Rewrite the repo from a skills installer into a Claude Code plugin (distributed
via marketplace) that harnesses the BMAD Method v6.x for PLANNING and
ORCHESTRATION only — it never writes code. Implementation is handed off to
external dev tools.
Built:
- Plugin bmad-planning-orchestrator (.claude-plugin/plugin.json) + repo-root
marketplace (bmad-method-harness)
- 20 planning/orchestration skills aligned to current BMAD v6.x: skills-centric,
scale-adaptive tracks (Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise) not Levels,
five-field SPEC kernel, three-intent PRD/brief, two-document UX
(DESIGN.md + EXPERIENCE.md), persistent decision-log, compiled-context stories
- Parallel orchestration: epics/stories with disjoint Owned File/Module Scope,
bmad-parallel-plan (dependency DAG -> conflict-free waves + merge order),
bmad-handoff (tool-agnostic handoff-manifest.json with a versioned schema)
- 3 planning subagents (tools-restricted, no code execution), next-step hooks,
shared scripts (incl. scope-conflict-check.sh), 5 resource guides
- Docs site, root+plugin README, CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING, MIGRATION, CHANGELOG
Removed (refocus to planning/orchestration):
- developer skill, /dev-story, lint/coverage/pre-commit execution
- Fibonacci story points, velocity, burndown (now one-dev-day sizing +
count-based delivery)
- install-v6.sh/.ps1 installers (marketplace install replaces them)
- the dual bmad-v6/ + bmad-skills/ source trees (collapsed into one plugin)
Attribution to the BMAD Code Organization preserved and strengthened throughout
(LICENSE clause, ATTRIBUTION.md, per-skill footers, manifest author/homepage,
resources/bmad-method-mapping.md). This plugin is an independent harness; the
BMAD Method belongs to the BMAD Code Organization.
Verified: validate-skill 20/20; all .py compile; all .sh pass bash -n; all JSON
valid; handoff template validates against its schema; scripts executed on sample
data by an adversarial functional review.
