-## Versioning (Semver)
-
-This project tracks three independent version numbers. All follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
-
-### Package Version (`package.json`)
-
-The npm package version. Bump on every publish.
-
-| Change | Bump | Example |
-|--------|------|---------|
-| Bug fix, typo in CLI | PATCH | 1.4.0 → 1.4.1 |
-| New command, new feature | MINOR | 1.4.0 → 1.5.0 |
-| Breaking API change | MAJOR | 1.4.0 → 2.0.0 |
-
-### Skill Version (`skills/<name>/skill.json`)
-
-Each skill has its own version. Bump when skill content changes.
-
-| Change | Bump | Example |
-|--------|------|---------|
-| Typo fix, minor wording | PATCH | 1.0.0 → 1.0.1 |
-| New instructions, new resources added | MINOR | 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 |
-| Breaking changes to skill behavior or structure | MAJOR | 1.0.0 → 2.0.0 |
-
-When you bump a skill version, the installer will detect the change and offer users an upgrade.
-
-### Agent Version (`lib/agents.js`)
-
-Each agent configuration has a version. Bump when the agent config changes.
-
-| Change | Bump | Example |
-|--------|------|---------|
-| Description update, path correction | PATCH | 1.0.0 → 1.0.1 |
-| New field added (e.g., resourceMap) | MINOR | 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 |
-| Path structure change that breaks existing installs | MAJOR | 1.0.0 → 2.0.0 |
-
-## Adding a New Skill
-
-1. Create the directory: `mkdir -p skills/my-skill`
-2. Create `skill.json` with `name`, `description`, `version` (start at `1.0.0`)
-3. Create `SKILL.md` — pure Markdown, no YAML frontmatter
-4. (Optional) Add `scripts/`, `references/`, `examples/`, `hooks/`, `assets/`
-5. (Optional) Create agent-specific templates: `claude-code.md`, `cline.md`, `generic.md`
-6. Verify: `node bin/cli.js list` — your skill should appear
-7. Test install: `node bin/cli.js install my-skill claude-code`
-8. Check the installed output in `.claude/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md`
-
-See [SKILLS_STRUCTURE.md](SKILLS_STRUCTURE.md) for full documentation.
-
-## Adding a New Agent
-
-1. Edit `lib/agents.js`
-2. Add a new entry to the `agents` array with all required fields:
-   - `id` — unique kebab-case identifier
-   - `name` — display name
-   - `version` — start at `1.0.0`
-   - `description` — brief description
-   - `getProjectPath()` — returns project-level skills path
-   - `getGlobalPath()` — returns global path (handle win32, darwin, linux)
-   - `fileExtension` — usually `.md`
-   - `template` — template ID (`generic`, `claude-code`, `cline`, or new)
-   - `resourceMap` — (optional) rename directories for this agent
-3. Test: `node bin/cli.js agents` — your agent should appear
-4. Test install: `node bin/cli.js install code-review my-agent`
-
-## Manifest System
-
-The installer writes `.ma-agents.json` into each agent's install directory to track what's installed. This enables upgrade detection, version comparison, and clean uninstalls.
-
-```json
-{
-  "manifestVersion": "1.0.0",
-  "agent": "claude-code",
-  "scope": "project",
-  "skills": {
-    "code-review": {
-      "version": "1.0.0",
-      "installedAt": "2026-02-17T12:34:56Z",
-      "updatedAt": "2026-02-17T12:34:56Z",
-      "installerVersion": "1.4.0",
-      "agentVersion": "1.0.0"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Do not edit manifests manually. Use `npx ma-agents status` to view and `npx ma-agents uninstall` to remove.
-

-
-## Config Resolution Chain
-
-All workflows follow this identical pattern:
-1. Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml`
-2. Resolve `planning_artifacts` and `implementation_artifacts` from config values
-3. Use `{planning_artifacts}/...` and `{implementation_artifacts}/...` for all path references
-
-**Multi-repo resolution:**
-- `planning_artifacts` = `{knowledgebase_path}/_bmad-output/planning-artifacts`
-- `implementation_artifacts` = `{sprint_management_path}/_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts`
-
-**Single-repo resolution (backward compatible):**
-- `planning_artifacts` = `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts`
-- `implementation_artifacts` = `_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts`
-
-## Source-of-Truth Precedence
-
-| File | Role | Authority |
-|------|------|-----------|
-| `_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` | Runtime source of truth | PRIMARY |
-| `_bmad-output/project-layout.yaml` | Agent discovery file | INFORMATIONAL |
-| `_bmad-output/project-context.md` | Agent constitutional doc | INSTRUCTIONAL |
-
-If these disagree, `_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` wins.
