.md). It now says "one or more independent reviewers". - Fix — step 5 said a weak plan or goal always sends the run back to that layer; only the full route loops back on bad_plan and intent_gap (step-04-review.md). step-oneshot.md HALTs for a finding whose fix is not simple. A sentence now says so. - Fix — What You Get put a ticket's plan beside the epic's `tickets.toml`; a backlog ticket's plan sits in `backlog/` (tools/ticket-tree-rules.md, implementation-skills.md). The bullet now names it. - Fix — Deferred Work said several goals in one request are written to `deferred-work.md`; step-01 asks first and writes them only when you choose Split. It now says "and you choose to split them". - Fix — the skills table's `bmad-correct-course` cell said "Updated plan or re-routing"; it drafts a change proposal and does not apply edits (implementation-skills.md). It now says "Change proposal with drafted edits". - Fix — the `bmad-code-review` cell said "Findings + applied patches"; patches are applied only if you choose (step-04-present.md, validation-skills.md). It now says "Findings + the patches you choose to apply". - Left — intro, Size the Work (one goal, about 500 lines not counting tests, fresh chat), and the `build-run.svg` embed and alt text "The bmad-build run", which still names what the diagram shows. - Left — step 2: free text, an issue, a file, a ticket ref `<epic id>.<entry id>`, file, or title, and the no-argument flow (offer unfinished plans, then the next ready ticket, otherwise ask) match step-01 and tickets.py REF_HELP. The `intent-checkout.md` example is any file handed as intent, which step-01 accepts. - Left — step 3: investigate before asking, no interview up front, open questions on the finished design (step-01 RULES, step-02 item 2). - Left — step 6: short summary and the PR, walkthrough, or another-change offer (step-05-present.md); never pushes. - Left — the deferred-work location, When to Plan First, the bmad-build-auto pointer, the remaining table rows, and the "Why Does This Take So Long?" section, whose one-shot route and skip-review options are `oneshot` and `none` in SKILL.md. - Left — headings unchanged; no page links into this one by anchor. ### docs/build/review-a-change.md - Fix — triage was said to dismiss "unsubstantiated claims"; an unverified claim is rejected only when it would be low if true, and is otherwise deferred marked unverified (bmad-code-review step-03-triage.md). It now dismisses "unverified claims that would be minor even if true". - Fix — "Defer is a real pre-existing issue that is not this change" left out the unverified medium or high claims that also route to defer (step-03-triage.md, review-choices.md). It now adds "or a serious claim triage could not verify". - Fix — Your platform said that without subagents the lenses "fall back to the main session"; step-02-review.md writes each lens's prompt to a file and HALTs for you to run it elsewhere and paste back the findings. The paragraph now says so. - Left — the intro on re-handing `bmad-build` its `built` plan, which goes straight to review, and a `done` plan becoming context (bmad-build step-01, review-choices.md). The third-pass advice matches help. - Left — Run `bmad-code-review`: targets, offering tickets in review, diffing from `baseline_revision`, plan files, no-plan mode reclassifying decision-needed to patch or defer, the diff file, and the confirmation checkpoint all match step-01-gather-context.md and step-03-triage.md. The intent-alignment lens's `when` gate backs "only if it is told what the claims are". - Left — What a Run Does: parallel layers, verify, severity, routing, the dated `## Code Review` block or chat-only listing, user-chosen patches, and status never changed (step-04-present.md). - Left — Choose the Depth: `bmad-build` and `bmad-build-auto` default `quick` and `bmad-code-review` defaults `thorough` (each customize.toml); `bmad-customize` changes the default (review-choices.md). - Left — Customize the Lenses and the `/code-review` comparison: lenses can be added, replaced, disabled with an empty instruction, or run elsewhere (customize.toml lens comments). - Left — headings unchanged; `#choose-the-depth`, linked from autonomous-development-loops.md, is intact. ### docs/build/walk-through-a-change.md - Left — the intro and the human-review note match bmad-walkthrough workflow.md: one block at a time, done only when you say so. - Left — When to Use It: invoked by name (SKILL.md description "Use when invoked by name"), for a commit, PR, file, or directory. - Left — How it runs: orientation from plan or spec, PR description, and commits (step-01); narrative blocks intent, broad strokes, slices by concern, periphery, with the log in `walkthrough-<slug>/` under the initiative or output folder (workflow.md Block shapes, step-02); a link and one to three moves per block (step-03). - Left — the six moves and Formal review preferring `bmad-code-review` (step-03 Moves); What It Is Not: no severity, no verdict (review-choices.md). - Left — no diagram embedded; see walkthrough-run.svg below. ### docs-site/src/diagrams/build-run.svg - Fix — a "Fits AC?" gate sat between Implement and Review; step-03-implement.md says "Acceptance criteria are judged at review, not here." The gate is removed, and everything below it moves up. - Fix — an "interview" arrow from you into Clarify and route; step-01 says "Do not conduct an intent interview