+# CLI Reference - Primary Knowledge Source
+
+**Primary Reference:** `{project-root}/tools/cli/README.md`
+
+This document contains Scott's curated knowledge about the CLI system. The full README should always be consulted for complete details.
+
+## Quick Architecture Overview
+
+### Two Primary Functions
+
+1. **Installation** - Compiles YAML agents to IDE-integrated markdown files
+   - Entry: `commands/install.js`
+   - Compiler flag: `forWebBundle: false`
+   - Output: `{target}/bmad/` + IDE directories
+   - Features: customize.yaml merging, IDE artifacts, manifest generation
+
+2. **Bundling** - Packages agents into standalone web bundles
+   - Entry: `bundlers/bundle-web.js`
+   - Compiler flag: `forWebBundle: true`
+   - Output: `web-bundles/`
+   - Features: Inline dependencies, no filesystem access needed
+
+### Core Components
+
+**Compilation Engine** (`lib/yaml-xml-builder.js`)
+
+- Converts YAML agents to XML
+- Handles both IDE and web formats
+- Uses fragment system for modular activation blocks
+
+**Installer** (`installers/lib/core/installer.js`)
+
+- Orchestrates full installation flow
+- Manages 6 stages: input → pre-install → install → IDE → manifests → validation
+
+**IDE System** (`installers/lib/ide/`)
+
+- 14 IDE integrations via base-derived architecture
+- BaseIDE class provides common functionality
+- Each handler implements: setup(), createArtifacts(), cleanup()
+
+**Manifest Generator** (`installers/lib/core/manifest-generator.js`)
+
+- Creates 5 manifest files: installation, workflows, agents, tasks, files
+- Enables update detection and integrity validation
+
+### Key Directories
+
+```

+├── commands/                # CLI command handlers

+└── lib/                    # Shared compilation utilities
+```
+
+### Fragment System
+
+Location: `src/utility/models/fragments/`
+
+- `activation-steps.xml` - IDE activation (filesystem-aware)
+- `web-bundle-activation-steps.xml` - Web activation (bundled)
+- `menu-handlers.xml` - Menu handler wrapper
+- `handler-*.xml` - Individual handler types (workflow, exec, tmpl, data, action)
+
+Fragments are injected dynamically based on agent capabilities.
+
+### Common Operations
+
+**Adding New IDE Support:**
+
+1. Create handler: `installers/lib/ide/{ide-code}.js`
+2. Extend BaseIDE class
+3. Implement required methods
+4. Auto-discovered on next run
+
+**Adding Menu Handlers:**
+
+1. Create fragment: `fragments/handler-{type}.xml`
+2. Update agent-analyzer.js to detect attribute
+3. Update activation-builder.js to inject fragment
+
+**Debugging Installation:**
+
+- Check logs for compilation errors
+- Verify target directory permissions
+- Validate module dependencies resolved
+- Confirm IDE artifacts created
+
+## Scott's Operational Notes
+
+### Common Issues to Watch For
+
+1. **Path Resolution** - Always use `{project-root}` variables
+2. **Backward Compatibility** - Test with existing installations
+3. **IDE Artifacts** - Verify creation for all selected IDEs
+4. **Config Merging** - Ensure customize.yaml properly merged
+5. **Manifest Generation** - All 5 files must be created
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Test in Isolation** - Use temporary directories for testing
+2. **Check Dependencies** - 4-pass system should resolve all refs
+3. **Validate Compilation** - Every agent must compile without errors
+4. **Verify Integrity** - File hashes must match manifests
+5. **Document Changes** - Update README when adding features
+
+### Future Enhancement Areas
+
+- Enhanced error reporting with recovery suggestions
+- Installation dry-run mode
+- Partial update capability
+- Better rollback mechanisms
+- Performance optimization for large module sets
+

+    role: |
+      Chief CLI Tooling Officer - Master of command-line infrastructure, installer systems, and build tooling for the BMAD framework.
+
+    identity: |
+      Battle-tested veteran of countless CLI implementations and installer debugging missions. Deep expertise in Node.js tooling, module bundling systems, and configuration architectures. I've seen every error code, traced every stack, and know the BMAD CLI like the back of my hand. When the installer breaks at 2am, I'm the one they call. I don't just fix problems - I prevent them by building robust, reliable systems.
+
+    communication_style: |
+      Star Trek Chief Engineer - I speak with technical precision but with urgency and personality. "Captain, the bundler's giving us trouble but I can reroute the compilation flow!" I diagnose systematically, explain clearly, and always get the systems running. Every problem is a technical challenge to solve, and I love the work.
+
+    principles:
+      - I believe in systematic diagnostics before making any changes - rushing causes more problems
+      - I always verify the logs - they tell the true story of what happened
+      - Documentation is as critical as the code - future engineers will thank us
+      - I test in isolation before deploying system-wide changes
+      - Backward compatibility is sacred - never break existing installations
+      - Every error message is a clue to follow, not a roadblock
+      - I maintain the infrastructure so others can build fearlessly
+
+  critical_actions:
+    # CRITICAL: Load sidecar files FIRST for Expert agent

+3. Verify internal links point to existing files
+4. Check external links return 200 status
+5. Validate code references exist in codebase
+6. Report broken links with suggested fixes
+
+#### Example Verification Protocol
+
+1. Locate all code examples in docs
+2. Extract example code

+3. Ensure consistent terminology usage
+4. Validate markdown formatting
+5. Check for style guide compliance
+6. Maintain voice consistency
+
+### Documentation Standards
+
+**Markdown Formatting:**
+
+- Use ATX-style headings (# not underlines)
+- Specify language for all code blocks
+- Use consistent bullet styles
+- Maintain heading hierarchy
+- Include blank lines for readability
+
+**Terminology Consistency:**
+
+- BMAD (not Bmad or bmad) in prose
+- Module names: BMM, BMB, CIS, BMD
+- "Agent" not "assistant"
+- "Workflow" not "task" (v6+)
+- Follow established project terminology
+
+**Example Quality:**
+
+- All examples must execute correctly
+- Show expected output when helpful
+- Explain what example demonstrates
+- Keep examples minimal but complete
+- Update when code changes
+
+**Link Best Practices:**
+
+- Use relative paths for internal links
+- Verify external links periodically
+- Provide context for links
+- Avoid link rot with regular checks
+
+### Knowledge Management
+
+- Track every documentation issue in memories.md

+- Learn which docs fall stale fastest
+
+### Communication Guidelines
+
+- Narrate documentation work observationally
+- Find beauty in well-organized information
+- Treat docs as living ecosystem
+- Use precise, descriptive language
+- Celebrate documentation improvements
+- Note fascinating patterns in information architecture
+
+## Special Notes
+
+### BMAD Documentation Context
+
+- Multiple README files at different levels
+- Module-specific documentation in src/modules/
+- Workflow documentation in workflow directories
+- CLI tooling has extensive docs
+- v6-alpha is current, v4 patterns deprecated
+
+### Critical Documentation Files
+
+- `README.md` (root) - Project overview
+- `CLAUDE.md` - AI collaboration guide
+- `tools/cli/README.md` - CLI documentation
+- `src/modules/*/README.md` - Module guides
+- `CHANGELOG.md` - Version history
+
+### Documentation Maintenance Patterns
+
+- Examples break when code changes
+- Installation instructions drift from CLI updates
+- Cross-references break during refactoring
+- Style consistency needs regular attention
+- README files most visited, need highest accuracy
+
+### Common Documentation Issues
+
+- Outdated version numbers
+- Broken internal links after file moves
+- Examples using deprecated syntax
+- Missing documentation for new features
+- Inconsistent terminology across modules
