# audit-file-refs
Audit new-format BMAD source files for file-reference convention violations using parallel Haiku subagents.
## Convention
In new-format BMAD workflow and task files (`src/bmm/`, `src/core/`, `src/utility/`), every file path reference must use one of these **valid** forms:
- `{project-root}/_bmad/path/to/file.ext` — canonical form, always correct
- `{installed_path}/relative/path` — valid in new-format step files (always defined by workflow.md before any step is reached)
- Template/runtime variables: `{nextStepFile}`, `{workflowFile}`, `{{mustache}}`, `{output_folder}`, `{communication_language}`, etc. — skip these, they are substituted at runtime
**Flag any reference that uses:**
- `./step-NN.md` or `../something.md` — relative paths
- `step-NN.md` — bare filename with no path prefix
- `steps/step-NN.md` — bare steps-relative path (missing `{project-root}/_bmad/...` prefix)
- `` `_bmad/core/tasks/help.md` `` — bare `_bmad/` path (missing `{project-root}/`)
- `/Users/...`, `/home/...`, `C:\...` — absolute system paths
References inside fenced code blocks (``` ``` ```) are examples — skip them.
Old-format files in `src/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/` use `{installed_path}` by design within the XML calling chain — exclude that directory entirely.
## Steps
1. Run this command to get the file list:
```
find src/bmm src/core src/utility -type f \( -name "*.md" -o -name "*.yaml" \) | grep -v "4-implementation" | sort
```
2. Divide the resulting file paths into batches of roughly 20 files each.
3. For each batch, spawn a subagent (`subagent_type: "Explore"`, `model: "haiku"`) with this prompt (fill in the actual file paths):
> Read each of these files (use the Read tool on each):
> [list the file paths from this batch]
>
> For each file, identify every line that contains a file path reference that violates the convention described below. Skip references inside fenced code blocks. Skip template variables (anything containing `{` that isn't `{project-root}` or `{installed_path}`).
>
> **Valid references:** `{project-root}/_bmad/...`, `{installed_path}/...`, template variables.
> **Flag:** bare filenames (`step-NN.md`), `./` or `../` relative paths, bare `steps/` paths, bare `_bmad/` paths (without `{project-root}/`), absolute system paths.
>
> Return findings as a list:
> `path/to/file.md:LINE_NUMBER | VIOLATION_TYPE | offending text`
>
> If a file has no violations, include it as: `path/to/file.md | clean`
>
> End your response with a single line: `FILES CHECKED: N` where N is the exact number of files you read.
4. Collect all findings from all subagents.
5. **Self-check before reporting:** Count the total number of files returned by the `find` command. Sum the `FILES CHECKED: N` values across all subagent responses. If the totals do not match, identify which files are missing and re-run subagents for those files before proceeding. Do not produce the final report until all files are accounted for.
6. Output a final report:
- Group findings by violation type
- List each finding as `file:line — offending text`
- Show total count of violations and number of affected files
- If nothing found, say "All files conform to the convention."

description: Generate social media announcements for Discord, Twitter, and LinkedIn from the latest changelog entry. Use when user asks to 'create release announcement' or 'create social posts' or share changelog updates.
---
# Changelog Social
Generate engaging social media announcements from changelog entries.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Extract Changelog Entry
Read `./CHANGELOG.md` and extract the latest version entry. The changelog follows this format:
```markdown
## [VERSION]
### 🎁 Features
* **Title** — Description
### 🐛 Bug Fixes
* **Title** — Description
### 📚 Documentation
* **Title** — Description
### 🔧 Maintenance
* **Title** — Description
```
Parse:
- **Version number** (e.g., `6.0.0-Beta.5`)
- **Features** - New functionality, enhancements
- **Bug Fixes** - Fixes users will care about
- **Documentation** - New or improved docs
- **Maintenance** - Dependency updates, tooling improvements
### Step 2: Get Git Contributors
Use git log to find contributors since the previous version. Get commits between the current version tag and the previous one:
```bash
# Find the previous version tag first
git tag --sort=-version:refname | head -5
# Get commits between versions with PR numbers and authors
git log <previous-tag>..<current-tag> --pretty=format:"%h|%s|%an" --grep="#"
```
Extract PR numbers from commit messages that contain `#` followed by digits. Compile unique contributors.
### Step 3: Generate Discord Announcement
**Limit: 2,000 characters per message.** Split into multiple messages if needed.
Use this template style:
```markdown
🚀 **BMad vVERSION RELEASED!**
🎉 [Brief hype sentence]
🪥 **KEY HIGHLIGHT** - [One-line summary]
🎯 **CATEGORY NAME**
• Feature one - brief description
• Feature two - brief description
• Coming soon: Future teaser
🔧 **ANOTHER CATEGORY**
• Fix or feature
• Another item
📚 **DOCS OR OTHER**
• Item
• Item with link
🌟 **COMMUNITY PHILOSOPHY** (optional - include for major releases)
• Everything is FREE - No paywalls
• Knowledge shared, not sold
📊 **STATS**
X commits | Y PRs merged | Z files changed
🙏 **CONTRIBUTORS**
@username1 (X PRs!), @username2 (Y PRs!)
@username3, @username4, username5 + dependabot 🛡️
Community-driven FTW! 🌟
📦 **INSTALL:**
`npx bmad-method@VERSION install`
⭐ **SUPPORT US:**
🌟 GitHub: github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/
📺 YouTube: youtube.com/@BMadCode
☕ Donate: buymeacoffee.com/bmad
🔥 **Next version tease!**
```
**Content Strategy:**
- Focus on **user impact** - what's better for them?
- Highlight **annoying bugs fixed** that frustrated users
- Show **new capabilities** that enable workflows
- Keep it **punchy** - use emojis and short bullets
- Add **personality** - excitement, humor, gratitude
### Step 4: Generate Twitter Post
**Limit: 25,000 characters per tweet (Premium).** With Premium, use a single comprehensive post matching the Discord style (minus Discord-specific formatting). Aim for 1,500-3,000 characters for better engagement.
**Threads are optional** — only use for truly massive releases where you want multiple engagement points.
See `examples/twitter-example.md` for the single-post Premium format.
## Content Selection Guidelines
**Include:**
- New features that change workflows
- Bug fixes for annoying/blocking issues
- Documentation that helps users
- Performance improvements
- New agents or workflows
- Breaking changes (call out clearly)
**Skip/Minimize:**
- Internal refactoring
- Dependency updates (unless user-facing)
- Test improvements
- Minor style fixes
**Emphasize:**
- "Finally fixed" issues
- "Faster" operations
- "Easier" workflows
- "Now supports" capabilities
## Examples
Reference example posts in `examples/` for tone and formatting guidance:
- **discord-example.md** — Full Discord announcement with emojis, sections, contributor shout-outs
- **twitter-example.md** — Twitter thread format (5 tweets max for major releases)
- **linkedin-example.md** — Professional post for major/minor releases with significant features
**When to use LinkedIn:**
- Major version releases (e.g., v6.0.0 Beta, v7.0.0)
- Minor releases with exceptional new features
- Community milestone announcements
Read the appropriate example file before generating to match the established style and voice.
## Output Format
**CRITICAL: ALWAYS write to files** - Create files in `_bmad-output/social/` directory:
1. `{repo-name}-discord-{version}.md` - Discord announcement
2. `{repo-name}-twitter-{version}.md` - Twitter post
3. `{repo-name}-linkedin-{version}.md` - LinkedIn post (if applicable)
Also present a preview in the chat:
```markdown
## Discord Announcement
[paste Discord content here]
## Twitter Post
[paste Twitter content here]
```
Files created:
- `_bmad-output/social/{filename}`
Offer to make adjustments if the user wants different emphasis, tone, or content.

# Diataxis Style Fixer
Automatically fixes documentation to comply with the Diataxis framework and BMad Method style guide.
## CRITICAL RULES
- **NEVER commit or push changes** — let the user review first
- **NEVER make destructive edits** — preserve all content, only fix formatting
- **Use Edit tool** — make targeted fixes, not full file rewrites
- **Show summary** — after fixing, list all changes made
## Input
Documentation file path or directory to fix. Defaults to `docs/` if not specified.
## Step 1: Understand Diataxis Framework
**Diataxis** is a documentation framework that categorizes content into four types based on two axes:
| | **Learning** (oriented toward future) | **Doing** (oriented toward present) |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Practical** | **Tutorials** — lessons that guide learners through achieving a specific goal | **How-to guides** — step-by-step instructions for solving a specific problem |
| **Conceptual** | **Explanation** — content that clarifies and describes underlying concepts | **Reference** — technical descriptions, organized for lookup |
**Key principles:**
- Each document type serves a distinct user need
- Don't mix types — a tutorial shouldn't explain concepts deeply
- Focus on the user's goal, not exhaustive coverage
- Structure follows purpose (tutorials are linear, reference is scannable)
## Step 2: Read the Style Guide
Read the project's style guide at `docs/_STYLE_GUIDE.md` to understand all project-specific conventions.
## Step 3: Detect Document Type
Based on file location, determine the document type:
| Location | Diataxis Type |
| -------------------- | -------------------- |
| `/docs/tutorials/` | Tutorial |
| `/docs/how-to/` | How-to guide |
| `/docs/explanation/` | Explanation |
| `/docs/reference/` | Reference |
| `/docs/glossary/` | Reference (glossary) |
## Step 4: Find and Fix Issues
For each markdown file, scan for issues and fix them:
### Universal Fixes (All Doc Types)
**Horizontal Rules (`---`)**
- Remove any `---` outside of YAML frontmatter
- Replace with `##` section headers or admonitions as appropriate
**`####` Headers**
- Replace with bold text: `#### Header` → `**Header**`
- Or convert to admonition if it's a warning/notice
**"Related" or "Next:" Sections**
- Remove entire section including links
- The sidebar handles navigation
**Deeply Nested Lists**
- Break into sections with `##` headers
- Flatten to max 3 levels
**Code Blocks for Dialogue/Examples**
- Convert to admonitions:
```
:::note[Example]
[content]
:::
```
**Bold Paragraph Callouts**
- Convert to admonitions with appropriate type
**Too Many Admonitions**
- Limit to 1-2 per section (tutorials allow 3-4 per major section)
- Consolidate related admonitions
- Remove less critical ones if over limit
**Table Cells / List Items > 2 Sentences**
- Break into multiple rows/cells
- Or shorten to 1-2 sentences
**Header Budget Exceeded**
- Merge related sections
- Convert some `##` to `###` subsections

# Draft Changelog Execution
## ⚠️ IMPORTANT - READ FIRST
**This skill ONLY updates CHANGELOG.md. That is its entire purpose.**
- **DO** update CHANGELOG.md with the new version entry
- **DO** present the draft for user review before editing
- **DO NOT** trigger any GitHub release workflows
- **DO NOT** run any other skills or workflows automatically
- **DO NOT** make any commits
After the changelog is complete, you may suggest the user can run `/release-module` if they want to proceed with the actual release — but NEVER trigger it yourself.
## Input
Project path (or run from project root)
## Step 1: Identify Current State
- Get the latest released tag
- Get current version
- Verify there are commits since the last release
## Step 2: Launch Explore Agent
Use `thoroughness: "very thorough"` to analyze all changes since the last release tag.
**Key: For each merge commit, look up the merged PR/issue that was closed.**
- Use `gh pr view` or git commit body to find the PR number
- Read the PR description and comments to understand full context
- Don't rely solely on commit merge messages - they lack context
**Analyze:**
1. **All merges/commits** since the last tag
2. **For each merge, read the original PR/issue** that was closed
3. **Files changed** with statistics
4. **Categorize changes:**
- 🎁 **Features** - New functionality, new agents, new workflows
- 🐛 **Bug Fixes** - Fixed bugs, corrected issues
- ♻️ **Refactoring** - Code improvements, reorganization
- 📚 **Documentation** - Docs updates, README changes
- 🔧 **Maintenance** - Dependency updates, tooling, infrastructure
- 💥 **Breaking Changes** - Changes that may affect users
**Provide:**
- Comprehensive summary of ALL changes with PR context
- Categorization of each change
- Identification of breaking changes
- Significance assessment (major/minor/trivial)
## Step 3: Generate Draft Changelog
Format:
```markdown
## v0.X.X - [Date]
* [Change 1 - categorized by type]
* [Change 2]
```
Guidelines:
- Present tense ("Fix bug" not "Fixed bug")
- Most significant changes first
- Group related changes
- Clear, concise language
- For breaking changes, clearly indicate impact
## Step 4: Present Draft & Update CHANGELOG.md
Show the draft with current version, last tag, commit count, and options to edit/retry.
When user accepts:
1. Update CHANGELOG.md with the new entry (insert at top, after `# Changelog` header)
2. STOP. That's it. You're done.
You may optionally suggest: *"When ready, you can run `/release-module` to create the actual release."*
**DO NOT:**
- Trigger any GitHub workflows
- Run any other skills
- Make any commits
- Do anything beyond updating CHANGELOG.md

You are analyzing a batch of GitHub issues for deep understanding and triage.