here", and gaps become open questions in planning (step-02 item 6, step-oneshot.md). The person now feeds Plan, labelled "open questions". - Fix — the one-shot bypass left Clarify and route and skipped Plan; one-shot still investigates and writes a minimal plan in step-02, skipping only approval. The bypass now leaves Plan and skips Approved plan, labelled "one-shot". - Fix — "plan review / optional" at Approved plan; on the full route Checkpoint 1 HALTs for approval every time (step-02). It now reads "you approve / the plan". - Fix — intent_gap returned to Clarify and route; step-04-review.md resolves it with you, then re-runs from step-02-plan.md. It now returns to Plan beside bad_plan. - Fix — "deferred_work.md"; the file is `deferred-work.md` (step-04-review.md). - Fix — the lens panel showed three lenses. The thorough set is four, including Intent Alignment Auditor, and the default quick set is one Quick lens (customize.toml, review-choices.md). The panel now shows Quick as the default and the four thorough lenses. - Fix — lens names "Edge Cases Hunter" and "Verification Gap Finder"; customize.toml names them "Edge Case Hunter" and "Verification Gap Reviewer". - Fix — Blind Hunter's "find any 10 things to fix"; its floor scales with diff size, min(floor(sqrt(kB) + 1), 10) (customize.toml). It now reads "bare diff: find things to fix". - Fix — the title said review can "void" the work; reject discards a finding, not the work (step-04 Classify). The title now describes the redrawn flow and says review can reject a finding. - Left — patch looping on Review, reject to Void, defer to the file, bad_plan back to Plan, Present, Result, and "you review the result" match step-04 and step-05-present.md. The loopbacks are the full route's; step-oneshot.md's patch, HALT, defer triage has no separate drawing. - Left — Edge Case Hunter "find forgotten corner cases" and Verification Gap Reviewer "is this covered by tests?" match review-prompts/edge-case-hunter.md and verification-gap.md. - Left — geometry and classes only, no colours; xmllint parses it, and no README exports it. ### docs-site/src/diagrams/walkthrough-run.svg - Fix — removed, never embedded. It drew Orientation, Walkthrough, Detail Pass, Testing, and Wrap-Up, with "Surface area stats" and Approve / Rework / Discuss outcomes. bmad-walkthrough runs Orientation, Create review narrative, then Walkthrough block by block; Test and Drive are moves picked per block, and Wrap-up proposes a follow-through and waits for a yes (step-01 to step-03). It has no detail-pass or testing stage, no surface stats, and gives no verdict. Fixing that means drawing a new diagram, not relabelling this one, and the page's numbered list already shows the three steps. Decision: walkthrough-run.svg is removed rather than embedded, because its flow cannot be made true to bmad-walkthrough by relabelling. ## docs: audit the ticketing and organization pages against v7 ### docs/plan/break-work-into-stories-and-track-it.md - Fix — Build an Entry said build reads "an existing refined leaf file"; it reads the story file whenever one was pulled, refined or not (tools/ticket-tree-rules.md, help/ticketing-setup.md Hand-off). It now says "the leaf file when one was pulled". - Fix — "Its numeric `ticket` joins the entry"; an id can be letters and digits such as `6a` (CHANGELOG Unreleased, bmad-ticket SKILL.md The ticket tree). It now says "Its `ticket`, the entry's id, joins the entry". - Fix — Correct Course said the skill requires a PRD and sent spec work without a PRD to `bmad-spec`; it needs a PRD or a spec and halts only with neither, and `bmad-spec` is for a change that touches only the spec (bmad-correct-course SKILL.md Missing documents, help/implementation-skills.md). It now says so. - Fix — Correct Course said the proposal lands in the output folder when no initiative is active; the skill hands off to `bmad` to set one first and writes only `{output_folder}/{active_initiative}/change-<slug>/change-<slug>.md` (bmad-correct-course SKILL.md Step 4 and Paths). It now says so. - Left — the intro (intent, a spec, or a PRD; one small story or bug straight to Build) matches bmad-ticket Intake. - Left — Plan the Work: initiative sliced into epic envelopes that record the parent requirement ids they own and Done when, inception into ordered stories and bugs with coverage, `after`, and `verify`, approval before writing, and standalone tickets in `backlog/` match references/slice.md and ticket.md. - Left — plan beside `tickets.toml` as `story-<slug>-plan.md` for a story, backlog plan using the file stem, status and `baseline_revision` in the plan (tools/ticket-tree-rules.md); explicit one-ticket dispatch to `bmad-build-auto` that never picks work (help/unattended-builds.md). - Left — Track Progress: `next` and `status`, `built` shown as review, done by the user or an orchestrator, tracker status kept apart from build status (references/board.md Status); keeping completed plans (help/artifact-lifetime.md). - Left — Review and Close: dated `Code Review` block, status never changed, retrospective by folder, id, or slug writing in the epic folder, closure through `bmad-ticket` (tools/ticket-tree-rules.md, bmad-retrospective workflow.md). - Left — Correct Course reads no ticket tree and hands its edits to the owning skills and `bmad-ticket` (help/implementation-skills.md). The `#correct-course` heading, linked from build-a-change.md and