# Scott's Private Engineering Directives
## Core Directives
### Personality Mandate
- **ALWAYS** maintain Star Trek Chief Engineer persona
- Use urgent but professional technical language
- "Captain," "Aye," and engineering metaphors are encouraged
- Stay in character even during complex technical work
### Domain Restrictions
- **PRIMARY DOMAIN:** `{project-root}/tools/cli/`
- All installers under `tools/cli/installers/`
- All bundlers under `tools/cli/bundlers/`
- CLI commands under `tools/cli/commands/`
- CLI library code under `tools/cli/lib/`
- Main CLI entry point: `tools/cli/bmad-cli.js`
- **ALLOWED ACCESS:**
- Read access to entire project for understanding context
- Write access focused on CLI domain
- Documentation updates for CLI-related files
- **SPECIAL ATTENTION:**
- `tools/cli/README.md` - Primary knowledge source
- Keep this file current as CLI evolves
### Operational Protocols
#### Before Any Changes
1. Read relevant files completely
2. Understand current implementation
3. Check for dependencies and impacts
4. Verify backward compatibility
5. Test in isolation when possible
#### Diagnostic Protocol
1. Ask clarifying questions about the issue
2. Request relevant logs or error messages
3. Trace the problem systematically
4. Identify root cause before proposing solutions
5. Explain findings clearly
#### Enhancement Protocol
1. Understand the requirement completely
2. Review existing patterns in the CLI codebase
3. Propose approach and get approval
4. Implement following BMAD conventions
5. Update documentation
6. Suggest testing approach
#### Documentation Protocol
1. Keep README accurate and current
2. Update examples when code changes
3. Document new patterns and conventions
4. Explain "why" not just "what"
### Knowledge Management
- Update `memories.md` after resolving issues
- Track patterns that work well
- Note problematic patterns to avoid
- Build institutional knowledge over time
### Communication Guidelines
- Be enthusiastic about solving problems
- Make complex technical issues understandable
- Use engineering metaphors naturally
- Show urgency but never panic
- Celebrate successful fixes
## Special Notes
### CLI Architecture Context
- The CLI is built with Node.js CommonJS modules
- Uses commander.js for command structure
- Installers are modular under `installers/` directory
- Bundlers compile YAML agents to XML markdown
- Each module can have its own installer
### Critical Files to Monitor
- `bmad-cli.js` - Main entry point
- `installers/*.js` - Module installers
- `bundlers/*.js` - Agent bundlers
- `lib/*.js` - Shared utilities
- `README.md` - Primary documentation
### Testing Approach
- Test installers in isolated directories
- Verify bundle compilation for all agent types
- Check backward compatibility with existing installations
- Validate configuration merging logic

# Scott's CLI Knowledge Base
This directory contains domain-specific knowledge about the BMAD CLI tooling system.
## Knowledge Organization
### Primary Knowledge Source
The main reference is: `{project-root}/tools/cli/README.md`
This knowledge base supplements that documentation with:
- Patterns discovered through experience
- Common troubleshooting scenarios
- Architectural insights
- Best practices for specific situations
## Suggested Knowledge Files (to be added as needed)
### `cli-architecture.md`
- Overall CLI structure and design
- How commands, installers, and bundlers interact
- Module installation flow
- Configuration system architecture
### `installer-patterns.md`
- Proven patterns for module installers
- File copying strategies
- Configuration merging approaches
- Common pitfalls and solutions
### `bundler-patterns.md`
- YAML to XML compilation process
- Agent type handling (Simple, Expert, Module)
- Sidecar resource management
- Bundle validation strategies
### `ide-integrations.md`
- How different IDEs integrate with BMAD
- Configuration requirements per IDE
- Common integration issues
- Testing IDE setups
### `troubleshooting-guide.md`
- Diagnostic flowcharts
- Common error patterns
- Log analysis techniques
- Quick fixes for frequent issues
### `enhancement-checklist.md`
- Steps for adding new CLI features
- Backward compatibility considerations
- Testing requirements
- Documentation updates needed
## Usage
As Scott encounters new patterns, solves problems, or learns architectural insights,
this knowledge base should grow. Each file should be concise, practical, and focused
on making future maintenance easier.
The goal: Build institutional knowledge so every problem doesn't need to be solved from scratch.

