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