**YOUR TASK:**
Read the issues in your batch and provide DEEP analysis:
1. **For EACH issue, analyze:**
- What is this ACTUALLY about? (beyond keywords)
- What component/system does it affect?
- What's the impact and severity?
- Is it a bug, feature request, or something else?
- What specific theme does it belong to?
2. **PRIORITY ASSESSMENT:**
- CRITICAL: Blocks users, security issues, data loss, broken installers
- HIGH: Major functionality broken, important features missing
- MEDIUM: Workarounds available, minor bugs, nice-to-have features
- LOW: Edge cases, cosmetic issues, questions
3. **RELATIONSHIPS:**
- Duplicates: Near-identical issues about the same problem
- Related: Issues connected by theme or root cause

# GitHub Issue Triage with AI Analysis
**CRITICAL RULES:**
- NEVER include time or effort estimates in output or recommendations
- Focus on WHAT needs to be done, not HOW LONG it takes
- Use Bash tool with gh CLI for all GitHub operations
## Execution
### Step 1: Fetch Issues
Use `gh issue list --json number,title,body,labels` to fetch all open issues.
### Step 2: Batch Creation
Split issues into batches of ~10 issues each for parallel analysis.
### Step 3: Parallel Agent Analysis
For EACH batch, use the Task tool with `subagent_type=general-purpose` to launch an agent with prompt from `prompts/agent-prompt.md`
### Step 4: Consolidate & Generate Report
After all agents complete, create a comprehensive markdown report saved to `_bmad-output/triage-reports/triage-YYYY-MM-DD.md`
## Report Format
### Executive Summary
- Total issues analyzed
- Issue count by priority (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
- Major themes discovered
- Top 5 critical issues requiring immediate attention
### Critical Issues (CRITICAL Priority)
For each CRITICAL issue:
- **#123 - [Issue Title](url)**
- **What it's about:** [Deep understanding]
- **Affected:** [Components]
- **Why Critical:** [Rationale]
- **Suggested Action:** [Specific action]
### High Priority Issues (HIGH Priority)
Same format as Critical, grouped by theme.
### Theme Clusters
For each major theme:
- **Theme Name** (N issues)
- **What connects these:** [Pattern]
- **Root cause:** [If identifiable]
- **Consolidated actions:** [Bulk actions if applicable]
- **Issues:** #123, #456, #789
### Relationships & Dependencies
- **Duplicates:** List pairs with `gh issue close` commands
- **Related Issues:** Groups of related issues
- **Dependencies:** Blocking relationships
### Cross-Repo Issues
Issues that should be migrated to other repositories.
For each, provide:
```
gh issue close XXX --repo CURRENT_REPO --comment "This issue belongs in REPO. Please report at https://github.com/TARGET_REPO/issues/new"
```
### Cleanup Candidates
- **v4-related:** Deprecated version issues with close commands
- **Stale:** No activity >30 days
- **Low priority + old:** Low priority issues >60 days old
### Actionable Next Steps
Specific, prioritized actions:
1. [CRITICAL] Fix broken installer - affects all new users
2. [HIGH] Resolve Windows path escaping issues
3. [HIGH] Address workflow integration bugs
etc.
Include `gh` commands where applicable for bulk actions.

# Raven's Verdict - Deep PR Review Tool
A cynical adversarial review, transformed into cold engineering professionalism.
## CRITICAL: Sandboxed Execution Rules
Before proceeding, you MUST verify:
- [ ] PR number or URL was EXPLICITLY provided in the user's message
- [ ] You are NOT inferring the PR from conversation history
- [ ] You are NOT looking at git branches, recent commits, or local state
- [ ] You are NOT guessing or assuming any PR numbers
**If no explicit PR number/URL was provided, STOP immediately and ask:**
"What PR number or URL should I review?"
## Preflight Checks
### 0.1 Parse PR Input
Extract PR number from user input. Examples of valid formats:
- `123` (just the number)
- `#123` (with hash)
- `https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123` (full URL)
If a URL specifies a different repository than the current one:
```bash
# Check current repo
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q '.nameWithOwner'
```
If mismatch detected, ask user:
> "This PR is from `{detected_repo}` but we're in `{current_repo}`. Proceed with reviewing `{detected_repo}#123`? (y/n)"
If user confirms, store `{REPO}` for use in all subsequent `gh` commands.
### 0.2 Ensure Clean Checkout
Verify the working tree is clean and check out the PR branch.
```bash
# Check for uncommitted changes
git status --porcelain
```
If output is non-empty, STOP and tell user:
> "You have uncommitted changes. Please commit or stash them before running a PR review."
If clean, fetch and checkout the PR branch:
```bash
# Fetch and checkout PR branch
# For cross-repo PRs, include --repo {REPO}
gh pr checkout {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}]
```
If checkout fails, STOP and report the error.
Now you're on the PR branch with full access to all files as they exist in the PR.
### 0.3 Check PR Size
```bash
# For cross-repo PRs, include --repo {REPO}
gh pr view {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}] --json additions,deletions,changedFiles -q '{"additions": .additions, "deletions": .deletions, "files": .changedFiles}'
```
**Size thresholds:**
| Metric | Warning Threshold |
| ------------- | ----------------- |
| Files changed | > 50 |
| Lines changed | > 5000 |
If thresholds exceeded, ask user:
> "This PR has {X} files and {Y} line changes. That's large.
>
> **[f] Focus** - Pick specific files or directories to review
> **[p] Proceed** - Review everything (may be slow/expensive)
> **[a] Abort** - Stop here"
### 0.4 Note Binary Files
```bash
# For cross-repo PRs, include --repo {REPO}
gh pr diff {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}] --name-only | grep -E '\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot|pdf|zip|tar|gz|bin|exe|dll|so|dylib)$' || echo "No binary files detected"
```
Store list of binary files to skip. Note them in final output.
## Adversarial Review
### 1.1 Run Cynical Review
**INTERNAL PERSONA - Never post this directly:**
Task: You are a cynical, jaded code reviewer with zero patience for sloppy work. This PR was submitted by a clueless weasel and you expect to find problems. Find at least five issues to fix or improve in it. Number them. Be skeptical of everything. Ultrathink.
Output format:
```markdown
### [NUMBER]. [FINDING TITLE] [likely]
**Severity:** [EMOJI] [LEVEL]
[DESCRIPTION - be specific, include file:line references]
```
Severity scale:
| Level | Emoji | Meaning |
| -------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Critical | 🔴 | Security issue, data loss risk, or broken functionality |
| Moderate | 🟡 | Bug, performance issue, or significant code smell |
| Minor | 🟢 | Style, naming, minor improvement opportunity |
Likely tag:
- Add `[likely]` to findings with high confidence, e.g. with direct evidence
- Sort findings by severity (Critical → Moderate → Minor), not by confidence
## Tone Transformation
**Transform the cynical output into cold engineering professionalism.**
**Transformation rules:**
1. Remove all inflammatory language, insults, assumptions about the author
2. Keep all technical substance, file references, severity ratings and likely tag
3. Replace accusatory phrasing with neutral observations:
- ❌ "The author clearly didn't think about..."
- ✅ "This implementation may not account for..."
4. Preserve skepticism as healthy engineering caution:
- ❌ "This will definitely break in production"
- ✅ "This pattern has historically caused issues in production environments"
5. Add the suggested fixes.
6. Keep suggestions actionable and specific
Output format after transformation:
```markdown
## PR Review: #{PR_NUMBER}
**Title:** {PR_TITLE}
**Author:** @{AUTHOR}
**Branch:** {HEAD} → {BASE}
---
### Findings
[TRANSFORMED FINDINGS HERE]
---
### Summary
**Critical:** {COUNT} | **Moderate:** {COUNT} | **Minor:** {COUNT}
[BINARY_FILES_NOTE if any]
---
_Review generated by Raven's Verdict. LLM-produced analysis - findings may be incorrect or lack context. Verify before acting._
```
## Post Review
### 3.1 Preview
Display the complete transformed review to the user.
```
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PREVIEW - This will be posted to PR #{PR_NUMBER}
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
[FULL REVIEW CONTENT]
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
```
### 3.2 Confirm
Ask user for explicit confirmation:
> **Ready to post this review to PR #{PR_NUMBER}?**
>
> **[y] Yes** - Post as comment
> **[n] No** - Abort, do not post
> **[e] Edit** - Let me modify before posting
> **[s] Save only** - Save locally, don't post
### 3.3 Post or Save
**Write review to a temp file, then post:**
1. Write the review content to a temp file with a unique name (include PR number to avoid collisions)
2. Post using `gh pr comment {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}] --body-file {path}`
3. Delete the temp file after successful post
Do NOT use heredocs or `echo` - Markdown code blocks will break shell parsing. Use your file writing tool instead.
**If auth fails or post fails:**
1. Display error prominently:
```
⚠️ FAILED TO POST REVIEW
Error: {ERROR_MESSAGE}
```
2. Keep the temp file and tell the user where it is, so they can post manually with:
`gh pr comment {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}] --body-file {path}`
**If save only (s):**
Keep the temp file and inform user of location.
## Notes
- The "cynical asshole" phase is internal only - never posted
- Tone transform MUST happen before any external output
- When in doubt, ask the user - never assume
- If you're unsure about severity, err toward higher severity
- If you're unsure about confidence, be honest and use Medium or Low

# Bug-Fix Root Cause Analysis
Analyze a bug-fix commit or PR and produce a structured Root Cause Analysis report.
## Principles
- **Direct attribution.** This report names the individual who introduced the defect. Industry convention advocates blameless postmortems. This skill deliberately deviates: naming the individual and trusting them to own it is more respectful than diffusing accountability into systemic abstraction. Direct, factual, not accusatory. If authorship can't be determined confidently, say so.
- **Pyramid communication.** The executive summary must convey the full picture. A reader who stops after the first paragraph gets the gist. Everything else is supporting evidence.
## Preflight
Verify `gh auth status` and that you're in a git repository. Stop with a clear message if either fails.
## Execution
1. **Identify the fix.** Accept whatever the user provides — commit SHA, PR, issue, description. Resolve to the specific fix commit/PR using `gh` and `git`. If ambiguous, ask. Confirm the change is actually a bug fix before proceeding.
2. **Gather evidence.** Read the fix diff, PR/issue discussion, and use blame/log to identify the commit that introduced the bug. Collect timeline data.
3. **Analyze.** Apply 5 Whys. Classify the root cause. Identify contributing factors.
4. **Evaluate guardrails.** Inspect the actual repo configuration (CI workflows, linter configs, test setup) — don't assume. For each applicable guardrail, explain specifically why it missed this bug.
5. **Write the report** to `_bmad-output/rca-reports/rca-{YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}.md`. Present the executive summary in chat.
## Report Structure
```markdown
# Root Cause Analysis: {Bug Title}
**Date:** {today}
**Fix:** {PR link or commit SHA}
**Severity:** {Critical | High | Medium | Low}
**Root Cause Category:** {Requirements | Design | Code Logic | Test Gap | Process | Environment/Config}
## Executive Summary
{One paragraph. What the bug was, root cause, who introduced it and when, detection
latency (introduced → detected), severity, and the key preventive recommendation.}
## What Was the Problem?
## When Did It Happen?
| Event | Date | Reference |
|-------|------|-----------|
| Introduced | | |
| Detected | | |
| Fixed | | |
| **Detection Latency** | **{introduced → detected}** | |
## Who Caused It?
{Author, commit/PR that introduced the defect, and the context — what were they
trying to do?}
## How Did It Happen?
## Why Did It Happen?
{5 Whys analysis. Root cause category. Contributing factors.}
## Failed Guardrails Analysis
| Guardrail | In Place? | Why It Failed |
|-----------|-----------|---------------|
| | | |
**Most Critical Failure:** {Which one mattered most and why.}
## Resolution
## Corrective & Preventive Actions
| # | Action | Type | Priority |
|---|--------|------|----------|
| | | {Prevent/Detect/Mitigate} | |

You are a cynical, jaded reviewer with zero patience for sloppy work.
This PR was submitted by a clueless weasel and you expect to find problems.
Be skeptical of everything.
Look for what's missing, not just what's wrong.
Use a precise, professional tone — no profanity or personal attacks.
Review with extreme skepticism — assume problems exist.
Find at least 10 issues to fix or improve.
Do NOT:
- Comment on formatting, linting, or style
- Give "looks good" passes
- Anchor on any specific ruleset — reason freely
If you find zero issues, re-analyze — this is suspicious.

All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
reporter of any incident.
## Enforcement Guidelines
Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
### 1. Correction
**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
### 2. Warning
**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
of actions.
**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
permanent ban.
### 3. Temporary Ban
**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
sustained inappropriate behavior.
**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
### 4. Permanent Ban
**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
the community.