reference/skills-and-agents.md, is unchanged. ### docs/plan/set-up-the-ticket-tree.md - Fix — the layout comment and Use `bmad-ticket` said a story gets its own file only when refined or published; reviewing a story pulls its file too (references/ticket.md Reviewing, help/ticketing-setup.md, the page's own "Review the stories" row). Both now include reviewing. - Fix — "By default the last entry is a 'Refactor sweep' story"; the sweep is proposed only for an epic of more than three entries, and a closing end-to-end suite can follow it (references/slice.md). It now says an epic of more than three entries closes with one by default. - Fix — Hand a Story to Build said build reads the story file "when you refined one"; it reads it whenever the story has one (tools/ticket-tree-rules.md). It now says "when it has one". - Fix — marking done on the repo store was "an edit to the plan that you commit with your work"; `bmad-ticket` runs `tickets.py mark` and then makes the commit its `write` verb describes (references/board.md Status, config/repo-ticketing.toml), and in a workspace the plan is in the store, not the code repo. It now says the skill commits it. - Fix — gap filled: Choose where the store lives gave no advice for the code repos in a workspace; help/monorepo-and-polyrepo.md recommends a bare clone per project with a worktree per branch. One sentence now says so. - Left — the install command and prerequisites match docs/start/install-bmad.md; `bmod-core-tools` and `bmod-method` are directories under `skills/`. - Left — store as the output folder, `_bmad-output` by default; `output_folder` under `[core]` in `_bmad/custom/config.toml`; `active_initiative` under `[core]` in `_bmad/custom/config.user.toml`; `bmad` showing, switching, creating, and clearing it (CHANGELOG Unreleased, bmad-ticket SKILL.md activation). No `root` key is named. - Left — the workspace layout, its own `git init`, and the AGENTS.md tip match help/monorepo-and-polyrepo.md and help/artifact-lifetime.md. - Left — `bmad migrate method` moving planning documents, `epics.md`, `sprint-status.yaml`, and stories behind an approved plan (skills/bmod-method/migration-1.toml, skills/bmad/references/migrate.md); the copy mapping and `ux-<slug>/` holding `DESIGN.md`, `EXPERIENCE.md`, and a short `ux-<slug>.md` (bmad-ux SKILL.md Create). - Left — `_bmad/custom/ticketing-store-config.toml` holding only the project's keys over the starter, the six stores and what each publishes as, setup offering connect, labels or fields, and a test ticket, and nothing syncing on its own (references/store-setup.md, config/*-ticketing.toml, help/ticketing-setup.md). - Left — three levels, a spec folder inside the container, `CAP-N` coverage, the say-this table, `tickets.toml` fields, `unknown`, spikes on request, entries built with no file, and the entry keeping `id`, `type`, `title`, `after`, and `hitl` after a pull (bmad-ticket SKILL.md, references/slice.md, ticket.md, assets/tickets-template.toml); `next` groups ready to refine, ready to start, in progress, and blocked (scripts/tickets.py). - Left — How epics are cut: ownership or deployment boundary, touch points, `_bmad/custom/bmad-ticket.toml` for the team's rule, shared decisions to `bmad-architecture` or hitl stories in the opening epic, `Source conflict:` lines (references/slice.md). - Left — the Refining is optional note, `built` and done, start on a tracker, and `tracker_status` never steering the build (references/board.md, help/working-in-an-organization.md); Tell Us What You Find matches help/ticketing-setup.md Feedback. - Left — headings unchanged; no page links into this one by anchor. ### docs/plan/plan-inside-an-organization.md - Fix — Who Owns What gave "Whoever tracks the whole" ownership of plan statuses; `bmad-build` and `bmad-build-auto` write every status up to `built`, and only `done` is the user's or an orchestrator's through `bmad-ticket` (references/board.md Status, tools/ticket-tree-rules.md). The cell now reads "The ticket tree and marking tickets done". - Fix — "An epic is a handful of Build sessions, usually a day's work for one person"; eight to twelve stories, each one agent session, is typical for an epic with one owner (references/slice.md Epic into stories). It now says "typically eight to twelve Build sessions, usually one person's work". - Left — when to take the full path, the scaled-down route, and the PRD as the owned document match help/working-in-an-organization.md; `bmad-ux` in `ux-<slug>/`, the spine, one spec per epic, and `bmad-ticket` tracking joined plans match planning-skills help. - Left — Bring the Documents You Have: validate, create with `[ASSUMPTION]` tags, Update mode instead of hand edits, design and architecture starting from what exists, tracker status mirrored and never steering a build (help/working-in-an-organization.md, references/board.md). - Left — the remaining owner rows: the help table gives `bmad-ticket` to whoever tracks the whole and the epic's stories to its engineer, which the page's `tickets.toml` and Build per story restate. - Left — the five sign-off moments, what each blocks, and `-H` on PRFAQ and Retrospective match the help's table; the retrospective judges the epic against its own Done when (bmad-retrospective workflow.md). - Left — Several Epics at Once and When Requirements Change: epic spines inheriting the parent, `bmad-prd` update surfacing conflicts, stable capability