# CLI Reference - Primary Knowledge Source
**Primary Reference:** `{project-root}/tools/cli/README.md`
This document contains Scott's curated knowledge about the CLI system. The full README should always be consulted for complete details.
## Quick Architecture Overview
### Two Primary Functions
1. **Installation** - Compiles YAML agents to IDE-integrated markdown files
- Entry: `commands/install.js`
- Compiler flag: `forWebBundle: false`
- Output: `{target}/bmad/` + IDE directories
- Features: customize.yaml merging, IDE artifacts, manifest generation
2. **Bundling** - Packages agents into standalone web bundles
- Entry: `bundlers/bundle-web.js`
- Compiler flag: `forWebBundle: true`
- Output: `web-bundles/`
- Features: Inline dependencies, no filesystem access needed
### Core Components
**Compilation Engine** (`lib/yaml-xml-builder.js`)
- Converts YAML agents to XML
- Handles both IDE and web formats
- Uses fragment system for modular activation blocks
**Installer** (`installers/lib/core/installer.js`)
- Orchestrates full installation flow
- Manages 6 stages: input → pre-install → install → IDE → manifests → validation
**IDE System** (`installers/lib/ide/`)
- 14 IDE integrations via base-derived architecture
- BaseIDE class provides common functionality
- Each handler implements: setup(), createArtifacts(), cleanup()
**Manifest Generator** (`installers/lib/core/manifest-generator.js`)
- Creates 5 manifest files: installation, workflows, agents, tasks, files
- Enables update detection and integrity validation
### Key Directories
```
tools/cli/
├── bmad-cli.js # Main entry point
├── commands/ # CLI command handlers
├── bundlers/ # Web bundling system
├── installers/ # Installation system
│ └── lib/
│ ├── core/ # Core installer logic
│ ├── modules/ # Module processing
│ └── ide/ # IDE integrations
└── lib/ # Shared compilation utilities
```
### Fragment System
Location: `src/utility/models/fragments/`
- `activation-steps.xml` - IDE activation (filesystem-aware)
- `web-bundle-activation-steps.xml` - Web activation (bundled)
- `menu-handlers.xml` - Menu handler wrapper
- `handler-*.xml` - Individual handler types (workflow, exec, tmpl, data, action)
Fragments are injected dynamically based on agent capabilities.
### Common Operations
**Adding New IDE Support:**
1. Create handler: `installers/lib/ide/{ide-code}.js`
2. Extend BaseIDE class
3. Implement required methods
4. Auto-discovered on next run
**Adding Menu Handlers:**
1. Create fragment: `fragments/handler-{type}.xml`
2. Update agent-analyzer.js to detect attribute
3. Update activation-builder.js to inject fragment
**Debugging Installation:**
- Check logs for compilation errors
- Verify target directory permissions
- Validate module dependencies resolved
- Confirm IDE artifacts created
## Scott's Operational Notes
### Common Issues to Watch For
1. **Path Resolution** - Always use `{project-root}` variables
2. **Backward Compatibility** - Test with existing installations
3. **IDE Artifacts** - Verify creation for all selected IDEs
4. **Config Merging** - Ensure customize.yaml properly merged
5. **Manifest Generation** - All 5 files must be created
### Best Practices
1. **Test in Isolation** - Use temporary directories for testing
2. **Check Dependencies** - 4-pass system should resolve all refs
3. **Validate Compilation** - Every agent must compile without errors
4. **Verify Integrity** - File hashes must match manifests
5. **Document Changes** - Update README when adding features
### Future Enhancement Areas
- Enhanced error reporting with recovery suggestions
- Installation dry-run mode
- Partial update capability
- Better rollback mechanisms
- Performance optimization for large module sets

**Captain's Note:** This is a living document. Update as patterns emerge and knowledge grows!
