What

Add a capabilities system to platform-codes.yaml so BMAD workflows can adapt behavior based on what the IDE/CLI platform supports — specifically sub-agent delegation, task tracking, and structured user prompting.

Why it would benefit the BMad community

BMAD supports 20+ IDE platforms, but implementation workflows (quick-dev, dev-story) currently have no way to detect and leverage advanced platform features. This means:

• Platforms with rich tool support (like Claude Code's Agent tool, TaskCreate/TaskUpdate) can't be utilized by workflows
• Adding platform-specific instructions to shared workflows would break other platforms
• Users on capable platforms miss out on orchestrator-pattern delegation and structured progress tracking

How it strengthens human-AI collaboration

• Capability-aware workflows automatically use the best available tools — agent delegation when sub-agents exist, direct implementation when they don't
• Task tracking integration gives users structured visibility into implementation progress on platforms that support it
• Extensible by design — as other IDE platforms add capabilities, the community can simply flip flags in platform-codes.yaml without changing workflow logic
