The root package.json, lockfile, .nvmrc, prettier ignore file and .npmignore are gone. docs-site has its own package.json and lockfile with the Astro, ESLint and Prettier dependencies, and its scripts run relative to that directory. tools/quality.py, both workflows and the docs all call npm inside docs-site. stamp_release.py stamps only the 29 skill manifests now; the version lives nowhere else on this branch. The tests for package stamping go with it.

BMAD Method Documentation Site
This directory contains the Astro + Starlight configuration for the BMAD Method documentation site.
Architecture
The documentation uses a symlink architecture to keep content in docs/ at the repo root while serving it through Astro:
bmad2/
├── docs/ # Content lives here (repo root)
│ ├── index.md
│ ├── tutorials/
│ ├── how-to/
│ ├── explanation/
│ └── reference/
└── docs-site/
├── astro.config.mjs # Astro + Starlight config
├── scripts/ # Build pipeline, link and sidebar validators
├── test/ # Node tests for the site and its scripts
├── src/
│ ├── content/
│ │ └── docs -> ../../../docs # Symlink to content
│ └── styles/
│ └── custom.css # Custom styling
└── public/ # Static assets
Development
cd docs-site
npm ci # Install (Node version in .nvmrc)
npm run dev # Start dev server
npm run build # Build for production (validates links first)
npm run preview # Preview production build
npm run validate-links # Check site-relative links in docs/
npm run validate-sidebar # Check sidebar.order frontmatter
npm run fix-links # Rewrite relative links to repo-relative (add --write)
npm run lint # ESLint over scripts/ and test/
npm run format:check # Prettier over scripts/ and test/
npm test # Run the site tests
The site is the only part of the repository that uses Node; everything else
runs on uv. tools/quality.py at the repository root runs these checks
together with the Python ones.
Platform Notes
Windows Symlink Support
The docs-site/src/content/docs symlink may not work correctly on Windows without Developer Mode enabled or administrator privileges.
To enable symlinks on Windows:
-
Enable Developer Mode (recommended):
- Settings → Update & Security → For developers → Developer Mode: On
- This allows creating symlinks without admin rights
-
Or use Git's symlink support:
git config core.symlinks trueThen re-clone the repository.
-
Or create a junction (alternative):
# Run as Administrator mklink /J docs-site\src\content\docs ..\..\..\docs
If symlinks don't work, you can copy the docs folder instead:
# Remove the symlink
rm docs-site/src/content/docs
# Copy the docs folder
cp -r docs docs-site/src/content/docs
Note: If copying, remember to keep the copy in sync with changes to docs/.
Build Output
The build pipeline (npm run build) produces:
