BMad Method

Version License: MIT Node.js Version Discord

Build More Architect Dreams — An AI-driven agile development module for the BMad Method Module Ecosystem, the best and most comprehensive Agile AI Driven Development framework that has true scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.

100% free and open source. No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay for a gated community or courses.

Why the BMad Method?

Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents and facilitated workflows act as expert collaborators who guide you through a structured process to bring out your best thinking in partnership with the AI.

  • AI Intelligent Help — Invoke the bmad-help skill anytime for guidance on what's next
  • Scale-Domain-Adaptive — Automatically adjusts planning depth based on project complexity
  • Structured Workflows — Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
  • Specialized Agents — 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, Scrum Master, and more)
  • Party Mode — Bring multiple agent personas into one session to collaborate and discuss
  • Complete Lifecycle — From brainstorming to deployment

Learn more at docs.bmad-method.org


🚀 What's Next for BMad?

V6 is here and we're just getting started! The BMad Method is evolving rapidly with optimizations including Cross Platform Agent Team and Sub Agent inclusion, Skills Architecture, BMad Builder v1, Dev Loop Automation, and so much more in the works.

📍 Check out the complete Roadmap →


Quick Start

Prerequisites: Node.js v20+

npx bmad-method install

Want the newest prerelease build? Use npx bmad-method@next install. Expect higher churn than the default install.

Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) in your project folder.

Non-Interactive Installation (for CI/CD):

npx bmad-method install --directory /path/to/project --modules bmm --tools claude-code --yes

See all installation options

Not sure what to do? Ask bmad-help — it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask questions like bmad-help I just finished the architecture, what do I do next?

Modules

BMad Method extends with official modules for specialized domains. Available during installation or anytime after.

Module Purpose
BMad Method (BMM) Core framework with 34+ workflows
BMad Builder (BMB) Create custom BMad agents and workflows
Test Architect (TEA) Risk-based test strategy and automation
Game Dev Studio (BMGD) Game development workflows (Unity, Unreal, Godot)