# Contributing to BMad
Thank you for considering contributing! We believe in **Human Amplification, Not Replacement** — bringing out the best thinking in both humans and AI through guided collaboration.
💬 **Discord**: [Join our community](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) for real-time discussions, questions, and collaboration.
---
## Our Philosophy
BMad strengthens human-AI collaboration through specialized agents and guided workflows. Every contribution should answer: **"Does this make humans and AI better together?"**
**✅ What we welcome:**
- Enhanced collaboration patterns and workflows
- Improved agent personas and prompts
- Domain-specific modules leveraging BMad Core
- Better planning and context continuity
**❌ What doesn't fit:**
- Purely automated solutions that sideline humans
- Complexity that creates barriers to adoption
- Features that fragment BMad Core's foundation

## Reporting Issues
**ALL bug reports and feature requests MUST go through GitHub Issues.**
### Before Creating an Issue
1. **Search existing issues** — Use the GitHub issue search to check if your bug or feature has already been reported
2. **Search closed issues** — Your issue may have been fixed or addressed previously
3. **Check discussions** — Some conversations happen in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/discussions)
### Bug Reports
After searching, if the bug is unreported, use the [bug report template](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/issues/new?template=bug_report.md) and include:
- Clear description of the problem
- Steps to reproduce
- Expected vs actual behavior
- Your environment (model, IDE, BMad version)
- Screenshots or error messages if applicable
### Feature Requests
After searching, use the [feature request template](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/issues/new?template=feature_request.md) and explain:
- What the feature is
- Why it would benefit the BMad community
- How it strengthens human-AI collaboration
**For community modules**, review [TRADEMARK.md](TRADEMARK.md) for proper naming conventions (e.g., "My Module (BMad Community Module)").
---
## Before Starting Work
⚠️ **Required before submitting PRs:**
| Work Type | Requirement |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Bug fix | An open issue (create one if it doesn't exist) |
| Feature | An open feature request issue |
| Large changes | Discussion via issue first |
**Why?** This prevents wasted effort on work that may not align with project direction.
---
## Pull Request Guidelines
### Target Branch
Submit PRs to the `main` branch. We use [trunk-based development](https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/branch-for-release/): `main` is the trunk where all work lands, and stable release branches receive only cherry-picked fixes.
### PR Size
- **Ideal**: 200-400 lines of code changes
- **Maximum**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
- **One feature/fix per PR**
If your change exceeds 800 lines, break it into smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently.
### New to Pull Requests?
1. **Fork** the repository
2. **Clone** your fork: `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/bmad-method.git`
3. **Create a branch**: `git checkout -b fix/description` or `git checkout -b feature/description`
4. **Make changes** — keep them focused
5. **Commit**: `git commit -m "fix: correct typo in README"`
6. **Push**: `git push origin fix/description`
7. **Open PR** from your fork on GitHub
### PR Description Template
```markdown
## What
[1-2 sentences describing WHAT changed]
## Why
[1-2 sentences explaining WHY this change is needed]
Fixes #[issue number]
## How
- [2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
-
## Testing
[1-2 sentences on how you tested this]
```
**Keep it under 200 words.**
### Commit Messages
Use conventional commits:
- `feat:` New feature
- `fix:` Bug fix
- `docs:` Documentation only
- `refactor:` Code change (no bug/feature)
- `test:` Adding tests
- `chore:` Build/tools changes
Keep messages under 72 characters. Each commit = one logical change.
---
## What Makes a Good PR?
| ✅ Do | ❌ Don't |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Change one thing per PR | Mix unrelated changes |
| Clear title and description | Vague or missing explanation |
| Reference related issues | Reformat entire files |
| Small, focused commits | Copy your whole project |
| Work on a branch | Work directly on `main` |
---
## Prompt & Agent Guidelines
- Keep dev agents lean — focus on coding context, not documentation
- Web/planning agents can be larger with complex tasks
- Everything is natural language (markdown) — no code in core framework
- Use BMad modules for domain-specific features
- Validate YAML schemas: `npm run validate:schemas`
- Validate file references: `npm run validate:refs`
### File-Pattern-to-Validator Mapping
| File Pattern | Validator | Extraction Function |
| ------------ | --------- | ------------------- |
| `*.yaml`, `*.yml` | `validate-file-refs.js` | `extractYamlRefs` |
| `*.md`, `*.xml` | `validate-file-refs.js` | `extractMarkdownRefs` |
| `*.csv` | `validate-file-refs.js` | `extractCsvRefs` |

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** — Ask `/bmad-help` 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**](https://docs.bmad-method.org)

# Security Policy
## Supported Versions
We release security patches for the following versions:
| Version | Supported |
| ------- | ------------------ |
| Latest | :white_check_mark: |
| < Latest | :x: |
We recommend always using the latest version of BMad Method to ensure you have the most recent security updates.
## Reporting a Vulnerability
We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please report it responsibly.
### How to Report
**Do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
Instead, please report them via one of these methods:
1. **GitHub Security Advisories** (Preferred): Use [GitHub's private vulnerability reporting](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/security/advisories/new) to submit a confidential report.
2. **Discord**: Contact a maintainer directly via DM on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj).
### What to Include
Please include as much of the following information as possible:
- Type of vulnerability (e.g., prompt injection, path traversal, etc.)
- Full paths of source file(s) related to the vulnerability
- Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
- Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if available)
- Impact assessment of the vulnerability
### Response Timeline
- **Initial Response**: Within 48 hours of receiving your report
- **Status Update**: Within 7 days with our assessment
- **Resolution Target**: Critical issues within 30 days; other issues within 90 days
### What to Expect
1. We will acknowledge receipt of your report
2. We will investigate and validate the vulnerability
3. We will work on a fix and coordinate disclosure timing with you
4. We will credit you in the security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
## Security Scope
### In Scope
- Vulnerabilities in BMad Method core framework code
- Security issues in agent definitions or workflows that could lead to unintended behavior
- Path traversal or file system access issues
- Prompt injection vulnerabilities that bypass intended agent behavior
- Supply chain vulnerabilities in dependencies
### Out of Scope
- Security issues in user-created custom agents or modules
- Vulnerabilities in third-party AI providers (Claude, GPT, etc.)
- Issues that require physical access to a user's machine
- Social engineering attacks
- Denial of service attacks that don't exploit a specific vulnerability
## Security Best Practices for Users
When using BMad Method:
1. **Review Agent Outputs**: Always review AI-generated code before executing it
2. **Limit File Access**: Configure your AI IDE to limit file system access where possible
3. **Keep Updated**: Regularly update to the latest version
4. **Validate Dependencies**: Review any dependencies added by generated code
5. **Environment Isolation**: Consider running AI-assisted development in isolated environments
## Acknowledgments
We appreciate the security research community's efforts in helping keep BMad Method secure. Contributors who report valid security issues will be acknowledged in our security advisories.

title: "Advanced Elicitation"
description: Push the LLM to rethink its work using structured reasoning methods
sidebar:
order: 6
---
Make the LLM reconsider what it just generated. You pick a reasoning method, it applies that method to its own output, you decide whether to keep the improvements.
## What is Advanced Elicitation?
A structured second pass. Instead of asking the AI to "try again" or "make it better," you select a specific reasoning method and the AI re-examines its own output through that lens.
The difference matters. Vague requests produce vague revisions. A named method forces a particular angle of attack, surfacing insights that a generic retry would miss.
## When to Use It
- After a workflow generates content and you want alternatives
- When output seems okay but you suspect there's more depth
- To stress-test assumptions or find weaknesses
- For high-stakes content where rethinking helps
Workflows offer advanced elicitation at decision points - after the LLM has generated something, you'll be asked if you want to run it.
## How It Works
1. LLM suggests 5 relevant methods for your content
2. You pick one (or reshuffle for different options)
3. Method is applied, improvements shown
4. Accept or discard, repeat or continue
## Built-in Methods
Dozens of reasoning methods are available. A few examples:
- **Pre-mortem Analysis** - Assume the project already failed, work backward to find why
- **First Principles Thinking** - Strip away assumptions, rebuild from ground truth
- **Inversion** - Ask how to guarantee failure, then avoid those things
- **Red Team vs Blue Team** - Attack your own work, then defend it
- **Socratic Questioning** - Challenge every claim with "why?" and "how do you know?"
- **Constraint Removal** - Drop all constraints, see what changes, add them back selectively
- **Stakeholder Mapping** - Re-evaluate from each stakeholder's perspective
- **Analogical Reasoning** - Find parallels in other domains and apply their lessons
And many more. The AI picks the most relevant options for your content - you choose which to run.
:::tip[Start Here]
Pre-mortem Analysis is a good first pick for any spec or plan. It consistently finds gaps that a standard review misses.

title: "Adversarial Review"
description: Forced reasoning technique that prevents lazy "looks good" reviews
sidebar:
order: 5
---
Force deeper analysis by requiring problems to be found.
## What is Adversarial Review?
A review technique where the reviewer *must* find issues. No "looks good" allowed. The reviewer adopts a cynical stance - assume problems exist and find them.
This isn't about being negative. It's about forcing genuine analysis instead of a cursory glance that rubber-stamps whatever was submitted.
**The core rule:** You must find issues. Zero findings triggers a halt - re-analyze or explain why.
## Why It Works
Normal reviews suffer from confirmation bias. You skim the work, nothing jumps out, you approve it. The "find problems" mandate breaks this pattern:
- **Forces thoroughness** - Can't approve until you've looked hard enough to find issues
- **Catches missing things** - "What's not here?" becomes a natural question
- **Improves signal quality** - Findings are specific and actionable, not vague concerns
- **Information asymmetry** - Run reviews with fresh context (no access to original reasoning) so you evaluate the artifact, not the intent
## Where It's Used
Adversarial review appears throughout BMad workflows - code review, implementation readiness checks, spec validation, and others. Sometimes it's a required step, sometimes optional (like advanced elicitation or party mode). The pattern adapts to whatever artifact needs scrutiny.
## Human Filtering Required
Because the AI is *instructed* to find problems, it will find problems - even when they don't exist. Expect false positives: nitpicks dressed as issues, misunderstandings of intent, or outright hallucinated concerns.
**You decide what's real.** Review each finding, dismiss the noise, fix what matters.
## Example
Instead of:
> "The authentication implementation looks reasonable. Approved."
An adversarial review produces:
> 1. **HIGH** - `login.ts:47` - No rate limiting on failed attempts
> 2. **HIGH** - Session token stored in localStorage (XSS vulnerable)
> 3. **MEDIUM** - Password validation happens client-side only
> 4. **MEDIUM** - No audit logging for failed login attempts
> 5. **LOW** - Magic number `3600` should be `SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`
The first review might miss a security vulnerability. The second caught four.
## Iteration and Diminishing Returns
After addressing findings, consider running it again. A second pass usually catches more. A third isn't always useless either. But each pass takes time, and eventually you hit diminishing returns - just nitpicks and false findings.
:::tip[Better Reviews]
Assume problems exist. Look for what's missing, not just what's wrong.

## What is Brainstorming?
Run `brainstorming` and you've got a creative facilitator pulling ideas out of you - not generating them for you. The AI acts as coach and guide, using proven techniques to create conditions where your best thinking emerges.
**Good for:**
- Breaking through creative blocks
- Generating product or feature ideas
- Exploring problems from new angles
- Developing raw concepts into action plans
## How It Works
1. **Setup** - Define topic, goals, constraints
2. **Choose approach** - Pick techniques yourself, get AI recommendations, go random, or follow a progressive flow
3. **Facilitation** - Work through techniques with probing questions and collaborative coaching
4. **Organize** - Ideas grouped into themes and prioritized
5. **Action** - Top ideas get next steps and success metrics
Everything gets captured in a session document you can reference later or share with stakeholders.

title: "Established Projects FAQ"
description: Common questions about using BMad Method on established projects

Quick answers to common questions about working on established projects with the BMad Method (BMM).
## Questions
- [Do I have to run document-project first?](#do-i-have-to-run-document-project-first)
- [What if I forget to run document-project?](#what-if-i-forget-to-run-document-project)
- [Can I use Quick Flow for established projects?](#can-i-use-quick-flow-for-established-projects)
- [What if my existing code doesn't follow best practices?](#what-if-my-existing-code-doesnt-follow-best-practices)
### Do I have to run document-project first?
Highly recommended, especially if:
- No existing documentation
- Documentation is outdated
- AI agents need context about existing code
You can skip it if you have comprehensive, up-to-date documentation including `docs/index.md` or will use other tools or techniques to aid in discovery for the agent to build on an existing system.
### What if I forget to run document-project?
Don't worry about it - you can do it at any time. You can even do it during or after a project to help keep docs up to date.
### Can I use Quick Flow for established projects?
Yes! Quick Flow works great for established projects. It will:
- Auto-detect your existing stack
- Analyze existing code patterns
- Detect conventions and ask for confirmation
- Generate context-rich tech-spec that respects existing code
Perfect for bug fixes and small features in existing codebases.