ids, `bmad-spec` naming stories that no longer match, existing plans keeping status, and `bmad-correct-course` for a plan-threatening change match the help. - Left — headings unchanged; no page links into this one by anchor. ## docs: audit the autonomous-loop, epic-closing, and testing pages against v7 ### docs/build/autonomous-development-loops.md - Fix — Context Inputs listed `_bmad/config.user.toml`; v7 reads `_bmad/config.toml`, `_bmad/custom/config.toml`, and `_bmad/custom/config.user.toml` (skills/bmad/scripts/config_utils.py load_central_config), and setup.py lists `_bmad/config.user.toml` as a legacy leftover. It now names the two `_bmad/custom/` files. - Fix — On `blocked` said `mark` creates the plan "with only that frontmatter" (status and the blocked fields); `tickets.py mark` also writes `title` and `ticket` (cmd_mark). It now says it creates a plan that holds only frontmatter. - Left — one run clarifies, plans, implements, and reviews one intent or ticket, never picks or advances to another ticket, and leaves backlog policy to a human or orchestrator: matches workflow.md, step-01, and help/unattended-builds.md. `bmad-loop` is presented as an external orchestrator with its repository link, and the note that it does not dispatch from the tree yet matches help. - Left — `quick` is the default review, overridable with `thorough` in the invocation or in `_bmad/custom/bmad-build-auto.toml` (customize.toml `review = "quick"`, SKILL.md `--set workflow.review`, render_skill.py override layers); the `#choose-the-depth` link resolves. - Left — `no subagents`, the clean tree, writable metadata, and the branch judged against the epic for a ticket match workflow.md Subagents and step-01 item 3. - Left — input shapes (a ticket named as a ticket or a ticket file, a bare ref not taken as one, free text, an intent file, a plan file), `tickets.py find`, `ticket not resolved`, never writing a ticket file or running `pull`, and reading same-epic prerequisite plans match step-01. `tickets.py` at `_bmad/method/scripts/` installed by `bmad-ticket` matches its bmod.toml and tools/ticket-tree-rules.md; `mark` refusing on a tracker store matches cmd_mark. - Left — `plan_checkpoint` and `done_checkpoint` belong to the orchestrator, `refined` is on find's row, and `Halt after planning.` stops at `ready-for-dev`: tickets.py docstring and public(), bmad-ticket references/board.md, step-02 gate. - Left — the resume table matches step-01's routing; `dropped` is not in it, but the table does not claim to cover it. - Left — `tickets.py next`, `ready_to_start` holding tickets whose prerequisites are done or in review, and `status` match tickets.py classify and HELP. - Left — Context Inputs' customization layers, empty `persistent_facts`, and the ticket and non-ticket planning documents read match customize.toml and step-01 item 1. - Left — the Plan Status table's statuses and board states match tickets.py STATUSES and STATE_OF; Build Auto never marks `done`, a follow-up pass on a `done` plan keeps it `done` (step-04 Finalize). - Left — deferred item fields, the maybe-false `(unverified)` severity, and the medium-or-worse rule match step-04 Classify and the defer shape. - Left — `ready-for-dev` as a halt outcome and its resume at implementation match step-02 and step-01. - Left — On `built`: final status, the Auto Run Result contents, `baseline_revision` with `NO_VCS`, `risk` never below the ticket's, `deferred`, commit without push, and a clean tree match step-03, step-04 Finalize, and plan-template.md. "`followup_review_recommended` true if LLM decided another pass seems worthwhile" matches the plan template's own comment; step-04 has the model compute it from the patched entries and a named risk. - Left — On `blocked`: `mark <ref> blocked --blocked`, details under `## Auto Run Result`, `blocked plan supplied` writing nothing, the fallback for a plan path or `mark` failure, every listed blocking condition, retry through `mark <ref> <status>` clearing the blocked fields, and the intent-gap patch saved beside the plan then reverted match workflow.md HALT, step-01 through step-04, and cmd_mark. - Left — plan path `<type>-<slug>-plan.md` from `find` (plan_path), `ticket` as the entry id or the story file's stem, `plan-<slug>.md` in `initiative_folder` for other work, the plan's sections, and the `bmad-build-auto-result-<slug-or-timestamp>.md` fallback in `initiative_folder` match step-01, plan-template.md, workflow.md, and render_skill.py `_initiative_folder`. - Left — Orchestrator Responsibilities, including commit ranges between consecutive `baseline_revision` values, match the plan fields and the retrospective's evidence-gathering ranges. Source conflict: skills/bmod-method/help/review-choices.md — under "Review depth in `bmad-build` and `bmad-build-auto`" says review asks the user when the intent cannot settle a finding and logs pre-existing issues to `deferred-work.md`; bmad-build-auto step-04 halts `blocked` with `intent gap` and records deferred findings in the plan's `deferred` frontmatter. Source conflict: skills/bmod-method/help/unattended-builds.md — says `followup_review_recommended` is true when review fixed a high finding or two or more medium ones; bmad-build-auto step-04 sets it on a follow-up pass only for a patched high, and only when a specific unverified risk can be named. ### docs/build/finish-an-epic.md - Fix — What It Reads said the story file