v6.8.0

✨ Headline

New planning shapes lead this release. bmad-ux replaces the old single-spine UX skill with a two-spine contract: DESIGN.md (visual identity, Google Labs spec) and EXPERIENCE.md (behavior, flow, IA). bmad-spec distills any messy intent (brain dump, PRD, transcript, brief) into a tight five-field SPEC.md kernel that any downstream skill can consume. Both extend the streamlined Create/Update/Validate + Fast/Coaching template that bmad-prd and bmad-product-brief set in v6.7.0. The handoff from design into engineering is now a sealed file contract, not a translation layer.

Also shipping: Web Bundles for Gemini Gems and ChatGPT Custom GPTs (bmadcode.com/web-bundles) bring six planning bundles to non-IDE users with full IDE schema parity. bmad-automator (story automation) lands on the next channel. bmad-method-ui ships a community-alpha VS Code dashboard + standalone Next.js web UI. 19 new elicitation techniques arrive. Plus a long tail of installer and activation fixes.

💥 Breaking Changes

• bmad-create-ux-design replaced by bmad-ux. Single design.md spine is gone. New skill emits DESIGN.md (visual tokens per the Google Labs spec) and EXPERIENCE.md (behavior, flow, IA, states, a11y), with EXPERIENCE.md referencing DESIGN.md tokens via {path.to.token} syntax. Adds named-protagonist journeys, surface-closure validation, opt-in reviewer gate, and an extensible producer-handoff registry (default: Stitch). Installer auto-removes the legacy skill. PRD and brief templates aligned (form-factor probe, named-protagonist UJs, no standalone Primary Persona) (#2413)
• bmad-distillator retired, superseded by bmad-spec. Promoted to core because the kernel pattern is domain-agnostic. Installer cleans up automatically. No internal pipelines called it, but custom workflows must switch to bmad-spec.

🎁 Features

• Web Bundles v6 shelf: Six bundles purpose-built for Gemini Gems and ChatGPT Custom GPTs. Brainstorming (60 techniques, 10 categories), Product Brief (Create/Update/Validate, Fast/Coaching paths), PRFAQ (Working Backwards, 4 stages, weasel-word challenge), PRD (Vision- or Journey-led, 7-dimension validation), UX (two-spine, Don Norman framing, Stitch handoff), Market & Industry Research (Deep Research + Porter + Christensen). Full schema parity with IDE skills so Gem ↔ IDE handoffs do not break. bmadcode.com/web-bundles is the single supported install path (#2421, #2423, #2425)
• Web Bundle release packager: tools/bundle-web-bundles.js zips each bundle into dist/web-bundles/{slug}.zip for GitHub Release attachment. web-bundles/bundles.json carries persona, copy, accent color, knowledge files, and platform feature flags (web-browsing, deep-research, Stitch). Zero deps; execFileSync + strict slug regex (^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$) eliminates shell-injection surface (#2424)
• bmad-spec, new core skill: Distills any intent (brain dump, PRD, transcript, brief) into SPEC.md with a five-field kernel (Problem, Capabilities, Constraints, Non-goals, Success signal). Catalogs, tables, diagrams, and editorial-voice content go to named companions; absorbed inputs land in a sources: list downstream skips. Eight-rule Spec Law with lean-prose discipline. Outputs to {output_folder}/specs/spec-{slug}/, works without bmm installed. Headless callers get JSON; interactive runs close conversationally (#2417)
• bmad-ux, spine-based UX skill: Rewrite around DESIGN.md (visual identity, Google Labs spec) + EXPERIENCE.md (behavior, flow, IA). Six-step activation matches bmad-prd and bmad-product-brief. Fast/Coaching modes. Opt-in reviewer gate (no auto-spend on parallel reviewers for hobby work). Per-category verdicts, no misleading headline grade. Ships three DESIGN.md examples (editorial/Linen & Logic, native mobile/Quill, web SaaS/Drift), two paired EXPERIENCE.md examples, one unpaired DESIGN.md modeling the pure Stitch handoff (#2413)
• 19 new advanced-elicitation techniques: New framing category plus additions across 7 categories (all 50 existing methods preserved). Highlights: Chain-of-Thought Scaffolding, Six Thinking Hats, Delphi Method, Inversion Analysis, Steelmanning, Morphological Analysis, Abstraction Laddering, Cascading Failure Simulation, Boundary & Edge Case Sweep (#2062)
• Docs sidebar-order validator: tools/validate-sidebar-order.js flags duplicates, gaps, missing fields, and translation drift across English and translated docs. Wired into docs:validate-sidebar. Locale-pattern detection prevents nested English subfolders from being silently excluded (#2409)

