feat!: integrate actual BMAD-METHOD and Ralph into bmalph
Replace simplified scaffold with actual BMAD agents/workflows and Ralph autonomous loop. bmalph becomes purely the glue layer providing CLI commands, state management, and the transition from BMAD planning output to Ralph implementation input. BREAKING CHANGE: CLI commands changed (removed start/resume/guide, added plan/implement), installed directory structure changed (scaffold/ replaced by _bmad/ + .ralph/), and installer API changed (scaffoldProject replaced by installProject)

# bmalph
2+
3+
Integration layer between [BMAD-METHOD](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD) and [Ralph](https://github.com/snarktank/ralph).
4+
5+
## What is bmalph?
6+
7+
bmalph orchestrates two autonomous systems:
8+
9+
- **BMAD-METHOD** handles structured planning (Analysis → Planning → Solutioning)
10+
- **Ralph** handles autonomous implementation (bash loop, fresh AI instances, fix_plan.md driven)
11+
- **bmalph** provides the glue: CLI commands, state management, phase transitions
12+
13+
## Architecture
14+
15+
```
16+
Phases 1-3 (Planning): BMAD agents + workflows (interactive, command-driven)
17+
Phase 4 (Implementation): Ralph loop (autonomous, bash-driven)
18+
bmalph: CLI + state + transition logic
19+
```
20+
21+
### Directory structure after `bmalph init`
22+
23+
```
24+
project-root/
25+
├── _bmad/ # Actual BMAD agents, workflows, core
26+
├── .ralph/ # Ralph loop, libs, specs, logs
27+
├── bmalph/ # bmalph state (config.json, state/)
28+
└── CLAUDE.md # Updated with BMAD workflow instructions
29+
```
30+
31+
## CLI Commands
32+
33+
| Command | Action |
34+
|---------|--------|
35+
| `bmalph init` | Install BMAD + Ralph, configure project |
36+
| `bmalph plan [--phase 1\|2\|3]` | Set active BMAD phase, show commands |
37+
| `bmalph implement` | Transition: BMAD artifacts → Ralph inputs → start loop |
38+
| `bmalph status` | Show current phase + progress |
39+
| `bmalph reset [--hard]` | Reset state (--hard removes all artifacts) |
40+
41+
## Key Files
42+
43+
- `src/installer.ts` — Copies bmad/ and ralph/ into target project
44+
- `src/transition.ts` — Converts BMAD stories → Ralph @fix_plan.md
45+
- `src/commands/` — CLI command handlers
46+