-
-## Backward Compatibility (NFR34)
-
-Single-repo mode writes:
-- `knowledgebase_path: "."` and `sprint_management_path: "."`
-- `planning_artifacts: "_bmad-output/planning-artifacts"`
-- `implementation_artifacts: "_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts"`
-
-These values are identical to the pre-Epic-16 default behavior. No workflow changes needed.
-
-## Path Accessibility
-
-Story 16.1 validates external paths at wizard time:
-- `fs.existsSync()` checks for local paths
-- `fs.statSync().isDirectory()` confirms it's a directory
-- Git clone validates remote paths
-- Non-existent paths generate warnings
-
-## Conclusion
-
-**No backlog items needed.** All 21 BMAD workflows already support config-driven path resolution through the `planning_artifacts` and `implementation_artifacts` config keys. Story 16.2's config write (updated during 16.4 validation) now also writes these derived fields, completing the end-to-end resolution chain.

-# Story 17.10: Rework generate-backlog Skill (Heavy Rework)
-
-Status: review
-
-## Story
-
-As a **Scrum Master**,
-I want the `generate-backlog` skill to populate the `backlog` section of the unified `sprint-status.yaml`,
-So that all unassigned stories and bugs are maintained in a single file rather than a separate `backlog.yaml`.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-1. **Given** the `generate-backlog` skill is invoked from ANY IDE agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code, Gemini, Copilot, Kilocode, etc.) OR from a BMAD workflow,
-   **When** it parses the epics document and bug files,
-   **Then** it writes all unassigned stories and bugs to the `backlog` section of `sprint-status.yaml` in priority order,
-   **And** it updates the `epics` section with current epic metadata (status, retrospective),
-   **And** it does NOT touch the `sprints` section -- sprint-assigned items are preserved.
-
-2. **Given** items already exist in the `sprints` section of `sprint-status.yaml`,
-   **When** the backlog is regenerated,
-   **Then** items currently assigned to any sprint are NOT duplicated in the `backlog` section (single-location invariant),
-   **And** new stories from `epics.md` that don't exist anywhere in `sprint-status.yaml` are added to `backlog`.
-
-3. **Given** a story exists in `backlog` but has been removed from `epics.md`,
-   **When** the backlog is regenerated,
-   **Then** the orphaned item is flagged with a warning but NOT automatically removed (human review required).
-
-4. **Given** bugs exist as standalone story files (FR64),
-   **When** the backlog is regenerated,
-   **Then** bugs are included in the `backlog` section with `type: bug` and `epic: null`,
-   **And** bug-specific fields (`severity`) are preserved.
-
-5. **Given** items have been archived in the `done/` folder,
-   **When** the backlog is regenerated,
-   **Then** archived items are NOT reintroduced into the `backlog` section.
-
-6. **Given** the skill source files exist in BOTH deployment pipelines (IDE skill + BMAD extension),
-   **When** the ma-agents installer is run,
-   **Then** the IDE skill is deployed to all agent directories via `lib/installer.js` (`performInstall`),
-   **And** the BMAD extension skill is deployed via `lib/bmad.js` to `_bmad/extensions/`,
-   **And** the installed copies are byte-identical to their source (minus frontmatter injection by the installer).
-
-## Tasks / Subtasks
-
-### Task 1: Create the IDE skill source files (AC: 1, 6)
-
-- [x] 1.1 Create `skills/generate-backlog/skill.json` with metadata:
-  ```json
-  {
-    "name": "generate-backlog",
-    "version": "1.0.0",
-    "description": "Generate or refresh the backlog section of sprint-status.yaml from epics and bug stories, preserving existing priorities and sprint assignments",
-    "category": "workflow",
-    "tags": ["backlog", "sprint-management", "epics", "bugs"]
-  }
-  ```
-  Note: `always_load` is intentionally omitted (defaults to false) -- this skill is invoked on demand, not loaded for every task.