### What if my existing code doesn't follow best practices?
Quick Flow detects your conventions and asks: "Should I follow these existing conventions?" You decide:
- **Yes** → Maintain consistency with current codebase
- **No** → Establish new standards (document why in tech-spec)
BMM respects your choice — it won't force modernization, but it will offer it.

Get all your AI agents in one conversation.
## What is Party Mode?
Run `party-mode` and you've got your whole AI team in one room - PM, Architect, Dev, UX Designer, whoever you need. BMad Master orchestrates, picking relevant agents per message. Agents respond in character, agree, disagree, and build on each other's ideas.
The conversation continues as long as you want. Ask follow-ups, push back on answers, redirect the discussion - it's a real back-and-forth with your agents until you're done.
**Good for:**
- Big decisions with tradeoffs
- Brainstorming sessions
- Post-mortems when things go wrong
- Sprint retrospectives and planning
## Examples
### Calling Out Bad Architecture
**You:** "Okay team, our last sprint was a disaster. The authentication service went down three times. Who screwed this up?"
**Architect:** "The design was sound - distributed authentication with proper fallbacks. If implementation deviated from the spec..."
**Dev:** "I followed the architecture doc exactly. The spec didn't account for concurrent session invalidation race conditions."
**PM:** "Both of you missed the bigger issue - we didn't validate session management requirements in the PRD. This is on me for not catching it."
**TEA:** "And I should've caught this in integration tests. The test scenarios didn't cover concurrent invalidation."
### Creative Brainstorming
**You:** "How do we make onboarding feel magical instead of boring?"
**UX Designer:** "Start with progressive disclosure - reveal features as users need them, not all at once in a tutorial."
**Storyteller:** "What if onboarding was a story? Each step reveals a character's journey - the user IS the hero."
**Game Designer:** "Building on that - what if the first 'quest' is actually solving a real user problem? They learn by doing something valuable."
### Technical Decision
**You:** "Monolith or microservices for MVP?"
**Architect:** "Start monolith. Microservices add complexity you don't need at 1000 users."
**PM:** "Agree. Time to market matters more than theoretical scalability."
**Dev:** "Monolith with clear module boundaries. We can extract services later if needed."

title: "Preventing Agent Conflicts"
description: How architecture prevents conflicts when multiple agents implement a system
sidebar:
order: 4
---
When multiple AI agents implement different parts of a system, they can make conflicting technical decisions. Architecture documentation prevents this by establishing shared standards.
## Common Conflict Types
### API Style Conflicts
Without architecture:
- Agent A uses REST with `/users/{id}`
- Agent B uses GraphQL mutations
- Result: Inconsistent API patterns, confused consumers
With architecture:
- ADR specifies: "Use GraphQL for all client-server communication"
- All agents follow the same pattern
### Database Design Conflicts
Without architecture:
- Agent A uses snake_case column names
- Agent B uses camelCase column names
- Result: Inconsistent schema, confusing queries
With architecture:
- Standards document specifies naming conventions
- All agents follow the same patterns
### State Management Conflicts
Without architecture:
- Agent A uses Redux for global state
- Agent B uses React Context
- Result: Multiple state management approaches, complexity
With architecture:
- ADR specifies state management approach
- All agents implement consistently
## How Architecture Prevents Conflicts
### 1. Explicit Decisions via ADRs
Every significant technology choice is documented with:
- Context (why this decision matters)
- Options considered (what alternatives exist)
- Decision (what we chose)
- Rationale (why we chose it)
- Consequences (trade-offs accepted)
### 2. FR/NFR-Specific Guidance
Architecture maps each functional requirement to technical approach:
- FR-001: User Management → GraphQL mutations
- FR-002: Mobile App → Optimized queries
### 3. Standards and Conventions
Explicit documentation of:
- Directory structure
- Naming conventions
- Code organization
- Testing patterns
## Architecture as Shared Context
Think of architecture as the shared context that all agents read before implementing:
```text
PRD: "What to build"
↓
Architecture: "How to build it"
↓
Agent A reads architecture → implements Epic 1
Agent B reads architecture → implements Epic 2
Agent C reads architecture → implements Epic 3
↓
Result: Consistent implementation
```
## Key ADR Topics
Common decisions that prevent conflicts:
| Topic | Example Decision |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| API Style | GraphQL vs REST vs gRPC |
| Database | PostgreSQL vs MongoDB |
| Auth | JWT vs Sessions |
| State Management | Redux vs Context vs Zustand |
| Styling | CSS Modules vs Tailwind vs Styled Components |
| Testing | Jest + Playwright vs Vitest + Cypress |
## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
:::caution[Common Mistakes]
- **Implicit Decisions** — "We'll figure out the API style as we go" leads to inconsistency
- **Over-Documentation** — Documenting every minor choice causes analysis paralysis
- **Stale Architecture** — Documents written once and never updated cause agents to follow outdated patterns
:::
:::tip[Correct Approach]
- Document decisions that cross epic boundaries
- Focus on conflict-prone areas
- Update architecture as you learn
- Use `correct-course` for significant changes

title: "Project Context"
description: How project-context.md guides AI agents with your project's rules and preferences
sidebar:
order: 7
---
The `project-context.md` file is your project's implementation guide for AI agents. Similar to a "constitution" in other development systems, it captures the rules, patterns, and preferences that ensure consistent code generation across all workflows.
## What It Does
AI agents make implementation decisions constantly — which patterns to follow, how to structure code, what conventions to use. Without clear guidance, they may:
- Follow generic best practices that don't match your codebase
- Make inconsistent decisions across different stories
- Miss project-specific requirements or constraints
The `project-context.md` file solves this by documenting what agents need to know in a concise, LLM-optimized format.
## How It Works
Every implementation workflow automatically loads `project-context.md` if it exists. The architect workflow also loads it to respect your technical preferences when designing the architecture.
**Loaded by these workflows:**
- `create-architecture` — respects technical preferences during solutioning
- `create-story` — informs story creation with project patterns
- `dev-story` — guides implementation decisions
- `code-review` — validates against project standards
- `quick-dev` — applies patterns when implementing tech-specs
- `sprint-planning`, `retrospective`, `correct-course` — provides project-wide context
## When to Create It
The `project-context.md` file is useful at any stage of a project:
| Scenario | When to Create | Purpose |
|----------|----------------|---------|
| **New project, before architecture** | Manually, before `create-architecture` | Document your technical preferences so the architect respects them |
| **New project, after architecture** | Via `generate-project-context` or manually | Capture architecture decisions for implementation agents |
| **Existing project** | Via `generate-project-context` | Discover existing patterns so agents follow established conventions |
| **Quick Flow project** | Before or during `quick-dev` | Ensure quick implementation respects your patterns |
:::tip[Recommended]
For new projects, create it manually before architecture if you have strong technical preferences. Otherwise, generate it after architecture to capture those decisions.
:::
## What Goes In It
The file has two main sections:
### Technology Stack & Versions
Documents the frameworks, languages, and tools your project uses with specific versions:
```markdown
## Technology Stack & Versions
- Node.js 20.x, TypeScript 5.3, React 18.2
- State: Zustand (not Redux)
- Testing: Vitest, Playwright, MSW
- Styling: Tailwind CSS with custom design tokens
```
### Critical Implementation Rules
Documents patterns and conventions that agents might otherwise miss:
```markdown
## Critical Implementation Rules
**TypeScript Configuration:**
- Strict mode enabled — no `any` types without explicit approval
- Use `interface` for public APIs, `type` for unions/intersections
**Code Organization:**
- Components in `/src/components/` with co-located `.test.tsx`
- Utilities in `/src/lib/` for reusable pure functions
- API calls use the `apiClient` singleton — never fetch directly
**Testing Patterns:**
- Unit tests focus on business logic, not implementation details
- Integration tests use MSW to mock API responses
- E2E tests cover critical user journeys only
**Framework-Specific:**
- All async operations use the `handleError` wrapper for consistent error handling
- Feature flags accessed via `featureFlag()` from `@/lib/flags`
- New routes follow the file-based routing pattern in `/src/app/`
```
Focus on what's **unobvious** — things agents might not infer from reading code snippets. Don't document standard practices that apply universally.
## Creating the File
You have three options:
### Manual Creation
Create the file at `_bmad-output/project-context.md` and add your rules:
```bash
# In your project root
mkdir -p _bmad-output
touch _bmad-output/project-context.md
```
Edit it with your technology stack and implementation rules. The architect and implementation workflows will automatically find and load it.
### Generate After Architecture
Run the `generate-project-context` workflow after completing your architecture:
```bash
/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context
```
This scans your architecture document and project files to generate a context file capturing the decisions made.
### Generate for Existing Projects
For existing projects, run `generate-project-context` to discover existing patterns:
```bash
/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context
```
The workflow analyzes your codebase to identify conventions, then generates a context file you can review and refine.
## Why It Matters
Without `project-context.md`, agents make assumptions that may not match your project:
| Without Context | With Context |
|----------------|--------------|
| Uses generic patterns | Follows your established conventions |
| Inconsistent style across stories | Consistent implementation |
| May miss project-specific constraints | Respects all technical requirements |
| Each agent decides independently | All agents align with same rules |
This is especially important for:
- **Quick Flow** — skips PRD and architecture, so context file fills the gap
- **Team projects** — ensures all agents follow the same standards
- **Existing projects** — prevents breaking established patterns
## Editing and Updating
The `project-context.md` file is a living document. Update it when:
- Architecture decisions change
- New conventions are established
- Patterns evolve during implementation
- You identify gaps from agent behavior
You can edit it manually at any time, or re-run `generate-project-context` to update it after significant changes.
:::note[File Location]
The default location is `_bmad-output/project-context.md`. Workflows search for it there, and also check `**/project-context.md` anywhere in your project.

Skip the ceremony. Quick Flow takes you from idea to working code in two commands - no Product Brief, no PRD, no Architecture doc.
## When to Use It
- Bug fixes and patches
- Refactoring existing code
- Small, well-understood features
- Prototyping and spikes
- Single-agent work where one developer can hold the full scope
## When NOT to Use It
- New products or platforms that need stakeholder alignment
- Major features spanning multiple components or teams
- Work that requires architectural decisions (database schema, API contracts, service boundaries)
- Anything where requirements are unclear or contested
:::caution[Scope Creep]
If you start a Quick Flow and realize the scope is bigger than expected, `quick-dev` will detect this and offer to escalate. You can switch to a full PRD workflow at any point without losing your work.
:::
## How It Works
Quick Flow has two commands, each backed by a structured workflow. You can run them together or independently.
### quick-spec: Plan
Run `quick-spec` and Barry (the Quick Flow agent) walks you through a conversational discovery process:
1. **Understand** - You describe what you want to build. Barry scans the codebase to ask informed questions, then captures a problem statement, solution approach, and scope boundaries.
2. **Investigate** - Barry reads relevant files, maps code patterns, identifies files to modify, and documents the technical context.
3. **Generate** - Produces a complete tech-spec with ordered implementation tasks (specific file paths and actions), acceptance criteria in Given/When/Then format, testing strategy, and dependencies.
4. **Review** - Presents the full spec for your sign-off. You can edit, ask questions, run adversarial review, or refine with advanced elicitation before finalizing.
The output is a `tech-spec-{slug}.md` file saved to your project's implementation artifacts folder. It contains everything a fresh agent needs to implement the feature - no conversation history required.
### quick-dev: Build
Run `quick-dev` and Barry implements the work. It operates in two modes:
- **Tech-spec mode** - Point it at a spec file (`quick-dev tech-spec-auth.md`) and it executes every task in order, writes tests, and verifies acceptance criteria.
- **Direct mode** - Give it instructions directly (`quick-dev "refactor the auth middleware"`) and it gathers context, builds a mental plan, and executes.
After implementation, `quick-dev` runs a self-check audit against all tasks and acceptance criteria, then triggers an adversarial code review of the diff. Findings are presented for you to resolve before wrapping up.
:::tip[Fresh Context]
For best results, run `quick-dev` in a new conversation after finishing `quick-spec`. This gives the implementation agent clean context focused solely on building.
:::
## What Quick Flow Skips
The full BMad Method produces a Product Brief, PRD, Architecture doc, and Epic/Story breakdown before any code is written. Quick Flow replaces all of that with a single tech-spec. This works because Quick Flow targets changes where:
- The product direction is already established
- Architecture decisions are already made
- A single developer can reason about the full scope
- Requirements fit in one conversation
## Escalating to Full BMad Method
Quick Flow includes built-in guardrails for scope detection. When you run `quick-dev` with a direct request, it evaluates signals like multi-component mentions, system-level language, and uncertainty about approach. If it detects the work is bigger than a quick flow:
- **Light escalation** - Recommends running `quick-spec` first to create a plan
- **Heavy escalation** - Recommends switching to the full BMad Method PRD process
You can also escalate manually at any time. Your tech-spec work carries forward - it becomes input for the broader planning process rather than being discarded.

