FAQPage Schema

How do I automate development loop setup and orchestrator configuration for a new project?▼

Automate development loop setup by running the skill to install the bmad-loop Python package via uv, synchronize project-level configuration files, and register CLI hooks for development workflows.

What is the best way to upgrade an existing automation orchestrator without breaking configuration?▼

Upgrade an existing automation orchestrator by executing the skill, which handles tool installation, synchronizes shared and user-specific YAML files, and applies an anti-zombie cleanup pattern for legacy configurations.

Do I need uv installed to configure the bmad-loop orchestrator?▼

Yes, you need uv installed because the skill manages the installation of the bmad-loop Python package via uv, alongside validating project readiness through preflight checks.

How does preflight validation work when initializing project automation?▼

Preflight validation works by checking project readiness before synchronizing configuration files and registering coding CLI hooks, ensuring your directory is fully prepared for the automation orchestrator.

Can I consolidate user-specific and shared YAML configurations during orchestrator setup?▼

Yes, you can consolidate project settings into shared and user-specific YAML files during orchestrator setup, while the skill simultaneously cleans up legacy configurations to maintain consistency.

Why does my development loop setup fail during CLI hook registration?▼

Development loop setup may fail during CLI hook registration if preflight checks detect an unready project directory, preventing the synchronization of configuration files and help system entries.