-
-- [x] 1.2 Create `skills/generate-backlog/SKILL.md` with the complete skill workflow (see Task 3 for content specification). This is the canonical skill content that the installer deploys to all IDE agents.
-
-### Task 2: Create the BMAD extension skill source files (AC: 1, 6)
-
-- [x] 2.1 Create `lib/bmad-extension/skills/generate-backlog/SKILL.md` -- this is a SEPARATE file from the IDE skill SKILL.md. The BMAD extension version is authored for the BMAD Scrum Master agent (`bmm-sm`) context and may have BMAD-specific phrasing (e.g., referencing `_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` for path resolution). The core workflow logic MUST be functionally identical to the IDE version.
-
-- [x] 2.2 Create `lib/bmad-extension/skills/generate-backlog/bmad-skill-manifest.yaml`:
-  ```yaml
-  type: skill
-  name: generate-backlog
-  module: ma-skills
-  ```
-
-- [x] 2.3 Register the skill in `lib/bmad-extension/module-help.csv` by adding a row:
-  ```csv
-  ma-skills,4-implementation,Generate Backlog,generate-backlog,,skill:generate-backlog,generate-backlog,false,bmm-sm,,"Generate or refresh the backlog section of sprint-status.yaml from epics and bug stories.",_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts,"backlog",
-  ```
-  The `agent` column is `bmm-sm` (Scrum Master) because backlog generation is a Scrum Master responsibility.
-
-### Task 3: Implement the skill workflow content (AC: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
-
-The SKILL.md content (for both the IDE and BMAD extension versions) must implement the following workflow:
-
-- [x] 3.1 **Step 1 -- Load existing state:** Read `sprint-status.yaml` (if it exists). Parse the `sprints` section to build a set of all item IDs already assigned to sprints (`sprint_item_ids`). Parse the `backlog` section for existing items (to preserve priorities during merge). Scan the `done/` folder to build a set of archived item IDs (`done_item_ids`). If `sprint-status.yaml` does not exist, report an error and suggest running `bmad-sprint-planning` first.
-
-- [x] 3.2 **Step 2 -- Extract stories from epics.md:** Parse `epics.md` to extract all epics and their stories. For each story, generate the kebab-case item ID (`N-M-title-slug`). Exclude items in `sprint_item_ids` (already in a sprint). Exclude items in `done_item_ids` (archived).
-
-- [x] 3.3 **Step 3 -- Extract bugs:** Glob for `bug-*.md` files in the implementation artifacts directory. Parse YAML frontmatter for title, severity, status. Create bug items with `type: bug`, `epic: null`, `severity` from frontmatter. Exclude bugs in `sprint_item_ids` or `done_item_ids`.
-
-- [x] 3.4 **Step 4 -- Merge with existing backlog:** For items already in the existing `backlog` section, preserve their `priority` and `status` values. For items in existing backlog whose IDs do NOT appear in `epics.md` or bug files, flag as orphaned with a WARNING but keep them in the backlog (do not auto-remove). For newly discovered items (not in existing backlog, not in sprints, not in done), add with `status: backlog`.
-
-- [x] 3.5 **Step 5 -- Priority ordering:** Sort all backlog items: critical bugs first, then by explicit priority (preserved from existing backlog), then by epic order. Re-number priorities sequentially 1..N to match array position.
-
-- [x] 3.6 **Step 6 -- Build epics section:** Rebuild the `epics` section from parsed epics in `epics.md`. Preserve existing `status` and `retrospective` values for epics already in the file (never downgrade). Add new epics with `status: backlog`, `retrospective: optional`.
-
-- [x] 3.7 **Step 7 -- Write sprint-status.yaml:** Assemble the complete file: preserve top-level metadata (`generated`, `project`, `project_key`, `tracking_system`, `story_location`), update `last_updated` timestamp, write refreshed `epics` section, write refreshed `backlog` section, preserve `sprints` section UNCHANGED. Single atomic write (read-modify-write pattern).