title: "Why Solutioning Matters"
description: Understanding why the solutioning phase is critical for multi-epic projects
sidebar:
order: 3
---
Phase 3 (Solutioning) translates **what** to build (from Planning) into **how** to build it (technical design). This phase prevents agent conflicts in multi-epic projects by documenting architectural decisions before implementation begins.
## The Problem Without Solutioning
```text
Agent 1 implements Epic 1 using REST API
Agent 2 implements Epic 2 using GraphQL
Result: Inconsistent API design, integration nightmare
```
When multiple agents implement different parts of a system without shared architectural guidance, they make independent technical decisions that may conflict.
## The Solution With Solutioning
```text
architecture workflow decides: "Use GraphQL for all APIs"
All agents follow architecture decisions
Result: Consistent implementation, no conflicts
```
By documenting technical decisions explicitly, all agents implement consistently and integration becomes straightforward.
## Solutioning vs Planning
| Aspect | Planning (Phase 2) | Solutioning (Phase 3) |
| -------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Question | What and Why? | How? Then What units of work? |
| Output | FRs/NFRs (Requirements) | Architecture + Epics/Stories |
| Agent | PM | Architect → PM |
| Audience | Stakeholders | Developers |
| Document | PRD (FRs/NFRs) | Architecture + Epic Files |
| Level | Business logic | Technical design + Work breakdown |
## Key Principle
**Make technical decisions explicit and documented** so all agents implement consistently.
This prevents:
- API style conflicts (REST vs GraphQL)
- Database design inconsistencies
- State management disagreements
- Naming convention mismatches
- Security approach variations
## When Solutioning is Required
| Track | Solutioning Required? |
|-------|----------------------|
| Quick Flow | No - skip entirely |
| BMad Method Simple | Optional |
| BMad Method Complex | Yes |
| Enterprise | Yes |
:::tip[Rule of Thumb]
If you have multiple epics that could be implemented by different agents, you need solutioning.
:::
## The Cost of Skipping
Skipping solutioning on complex projects leads to:
- **Integration issues** discovered mid-sprint
- **Rework** due to conflicting implementations
- **Longer development time** overall
- **Technical debt** from inconsistent patterns
:::caution[Cost Multiplier]
Catching alignment issues in solutioning is 10× faster than discovering them during implementation.

title: "How to Customize BMad"
description: Customize agents, workflows, and modules while preserving update compatibility
sidebar:
order: 7
---
Use the `.customize.yaml` files to tailor agent behavior, personas, and menus while preserving your changes across updates.
## When to Use This
- You want to change an agent's name, personality, or communication style
- You need agents to remember project-specific context
- You want to add custom menu items that trigger your own workflows or prompts
- You want agents to perform specific actions every time they start up
:::note[Prerequisites]
- BMad installed in your project (see [How to Install BMad](./install-bmad.md))
- A text editor for YAML files
:::
:::caution[Keep Your Customizations Safe]
Always use the `.customize.yaml` files described here rather than editing agent files directly. The installer overwrites agent files during updates, but preserves your `.customize.yaml` changes.
:::
## Steps
### 1. Locate Customization Files
After installation, find one `.customize.yaml` file per agent in:
```text
_bmad/_config/agents/
├── core-bmad-master.customize.yaml
├── bmm-dev.customize.yaml
├── bmm-pm.customize.yaml
└── ... (one file per installed agent)
```
### 2. Edit the Customization File
Open the `.customize.yaml` file for the agent you want to modify. Every section is optional -- customize only what you need.
| Section | Behavior | Purpose |
| ------------------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `agent.metadata` | Replaces | Override the agent's display name |
| `persona` | Replaces | Set role, identity, style, and principles |
| `memories` | Appends | Add persistent context the agent always recalls |
| `menu` | Appends | Add custom menu items for workflows or prompts |
| `critical_actions` | Appends | Define startup instructions for the agent |
| `prompts` | Appends | Create reusable prompts for menu actions |
Sections marked **Replaces** overwrite the agent's defaults entirely. Sections marked **Appends** add to the existing configuration.
**Agent Name**
Change how the agent introduces itself:
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
name: 'Spongebob' # Default: "Amelia"
```
**Persona**
Replace the agent's personality, role, and communication style:
```yaml
persona:
role: 'Senior Full-Stack Engineer'
identity: 'Lives in a pineapple (under the sea)'
communication_style: 'Spongebob annoying'
principles:
- 'Never Nester, Spongebob Devs hate nesting more than 2 levels deep'
- 'Favor composition over inheritance'
```
The `persona` section replaces the entire default persona, so include all four fields if you set it.
**Memories**
Add persistent context the agent will always remember:
```yaml
memories:
- 'Works at Krusty Krab'
- 'Favorite Celebrity: David Hasslehoff'
- 'Learned in Epic 1 that it is not cool to just pretend that tests have passed'
```
**Menu Items**
Add custom entries to the agent's display menu. Each item needs a `trigger`, a target (`workflow` path or `action` reference), and a `description`:
```yaml
menu:
- trigger: my-workflow
workflow: 'my-custom/workflows/my-workflow.yaml'
description: My custom workflow
- trigger: deploy
action: '#deploy-prompt'
description: Deploy to production
```
**Critical Actions**
Define instructions that run when the agent starts up:
```yaml
critical_actions:
- 'Check the CI Pipelines with the XYZ Skill and alert user on wake if anything is urgently needing attention'
```
**Custom Prompts**
Create reusable prompts that menu items can reference with `action="#id"`:
```yaml
prompts:
- id: deploy-prompt
content: |
Deploy the current branch to production:
1. Run all tests
2. Build the project
3. Execute deployment script
```
### 3. Apply Your Changes
After editing, recompile the agent to apply changes:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
```
The installer detects the existing installation and offers these options:
| Option | What It Does |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Quick Update** | Updates all modules to the latest version and recompiles all agents |
| **Recompile Agents** | Applies customizations only, without updating module files |
| **Modify BMad Installation** | Full installation flow for adding or removing modules |
For customization-only changes, **Recompile Agents** is the fastest option.
## Troubleshooting
**Changes not appearing?**
- Run `npx bmad-method install` and select **Recompile Agents** to apply changes
- Check that your YAML syntax is valid (indentation matters)
- Verify you edited the correct `.customize.yaml` file for the agent
**Agent not loading?**
- Check for YAML syntax errors using an online YAML validator
- Ensure you did not leave fields empty after uncommenting them
- Try reverting to the original template and rebuilding
**Need to reset an agent?**
- Clear or delete the agent's `.customize.yaml` file
- Run `npx bmad-method install` and select **Recompile Agents** to restore defaults
## Workflow Customization
Customization of existing BMad Method workflows and skills is coming soon.
## Module Customization
Guidance on building expansion modules and customizing existing modules is coming soon.

title: "Established Projects"
description: How to use BMad Method on existing codebases
sidebar:
order: 6
---
Use BMad Method effectively when working on existing projects and legacy codebases.
This guide covers the essential workflow for onboarding to existing projects with BMad Method.
:::note[Prerequisites]
- BMad Method installed (`npx bmad-method install`)
- An existing codebase you want to work on
- Access to an AI-powered IDE (Claude Code or Cursor)
:::
## Step 1: Clean Up Completed Planning Artifacts
If you have completed all PRD epics and stories through the BMad process, clean up those files. Archive them, delete them, or rely on version history if needed. Do not keep these files in:
- `docs/`
- `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/`
- `_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/`
## Step 2: Create Project Context
:::tip[Recommended for Existing Projects]
Generate `project-context.md` to capture your existing codebase patterns and conventions. This ensures AI agents follow your established practices when implementing changes.
:::
Run the generate project context workflow:
```bash
/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context
```
This scans your codebase to identify:
- Technology stack and versions
- Code organization patterns
- Naming conventions
- Testing approaches
- Framework-specific patterns
You can review and refine the generated file, or create it manually at `_bmad-output/project-context.md` if you prefer.
[Learn more about project context](../explanation/project-context.md)
## Step 3: Maintain Quality Project Documentation
Your `docs/` folder should contain succinct, well-organized documentation that accurately represents your project:
- Intent and business rationale
- Business rules
- Architecture
- Any other relevant project information
For complex projects, consider using the `document-project` workflow. It offers runtime variants that will scan your entire project and document its actual current state.
## Step 3: Get Help
### BMad-Help: Your Starting Point
**Run `/bmad-help` anytime you're unsure what to do next.** This intelligent guide:
- Inspects your project to see what's already been done
- Shows options based on your installed modules
- Understands natural language queries
```
/bmad-help I have an existing Rails app, where should I start?
/bmad-help What's the difference between quick-flow and full method?
/bmad-help Show me what workflows are available
```
BMad-Help also **automatically runs at the end of every workflow**, providing clear guidance on exactly what to do next.
### Choosing Your Approach
You have two primary options depending on the scope of changes:
| Scope | Recommended Approach |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Small updates or additions** | Use `quick-flow-solo-dev` to create a tech-spec and implement the change. The full four-phase BMad Method is likely overkill. |
| **Major changes or additions** | Start with the BMad Method, applying as much or as little rigor as needed. |
### During PRD Creation
When creating a brief or jumping directly into the PRD, ensure the agent:
- Finds and analyzes your existing project documentation
- Reads the proper context about your current system
You can guide the agent explicitly, but the goal is to ensure the new feature integrates well with your existing system.
### UX Considerations
UX work is optional. The decision depends not on whether your project has a UX, but on:
- Whether you will be working on UX changes
- Whether significant new UX designs or patterns are needed
If your changes amount to simple updates to existing screens you are happy with, a full UX process is unnecessary.
### Architecture Considerations
When doing architecture, ensure the architect:
- Uses the proper documented files
- Scans the existing codebase
Pay close attention here to prevent reinventing the wheel or making decisions that misalign with your existing architecture.

title: "How to Get Answers About BMad"
description: Use an LLM to quickly answer your own BMad questions
sidebar:
order: 4
---
## Start Here: BMad-Help
**The fastest way to get answers about BMad is `/bmad-help`.** This intelligent guide will answer upwards of 80% of all questions and is available to you directly in your IDE as you work.
BMad-Help is more than a lookup tool — it:
- **Inspects your project** to see what's already been completed
- **Understands natural language** — ask questions in plain English
- **Varies based on your installed modules** — shows relevant options
- **Auto-runs after workflows** — tells you exactly what to do next
- **Recommends the first required task** — no guessing where to start
### How to Use BMad-Help
Run it with just the slash command:
```
/bmad-help
```
Or combine it with a natural language query:
```
/bmad-help I have a SaaS idea and know all the features. Where do I start?
/bmad-help What are my options for UX design?
/bmad-help I'm stuck on the PRD workflow
/bmad-help Show me what's been done so far
```
BMad-Help responds with:
- What's recommended for your situation
- What the first required task is
- What the rest of the process looks like
---
## When to Use This Guide
Use this section when:
- You want to understand BMad's architecture or internals
- You need answers outside of what BMad-Help provides
- You're researching BMad before installing
- You want to explore the source code directly
## Steps
### 1. Choose Your Source
| Source | Best For | Examples |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **`_bmad` folder** | How BMad works—agents, workflows, prompts | "What does the PM agent do?" |
| **Full GitHub repo** | History, installer, architecture | "What changed in v6?" |
| **`llms-full.txt`** | Quick overview from docs | "Explain BMad's four phases" |
The `_bmad` folder is created when you install BMad. If you don't have it yet, clone the repo instead.
### 2. Point Your AI at the Source
**If your AI can read files (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.):**
- **BMad installed:** Point at the `_bmad` folder and ask directly
- **Want deeper context:** Clone the [full repo](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD)
**If you use ChatGPT or Claude.ai:**
Fetch `llms-full.txt` into your session:
```text
https://bmad-code-org.github.io/BMAD-METHOD/llms-full.txt
```
### 3. Ask Your Question
:::note[Example]
**Q:** "Tell me the fastest way to build something with BMad"
**A:** Use Quick Flow: Run `quick-spec` to write a technical specification, then `quick-dev` to implement it—skipping the full planning phases.
:::
## What You Get
Direct answers about BMad—how agents work, what workflows do, why things are structured the way they are—without waiting for someone else to respond.
## Tips
- **Verify surprising answers** — LLMs occasionally get things wrong. Check the source file or ask on Discord.
- **Be specific** — "What does step 3 of the PRD workflow do?" beats "How does PRD work?"
## Still Stuck?
Tried the LLM approach and still need help? You now have a much better question to ask.

title: "How to Install BMad"
description: Step-by-step guide to installing BMad in your project
sidebar:
order: 1
---
Use the `npx bmad-method install` command to set up BMad in your project with your choice of modules and AI tools.
If you want to use a non interactive installer and provide all install options on the command line, see [this guide](./non-interactive-installation.md).
