feat: distribute CIS as plain skills through npx skills - #45

Conversation
CIS becomes a module that installs and updates through `npx skills`, with no installer. This includes the work from #43, rebased onto main, plus the module help, roster, and dependency declarations that followed it. Layout - Move the ten skills from src/skills/ to a repo-root skills/ tree, which is the only place `npx skills` installs from. - Delete src/module.yaml, src/module-help.csv and the plugin marketplace manifest. Nothing reads them on the new path. - Prune eslint ignores and sixteen devDependencies inherited from BMAD-METHOD that had no counterpart or importer here. Manifests - Every skill carries module-manifest.toml: module, version, update_source, knowledge, roster, requires and recommends. - Every skill requires the bmad hub skill 6.13.0 or later. - Every skill recommends bmad-advanced-elicitation, bmad-customize, bmad-forge-idea and bmad-party-mode. Personas also recommend the skill behind their menu. Help and roster live in the skills - knowledge was a link to the docs site llms.txt, so help had nothing local to read. It is now a list of documents each skill carries: bmad-meta/cis-help.md in all ten skills, bmad-meta/agents-help.md in the six personas. The content replaces what module-help.csv held. - bmad-meta/cis-roster.toml, named by the new roster key, holds what module.yaml's agents list held: the six personas as party members, four guest members, and two groups (creative-studio, midnight-salon). It uses the fields bmad-party-mode already uses. Party mode does not read it yet. - These files are edited once in bmad-meta/ at the repo root. tools/sync_knowledge.py copies each into the skills whose manifests name it, under any key, and removes a shared copy a manifest stops naming. npm test fails when the copies drift or a roster group names a member nobody defines. Skills - Resolve central config through _bmad/scripts/resolve_config.py instead of the module-era _bmad/cis/config.yaml. - When the resolver script is missing, offer the bmad skill's setup, installing bmad first when the agent has no such skill. Personas offer to install a menu skill that is not present. - Drop user name and language config from skill prose. Release tooling - tools/stamp_release.py writes a version into every manifest and tools/release.md is the runbook. The stamper validates knowledge and roster files, requires and recommends entries, and accepts manifest keys it does not know, since the runtime ignores them. Only the top-level version line is rewritten, and the stamp fails if anything else changed. Still open: update_source points at the cis-skills mirror repository.

longer claim bmad-party-mode reads that standalone file. Then run the knowledge
sync with write enabled so all managed skill copies match the corrected root

- Line 25: Pin all remote skill sources in the setup and missing-skill commands
associated with the BMad manifests to immutable full tree URLs containing the
commit for the declared version, including the BMad 6.13.0 source and each
repository derived from source or update_source; leave the skills CLI version

In `@skills/bmad-cis-agent-presentation-master/SKILL.md`:
- Line 25: Update the BMad setup instruction and storyteller dispatch path to
pin installations to the immutable commit corresponding to the declared version
6.13.0 rather than the repository’s default branch. Use recommends.version and
recommends.source, falling back to update_source, to construct the matching tree
URL; if no commit provides 6.13.0, align the dependency declaration with an
available release before publishing.
In `@skills/bmad-cis-agent-storyteller/module-manifest.toml`:
- Line 8: Update the bmad dependency version in every CIS module manifest to the

while preserving the existing GitHub source. Ensure all ten manifests use the
same published version.
In `@tools/stamp_release.py`:
- Line 45: Replace the deprecated cis-skills source consistently in
UPDATE_SOURCE, every skills/*/module-manifest.toml, and tools/release.md, using
the approved replacement source for the repository, clone URL, push target,

synchronized.
In `@tools/sync_knowledge.py`:
- Line 117: Update the managed-copy flow around shutil.copyfile and
present.unlink to validate every source and target path before reading, writing,
or removing entries: reject symlink components, require resolved sources to
remain under SOURCE, and require resolved targets to remain under the current

| Every `cis` skill names `bmad-meta/cis-roster.toml` under `roster` in its manifest. It gives `bmad-party-mode` the module's personas and two rooms: `creative-studio` (the six personas) and `midnight-salon` (three personas plus guests). Offer them when the user wants several creative perspectives at once; they need `bmad-party-mode` installed. |

💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In BMAD-METHOD version 6.13.0, the bmad-party-mode skill allows users to organize agents into named groups (rosters) for collaborative discussions [1][2]. These groups are configured within the bmad-party-mode settings, typically via a customize.toml file [3][4]. Key concepts for managing party rosters and groups include: Party Groups (party_groups): These are defined as named rooms with specific configurations [3][4]. Each group includes an id, a name, an optional freeform scene (which sets the stage or context for the discussion), and a members list [3][4]. If the members list is omitted, the room is considered open-cast, meaning the model dynamically selects participants based on the scene [3][4]. Members (party_members): These are individual personas defined by their code, name, icon, title, and persona description [4]. You can add custom members to the collective, which are then available to be included in any party group [5][4]. Configuration: - To view available groups, you can use the --list-groups flag, which displays the id, name, and size of each configured group [5]. - To load a specific group, use the --party <id> flag [3][5]. - You can set a default group using the default_party setting in your configuration, allowing that group to load automatically without needing a flag [5][1]. - Customizations are managed through bmad-customize, which helps maintain a sparse override file (e.g., bmad-party-mode.user.toml) rather than modifying base configuration files directly [4][1]. The system supports persistent memory for groups, which can be enabled or disabled per group via the memory flag (defaulting to false) [3][4]. When memory is enabled, the group maintains append-only session context across interactions [2].

Remove the unsupported room advertisement from the shared sources.
bmad-party-mode 6.13.0 consumes installed agents and workflow.party_members/workflow.party_groups customization. It does not consume the standalone bmad-meta/cis-roster.toml, so installing it does not make creative-studio or midnight-salon available.
Remove this room offer and correct the cis-roster.toml comments that claim bmad-party-mode already reads the file. Then run uv run tools/sync_knowledge.py --write so every managed skill copy matches the root sources.

The cis-skills mirror is being removed. update_source now names this repository in every manifest and in the stamper. tools/release.md follows the BMAD-METHOD procedure: dev receives PRs, main is release-only and is what npx skills installs, and a release fast-forwards main to a stamped commit on dev and tags it.
Releases are now a stamped commit promoted from dev to main, so the workflow that ran npm version and pushed to main can no longer be used, and would break main staying an ancestor of dev. package.json loses its release scripts, publishConfig, empty main and bin, and its version: the manifests are the only version source.
…n CI - README installs CIS with npx skills and names the real skills; the old installer command and /cis-* commands no longer exist. - quality.yaml runs tools/sync_knowledge.py, which until now only ran in the local hook, so a PR with stale bmad-meta copies can no longer merge. - 0.3.2 is already released, so the placeholder becomes 0.4.0-next and personas recommend their menu skill at 0.4.0.
