+ ## Technology Stack
200
+ - Frontend: React 18 + TypeScript
201
+ - Backend: Node.js + Express
202
+ - Database: PostgreSQL
203
+ - ORM: Prisma
204
+
205
+ ## Implementation Rules
206
+ - Use TypeScript strict mode
207
+ - All API responses must follow REST conventions
208
+ - Error handling with custom error classes
209
+ - Unit test coverage minimum 80%

  ## Troubleshooting
193
340
 
194
- | Error | Fix |
195
- |---|---|
196
- | Skills not showing | Restart IDE, check settings |
197
- | Old version | `npx bmad-method@6.0.4 install` |
198
- | Old skills module | `rm -rf .claude/skills/bmad-*` → re-install |
199
- | Nested install | Install at project root |
200
- | Context noise | Fresh chat for each workflow |
201
- | Agent wrong role | Fresh chat + invoke correct skill |
202
- | Quick Flow scope creep | Escalate to BMad Method |
203
- | Cannot find module | `nvm install 20` |
341
+ | Error | Cause | Fix |
342
+ |---|---|---|
343
+ | **Skills not showing in IDE** | IDE hasn't enabled skills or needs restart | Check IDE settings → enable skills → restart/reload |
344
+ | **`npx bmad-method` gives old version** | npm cache is stale | `npx bmad-method@6.2.0 install` or `@next` |
345
+ | **Old module skills still present** | Installer doesn't auto-delete | Remove manually: `rm -rf .claude/skills/bmad-*` → re-install |
346
+ | **Nested install rejected** | Ancestor directory already has BMAD | Install at project root, no nesting |
347
+ | **Workflow context errors** | Running multiple workflows in same chat | **Always use fresh chat** for each workflow |
348
+ | **Brainstorming overwrites old session** | Bug v6.0.3 and below | Update to v6.0.4+ |
349
+ | **Agent responds with wrong role** | Context noise from previous workflow | Fresh chat + invoke correct agent skill |
350
+ | **Quick Dev scope creep** | Feature larger than expected | Quick Dev auto-detect → split or escalate |
351
+ | **Code Review infinite loop** | Old bug: mandatory minimum findings | Fixed v6.1+ — removed mandatory minimum |
352
+ | **PRD loses brainstorming ideas** | Silent loss bug | Fixed v6.1+ — added reconciliation step |
353
+ | **Cannot find module** | Node.js version < 20 | Upgrade Node.js: `nvm install 20` |
354
+ | **Skill validation errors** | Naming/path/variable issues | Run skill-validator.md on skill directory |

  ### Debug Steps
206
357
 
207
358
  ```bash
208
- node --version # Must be >= 20
359
+ # 1. Verify Node.js version
360
+ node --version # Must be >= 20
361
+
362
+ # 2. Clear npm cache
209
363
  npm cache clean --force
210
- npx bmad-method@6.0.4 install
211
- ls -la .claude/skills/
212
- cat _bmad/module.yaml
364
+
365
+ # 3. Re-install with specific version or @next
366
+ npx bmad-method@6.2.0 install
367
+ # or
368
+ npx bmad-method@next install
369
+
370
+ # 4. Verify skills directory
371
+ ls -la .claude/skills/ # or .cursor/skills/
372
+
373
+ # 5. Check installed config
374
+ cat _bmad/bmm/config.yaml
375
+
376
+ # 6. Report bug if still failing

  ### ✅ Gold Rules
220
385
 
221
- 1. **Always use a fresh chat** for each workflow — avoid context pollution
222
- 2. **Start with `/bmad-help`** — inspect project state → recommend next step
223
- 3. **Create Project Context early** agents understand tech preferences
224
- 4. **Choose the right planning track** Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise
225
- 5. **Run Implementation Readiness** before coding
226
- 6. **Code Review every story** adversarial review catches bugs early
227
- 7. **Retrospective every epic** continuous improvement
228
- 8. **Commit code frequently** keep diffs small
229
- 9. **Upgrade BMad regularly** bug fixes, better behavior
386
+ | # | Rule | Why |
387
+ |---|---|---|
388
+ | 1 | **Always use fresh chat** for each workflow | Avoid context pollution, each agent needs clean context |
389
+ | 2 | **Start with `/bmad-help`** | BMad-Help inspects project state recommends exact next step |
390
+ | 3 | **Create Project Context early** | Agents understand tech preferences → higher quality output |
391
+ | 4 | **Choose the right planning track** | Quick Flow for small, BMad Method for medium, Enterprise for complex |
392
+ | 5 | **Run Implementation Readiness** before coding | Validate cohesion between PRD, Architecture, Epics |
393
+ | 6 | **Code Review every story** | Sharded parallel review catches bugs early (Blind Hunter + Edge Case Hunter + Acceptance Auditor) |
394
+ | 7 | **Retrospective every epic** | Continuous improvement, adjust sprint |
395
+ | 8 | **Commit code frequently** | Keep diffs small, easy to review |
396
+ | 9 | **Git ignore planning artifacts** if containing sensitive info | PRD/Architecture may contain business logic |
397
+ | 10 | **Upgrade BMad regularly** | Bug fixes, new features, better agent behavior. Use `@next` for cutting edge |

  ### ❌ Anti-Patterns
232
400
 
233
- | Anti-Pattern | Solution |
401
+ | Anti-Pattern | Problem | Solution |
402
+ |---|---|---|
403
+ | **Running multiple workflows in same chat** | Context noise, agent confused | Fresh chat for each workflow |
404
+ | **Skip PRD and go straight to code** (for medium+ projects) | Missing requirements → excessive rework | At minimum need PRD or tech-spec |
405
+ | **Vibe-coding instead of following process** | Inconsistent output | Use structured workflows |
406
+ | **Ignore `bmad-help` recommendations** | Miss important steps | Trust bmad-help, it inspects project state |
407
+ | **Not creating Project Context** | Agents don't understand conventions | Create `project-context.md` early |
408
+ | **Nested BMAD install** | Duplicate commands, confusion | Install at root project only |
409
+ | **Using Quick Flow for complex features** | Under-planned, scope creep | Escalate to BMad Method when scope is large |
410
+ | **Not running Code Review** | Bugs slip through | Always `/bmad-code-review` after every story |
411
+ | **Reference files across skills** | Breaking encapsulation (PATH-05) | Use `skill:skill-name` syntax instead of file paths |