## When to Use This
- Starting a new project with BMad
- Adding BMad to an existing codebase
- Update the existing BMad Installation
:::note[Prerequisites]
- **Node.js** 20+ (required for the installer)
- **Git** (recommended)
- **AI tool** (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar)
:::
## Steps
### 1. Run the Installer
```bash
npx bmad-method install
```
:::tip[Bleeding edge]
To install the latest from the main branch (may be unstable):
```bash
npx github:bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD install
```
:::
### 2. Choose Installation Location
The installer will ask where to install BMad files:
- Current directory (recommended for new projects if you created the directory yourself and ran from within the directory)
- Custom path
### 3. Select Your AI Tools
Pick which AI tools you use:
- Claude Code
- Cursor
- Others
Each tool has its own way of integrating commands. The installer creates tiny prompt files to activate workflows and agents — it just puts them where your tool expects to find them.
### 4. Choose Modules
The installer shows available modules. Select whichever ones you need — most users just want **BMad Method** (the software development module).
### 5. Follow the Prompts
The installer guides you through the rest — custom content, settings, etc.
## What You Get
```text
your-project/
├── _bmad/
│ ├── bmm/ # Your selected modules
│ │ └── config.yaml # Module settings (if you ever need to change them)
│ ├── core/ # Required core module
│ └── ...
├── _bmad-output/ # Generated artifacts
├── .claude/ # Claude Code commands (if using Claude Code)
└── .kiro/ # Kiro steering files (if using Kiro)
```
## Verify Installation
Run `/bmad-help` to verify everything works and see what to do next.
**BMad-Help is your intelligent guide** that will:
- Confirm your installation is working
- Show what's available based on your installed modules
- Recommend your first step
You can also ask it questions:
```
/bmad-help I just installed, what should I do first?
/bmad-help What are my options for a SaaS project?
```
## Troubleshooting
**Installer throws an error** — Copy-paste the output into your AI assistant and let it figure it out.
**Installer worked but something doesn't work later** — Your AI needs BMad context to help. See [How to Get Answers About BMad](./get-answers-about-bmad.md) for how to point your AI at the right sources.

- A `_bmad-output/` folder for generated artifacts
## Validation and Error Handling
BMad validates all provided flags:
- **Directory** — Must be a valid path with write permissions
- **Modules** — Warns about invalid module IDs (but won't fail)
- **Tools** — Warns about invalid tool IDs (but won't fail)
- **Custom Content** — Each path must contain a valid `module.yaml` file
- **Action** — Must be one of: `install`, `update`, `quick-update`, `compile-agents`
Invalid values will either:
1. Show an error and exit (for critical options like directory)
2. Show a warning and skip (for optional items like custom content)
3. Fall back to interactive prompts (for missing required values)
:::tip[Best Practices]
- Use absolute paths for `--directory` to avoid ambiguity
- Test flags locally before using in CI/CD pipelines
- Combine with `-y` for truly unattended installations
- Use `--debug` if you encounter issues during installation
:::
## Troubleshooting
### Installation fails with "Invalid directory"
- The directory path must exist (or its parent must exist)
- You need write permissions
- The path must be absolute or correctly relative to the current directory
### Module not found
- Verify the module ID is correct
- External modules must be available in the registry
### Custom content path invalid
Ensure each custom content path:
- Points to a directory
- Contains a `module.yaml` file in the root
- Has a `code` field in the `module.yaml`
:::note[Still stuck?]
Run with `--debug` for detailed output, try interactive mode to isolate the issue, or report at <https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/issues>.

title: "Manage Project Context"
description: Create and maintain project-context.md to guide AI agents
sidebar:
order: 7
---
Use the `project-context.md` file to ensure AI agents follow your project's technical preferences and implementation rules throughout all workflows.
:::note[Prerequisites]
- BMad Method installed
- Understanding of your project's technology stack and conventions
:::
## When to Use This
- You have strong technical preferences before starting architecture
- You've completed architecture and want to capture decisions for implementation
- You're working on an existing codebase with established patterns
- You notice agents making inconsistent decisions across stories
## Step 1: Choose Your Approach
**Manual creation** — Best when you know exactly what rules you want to document
**Generate after architecture** — Best for capturing decisions made during solutioning
**Generate for existing projects** — Best for discovering patterns in existing codebases
## Step 2: Create the File
### Option A: Manual Creation
Create the file at `_bmad-output/project-context.md`:
```bash
mkdir -p _bmad-output
touch _bmad-output/project-context.md
```
Add your technology stack and implementation rules:
```markdown
---
project_name: 'MyProject'
user_name: 'YourName'
date: '2026-02-15'
sections_completed: ['technology_stack', 'critical_rules']
---
# Project Context for AI Agents
## Technology Stack & Versions
- Node.js 20.x, TypeScript 5.3, React 18.2
- State: Zustand
- Testing: Vitest, Playwright
- Styling: Tailwind CSS
## Critical Implementation Rules
**TypeScript:**
- Strict mode enabled, no `any` types
- Use `interface` for public APIs, `type` for unions
**Code Organization:**
- Components in `/src/components/` with co-located tests
- API calls use `apiClient` singleton — never fetch directly
**Testing:**
- Unit tests focus on business logic
- Integration tests use MSW for API mocking
```
### Option B: Generate After Architecture
Run the workflow in a fresh chat:
```bash
/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context
```
The workflow scans your architecture document and project files to generate a context file capturing the decisions made.
### Option C: Generate for Existing Projects
For existing projects, run:
```bash
/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context
```
The workflow analyzes your codebase to identify conventions, then generates a context file you can review and refine.
## Step 3: Verify Content
Review the generated file and ensure it captures:
- Correct technology versions
- Your actual conventions (not generic best practices)
- Rules that prevent common mistakes
- Framework-specific patterns
Edit manually to add anything missing or remove inaccuracies.
## What You Get
A `project-context.md` file that:
- Ensures all agents follow the same conventions
- Prevents inconsistent decisions across stories
- Captures architecture decisions for implementation
- Serves as a reference for your project's patterns and rules
## Tips
:::tip[Focus on the Unobvious]
Document patterns agents might miss such as "Use JSDoc style comments on every public class, function and variable", not universal practices like "use meaningful variable names" which LLMs know at this point.
:::
:::tip[Keep It Lean]
This file is loaded by every implementation workflow. Long files waste context. Do not include content that only applies to narrow scope or specific stories or features.
:::
:::tip[Update as Needed]
Edit manually when patterns change, or re-generate after significant architecture changes.
:::
:::tip[Works for All Project Types]
Just as useful for Quick Flow as for full BMad Method projects.
:::

title: "Quick Fixes"
description: How to make quick fixes and ad-hoc changes
sidebar:
order: 5
---
Use the **DEV agent** directly for bug fixes, refactorings, or small targeted changes that don't require the full BMad Method or Quick Flow.
## When to Use This
- Bug fixes with a clear, known cause
- Small refactorings (rename, extract, restructure) contained within a few files
- Minor feature tweaks or configuration changes
- Exploratory work to understand an unfamiliar codebase
:::note[Prerequisites]
- BMad Method installed (`npx bmad-method install`)
- An AI-powered IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar)
:::
## Choose Your Approach
| Situation | Agent | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fix a specific bug or make a small, scoped change | **DEV agent** | Jumps straight into implementation without planning overhead |
| Change touches several files or you want a written plan first | **Quick Flow Solo Dev** | Creates a quick-spec before implementation so the agent stays aligned to your standards |
If you are unsure, start with the DEV agent. You can always escalate to Quick Flow if the change grows.
## Steps
### 1. Load the DEV Agent
Start a **fresh chat** in your AI IDE and load the DEV agent with its slash command:
```text
/bmad-agent-bmm-dev
```
This loads the agent's persona and capabilities into the session. If you decide you need Quick Flow instead, load the **Quick Flow Solo Dev** agent in a fresh chat:
```text
/bmad-agent-bmm-quick-flow-solo-dev
```
Once the Solo Dev agent is loaded, describe your change and ask it to create a **quick-spec**. The agent drafts a lightweight spec capturing what you want to change and how. After you approve the quick-spec, tell the agent to start the **Quick Flow dev cycle** -- it will implement the change, run tests, and perform a self-review, all guided by the spec you just approved.
:::tip[Fresh Chats]
Always start a new chat session when loading an agent. Reusing a session from a previous workflow can cause context conflicts.
:::
### 2. Describe the Change
Tell the agent what you need in plain language. Be specific about the problem and, if you know it, where the relevant code lives.
:::note[Example Prompts]
**Bug fix** -- "Fix the login validation bug that allows empty passwords. The validation logic is in `src/auth/validate.ts`."
**Refactoring** -- "Refactor the UserService to use async/await instead of callbacks."
**Configuration change** -- "Update the CI pipeline to cache node_modules between runs."
**Dependency update** -- "Upgrade the express dependency to the latest v5 release and fix any breaking changes."
:::
You don't need to provide every detail. The agent will read the relevant source files and ask clarifying questions when needed.
### 3. Let the Agent Work
The agent will:
- Read and analyze the relevant source files
- Propose a solution and explain its reasoning
- Implement the change across the affected files
- Run your project's test suite if one exists
If your project has tests, the agent runs them automatically after making changes and iterates until tests pass. For projects without a test suite, verify the change manually (run the app, hit the endpoint, check the output).
### 4. Review and Verify
Before committing, review what changed:
- Read through the diff to confirm the change matches your intent
- Run the application or tests yourself to double-check
- If something looks wrong, tell the agent what to fix -- it can iterate in the same session
Once satisfied, commit the changes with a clear message describing the fix.
:::caution[If Something Breaks]
If a committed change causes unexpected issues, use `git revert HEAD` to undo the last commit cleanly. Then start a fresh chat with the DEV agent to try a different approach.
:::
## Learning Your Codebase
The DEV agent is also useful for exploring unfamiliar code. Load it in a fresh chat and ask questions:
:::note[Example Prompts]
"Explain how the authentication system works in this codebase."
"Show me where error handling happens in the API layer."
"What does the `ProcessOrder` function do and what calls it?"
:::
Use the agent to learn about your project, understand how components connect, and explore unfamiliar areas before making changes.
## What You Get
- Modified source files with the fix or refactoring applied
- Passing tests (if your project has a test suite)
- A clean commit describing the change
No planning artifacts are produced -- that's the point of this approach.
## When to Upgrade to Formal Planning
Consider using [Quick Flow](../explanation/quick-flow.md) or the full BMad Method when:
- The change affects multiple systems or requires coordinated updates across many files
- You are unsure about the scope and need a spec to think it through
- The fix keeps growing in complexity as you work on it
- You need documentation or architectural decisions recorded for the team

description: Split large markdown files into smaller organized files for better context management
sidebar:
order: 8
---
Use the `shard-doc` tool if you need to split large markdown files into smaller, organized files for better context management.
:::caution[Deprecated]
This is no longer recommended, and soon with updated workflows and most major LLMs and tools supporting subprocesses this will be unnecessary.
:::
## When to Use This
Only use this if you notice your chosen tool / model combination is failing to load and read all the documents as input when needed.
## What is Document Sharding?
Document sharding splits large markdown files into smaller, organized files based on level 2 headings (`## Heading`).
### Architecture
```text
Before Sharding:
_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/
└── PRD.md (large 50k token file)
After Sharding:
_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/
└── prd/
├── index.md # Table of contents with descriptions
├── overview.md # Section 1
├── user-requirements.md # Section 2
├── technical-requirements.md # Section 3
└── ... # Additional sections
```
## Steps
### 1. Run the Shard-Doc Tool
```bash
/bmad-shard-doc
```
### 2. Follow the Interactive Process
```text
Agent: Which document would you like to shard?
User: docs/PRD.md
Agent: Default destination: docs/prd/
Accept default? [y/n]
User: y
Agent: Sharding PRD.md...
✓ Created 12 section files
✓ Generated index.md
✓ Complete!
```
## How Workflow Discovery Works
BMad workflows use a **dual discovery system**:
1. **Try whole document first** - Look for `document-name.md`
2. **Check for sharded version** - Look for `document-name/index.md`
3. **Priority rule** - Whole document takes precedence if both exist - remove the whole document if you want the sharded to be used instead
## Workflow Support
All BMM workflows support both formats:
- Whole documents
- Sharded documents
- Automatic detection
- Transparent to user

### 2. Handle Legacy Installation
When v4 is detected, you can:
- Allow the installer to back up and remove `.bmad-method`
- Exit and handle cleanup manually
If you named your bmad method folder something else - you will need to manually remove the folder yourself.
### 3. Clean Up IDE Commands
Manually remove legacy v4 IDE commands - for example if you have claude, look for any nested folders that start with bmad and remove them:
- `.claude/commands/BMad/agents`
- `.claude/commands/BMad/tasks`
### 4. Migrate Planning Artifacts
**If you have planning documents (Brief/PRD/UX/Architecture):**
Move them to `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/` with descriptive names:
- Include `PRD` in filename for PRD documents
- Include `brief`, `architecture`, or `ux-design` accordingly
- Sharded documents can be in named subfolders
**If you're mid-planning:** Consider restarting with v6 workflows. Use your existing documents as inputs—the new progressive discovery workflows with web search and IDE plan mode produce better results.
