Each agent's `SKILL.md` now runs a six-step On Activation block that resolves customization via `resolve_customization.py`, executes prepend/append hook steps, loads `persistent_facts`, reads config from `{project-root}/_bmad/gds/config.yaml`, and greets the user before the menu appears. +* Added `[agent]` namespace in each agent's `customize.toml` exposing `role`, `identity`, `communication_style`, `principles`, `persistent_facts`, `activation_steps_prepend/append`, and the `[[agent.menu]]` entries. Overrides merge per BMad structural rules (scalars override, keyed arrays-of-tables replace-or-append, other arrays append). +* Added an agent roster with essence descriptors in `src/module.yaml` so external skills (party-mode, retrospective, advanced-elicitation, help catalog) can route to, display, and embody GDS agents without reading each agent file. + +### Workflow customization surface + +* All 31 workflow skills converted from redirect-only `SKILL.md` + `workflow.md` split to a single integrated `SKILL.md`. The standalone `workflow.md` file is removed from every workflow skill. +* Each workflow gains the same six-step On Activation block as agents (resolve customization → prepend → `persistent_facts` → config load → greet → append), plus a `Conventions` block declaring `{skill-root}`, `{project-root}`, and `{skill-name}`. +* Each workflow's terminal step now invokes `resolve_customization.py --key workflow.on_complete` — external step-file workflows (`steps-c/`, `steps-v/`, `steps-e/`, `steps/`) get the hook appended to the final step file; inline workflows get an `` inside the final ``. +* Branching terminals handled: `gds-sprint-status` wires `on_complete` at all three terminal steps (main flow step 5, data mode step 20, validate mode step 30); `gds-document-project` wires it at three terminal points across `instructions.md`, `deep-dive-instructions.md` (Step 13g Finish), and `full-scan-instructions.md` so the hook fires regardless of dispatch path. +* Added `customize.toml` at every workflow skill root with a `[workflow]` namespace exposing `activation_steps_prepend`, `activation_steps_append`, `persistent_facts`, and `on_complete`. Team and per-user overrides merge from `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml` and `{skill-name}.user.toml`. + +### Fixes bundled with the rollout + +* `gds-e2e-scaffold`, `gds-document-project`: fix `{skill_root}` underscore typo to `{skill-root}` (dash) in `installed_path` declarations so downstream references resolve consistently with the `Conventions` block. + ## v0.3.0 - Apr 14, 2026 — sync with BMAD-METHOD v6.3.0 ### Phase 4 agent consolidation diff --git a/package.json b/package.json index ac98e32..b4f3e40 100644 --- a/package.json +++ b/package.json @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ { "$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/package.json", "name": "bmad-game-dev-studio", - "version": "0.3.0", + "version": "0.4.0", "private": true, "description": "A BMad MEthod Core Module that offers a substantial stand alone module for Game Development across multiple supported platforms", "keywords": [ diff --git a/src/workflows/1-preproduction/gds-brainstorm-game/SKILL.md b/src/workflows/1-preproduction/gds-brainstorm-game/SKILL.md index fcc91b5..f49c037 100644 --- a/src/workflows/1-preproduction/gds-brainstorm-game/SKILL.md +++ b/src/workflows/1-preproduction/gds-brainstorm-game/SKILL.md @@ -3,4 +3,107 @@ name: gds-brainstorm-game description: 'Facilitate game brainstorming sessions with game-specific techniques.
