bmad-global — Personal BMad Fork

Personal fork of BMad Method with opinionated extensions for daily professional use.

What this fork adds

This fork extends the upstream BMad Method with:

• Global flat install — Skills install to ~/.claude/skills/{skill-name}/ for Claude Code discovery, with auto git commit/push
• Agent Teams infrastructure — Shared schemas, protocols, and conventions for Claude Code Agent Teams (bmad-shared/)
• Knowledge Bootstrap — Automated workflow-knowledge file generation (bmad-knowledge-bootstrap)
• Daily Planning — Personal daily planning workflow with velocity tracking (bmad-daily-planning)
• TEA suite — Test Engineering & Automation skills (ATDD, automation, CI, framework, test review, traceability)
• Desktop validation — Business validation gate for desktop applications (bmad-validation-desktop)
• Workflow improvements — "Investigate first, ask second" for troubleshooting, anti-rationalization rule for code review
• Path corrections — All skill paths updated for global flat install (no more _bmad/core/ dead refs)
• Upstream sync skill — bmad-upstream-sync for merging upstream changes with guided conflict resolution

Quick Start

Option 1: npx (no clone needed)

Option 2: Clone and install from source

git clone https://github.com/florian-trehaut/bmad-global.git

Upstream Sync

This fork tracks bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD as upstream. To merge upstream changes:

bmad-upstream-sync

This runs the upstream sync skill which fetches, analyzes divergence, resolves conflicts guided by our conventions, and produces a clean merge commit.