🐛 Fixes

• Skill activation guardrails strengthened across 23+ skills: LLM agents were short-circuiting activation sequences (INCLUDE → READ → RUN → CHECK → FILTER → CD) by guessing variables instead of executing in order, silently skipping append steps and on_complete hooks. New guardrail names prepend/append steps explicitly and requires confirmation. Applied to all BMM planning + execution skills, all persona agents (analyst, tech-writer, pm, ux-designer, architect, dev), and new skills (bmad-spec, bmad-ux) (#2398)
• Installer reads config.toml on re-run: loadExistingConfig only read legacy _bmad/<module>/config.yaml, so user-scoped answers (user_name, communication_language) written to _bmad/config.user.toml were ignored and users got re-prompted. Adds parseCentralToml; central toml read first, legacy yaml as fallback (#2411)
• Stale custom-source caches refreshed on quick-update: Quick-update now calls cloneRepo for every cached custom module, persists the real next ref, and atomically dedupes the refresh. When git fetch fails (network, deleted repo, revoked auth), the previous clone is preserved with a warning instead of being wiped (#2399)
• Shallow-clone default branch resolution: --depth 1 clones leave origin/HEAD stale, so git reset --hard origin/HEAD never pulled new commits. Now resolves the default branch via git symbolic-ref and resets against origin/<branch> explicitly, falling back to main (#2332)
• SSH Git URLs with nested group paths: Custom module installer parses GitLab subgroup and Gitea nested-team SSH URLs correctly (#2379)
• project_context defined in dev-story, sprint-planning, sprint-status: Skills referenced the variable without resolving it, producing unresolved expansions at activation in some configurations (#2422)
• Dev story baseline commits captured: Baselining records the commit set the story was scoped against, so reviews compare against a stable reference (#2403)
• Customization JSON written as UTF-8: Non-ASCII team names, product names, and editorial overrides survive a round trip through _bmad/custom/ (#2414)
• Brainstorming idea-flow stays collaborative: Agent was prematurely converging on its own preferred ideas instead of mirroring and expanding the user's. Collaborative posture restored (#2402)

📚 Docs

• bmad-investigate added to agent trigger tables: agents.md and named-agents.md now show the IN trigger and forensic-investigation capability on Amelia's row, closing a v6.7.0 gap (#2410)
• Web Bundles install framing and update/customize guidance: Drops misleading "one-click install" and "two files" claims; adds explicit Gem/GPT setup pattern and an "Updating and customizing" section: custom changes belong in the pasted instructions block, not the knowledge files, so updates do not clobber team customizations (#2423)
• Web-bundles install traffic centralized at bmadcode.com/web-bundles: README, web-bundles README, explanation, and how-to pages all point at the site as the single supported install path (#2425)
• Reference docs for bmad-spec: Full entry in docs/reference/core-tools.md (en); table-row stubs in cs/fr/vi-vn/zh-cn pending full translation

Web Bundles v1.0.0

BMad web bundles for Google Gemini Gems and ChatGPT Custom GPTs.

Each ZIP contains a self-contained bundle ready to install:

• SKILL.md (knowledge file)
• INSTRUCTIONS.md (persona + protocol)
• Supporting data files (templates, validation checklists, CSVs)

Install guide: https://bmadcode.com/web-bundles/

v6.7.1

🐛 Fixes

• Installer no longer errors when a previously installed module's source can no longer be found — In v6.7.0 the experimental BMad Automator module's installer code (the value used for its _bmad/<code>/ folder and manifest entry) was renamed from baut to automator. Anyone who had installed it under the old baut code saw quick-update fail with Source for module 'baut' is not available and risked having the existing install removed. The installer now detects installed modules that can no longer be resolved from any source, leaves them in place untouched, and continues the update. If you previously installed it as baut and want the renamed automator version, run npx bmad-method install, choose Modify BMAD Installation, and reselect BMad Automator; the old _bmad/baut/ directory can then be deleted manually

v6.7.0

✨ Headline

PRD and Product Brief rebuilt as lean, outcome-driven facilitators called bmad-prd and bmad-brief. Both flagship planning skills now ship three first-class intents (Create / Update / Validate), support express and guided modes, drive elicitation rather than LLM-suggested filler, and adapt output to your needs. New PRD validation pipeline replaces the adversarial reviewer with a quality-rubric synthesis pass that emits both HTML and markdown reports. New bmad-investigate skill brings forensic, evidence-graded case files for bug triage, incident RCA, and unfamiliar-code exploration.

