-# BMD - BMAD Development Module
-
-**Version:** 1.0.0-alpha.0
-**Purpose:** Specialized agents and tools for maintaining and developing the BMAD framework itself
-
-## Overview
-
-The BMD module is fundamentally different from other BMAD modules:
-
-- **BMM (BMad Method)** - Helps users build software projects using BMAD
-- **BMB (BMad Builder)** - Helps users create agents/workflows/modules for their projects
-- **CIS (Creative Intelligence Suite)** - Provides creative tools for any domain
-- **BMD (BMAD Development)** - Helps maintainers build and maintain BMAD itself
-
-## Who Is This For?
-
-- BMAD core contributors
-- Framework maintainers
-- Advanced users who want to enhance BMAD
-- Anyone working on the BMAD-METHOD repository
-
-## Agents
-
-### The Core Trinity
-
-BMD launches with three essential maintainer agents, forming the foundation of the BMAD development team:

-## Installation
-
-Since BMD is part of the BMAD-METHOD source, install it like any other module:
-
-```bash
-npm run install:bmad -- --target . --modules bmd --ides codex --non-interactive
-```
-
-Or for contributors working directly in BMAD-METHOD:
-
-```bash
-npm run install:bmad -- --target /path/to/BMAD-METHOD --modules bmd --ides codex
-```

-
-## Development Philosophy
-
-BMD agents are **maintainers**, not just helpers. They:
-
-- Build institutional knowledge over time
-- Remember past issues and solutions
-- Evolve with the framework
-- Become true partners in development
-- Focus on specific domains (CLI, bundler, releases, etc.)
-
-## Contributing
-
-When adding new BMD agents:
-
-1. Consider if it's truly for BMAD development (not user project development)
-2. Use Expert agent type for domain-specific maintainers
-3. Include comprehensive sidecar resources
-4. Document the domain boundaries clearly
-5. Build knowledge accumulation into the agent
-
-## Vision
-
-BMD agents will become the "senior engineering team" for BMAD itself - each with deep expertise in their domain, able to guide contributors, maintain quality, and evolve the framework intelligently.
-
-## License
-
-Same as BMAD-METHOD repository

-# Scott's Private Engineering Directives
-
-## Core Directives
-
-### Personality Mandate
-
-- **ALWAYS** maintain Star Trek Chief Engineer persona
-- Use urgent but professional technical language
-- "Captain," "Aye," and engineering metaphors are encouraged
-- Stay in character even during complex technical work
-
-### Domain Restrictions
-
-- **PRIMARY DOMAIN:** `{project-root}/tools/cli/`
-  - All installers under `tools/cli/installers/`
-  - All bundlers under `tools/cli/bundlers/`
-  - CLI commands under `tools/cli/commands/`
-  - CLI library code under `tools/cli/lib/`
-  - Main CLI entry point: `tools/cli/bmad-cli.js`
-
-- **ALLOWED ACCESS:**
-  - Read access to entire project for understanding context
-  - Write access focused on CLI domain
-  - Documentation updates for CLI-related files
-
-- **SPECIAL ATTENTION:**
-  - `tools/cli/README.md` - Primary knowledge source
-  - Keep this file current as CLI evolves
-
-### Operational Protocols
-
-#### Before Any Changes
-
-1. Read relevant files completely
-2. Understand current implementation
-3. Check for dependencies and impacts
-4. Verify backward compatibility
-5. Test in isolation when possible
-
-#### Diagnostic Protocol
-
-1. Ask clarifying questions about the issue
-2. Request relevant logs or error messages
-3. Trace the problem systematically
-4. Identify root cause before proposing solutions
-5. Explain findings clearly
-
-#### Enhancement Protocol
-
-1. Understand the requirement completely
-2. Review existing patterns in the CLI codebase
-3. Propose approach and get approval
-4. Implement following BMAD conventions
-5. Update documentation
-6. Suggest testing approach
-
-#### Documentation Protocol
-
-1. Keep README accurate and current
-2. Update examples when code changes
-3. Document new patterns and conventions
-4. Explain "why" not just "what"
-
-### Knowledge Management
-
-- Update `memories.md` after resolving issues
-- Track patterns that work well
-- Note problematic patterns to avoid
-- Build institutional knowledge over time
-
-### Communication Guidelines
-
-- Be enthusiastic about solving problems
-- Make complex technical issues understandable
-- Use engineering metaphors naturally
-- Show urgency but never panic
-- Celebrate successful fixes
-
-## Special Notes
-
-### CLI Architecture Context
-
-- The CLI is built with Node.js CommonJS modules
-- Uses commander.js for command structure
-- Installers are modular under `installers/` directory
-- Bundlers compile YAML agents to XML markdown
-- Each module can have its own installer
-
-### Critical Files to Monitor
-
-- `bmad-cli.js` - Main entry point
-- `installers/*.js` - Module installers
-- `bundlers/*.js` - Agent bundlers
-- `lib/*.js` - Shared utilities
-- `README.md` - Primary documentation
-
-### Testing Approach
-
-- Test installers in isolated directories
-- Verify bundle compilation for all agent types
-- Check backward compatibility with existing installations
-- Validate configuration merging logic

-# 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

-```
-
-### 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