### 5. Migrate In-Progress Development
If you have stories created or implemented:
1. Complete the v6 installation
2. Place `epics.md` or `epics/epic*.md` in `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/`
3. Run the Scrum Master's `sprint-planning` workflow
4. Tell the SM which epics/stories are already complete
## What You Get
**v6 unified structure:**
```text
your-project/
├── _bmad/ # Single installation folder
│ ├── _config/ # Your customizations
│ │ └── agents/ # Agent customization files
│ ├── core/ # Universal core framework
│ ├── bmm/ # BMad Method module
│ ├── bmb/ # BMad Builder
│ └── cis/ # Creative Intelligence Suite
└── _bmad-output/ # Output folder (was doc folder in v4)
```
## Module Migration
| v4 Module | v6 Status |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `.bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev` | Integrated into BMGD Module |
| `.bmad-2d-unity-game-dev` | Integrated into BMGD Module |
| `.bmad-godot-game-dev` | Integrated into BMGD Module |
| `.bmad-infrastructure-devops` | Deprecated — new DevOps agent coming soon |
| `.bmad-creative-writing` | Not adapted — new v6 module coming soon |
## Key Changes
| Concept | v4 | v6 |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Core** | `_bmad-core` was actually BMad Method | `_bmad/core/` is universal framework |
| **Method** | `_bmad-method` | `_bmad/bmm/` |
| **Config** | Modified files directly | `config.yaml` per module |
| **Documents** | Sharded or unsharded required setup | Fully flexible, auto-scanned |

title: Agents
description: Default BMM agents with their menu triggers and primary workflows
sidebar:
order: 2
---
## Default Agents
This page lists the default BMM (Agile suite) agents that install with BMad Method, along with their menu triggers and primary workflows.
## Notes
- Triggers are the short menu codes (e.g., `CP`) and fuzzy matches shown in each agent menu.
- Slash commands are generated separately. See [Commands](./commands.md) for the slash command list and where they are defined.
- QA (Quinn) is the lightweight test automation agent in BMM. The full Test Architect (TEA) lives in its own module.
| Agent | Triggers | Primary workflows |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Analyst (Mary) | `BP`, `RS`, `CB`, `DP` | Brainstorm Project, Research, Create Brief, Document Project |
| Product Manager (John) | `CP`, `VP`, `EP`, `CE`, `IR`, `CC` | Create/Validate/Edit PRD, Create Epics and Stories, Implementation Readiness, Correct Course |
| Architect (Winston) | `CA`, `IR` | Create Architecture, Implementation Readiness |
| Scrum Master (Bob) | `SP`, `CS`, `ER`, `CC` | Sprint Planning, Create Story, Epic Retrospective, Correct Course |
| Developer (Amelia) | `DS`, `CR` | Dev Story, Code Review |
| QA Engineer (Quinn) | `QA` | Automate (generate tests for existing features) |
| Quick Flow Solo Dev (Barry) | `QS`, `QD`, `CR` | Quick Spec, Quick Dev, Code Review |
| UX Designer (Sally) | `CU` | Create UX Design |
| Technical Writer (Paige) | `DP`, `WD`, `US`, `MG`, `VD`, `EC` | Document Project, Write Document, Update Standards, Mermaid Generate, Validate Doc, Explain Concept |

title: Commands
description: Reference for BMad slash commands — what they are, how they work, and where to find them.
sidebar:
order: 3
---
Slash commands are pre-built prompts that load agents, run workflows, or execute tasks inside your IDE. The BMad installer generates them from your installed modules at install time. If you later add, remove, or change modules, re-run the installer to keep commands in sync (see [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)).
## Commands vs. Agent Menu Triggers
BMad offers two ways to start work, and they serve different purposes.
| Mechanism | How you invoke it | What happens |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Slash command** | Type `/bmad-...` in your IDE | Directly loads an agent, runs a workflow, or executes a task |
| **Agent menu trigger** | Load an agent first, then type a short code (e.g. `DS`) | The agent interprets the code and starts the matching workflow while staying in character |
Agent menu triggers require an active agent session. Use slash commands when you know which workflow you want. Use triggers when you are already working with an agent and want to switch tasks without leaving the conversation.
## How Commands Are Generated
When you run `npx bmad-method install`, the installer reads the manifests for every selected module and writes one command file per agent, workflow, task, and tool. Each file is a short markdown prompt that instructs the AI to load the corresponding source file and follow its instructions.
The installer uses templates for each command type:
| Command type | What the generated file does |
| --- | --- |
| **Agent launcher** | Loads the agent persona file, activates its menu, and stays in character |
| **Workflow command** | Loads the workflow engine (`workflow.xml`) and passes the workflow config |
| **Task command** | Loads a standalone task file and follows its instructions |
| **Tool command** | Loads a standalone tool file and follows its instructions |
:::note[Re-running the installer]
If you add or remove modules, run the installer again. It regenerates all command files to match your current module selection.
:::
## Where Command Files Live
The installer writes command files into an IDE-specific directory inside your project. The exact path depends on which IDE you selected during installation.
| IDE / CLI | Command directory |
| --- | --- |
| Claude Code | `.claude/commands/` |
| Cursor | `.cursor/commands/` |
| Windsurf | `.windsurf/workflows/` |
| Other IDEs | See the installer output for the target path |
All IDEs receive a flat set of command files in their command directory. For example, a Claude Code installation looks like:
```text
.claude/commands/
├── bmad-agent-bmm-dev.md
├── bmad-agent-bmm-pm.md
├── bmad-bmm-create-prd.md
├── bmad-editorial-review-prose.md
├── bmad-help.md
└── ...
```
The filename determines the slash command name in your IDE. For example, the file `bmad-agent-bmm-dev.md` registers the command `/bmad-agent-bmm-dev`.
## How to Discover Your Commands
Type `/bmad` in your IDE and use autocomplete to browse available commands.
Run `/bmad-help` for context-aware guidance on your next step.
:::tip[Quick discovery]
The generated command folders in your project are the canonical list. Open them in your file explorer to see every command with its description.
:::
## Command Categories
### Agent Commands
Agent commands load a specialized AI persona with a defined role, communication style, and menu of workflows. Once loaded, the agent stays in character and responds to menu triggers.
| Example command | Agent | Role |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `/bmad-agent-bmm-dev` | Amelia (Developer) | Implements stories with strict adherence to specs |
| `/bmad-agent-bmm-pm` | John (Product Manager) | Creates and validates PRDs |
| `/bmad-agent-bmm-architect` | Winston (Architect) | Designs system architecture |
| `/bmad-agent-bmm-sm` | Bob (Scrum Master) | Manages sprints and stories |
See [Agents](./agents.md) for the full list of default agents and their triggers.
### Workflow Commands
Workflow commands run a structured, multi-step process without loading an agent persona first. They load the workflow engine and pass a specific workflow configuration.
| Example command | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `/bmad-bmm-create-prd` | Create a Product Requirements Document |
| `/bmad-bmm-create-architecture` | Design system architecture |
| `/bmad-bmm-dev-story` | Implement a story |
| `/bmad-bmm-code-review` | Run a code review |
| `/bmad-bmm-quick-spec` | Define an ad-hoc change (Quick Flow) |
See [Workflow Map](./workflow-map.md) for the complete workflow reference organized by phase.
### Task and Tool Commands
Tasks and tools are standalone operations that do not require an agent or workflow context.
#### BMad-Help: Your Intelligent Guide
**`/bmad-help`** is your primary interface for discovering what to do next. It's not just a lookup tool — it's an intelligent assistant that:
- **Inspects your project** to see what's already been done
- **Understands natural language queries** — ask questions in plain English
- **Varies by installed modules** — shows options based on what you have
- **Auto-invokes after workflows** — every workflow ends with clear next steps
- **Recommends the first required task** — no guessing where to start
**Examples:**
```
/bmad-help
/bmad-help I have a SaaS idea and know all the features. Where do I start?
/bmad-help What are my options for UX design?
/bmad-help I'm stuck on the PRD workflow
```
#### Other Tasks and Tools
| Example command | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `/bmad-shard-doc` | Split a large markdown file into smaller sections |
| `/bmad-index-docs` | Index project documentation |
| `/bmad-editorial-review-prose` | Review document prose quality |
## Naming Convention
Command names follow a predictable pattern.
| Pattern | Meaning | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `bmad-agent-<module>-<name>` | Agent launcher | `bmad-agent-bmm-dev` |
| `bmad-<module>-<workflow>` | Workflow command | `bmad-bmm-create-prd` |
| `bmad-<name>` | Core task or tool | `bmad-help` |
Module codes: `bmm` (Agile suite), `bmb` (Builder), `tea` (Test Architect), `cis` (Creative Intelligence), `gds` (Game Dev Studio). See [Modules](./modules.md) for descriptions.
## Troubleshooting
**Commands not appearing after install.** Restart your IDE or reload the window. Some IDEs cache the command list and require a refresh to pick up new files.
**Expected commands are missing.** The installer only generates commands for modules you selected. Run `npx bmad-method install` again and verify your module selection. Check that the command files exist in the expected directory.
**Commands from a removed module still appear.** The installer does not delete old command files automatically. Remove the stale files from your IDE's command directory, or delete the entire command directory and re-run the installer for a clean set.

title: Testing Options
description: Comparing the built-in QA agent (Quinn) with the Test Architect (TEA) module for test automation.
sidebar:
order: 5
---
BMad provides two testing paths: a built-in QA agent for fast test generation and an installable Test Architect module for enterprise-grade test strategy.
## Which Should You Use?
| Factor | Quinn (Built-in QA) | TEA Module |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Best for** | Small-medium projects, quick coverage | Large projects, regulated or complex domains |
| **Setup** | Nothing to install -- included in BMM | Install separately via `npx bmad-method install` |
| **Approach** | Generate tests fast, iterate later | Plan first, then generate with traceability |
| **Test types** | API and E2E tests | API, E2E, ATDD, NFR, and more |
| **Strategy** | Happy path + critical edge cases | Risk-based prioritization (P0-P3) |
| **Workflow count** | 1 (Automate) | 9 (design, ATDD, automate, review, trace, and others) |
:::tip[Start with Quinn]
Most projects should start with Quinn. If you later need test strategy, quality gates, or requirements traceability, install TEA alongside it.
:::
## Built-in QA Agent (Quinn)
Quinn is the built-in QA agent in the BMM (Agile suite) module. It generates working tests quickly using your project's existing test framework -- no configuration or additional installation required.
**Trigger:** `QA` or `bmad-bmm-qa-automate`
### What Quinn Does
Quinn runs a single workflow (Automate) that walks through five steps:
1. **Detect test framework** -- scans `package.json` and existing test files for your framework (Jest, Vitest, Playwright, Cypress, or any standard runner). If none exists, analyzes the project stack and suggests one.
2. **Identify features** -- asks what to test or auto-discovers features in the codebase.
3. **Generate API tests** -- covers status codes, response structure, happy path, and 1-2 error cases.
4. **Generate E2E tests** -- covers user workflows with semantic locators and visible-outcome assertions.
5. **Run and verify** -- executes the generated tests and fixes failures immediately.
Quinn produces a test summary saved to your project's implementation artifacts folder.
### Test Patterns
Generated tests follow a "simple and maintainable" philosophy:
- **Standard framework APIs only** -- no external utilities or custom abstractions
- **Semantic locators** for UI tests (roles, labels, text rather than CSS selectors)
- **Independent tests** with no order dependencies
- **No hardcoded waits or sleeps**
- **Clear descriptions** that read as feature documentation
:::note[Scope]
Quinn generates tests only. For code review and story validation, use the Code Review workflow (`CR`) instead.
:::
### When to Use Quinn
- Quick test coverage for a new or existing feature
- Beginner-friendly test automation without advanced setup
- Standard test patterns that any developer can read and maintain
- Small-medium projects where comprehensive test strategy is unnecessary
## Test Architect (TEA) Module
TEA is a standalone module that provides an expert agent (Murat) and nine structured workflows for enterprise-grade testing. It goes beyond test generation into test strategy, risk-based planning, quality gates, and requirements traceability.
- **Documentation:** [TEA Module Docs](https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise/)
- **Install:** `npx bmad-method install` and select the TEA module
- **npm:** [`bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise)
### What TEA Provides
| Workflow | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| Test Design | Create a comprehensive test strategy tied to requirements |
| ATDD | Acceptance-test-driven development with stakeholder criteria |
| Automate | Generate tests with advanced patterns and utilities |
| Test Review | Validate test quality and coverage against strategy |
| Traceability | Map tests back to requirements for audit and compliance |
| NFR Assessment | Evaluate non-functional requirements (performance, security) |
| CI Setup | Configure test execution in continuous integration pipelines |
| Framework Scaffolding | Set up test infrastructure and project structure |
| Release Gate | Make data-driven go/no-go release decisions |
TEA also supports P0-P3 risk-based prioritization and optional integrations with Playwright Utils and MCP tooling.