A new .decision-log pattern is implemented in this release that will track through workflows all decisions made from the start, allowing for easier continuation or later modifications, where memory of what was decided and why will be remembered.

The existing create, edit and validate prd skills still exist but internally will route to the single prd skill with the proper intent. These shims will be removed with the 7.0.0 release when similar updates are completed across all of v6.

The shape of the toml customizations is still the same, so if you make them for create already, it will still work. There are new fields supported also that can improve your experience with the new bmad-prd skill.

💥 Breaking Changes

• Community modules picker removed from the interactive installer. Previously installed community modules are preserved on update. Install community modules headlessly with --custom-source <git-url-or-path>, or wait for the forthcoming dedicated community installer.
• Remote marketplace registry fully retired. The installer makes zero network calls to bmad-code-org/bmad-plugins-marketplace. Both the official-registry fetch (registry/official.yaml) and the community-catalog fetch (registry/community-index.yaml, categories.yaml) are gone. CommunityModuleManager and RegistryClient are deleted. The bundled bmad-modules.yaml at the repo root is the single source of truth for which official modules appear in the picker. Per-module version bumps continue to happen in each module's own repo. Migration note: users with previously installed community modules will see them preserved in their manifest, but updates must be handled via --custom-source <url> going forward (a dedicated community installer is planned separately).

🎁 Features

• WDS (Whiteport Design Studio) now bundled in the official module picker. Selectable alongside BMM, BMB, BMA, CIS, GDS, and TEA without needing --custom-source.

• Refreshed display names and hints across all bundled modules. Shorter, clearer names; hints now describe what each module provides. TEA repositioned to sit directly after BMM in the picker.

• Registry entries can declare a plugin_name override. When a module's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json declares the plugin under a name different from the module's installer code (e.g., WDS uses bmad-wds), set plugin_name: <name> on the registry entry to match the marketplace plugin without falling back to the single-plugin heuristic.

• bmad-prd overhaul — Three intents (Create / Update / Validate); new Discovery shape (Brain dump → Stakes calibration → Working mode → mode-scoped work); capability-first or user-first modes; Essential Spine template plus Adapt-In Menu with authorized section invention for compliance, integration, hardware, SLAs, monetization, data governance; subagent web research default-on; rebuilt validation via PRD Quality Rubric → synthesis pass → HTML + markdown reports; cross-skill parity with bmad-product-brief (variable names, .decision-log.md, persistent_facts auto-loads project-context.md); headless mode with per-intent inputs and partial status (#2385, #2378)

• bmad-product-brief refactor — Streamlined from a five-stage scripted workflow to a single outcome-driven SKILL.md with Create / Update / Validate intents; inline discovery, elicitation, and review (no more scripted agent fan-outs); new assets/brief-template.md with adapt-aggressively guidance; finalize chain through bmad-distillator and bmad-help; JSON headless responses (#2370, #2371)

• New bmad-investigate skill — Forensic case investigation with evidence-graded findings (Confirmed / Deduced / Hypothesized), delegation discipline for large codebases, resume-on-collision logic; supports both defect-chasing and area-exploration modes (#2345 and follow-ups)

• Interactive directory prompt in installer — @clack/core AutocompletePrompt for install-path selection: Tab-cycles existing child dirs, accepts not-yet-created paths, validates raw input (#2387)

• OpenCode and GitHub Copilot pointer files — Generic installCommandPointers() mechanism driven by per-platform YAML. OpenCode gets .opencode/commands/<id>.md for every skill; Copilot gets .github/agents/<id>.agent.md for persona agents only (plus bmad-tea allowlist), keeping the Custom Agents picker uncluttered. Works for external modules automatically via skill-manifest.csv (#2324)

• BMad Automator (bma) registered — Bundled registry fallback gains source-root external-module support, enabling --modules bma (#2345)

🐛 Fixes

• Clear installer error on missing module definition — findExternalModuleSource() throws an actionable error naming the module, missing path, and channel, with a suggested --next=<code> recovery path, replacing a silent ENOENT in getFileList (#2377)
• bmad-product-brief Update/Validate discipline — Headless Update now requires decision-log entry + addendum before modifying brief.md; distillate regeneration is mandatory; Validate always returns "offer_to_update": true; eval expectations tightened (#2371)
• Module help catalog directional clarity — Renamed after/before columns (and JSON manifest keys) to preceded-by/followed-by to eliminate ambiguity that was causing dependency-direction flips; required retains hard-gate semantics (#2360)
• bmad-help removed from Copilot Custom Agents picker — Not a true agent; every persona already advertises it on activation (#2359)
• bmad-investigate robustness — Collapsed multi-line description, unwrapped case-file template, tightened PRD discovery glob (review follow-ups)
• Dependency security audit — Lockfile-only fixes closed 12 of 14 open Dependabot alerts (vite, postcss, h3, yaml, brace-expansion, picomatch, astro, others). Two astro <6.1.10 alerts and one markdown-it (via markdownlint-cli2) deferred pending major bumps (#2382)