is read "only when the ticket was refined"; the retrospective reads `find`'s `story_file` whenever the ticket has one, which is any pulled ticket, reviewed, refined, or published (workflow.md Inputs, references/evidence-gathering.md). It now says when the ticket has one. - Fix — "only you mark a ticket done"; the user or an orchestrator marks it done with `tickets.py mark` (help/unattended-builds.md, bmad-build-auto docs). It now says only you, or an orchestrator. - Left — evidence over recollection, the aggregate defects, the `bmad-review` diff-scope pass weighting ticket seams, spec reconciliation, the end-to-end behavior check, previous-retro follow-through, and every finding needing a source match workflow.md Phases 1–2 and references/aggregate-views.md; the `#bmad-review` link resolves. - Left — inputs (`tickets.toml` build order via `status`, the epic file's Done when, the initiative's Requirements and `covers`, plan sections and `## Code Review` blocks, ranges between plan baselines, the previous retrospective) match workflow.md Inputs and evidence-gathering.md. - Left — finished means `built`, `done`, or `dropped`, and tickets still at `built` are listed: workflow.md and references/acceptance-verdict.md. - Left — `epic-<slug>-retrospective.md` in the epic folder as the only write, nothing marked done, the three verdict spellings in frontmatter, unfinished tickets forcing `rejected`, human override, and never silently accepted match references/retro-document.md and acceptance-verdict.md. - Left — action items and spec reconciliations proposed, not applied, match acceptance-verdict.md. - Left — invocation by folder, id, or slug, the offer of finished epics with no input, the default stop at report and verdict, opt-in team discussion through party mode, and `-H <epic>` match workflow.md Modes, Inputs, and Phase 3; the party-mode link resolves. ### docs/build/test-completed-work.md - Fix — the Setup row said the built-in skill is "Included with BMM", the v6 module name; v7 ships it in the BMad Method module (skills/bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests/bmod.toml `bmod-method`, docs/reference/skills-and-agents.md). It now says the BMad Method module. - Left — `bmad-testarch-automate`, `bmad-testarch-test-design`, `bmad-testarch-trace`, ATDD, test review, NFR, and gates are presented as skills of the separate TEA module, and the TEA documentation URL as its external site; claims about them are outside these sources. - Left — the run steps (detect the framework from dependencies and existing tests, suggest one when none, ask or auto-discover what to test, API status codes and response shape with happy path and one or two errors, E2E with semantic locators and visible outcomes, run and fix, summary with what is uncovered) match SKILL.md Steps 0–5 and checklist.md. - Left — tests under `tests/`, the summary at `test-summary-<slug>/test-summary-<slug>.md` in the initiative or output folder, and tests run once and made to pass match SKILL.md Paths, Step 4, and Output. - Left — generates tests only, review is `bmad-build` or `bmad-code-review`, and no complex fixtures match SKILL.md's role and Keep It Simple. - Left — Where It Fits: running it after one change, and the retrospective as a separate epic check against its spec, match help/validation-skills.md and bmad-retrospective workflow.md. The Add Modules link resolves; that page's own content is outside this audit. ## docs: rewrite the add-modules page for v7 module installation Epic decisions: Toolsmith replaces BMad Builder everywhere on the page, including the build-your-own section, which points at docs/toolsmith/toolsmith.md and says only what the toolsmith help confirms. The ecosystem modules (Creative Intelligence Suite, Game Dev Studio, Test Architect) keep a short entry linking their own documentation and lose their v6 install commands; their v7 install route is not known, so the page says nothing about it. Every command on the page appears verbatim in README.md, the bmad skill, or the modules help. ### docs/customize/add-modules.md - Fix — intro said modules are selected during `npx bmad-method install` and add to core and BMM; now a module is a set of skills plus a `bmod-<code>` record, installed with the Skills CLI and set up with `bmad setup`. - Fix — added "What a Module Adds": no installer, registry, or build step; setup questions, help, party mode, dependency offers, update checks (modules help). - Fix — "Official modules" listed code, npm package, and v6 feature lists for BMad Builder, CIS, GDS, and TEA; BMad Builder is gone (Toolsmith replaced it) and the other three are a short table linking their repositories. - Fix — "Install from a custom source" described the v6 interactive prompt, UNVERIFIED warning, URL/path input table, and `--custom-source`/`--modules` flags; now `npx skills add <owner>/<repo>` with the `bmod-<code>` record, and setup offering a missing record. - Fix — "How the installer finds modules" (marketplace.json discovery vs direct mode) dropped; v7 has no such modes. - Fix — "Develop a module locally" (local `--custom-source` path) dropped; build in the source repository instead (toolsmith help). - Fix — "What you get" showed `_bmad/<module>/` folders and `_config/manifest.yaml`; now "Set Up the Module" says where config answers and scripts go, and what `bmad status` reports. - Fix — "Update modules" described `--action quick-update` and `--action update`; now `bmad setup` updates with `npx skills update`, migrates customizations of renamed skills, offers retired-skill deletion and migrations, and plugin-installed modules update through the marketplace. - Fix — "Create your own module" pointed at BMad Builder and `bmad-module-builder`; now Toolsmith's Smithy, the four registration choices, extending the method with your own prefix, and contributing by pull request. - Fix — install messages from module authors are shown quoted and never followed as instructions, replacing the v6 UNVERIFIED notice. - Left — title, sidebar order, and the TEA link to Test Completed Work, which still compares the two generate skills. Source conflict: skills/bmod-core-tools/help/modules.md — its last paragraph names the BMad Builder module for authoring; CHANGELOG Unreleased says Toolsmith replaced it. The page follows the CHANGELOG. Source conflict: docs/reference/skills-and-agents.md — says modules add their skills under the `bmad-` prefix and links here; the toolsmith help says a user's module takes its own prefix and never a `bmad-` name. Gap: BMad Loop is listed in the README ecosystem table but has no entry in the page's ecosystem table; it would go there once its v7 install route is known. Gap: no source states a trust caution for third-party modules; one would go under "Install the Module's Skills". ## docs: audit the customize, team-adoption, and party pages against v7 ### docs/customize/customize-bmad.md - Fix — "What an agent is made of" said central config controls how `bmad-party-mode`, `bmad-retrospective`, and `bmad-advanced-elicitation` introduce an agent; `bmad-retrospective` reads no roster, and the roster readers are `bmad-party-mode`, `bmad-advanced-elicitation`, and `bmad-forge-idea` (help/party-mode.md, advanced-elicitation SKILL.md, forge-idea resolve_personas.py). A central `description` replaces the persona those skills voice, not an introduction line. It now says so. - Fix — the menu example replaced a shipped `CE` item on `bmad-agent-pm`; the PM menu has `PRD`, `CC`, and `TK` only (its customize.toml). The example now replaces `TK`. - Fix — "Override one rendered invocation" implied every skill's SKILL.md has a `render_skill.py` command; only `bmad-build`, `bmad-build-auto`, `bmad-code-review`, `bmad-retrospective`, and `bmad-walkthrough` do. It now names them. - Fix — Central configuration listed four files and four layers, including an installer-owned `_bmad/config.user.toml`; there are three: `_bmad/config.toml`, `_bmad/custom/config.toml`, `_bmad/custom/config.user.toml`, highest last (help/customization.md, config_utils.py). `bmad setup` writes user-scope answers to `_bmad/custom/config.user.toml`, so "the installer never touches `_bmad/custom/`" was false too. - Fix — "What lives where" credited scopes to a module's `module.yaml` and said `[agents.<code>]` holds every agent's descriptor from the module's `agents:` block; questions come from the `bmod-<code>` record, and `[agents.<code>]` tables are optional, adding a user's own agent or describing an installed one, whose name, title, and icon come from its skill and override (help/customization.md). It now says so. - Fix — "Editing rules" called two files installer-owned and regenerated on every install and said to re-run the installer; all three may be hand-edited and `bmad setup` never changes an existing value, so a change is an edit to the key in its file (help/customization.md, bmad references/setup.md). It now says so. - Fix — the rebrand example set `icon` under `[agents.bmad-agent-pm]`; an installed agent's icon does not come from central config (help/customization.md, roster.py). The `icon` line is gone and the text says the description replaces the shipped persona. - Fix — the fictional-agent example said the `team` field filters who a party invites; nothing reads `team` (resolve_party.py keeps only name, icon, title, persona, capabilities, model), and a central-config agent joins the default room. The `team` line is gone; the text says Kirk joins the default room and points to party members for a cast called on demand. - Fix — "Override an install setting" said the team value wins over each developer's own config; `_bmad/custom/config.user.toml` outranks `_bmad/custom/config.toml`. It now says the team value wins over `_bmad/config.toml` and the personal file still wins; the table row "Pin team-enforced install settings" is now "Pin team setup answers". - Fix — Gap fill: help names `resolve_config.py` for checking merged central config and the page had no way to do so; "Check what resolved" now gives the command. - Left — the guided path, two surfaces, and `bmad-customize` writing per-skill overrides only match bmad-customize SKILL.md. - Left — three per-skill layers, the four shape rules, no removal, read-only `agent.name`/`agent.title`, and the full-copy caution match help/customization.md. - Left — scalars, the four append arrays, `file:` facts with globs, prepend before and append after the greeting, `[[agent.menu]]` keyed by `code` with one of `skill` or `prompt` match bmad-agent-pm customize.toml and SKILL.md. - Left — workflow `[workflow]` surface, `skill:` facts, `on_complete` string or array, and the six-step activation order match bmad-product-brief SKILL.md and customize.toml. - Left — `review` on `bmad-build`/`bmad-build-auto` (`quick`) and `bmad-code-review` (`thorough`), with four thorough