Previously, the installer created empty tasks/ directories under
.claude/commands/bmad/{module}/ and attempted to copy task files.
Since getTasksFromDir() filters for .md files only and all actual
tasks are .xml files, these directories remained empty.
Tasks are utility files referenced by agents via exec attributes
(e.g., exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml") and
should remain in the bmad/ directory - they are not slash commands.
Changes:
- Removed tasks directory creation in module setup
- Removed tasks copying logic (15 lines)
- Removed taskCount from console output
- Removed tasks property from return value
- Removed unused getTasksFromBmad and getTasksFromDir imports
- Updated comment to clarify agents-only installation
Verified: No tasks/ directories created in .claude/commands/bmad/
while task files remain accessible in bmad/core/tasks/

Summary
Removes the creation and copying logic for empty
tasks/directories in the Claude Code installerthat served no purpose.
What Changed
In
tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/claude-code.js:tasks/subdirectories under.claude/commands/bmad/{module}/.mdfiles frombmad/{module}/tasks/tasksproperty from installer return valueWhy
Tasks are utility files referenced by agents via
exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml". They live in thebmad/directory and areNOT meant to be slash commands in Claude Code.
Testing
npm run install:bmadfind .claude/commands/bmad -type d -name "tasks"(shouldreturn nothing)
ls -la .claude/commands/bmad/bmm/agents/ls -la bmad/core/tasks//pm→*prd)Notes
bmad-artifacts.jsremains unchanged as it's shared across installers
