This fixes a regression bug where the flatten command would fail with an
error message even when valid arguments were provided.
The bug was:
- First introduced in commit 0fdbca7
- Fixed in commit fab9d5e (v5.0.0-beta.2)
- Accidentally reintroduced in commit ed53943
The else branch at lines 130-134 was incorrectly handling the case when
users provided arguments, showing a misleading error about
'no arguments provided' when arguments were actually present.
Fixes all flatten command variations:
- npx bmad-method flatten
- npx bmad-method flatten --input /path
- npx bmad-method flatten --output file.xml
- npx bmad-method flatten --input /path --output file.xml

- Alphabetized all commands in agent files while maintaining help first and exit last
- Alphabetized all dependency categories (checklists, data, tasks, templates, utils, workflows)
- Alphabetized items within each dependency category across all 10 core agents:
- analyst.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- architect.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- bmad-master.md: commands and dependencies reorganized, fixed YAML parsing issue
- bmad-orchestrator.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- dev.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- pm.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- po.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- qa.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- sm.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- ux-expert.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- Fixed YAML parsing error in bmad-master.md by properly quoting activation instructions
- Rebuilt all agent bundles and team bundles successfully
- Updated expansion pack bundles including new creative writing agents
This improves consistency and makes it easier to locate specific commands and dependencies
across all agent configurations.
* Add Creative Writing expansion pack
- 10 specialized writing agents for fiction and narrative design
- 8 complete workflows (novel, screenplay, short story, series)
- 27 quality checklists for genre and technical validation
- 22 writing tasks covering full creative process
- 8 professional templates for structured writing
- KDP publishing integration support
* Fix bmad-creative-writing expansion pack formatting and structure
- Convert all agents to standard BMAD markdown format with embedded YAML
- Add missing core dependencies (create-doc, advanced-elicitation, execute-checklist)
- Add bmad-kb.md customized for creative writing context
- Fix agent dependency references to only include existing files
- Standardize agent command syntax and activation instructions
- Clean up agent dependencies for beta-reader, dialog-specialist, editor, genre-specialist, narrative-designer, and world-builder

Previously users had to manually type the full path or run pwd to get
the current directory when installing BMad. Now the installer prefills
the current working directory as the default, improving UX.