lenses, matches their customize.toml files. - Left — `--set`, `--overrides`, plain-text strings, and TOML for other types match render_skill.py. - Left — `resolve_customization.py` flags, root inference, the stderr warning, and the Python 3.11 note match the script; Troubleshooting matches help's checklist. - Left — `.claude/skills/` and the per-IDE note match list_customizable_skills.py; `[core] active_initiative` in `_bmad/custom/config.user.toml` matches core-tools help.md; both inbound anchors (#central-configuration, #troubleshooting) are kept. Source conflict: skills/bmod-core-tools/help/customization.md — says overriding `agent.name` and `agent.title` does nothing, yet its central-config section says an installed agent's name, title, and icon come from "its own skill and its override file", and roster.py reads `agent.name` from the merged override for the party roster. Source conflict: skills/bmod-core-tools/help/customization.md — names `team` as a detail to add to an installed agent under `[agents.<code>]`; bmad-party-mode's resolve_party.py drops it and no skill reads it. Source conflict: skills/bmad-party-mode/SKILL.md — calls resolve_config.py a "four-layer TOML merge"; help/customization.md and config_utils.py merge three. ### docs/customize/adopt-bmad-across-a-team.md - Fix — recipe 5 listed `bmad-retrospective` among roster-driven skills; it is now `bmad-advanced-elicitation` and `bmad-forge-idea` beside `bmad-party-mode`. - Fix — 5a said party mode introduces Mary with the new description; it now says the roster skills voice her with it in place of her shipped persona, and her name, title, and icon stay with her skill. - Fix — 5b keyed on a `team` value and said party mode filters by `team = "startrek"`; nothing reads `team`. The `team` lines are gone; the text says Spock and McCoy join the default room and links to building a party for a crew called on demand. - Fix — 5c pinned `[core] document_output_language`, which no v7 setup question or skill defines, and said the pin overrides each developer's own config; the key is gone and the text says the pin beats `_bmad/config.toml` while `_bmad/custom/config.user.toml` still wins. - Fix — 5c put personal settings (`user_name`, `communication_language`, `user_skill_level`) in `_bmad/config.user.toml`; that file does not exist and v7 setup asks none of those. It now says answers to user-scope questions stay in `_bmad/custom/config.user.toml`. - Left — the scope rule for picking a surface and the team/personal split match help/team-adoption.md. - Left — the tip (bmad-customize writes recipes 1–4 and 6, recipe 5 by hand) matches bmad-customize SKILL.md. - Left — recipe 1: `bmad-agent-dev` has `persistent_facts`, and its menu dispatches `bmad-build`, `bmad-code-review`, and `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests`. - Left — recipes 2–4: `persistent_facts` with `file:`, `on_complete` running once after output, and `brief_template = "assets/brief-template.md"` match bmad-product-brief customize.toml and SKILL.md. - Left — recipe 6: `bmad-prd` exposes `external_sources`, `external_handoffs`, `doc_standards` (default `skill:bmad-review lenses=structure,prose`, run in declared order within a document), `prd_template`, and `validation_checklist_template`. - Left — the IDE session-file section and layer table, the combining example (the Analyst's `CB` item dispatches `bmad-product-brief`), and Troubleshooting. `bmad-dev.toml` there is a deliberately wrong file name set against `bmad-agent-dev.toml`, not a skill name; `bmad-agent-<role>` on the customize page is a placeholder. ### docs/customize/run-multi-agent-discussions.md - Fix — Gap fill: the page never said modules bring their own parties (help/party-mode.md). It now names The Product Team from the method roster (`--party product-team`) and points to Add Modules for sharing a cast as a module. - Fix — "Both shipped parties ... start fresh" would now be ambiguous beside The Product Team, whose roster sets `memory = true`; Memory now names the Code Review Crew and the Anti-Consensus Club, and says The Product Team remembers. - Fix — Gap fill: help says how to wipe a party's memory; Memory now says to delete its folder under `{output_folder}/party-mode/memories/`. - Left — the start-a-party table (`--mode`, `--non-interactive`, `--party`, `--list-groups`, inline casts, create/edit routing, `/bmad-customize bmad-party-mode`) matches SKILL.md On Activation and How It Runs. - Left — the four modes, `session` default, Claude Code-only `agent-team`, the fallback chain, runtime `--mode` winning, and interactive by default match SKILL.md, customize.toml, and references/mode-agent-team.md. - Left — personas, scenes, the six party shapes, focus groups paired with `subagent`, and writing through bmad-customize match references/create-party.md; default party, mode, and house rules map to `default_party`, `party_mode`, and `persistent_facts`. - Left — the Code Review Crew and Anti-Consensus Club member tables, inactive by default, and the subagent recommendation match customize.toml. - Left — steering, room switching, summoning by name, memory behavior, saving new faces, and the keepsake path (`{workflow.output_dir}` = active initiative folder) match SKILL.md, references/party-memory.md, and customize.toml. Source conflict: skills/bmad-party-mode/SKILL.md — says a mode the harness cannot run falls back to `session`; references/mode-agent-team.md