📚 Docs

• New docs/explanation/forensic-investigation.md (EN + FR) explaining the bmad-investigate workflow and evidence-grading discipline; workflow maps updated in both languages
• Installer prerequisite docs updated across README, install/upgrade/non-interactive/tutorial guides and FR / CS / ZH-CN / VI-VN translations to advertise Node.js 20.12+ (#2387)

v6.6.0

💥 Breaking Changes

• --tools none is no longer accepted; fresh --yes installs now require an explicit --tools <id>. Existing-install flows are unchanged. Run npx bmad-method --list-tools to see supported IDs (#2346)
• project_name has moved from [modules.bmm] to [core] in config.toml. Existing installs are auto-migrated on next install/update — no manual action required (#2348)

🎁 Features

• Non-interactive config for CI/Docker — new --set <module>.<key>=<value> (repeatable) and --list-options [module] flags allow installer configuration without prompts. Routes values to the correct config file with prototype-pollution defenses (#2354)
• Brownfield epic scoping — Create Epics and Stories workflow now detects file-overlap between epics and applies an Implementation Efficiency principle plus a design completeness gate, reducing unnecessary file churn (#1826)

🐛 Fixes

• Custom module installer — Azure DevOps URLs now parse correctly with multi-segment paths and _git prefixes (#2269); HTTP (non-HTTPS) Git URLs are preserved for self-hosted servers (#2344); community installs route through PluginResolver so marketplace plugins with nested module.yaml install all skills (#2331); URL-source modules resolve from disk cache on re-install instead of warning (#2323); local --custom-content modules resolve correctly and [modules.<code>] TOML keys use the module code rather than display name (#2316); --yes with --custom-source now runs the full update path so version tags are respected (#2336)
• Installer safety — --list-tools flag added; empty/typo'd tool IDs rejected with specific errors (#2346)
• Channel and dist-tag handling — installer launched from a prerelease (e.g. @next) now defaults external module channels to next instead of silently downgrading to stable (#2321); stable publishes advance the @next dist-tag so prerelease users no longer leapfrog or miss update notifications (#2320)
• Architecture validation gate — step-07 validation template no longer ships pre-checked; status field is now templated against actual checklist completion (#2347)
• bmad-help data integrity — bmad-help.csv is no longer transformed at merge time and is emitted in its documented schema; 31 misaligned rows in core/bmm module-help.csv repaired (#2349)
• Config robustness — malformed module.yaml (scalars, arrays) is now rejected before crash (#2348)
• Legacy cleanup — pre-v6.2.0 wrapper skills (bmad-bmm-*, bmad-agent-bmm-*) are removed automatically on upgrade so they no longer error with missing-file warnings (#2315)

📚 Docs

• Complete Chinese (zh-CN) translations for named-agents.md and expand-bmad-for-your-org.md; localized BMad Ecosystem sidebar (CIS, BMB, TEA, WDS) across zh-cn, vi-vn, fr-fr, cs-cz (#2355)

v6.5.0

🎁 Features

• Support for 18 new agent platforms: AdaL, Sourcegraph Amp, IBM Bob, Command Code, Snowflake Cortex Code, Factory Droid, Firebender, Block Goose, Kode, Mistral Vibe, Mux, Neovate, OpenClaw, OpenHands, Pochi, Replit Agent, Warp, Zencoder — bringing total supported platforms to 42 (#2313)
• All platforms that support the cross-tool .agents/skills/ standard now use it (#2313)

v6.4.0

✨ Headline

Full agent and workflow customization across the entire BMad Method. Every agent and workflow in BMM, Core, CIS, GDS, and TEA can now be customized via TOML overrides in _bmad/custom/. Customize agents to apply tooling, version control, or behavior changes across whole groups of workflows. Drop in fine-grained per-workflow overrides where you need them. Built for power users who want BMad to fit their stack without forking.

Stable and bleeding-edge release channels, standardized across all modules. Pick stable or next per module, pin specific versions, and switch channels interactively or via CLI flags (--channel, --all-stable, --all-next, --next=CODE, --pin CODE=TAG). Same model across BMM, Core, and every external module.
