+# Fork Guide - CI/CD Configuration
+
+## CI/CD in Forks
+
+By default, CI/CD workflows are **disabled in forks** to conserve GitHub Actions resources and provide a cleaner fork experience.
+
+### Why This Approach?
+
+- **Resource efficiency**: Prevents unnecessary GitHub Actions usage across 1,600+ forks
+- **Clean fork experience**: No failed workflow notifications in your fork
+- **Full control**: Enable CI/CD only when you actually need it
+- **PR validation**: Your changes are still fully tested when submitting PRs to the main repository
+
+## Enabling CI/CD in Your Fork
+
+If you need to run CI/CD workflows in your fork, follow these steps:
+
+1. Navigate to your fork's **Settings** tab
+2. Go to **Secrets and variables** → **Actions** → **Variables**
+3. Click **New repository variable**
+4. Create a new variable:
+   - **Name**: `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK`
+   - **Value**: `true`
+5. Click **Add variable**
+
+That's it! CI/CD workflows will now run in your fork.
+
+## Disabling CI/CD Again
+
+To disable CI/CD workflows in your fork, you can either:
+
+- **Delete the variable**: Remove the `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK` variable entirely, or
+- **Set to false**: Change the `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK` value to `false`
+
+## Alternative Testing Options
+
+You don't always need to enable CI/CD in your fork. Here are alternatives:
+
+### Local Testing
+
+Run tests locally before pushing:
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+npm ci
+
+# Run linting
+npm run lint
+
+# Run format check
+npm run format:check
+
+# Run validation
+npm run validate
+
+# Build the project
+npm run build
+```
+
+### Pull Request CI
+
+When you open a Pull Request to the main repository:
+
+- All CI/CD workflows automatically run
+- You get full validation of your changes
+- No configuration needed
+
+### GitHub Codespaces
+
+Use GitHub Codespaces for a full development environment:
+
+- All tools pre-configured
+- Same environment as CI/CD
+- No local setup required
+
+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### Q: Will my PR be tested even if CI is disabled in my fork?
+
+**A:** Yes! When you open a PR to the main repository, all CI/CD workflows run automatically, regardless of your fork's settings.
+
+### Q: Can I selectively enable specific workflows?
+
+**A:** The `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK` variable enables all workflows. For selective control, you'd need to modify individual workflow files.
+
+### Q: Do I need to enable CI in my fork to contribute?
+
+**A:** No! Most contributors never need to enable CI in their forks. Local testing and PR validation are sufficient for most contributions.
+
+### Q: Will disabling CI affect my ability to merge PRs?
+
+**A:** No! PR merge requirements are based on CI runs in the main repository, not your fork.
+
+### Q: Why was this implemented?
+
+**A:** With over 1,600 forks of BMAD-METHOD, this saves thousands of GitHub Actions minutes monthly while maintaining code quality standards.

+- Check the [Contributing Guide](../README.md#contributing) for more information
+- Open an issue if you encounter any problems
+
+---
+
+> 💡 **Pro Tip**: This fork-friendly approach is particularly valuable for projects using AI/LLM tools that create many experimental commits, as it prevents unnecessary CI runs while maintaining code quality standards.

 ## 🌟 Beyond Software Development - Expansion Packs
 
-BMad's natural language framework works in ANY domain. Expansion packs provide specialized AI agents for creative writing, business strategy, health & wellness, education, and more. Also expansion packs can expand the core BMad-Method with specific functionality that is not generic for all cases. [See the Expansion Packs Guide](docs/expansion-packs.md) and learn to create your own!
-
-## Codebase Flattener Tool
-
-The BMad-Method includes a powerful codebase flattener tool designed to prepare your project files for AI model consumption. This tool aggregates your entire codebase into a single XML file, making it easy to share your project context with AI assistants for analysis, debugging, or development assistance.
-
-### Features
-
-- **AI-Optimized Output**: Generates clean XML format specifically designed for AI model consumption
-- **Smart Filtering**: Automatically respects `.gitignore` patterns to exclude unnecessary files
-- **Binary File Detection**: Intelligently identifies and excludes binary files, focusing on source code
-- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress indicators and comprehensive completion statistics
-- **Flexible Output**: Customizable output file location and naming
-
-### Usage
-
-```bash
-# Basic usage - creates flattened-codebase.xml in current directory
-npx bmad-method flatten
-
-# Specify custom input directory
-npx bmad-method flatten --input /path/to/source/directory
-npx bmad-method flatten -i /path/to/source/directory
-
-# Specify custom output file
-npx bmad-method flatten --output my-project.xml
-npx bmad-method flatten -o /path/to/output/codebase.xml
-
-# Combine input and output options
-npx bmad-method flatten --input /path/to/source --output /path/to/output/codebase.xml
-```
-
-### Example Output
-
-The tool will display progress and provide a comprehensive summary:
-
-```text
-📊 Completion Summary:
-✅ Successfully processed 156 files into flattened-codebase.xml
-📁 Output file: /path/to/your/project/flattened-codebase.xml
-📏 Total source size: 2.3 MB
-📄 Generated XML size: 2.1 MB
-📝 Total lines of code: 15,847
-🔢 Estimated tokens: 542,891
-📊 File breakdown: 142 text, 14 binary, 0 errors
-```
-
-The generated XML file contains your project's text-based source files in a structured format that AI models can easily parse and understand, making it perfect for code reviews, architecture discussions, or getting AI assistance with your BMad-Method projects.
-
-#### Advanced Usage & Options
-
-- CLI options
-  - `-i, --input <path>`: Directory to flatten. Default: current working directory or auto-detected project root when run interactively.
-  - `-o, --output <path>`: Output file path. Default: `flattened-codebase.xml` in the chosen directory.
-- Interactive mode
-  - If you do not pass `--input` and `--output` and the terminal is interactive (TTY), the tool will attempt to detect your project root (by looking for markers like `.git`, `package.json`, etc.) and prompt you to confirm or override the paths.
-  - In non-interactive contexts (e.g., CI), it will prefer the detected root silently; otherwise it falls back to the current directory and default filename.
-- File discovery and ignoring
-  - Uses `git ls-files` when inside a git repository for speed and correctness; otherwise falls back to a glob-based scan.
-  - Applies your `.gitignore` plus a curated set of default ignore patterns (e.g., `node_modules`, build outputs, caches, logs, IDE folders, lockfiles, large media/binaries, `.env*`, and previously generated XML outputs).
-- Binary handling
-  - Binary files are detected and excluded from the XML content. They are counted in the final summary but not embedded in the output.
-- XML format and safety
-  - UTF-8 encoded file with root element `<files>`.
-  - Each text file is emitted as a `<file path="relative/path">` element whose content is wrapped in `<![CDATA[ ... ]]>`.
-  - The tool safely handles occurrences of `]]>` inside content by splitting the CDATA to preserve correctness.
-  - File contents are preserved as-is and indented for readability inside the XML.
-- Performance
-  - Concurrency is selected automatically based on your CPU and workload size. No configuration required.
-  - Running inside a git repo improves discovery performance.
-
-#### Minimal XML example
-
-```xml
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<files>
-  <file path="src/index.js"><![CDATA[
-    // your source content
-  ]]></file>
-</files>