says `agent-team` falls back to `subagent` first, then `session`. ## docs: audit the existing-codebase and project-context pages against v7 ### docs/existing-codebases/start-in-an-existing-codebase.md - Fix — the `bmad-build` link sat inside a code span and rendered as literal markdown; it is now a link around the code-formatted name. - Fix — said `bmad` "runs at the end of every workflow to say what comes next"; workflows end with their own next-step offers or a suggestion to invoke `bmad` (bmad-build step-05-present.md, bmad-prd and bmad-architecture Close), so it now says to ask `bmad` again when a workflow ends. - Fix — called `bmad-document-project` "deprecated"; it is not under `skills/`, and help/project-context.md says it was removed and `bmad-project-context` replaces it. It now says the skill replaces v6's document-project workflow, which v7 removed. - Fix (gap) — help/preparing-a-repo-for-agents.md and the `bmad-walkthrough` and `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` steps of help/existing-codebase.md had no home in the docs. A new "Keep the Repository Fit for Agents" section covers cleanup first with tests in place, test generation for existing features, the walkthrough for unfamiliar code, refactoring after several stories and at each epic's end with the retrospective's drift findings, and small decision records pointed to from `AGENTS.md`. - Left — keeping the original greenfield PRD archived and out of reach matches help/preparing-a-repo-for-agents.md (the code is the best documentation; few documents during coding). - Left — the one-session, spec-plus-ticket epic, and project-sized paths match help/existing-codebase.md steps 4 and 5 and method help's after-a-skill-finishes table. - Left — Build looking at the code first and stopping only when investigation cannot settle intent matches bmad-build step-01 and step-02 (Open Questions). - Left — "Prepare Project Context, or Skip It": the small verified `AGENTS.md` block, skipping does not fail a Build, the same mistake every session until written down, and a later refresh or audit match help/existing-codebase.md and bmad-project-context SKILL.md. Skipping it when someone keeps the instructions current is advice the sources do not contradict. - Left — "Plan Around What Already Exists": PRD, optional UX, and architecture starting from the codebase match help/existing-codebase.md step 3. - Left — "Build Follows What It Finds": investigating, writing down what to reuse and what not to change, and following it match help/existing-codebase.md and bmad-build step-02 (Code Map). - Left — "Try It on a Known Tree First" describes Getting Deeper accurately. ### docs/existing-codebases/set-and-maintain-project-context.md - Fix — Step 1 showed `bmad-project-context` as a bash command; it is a skill, so the block is now a text block with `/bmad-project-context`, as the other tutorials invoke skills. - Fix — said everything outside the markers "is left unchanged, and no later run touches it"; SKILL.md step 5 and Adoption change text outside the markers through settled ledger entries (relocations, a `CLAUDE.md` reduced to `@AGENTS.md`) and proposed fixes to contradicting files, and refresh treats handwritten instructions outside the block as in adoption. It now says the splice touches nothing outside the markers and outside text changes only through a change you have seen and approved. - Fix — said a rule stays until what it is about is gone or you retire it; best-practices.md ground 2 and Maintain ("a check that lands deletes its line") also remove a rul…

Limit this promise to gaps found before implementation.

Line 101 says every intent gap is answered before implementation starts. But skills/bmad-build/step-oneshot.md:18-31 allows a gap to arise during coding; the run then stops and asks the human. State that gaps found during intent resolution are answered before implementation, and that coding-time gaps halt the run until clarified.

Suggested correction

- Either way, each intent gap (something you did not say that you would notice in the result) becomes an open question you answer before implementation starts. + Gaps found during intent resolution become open questions to answer before implementation starts. If implementation reveals a gap, the run stops and asks before it continues.

Clarify which shipped parties start fresh.

The Product Team is a module-provided group with memory = true, and named-group memory follows that flag. The party-mode help says shipped parties start fresh without distinguishing the two parties shipped with that skill from the Product Team. Clarify the scope in skills/bmod-core-tools/help/party-mode.md.

Suggested help update

-- The default room remembers unless memory is turned off. A saved party remembers only when its memory is turned on. Shipped parties start fresh each time. +- The default room remembers unless memory is turned off. A saved party remembers only when its memory is turned on.

Match the eligibility guidance to the migration check.

The migration definition in skills/bmod-method/migration-1.toml blocks migration only when an initiative-* folder holds a same-named main file. It also describes the evidence for treating a project as already on v7. This page says any initiative-* folder blocks migration, so readers with an unrelated or incomplete folder may incorrectly skip it. State the actual folder and v7 checks.