-
-- [x] 3.8 **Step 8 -- Report summary:** Output summary with counts: total stories, total bugs, new items added, orphaned items flagged, items excluded (sprint-assigned), items excluded (archived in done/).
-
-### Task 4: Verify the old `backlog.yaml` standalone write is NOT present (AC: 1)
-
-- [x] 4.1 Confirm neither SKILL.md file contains any instruction to write a standalone `backlog.yaml` file.
-- [x] 4.2 Confirm the only write target is `sprint-status.yaml`.
-- [x] 4.3 If the previous (rolled-back) implementation left any references to `backlog.yaml` as an output, remove them.
-
-### Task 5: Deployment verification (AC: 6)
-
-- [x] 5.1 Run `npx ma-agents` (or `node bin/cli.js`) to trigger the installer.
-- [x] 5.2 Verify the IDE skill appears in the installed MANIFEST.yaml for at least one agent (e.g., check `.claude/skills/MANIFEST.yaml` includes `generate-backlog`).
-- [x] 5.3 Diff the installed IDE copy (e.g., `.claude/skills/generate-backlog/SKILL.md`) against the source (`skills/generate-backlog/SKILL.md`) -- the content should match after accounting for frontmatter injection by the installer.
-- [x] 5.4 BMAD extension source files confirmed at `lib/bmad-extension/skills/generate-backlog/`; deployed to `_bmad/extensions/ma-agents-skills/` during full BMAD agent install via `lib/bmad.js` `STAGE:EXTENSION` logic.
-- [x] 5.5 `generate-backlog` registered in `lib/bmad-extension/module-help.csv` for `bmm-sm` agent.

-## Dev Notes
-
-### CRITICAL: Two Deployment Pipelines (Read This First)
-
-The ma-agents project is a **multi-agent skill installer** that deploys skills to 8+ IDE coding agents. There are TWO independent deployment pipelines, and this story creates source files for BOTH.
-
-**Why this matters:** The previous version of this story was fundamentally wrong -- it directed edits to `.claude/skills/generate-backlog/SKILL.md`, which is an INSTALLED COPY (read-only deployed artifact). That path is where the installer OUTPUTS files, not where source files live.
-
-#### Pipeline 1: IDE Skills (all IDE agents)
-- **Source location:** `skills/generate-backlog/skill.json` + `skills/generate-backlog/SKILL.md`
-- **Deployed by:** `lib/installer.js` -> `performInstall()` which:
-  1. Reads `skill.json` for metadata
-  2. Falls back through: `templates/<agent>.md` -> `templates/generic.md` -> `SKILL.md`
-  3. Strips existing frontmatter, injects fresh frontmatter from `skill.json`
-  4. Copies to each agent's install directory (e.g., `.claude/skills/`, `.cursor/skills/`, etc.)
-- **Never hardcode agent paths.** The installer handles deployment to all agents automatically.
-- **Reference skill:** See `skills/story-status-lookup/` for a working example of `skill.json` + `SKILL.md`.
-
-#### Pipeline 2: BMAD Extension Skills (BMAD agents only)
-- **Source location:** `lib/bmad-extension/skills/generate-backlog/SKILL.md` + `bmad-skill-manifest.yaml`
-- **Deployed by:** `lib/bmad.js` which copies `lib/bmad-extension/` to `_bmad/extensions/ma-agents-skills/`
-- **Registered in:** `lib/bmad-extension/module-help.csv` (maps skill to `bmm-sm` agent)
-- **Reference skill:** See `lib/bmad-extension/skills/add-to-sprint/` for a working example of `SKILL.md` + `bmad-skill-manifest.yaml`.
-
-#### Install locations (NEVER edit these directly)
-- `.claude/skills/`, `.cursor/skills/`, `.cline/skills/`, `.roo/skills/`, `.gemini/skills/`, `.github/copilot/skills/`, `.kilocode/skills/` -- all managed by installer
-- `_bmad/extensions/ma-agents-skills/skills/` -- managed by BMAD deployer
-
-### What This Story Changes vs Current Behavior
-
-**Current state:** The `generate-backlog` skill does NOT currently exist in either pipeline. The previous (rolled-back) implementation only modified an installed copy at `.claude/skills/generate-backlog/SKILL.md`, which would have been overwritten on the next install. This story creates the skill from scratch in both source locations.
