Rewrite the entry in imperative form.

Use wording such as: List bmad-loop-resolve in the module help catalog. The current wording is passive.

As per coding guidelines, CHANGELOG entries must be terse, scannable, and imperative.

In `@CHANGELOG.md` at line 356, Rewrite the bmad-loop-resolve CHANGELOG entry in
terse, scannable imperative form, stating that it is listed in the module help
catalog.

BMAD-METHOD mergeModuleHelpCatalogs module-help.csv duplicate rows help catalog

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the BMAD-METHOD framework, mergeModuleHelpCatalogs is a utility function used by the installer to consolidate individual module help entries into a single, centralized help catalog file, typically located at _bmad/module-help.csv [1][2][3]. To address duplicate rows and ensure data integrity, the script employs an anti-zombie pattern [1][4]. Before appending new entries from a source CSV, the script filters the target catalog to remove all existing rows that match the module code of the incoming data [1][5]. This ensures that when a module&#39;s help information is updated, old or stale entries are cleared out, preventing duplicates and inconsistencies in the catalog [1][2]. Key technical aspects include: * Anti-Zombie Logic: The script explicitly reads the target file, identifies all rows associated with the specific module being processed, removes them, and then appends the fresh rows from the source [1][4]. * Schema Modernization: The catalog format has evolved, notably transitioning to a 13-column schema that includes fields for dependency resolution (after/before) and action/args for routing [6]. * Meta Row Handling: Newer versions of the installer have been updated to preserve _meta rows (used for features like llms.txt support) during the merge process, ensuring these entries are not incorrectly handled as standard skill rows [7]. * Evolution of Installer: Recent architectural changes, such as those in pull request #2285, have moved towards using in-memory manifest generation for agent enrichment, reducing the reliance on older CSV-based roundtrips for certain types of configuration data [8][9]. If you are experiencing issues with duplicate rows or schema mismatches, ensure your environment is using the latest version of the installer, as inconsistencies between documentation (such as SKILL.md files) and the actual CSV schema written by the installer have been noted as bugs in the past [3].

Every Claude Code session that loads the `bmad-help` skill receives instructions to look up column names that do not exist in the CSV. ## Expected The `## CSV Interpretation` section of `src/core-skills/bmad-help/SKILL.md` documents the format as: ``` module,skill,display-name,menu-code,description,action,args,phase,after,before,required,output-location,outputs ``` ## Actual The installer writes the header at `tools/installer/core/installer.js:885`: ``` module,phase,name,code,sequence,workflow-file,command,required,agent-name,agent-command,agent-display-name,agent-title,options,description,output-location,outputs ``` The generated `_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv` on a fresh 6.3.0 install confirms this — first line is the installer&`#39`;s header, not the SKILL.md header. ## Concrete drift Columns documented in SKILL.md that **do not exist** in the real CSV: - `skill`, `display-name`, `menu-code`, `action`, `args`, `after`, `before` Columns in the real CSV that SKILL.md **does not mention**: - `name`, `code`, `sequence`, `workflow-file`, `command`, `agent-name`, `agent-command`, `agent-display-name`, `agent-title`, `options` Downstream effects documented in SKILL.md that reference non-existent fields: - "Rows with `_meta` in the `skill` column" — there is no `skill` column; `_meta` actually appears in the `phase` column. - "`after` — skills that should ideally complete before this one" / "`before` — skills that should run after this one" — neither column exists. - Response format says `[menu-code]` and `Skill name in backticks` — the columns are `code` and `name`. ## Relevant paths - Doc (wrong schema): `src/core-skills/bmad-help/SKILL.md` — `## CSV Interpretation` section - Generator (correct schema): `tools/installer/core/installer.js:885` (`mergeModuleHelpCatalogs`, `headerRow`) - Generated artifact on install: `{project-root}/_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv` ## Impact The `bmad-help` skill instructs the LLM to navigate the catalog using column names that aren&`#39`;t there. It appears to limp along via fuzzy matching over row content, but the skill&`#39`;s routing logic (phase gating, `required` detection, `_meta` rows, after/before dependencies) is operating on a mental model that doesn&`#39`;t match the data. Other skills that reference the catalog will have the same problem. ## Suggested fix Update `src/core-skills/bmad-help/SKILL.md` to reflect the real installer-written schema. Re-audit downstream instructions in that file (and any other skill docs that reference catalog columns) for column names that need to change. ## Environment - BMAD version: 6.3.0 (installed 2026-04-13) - Verified against canonical repo: local `SKILL.md` matches upstream (whitespace-only diff) ## Timeline **coderabbitai[bot]** commented on 2026-04-18T03:10:55Z: > > > 🔗 Related PRs > > bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD#1868 - refactor(skills): add SKILL.md entrypoint to skill directories [merged] > bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD#1874 - chore(core): convert help.md to native skill directory [merged] > bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD#1936 - refactor(skills): convert create-architecture workflow to native skill [merged] > bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD#2120 - refactor: modernize module-help CSV format [merged] > bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD#2230 - feat(bmad-help): llms.txt support for general questions [merged] > > > --- > > 📝 Issue Planner > > Check the box below or use the `@coderabbitai plan` command to generate an implementation plan and prompts that you can use with your favorite coding assis…[truncated] <title>skills/bmad-module-builder/assets/standalone-module-template/merge-help-csv.py</title> https://github.com/bmad-code-org/bmad-builder/blob/main/skills/bmad-module-builder/assets/standalone-module-template/merge-help-csv.py # skills/bmad-module-builder/assets/standalone-module-template/merge-help-csv.py - Branch: main - Repository: bmad-code-org/bmad-builder --- #!/usr/bin/env python3 # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.9" # dependencies = [] # /// """Merge module help entries into shared _bmad/module-help.csv.

Assert that skill rows are unique. csv_skills is a set, so duplicate skill values are collapsed. BMAD’s merge removes old rows by module, then appends every source row without deduplication. Duplicate source rows can therefore remain as duplicate help entries.

Add a row-count assertion:

assert len(data) == len(csv_skills), "module-help.csv must not contain duplicate skill rows"
