What

Updated Agent Builder analysis tooling to exclude required operational metadata and generated analysis artifacts from agent-source checks.

Why

Root .memlog.md is required for Agent Builder resume detection, while .analysis/ contains generated reports. Treating either as authored agent content creates false-positive lint failures and pollutes later analysis metrics.
Fixes #113

How

  • Exempt root .memlog.md from the “only SKILL.md at skill root” path rule.
  • Exclude .analysis/ from path-standard scans.
  • Exclude .analysis/ from pre-pass file and token counting.

Testing

Ran scan-path-standards.py against an agent containing both .memlog.md and generated .analysis/ reports; it completed with no false positives. Ran prepass.py and verified generated analysis artifacts were absent from its file inventory.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Updated skill validation to recognize .memlog.md files as valid Markdown.
    • Excluded .analysis directories from file scanning and token-counting checks.
    • Improved scan accuracy by preventing internal analysis artifacts from affecting validation results.

Skip the `.analysis` directory in prepass.py and scan-path-standards.py,
and allow the `.memlog.md` append-only process log at the skill root, which
is operational metadata for resume detection rather than a prompt file.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The Agent Builder pre-pass now skips .analysis directories. Path-standard scanning now permits root .memlog.md and excludes .analysis Markdown and JSON files.

Changes

Agent Builder scan updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Exclude analysis output from pre-pass metrics
skills/bmad-agent-builder/scripts/prepass.py
The file traversal skips .analysis directories when counting agent files.
Update path-standard scan rules
skills/bmad-agent-builder/scripts/scan-path-standards.py
The root .memlog.md file is allowed, and recursively discovered Markdown and JSON files under .analysis are excluded.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1657e

The change excludes generated analysis artifacts but still leaves the required root .memlog.md exposed to source metrics and path checks, so valid agents may continue to trigger false-positive failures and inaccurate analysis counts. Merge should wait until both scans consistently exempt this file.

Poem

A rabbit checks the builder’s trail,
Skips analysis in the leafy dale.
The memlog rests where logs belong,
Clean scans now hop along.

Exclude operational .memlog.md from source-only analysis.

The structural whitelist does not remove the file from downstream source metrics or path scanning.