-
-**New behavior:** The skill reads `epics.md` and `bug-*.md` files, then writes the `backlog` and `epics` sections of `sprint-status.yaml`. The `sprints` section is preserved unchanged. Items in sprints or in the `done/` archive are excluded. Orphaned items are flagged but kept.
-
-### Key Design Decisions
-
-- **Output target:** `sprint-status.yaml` `backlog` + `epics` sections (NOT a standalone `backlog.yaml`)
-- **Sprint-assigned item exclusion:** Must read `sprints` section to build exclusion set (single-location invariant from Story 17.9)
-- **Done exclusion:** Scans `done/` folder to prevent reintroducing archived items
-- **Orphan detection:** Items in existing backlog that no longer appear in source files get a warning but are NOT removed
-- **Atomic write:** Single read-modify-write to `sprint-status.yaml`; `sprints` section passed through unchanged
-- **Priority sort:** Critical bugs > explicit priority (preserved) > epic order; renumbered 1..N
-- **No `sprint` field on backlog items:** Sprint assignment is structural in the unified model (items in a sprint's `items` array are "assigned")
-
-### Unified Schema Sections Touched
-
-- **`backlog`** -- primary write target (full replacement of items not in sprints or done)
-- **`epics`** -- updated with refreshed epic metadata from epics.md
-- **`sprints`** -- read-only (used to build the exclusion set; preserved unchanged on write)
-
-### Reference Files
-
-- **Schema:** `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/sprint-status-schema.md` (canonical schema for sprint-status.yaml)
-- **Epics source:** `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/epics.md`
-- **Bug files:** `_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/bug-*.md`
-- **Done archive:** `_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/done/`
-- **Sprint status:** `_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml`
-- **IDE skill reference:** `skills/story-status-lookup/skill.json` + `skills/story-status-lookup/SKILL.md`
-- **BMAD skill reference:** `lib/bmad-extension/skills/add-to-sprint/` (SKILL.md + bmad-skill-manifest.yaml)
-- **Module help CSV:** `lib/bmad-extension/module-help.csv`
-
-### Cross-References
-
-- **Story 17.9** (prerequisite): Defines the unified `sprint-status.yaml` schema this skill writes to
-- **Story 17.15** (prerequisite): `bmad-sprint-planning` bootstraps the file; `generate-backlog` refreshes the backlog section on subsequent runs
-- **Story 17.11** (downstream): `add-to-sprint` moves items from the backlog section this skill populates into sprints
-- **Story 17.24** (downstream): `prioritize-backlog` reorders items in the backlog section this skill populates
-- **Story 17.23** (future): Migration story that deprecates the old standalone `backlog.yaml` file
-
-### PRD Traceability
-
-- **FR64:** Bugs exist in the backlog as standalone items -- never assigned to an epic
-- **FR133:** `sprint-status.yaml` includes top-level metadata (generated, last_updated, project, etc.)
-- **FR134:** Each item carries consistent structure (id, type, epic, title, priority, status, severity)
-- **FR67:** Prioritization supports multiple criteria beyond epic precedence
-
-### Architecture Reference
-
-- Architecture Decision P2-11 in `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/architecture.md`
-
-## Dev Agent Record
-
-### Implementation Notes
-
-- All task files created from scratch — no previous implementation existed in either pipeline (previous agent had only modified installed copies, which were rolled back).
-- IDE skill deployed via `node bin/cli.js install generate-backlog claude-code` — confirmed installed to `.claude/skills/generate-backlog/` with content matching source (frontmatter injected by installer).
-- BMAD extension source files placed in correct location; BMAD deployment occurs during full `ma-agents` BMAD agent install via `lib/bmad.js` `STAGE:EXTENSION` logic.
-- `module-help.csv` entry inserted between Project Context Expansion and Sprint Status View rows (order does not affect functionality).
-- Both SKILL.md files implement identical workflow logic; BMAD version adds path resolution via `_bmad/bmm/config.yaml`.
-- Code review: All 8 acceptance criteria satisfied. No `backlog.yaml` write instructions found. Single-location invariant enforced via `sprint_item_ids` exclusion set. Orphan detection implemented with keep-not-remove policy. Validation step before atomic write.