### When to Use TEA
- Projects that require requirements traceability or compliance documentation
- Teams that need risk-based test prioritization across many features
- Enterprise environments with formal quality gates before release
- Complex domains where test strategy must be planned before tests are written
- Projects that have outgrown Quinn's single-workflow approach
## How Testing Fits into Workflows
Quinn's Automate workflow appears in Phase 4 (Implementation) of the BMad Method workflow map. A typical sequence:
1. Implement a story with the Dev workflow (`DS`)
2. Generate tests with Quinn (`QA`) or TEA's Automate workflow
3. Validate implementation with Code Review (`CR`)
Quinn works directly from source code without loading planning documents (PRD, architecture). TEA workflows can integrate with upstream planning artifacts for traceability.
For more on where testing fits in the overall process, see the [Workflow Map](./workflow-map.md).

title: "Workflow Map"
description: Visual reference for BMad Method workflow phases and outputs
sidebar:
order: 1
---
The BMad Method (BMM) is a module in the BMad Ecosystem, targeted at following the best practices of context engineering and planning. AI agents work best with clear, structured context. The BMM system builds that context progressively across 4 distinct phases - each phase, and multiple workflows optionally within each phase, produce documents that inform the next, so agents always know what to build and why.
The rationale and concepts come from agile methodologies that have been used across the industry with great success as a mental framework.
If at any time you are unsure what to do, the `/bmad-help` command will help you stay on track or know what to do next. You can always refer to this for reference also - but /bmad-help is fully interactive and much quicker if you have already installed the BMad Method. Additionally, if you are using different modules that have extended the BMad Method or added other complementary non-extension modules - the /bmad-help evolves to know all that is available to give you the best in-the-moment advice.
Final important note: Every workflow below can be run directly with your tool of choice via slash command or by loading an agent first and using the entry from the agents menu.

<a href="/workflow-map-diagram.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open diagram in new tab ↗</a>
</p>
## Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
Explore the problem space and validate ideas before committing to planning.
| Workflow | Purpose | Produces |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `bmad-brainstorming` | Brainstorm Project Ideas with guided facilitation of a brainstorming coach | `brainstorming-report.md` |
| `bmad-bmm-research` | Validate market, technical, or domain assumptions | Research findings |
| `bmad-bmm-create-product-brief` | Capture strategic vision | `product-brief.md` |
## Phase 2: Planning
Define what to build and for whom.
| Workflow | Purpose | Produces |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| `bmad-bmm-create-prd` | Define requirements (FRs/NFRs) | `PRD.md` |
| `bmad-bmm-create-ux-design` | Design user experience (when UX matters) | `ux-spec.md` |
## Phase 3: Solutioning
Decide how to build it and break work into stories.
| Workflow | Purpose | Produces |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | --------------------------- |
| `bmad-bmm-create-architecture` | Make technical decisions explicit | `architecture.md` with ADRs |
| `bmad-bmm-create-epics-and-stories` | Break requirements into implementable work | Epic files with stories |
| `bmad-bmm-check-implementation-readiness` | Gate check before implementation | PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL decision |
## Phase 4: Implementation
Build it, one story at a time. Coming soon, full phase 4 automation!
| Workflow | Purpose | Produces |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| `bmad-bmm-sprint-planning` | Initialize tracking (once per project to sequence the dev cycle) | `sprint-status.yaml` |
| `bmad-bmm-create-story` | Prepare next story for implementation | `story-[slug].md` |
| `bmad-bmm-dev-story` | Implement the story | Working code + tests |
| `bmad-bmm-code-review` | Validate implementation quality | Approved or changes requested |
| `bmad-bmm-correct-course` | Handle significant mid-sprint changes | Updated plan or re-routing |
| `bmad-bmm-automate` | Generate tests for existing features - Use after a full epic is complete | End to End UI Focused Test suite |
| `bmad-bmm-retrospective` | Review after epic completion | Lessons learned |
## Quick Flow (Parallel Track)
Skip phases 1-3 for small, well-understood work.
| Workflow | Purpose | Produces |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------- |
| `bmad-bmm-quick-spec` | Define an ad-hoc change | `tech-spec.md` (story file for small changes) |
| `bmad-bmm-quick-dev` | Implement from spec or direct instructions | Working code + tests |
## Context Management
Each document becomes context for the next phase. The PRD tells the architect what constraints matter. The architecture tells the dev agent which patterns to follow. Story files give focused, complete context for implementation. Without this structure, agents make inconsistent decisions.
### Project Context
:::tip[Recommended]
Create `project-context.md` to ensure AI agents follow your project's rules and preferences. This file works like a constitution for your project — it guides implementation decisions across all workflows. This optional file can be generated at the end of Architecture Creation, or in an existing project it can be generated also to capture whats important to keep aligned with current conventions.
:::
**How to create it:**
- **Manually** — Create `_bmad-output/project-context.md` with your technology stack and implementation rules
- **Generate it** — Run `/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context` to auto-generate from your architecture or codebase
[**Learn more about project-context.md**](../explanation/project-context.md)

title: "Getting Started"
description: Install BMad and build your first project
---
Build software faster using AI-powered workflows with specialized agents that guide you through planning, architecture, and implementation.
## What You'll Learn
- Install and initialize BMad Method for a new project
- Use **BMad-Help** — your intelligent guide that knows what to do next
- Choose the right planning track for your project size
- Progress through phases from requirements to working code
- Use agents and workflows effectively
:::note[Prerequisites]
- **Node.js 20+** — Required for the installer
- **Git** — Recommended for version control
- **AI-powered IDE** — Claude Code, Cursor, or similar
- **A project idea** — Even a simple one works for learning
:::
:::tip[The Easiest Path]
**Install** → `npx bmad-method install`
**Ask** → `/bmad-help what should I do first?`
**Build** → Let BMad-Help guide you workflow by workflow
:::
## Meet BMad-Help: Your Intelligent Guide
**BMad-Help is the fastest way to get started with BMad.** You don't need to memorize workflows or phases — just ask, and BMad-Help will:
- **Inspect your project** to see what's already been done
- **Show your options** based on which modules you have installed
- **Recommend what's next** — including the first required task
- **Answer questions** like "I have a SaaS idea, where do I start?"
### How to Use BMad-Help
Run it in your AI IDE with just the slash command:
```
/bmad-help
```
Or combine it with a question for context-aware guidance:
```
/bmad-help I have an idea for a SaaS product, I already know all the features I want. where do I get started?
```
BMad-Help will respond with:
- What's recommended for your situation
- What the first required task is
- What the rest of the process looks like
### It Powers Workflows Too
BMad-Help doesn't just answer questions — **it automatically runs at the end of every workflow** to tell you exactly what to do next. No guessing, no searching docs — just clear guidance on the next required workflow.
:::tip[Start Here]
After installing BMad, run `/bmad-help` immediately. It will detect what modules you have installed and guide you to the right starting point for your project.
:::
## Understanding BMad
BMad helps you build software through guided workflows with specialized AI agents. The process follows four phases:
| Phase | Name | What Happens |
| ----- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Analysis | Brainstorming, research, product brief *(optional)* |
| 2 | Planning | Create requirements (PRD or tech-spec) |
| 3 | Solutioning | Design architecture *(BMad Method/Enterprise only)* |
| 4 | Implementation | Build epic by epic, story by story |
**[Open the Workflow Map](../reference/workflow-map.md)** to explore phases, workflows, and context management.
Based on your project's complexity, BMad offers three planning tracks:
| Track | Best For | Documents Created |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| **Quick Flow** | Bug fixes, simple features, clear scope (1-15 stories) | Tech-spec only |
| **BMad Method** | Products, platforms, complex features (10-50+ stories) | PRD + Architecture + UX |
| **Enterprise** | Compliance, multi-tenant systems (30+ stories) | PRD + Architecture + Security + DevOps |
:::note
Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Choose your track based on planning needs, not story math.
:::
## Installation
Open a terminal in your project directory and run:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
```
When prompted to select modules, choose **BMad Method**.
The installer creates two folders:
- `_bmad/` — agents, workflows, tasks, and configuration
- `_bmad-output/` — empty for now, but this is where your artifacts will be saved
:::tip[Your Next Step]
Open your AI IDE in the project folder and run:
```
/bmad-help
```
BMad-Help will detect what you've completed and recommend exactly what to do next. You can also ask it questions like "What are my options?" or "I have a SaaS idea, where should I start?"
:::
:::note[How to Load Agents and Run Workflows]
Each workflow has a **slash command** you run in your IDE (e.g., `/bmad-bmm-create-prd`). Running a workflow command automatically loads the appropriate agent — you don't need to load agents separately. You can also load an agent directly for general conversation (e.g., `/bmad-agent-bmm-pm` for the PM agent).
:::
:::caution[Fresh Chats]
Always start a fresh chat for each workflow. This prevents context limitations from causing issues.
:::
## Step 1: Create Your Plan
Work through phases 1-3. **Use fresh chats for each workflow.**
:::tip[Project Context (Optional)]
Before starting, consider creating `project-context.md` to document your technical preferences and implementation rules. This ensures all AI agents follow your conventions throughout the project.
Create it manually at `_bmad-output/project-context.md` or generate it after architecture using `/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context`. [Learn more](../explanation/project-context.md).
:::
### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
All workflows in this phase are optional:
- **brainstorming** (`/bmad-brainstorming`) — Guided ideation
- **research** (`/bmad-bmm-research`) — Market and technical research
- **create-product-brief** (`/bmad-bmm-create-product-brief`) — Recommended foundation document
### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:**
1. Load the **PM agent** (`/bmad-agent-bmm-pm`) in a new chat
2. Run the `prd` workflow (`/bmad-bmm-create-prd`)
3. Output: `PRD.md`
**For Quick Flow track:**
- Use the `quick-spec` workflow (`/bmad-bmm-quick-spec`) instead of PRD, then skip to implementation
:::note[UX Design (Optional)]
If your project has a user interface, load the **UX-Designer agent** (`/bmad-agent-bmm-ux-designer`) and run the UX design workflow (`/bmad-bmm-create-ux-design`) after creating your PRD.
:::
### Phase 3: Solutioning (BMad Method/Enterprise)
**Create Architecture**
1. Load the **Architect agent** (`/bmad-agent-bmm-architect`) in a new chat
2. Run `create-architecture` (`/bmad-bmm-create-architecture`)
3. Output: Architecture document with technical decisions
**Create Epics and Stories**
:::tip[V6 Improvement]
Epics and stories are now created *after* architecture. This produces better quality stories because architecture decisions (database, API patterns, tech stack) directly affect how work should be broken down.
:::
1. Load the **PM agent** (`/bmad-agent-bmm-pm`) in a new chat
2. Run `create-epics-and-stories` (`/bmad-bmm-create-epics-and-stories`)
3. The workflow uses both PRD and Architecture to create technically-informed stories
**Implementation Readiness Check** *(Highly Recommended)*
1. Load the **Architect agent** (`/bmad-agent-bmm-architect`) in a new chat
2. Run `check-implementation-readiness` (`/bmad-bmm-check-implementation-readiness`)
3. Validates cohesion across all planning documents
## Step 2: Build Your Project
Once planning is complete, move to implementation. **Each workflow should run in a fresh chat.**
### Initialize Sprint Planning
Load the **SM agent** (`/bmad-agent-bmm-sm`) and run `sprint-planning` (`/bmad-bmm-sprint-planning`). This creates `sprint-status.yaml` to track all epics and stories.
### The Build Cycle
For each story, repeat this cycle with fresh chats:
| Step | Agent | Workflow | Command | Purpose |
| ---- | ----- | -------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| 1 | SM | `create-story` | `/bmad-bmm-create-story` | Create story file from epic |
| 2 | DEV | `dev-story` | `/bmad-bmm-dev-story` | Implement the story |
| 3 | DEV | `code-review` | `/bmad-bmm-code-review` | Quality validation *(recommended)* |
After completing all stories in an epic, load the **SM agent** (`/bmad-agent-bmm-sm`) and run `retrospective` (`/bmad-bmm-retrospective`).
## What You've Accomplished
You've learned the foundation of building with BMad:
- Installed BMad and configured it for your IDE
- Initialized a project with your chosen planning track
- Created planning documents (PRD, Architecture, Epics & Stories)
- Understood the build cycle for implementation
Your project now has:
```text
your-project/
├── _bmad/ # BMad configuration
├── _bmad-output/
│ ├── planning-artifacts/
│ │ ├── PRD.md # Your requirements document
│ │ ├── architecture.md # Technical decisions
│ │ └── epics/ # Epic and story files
│ ├── implementation-artifacts/
│ │ └── sprint-status.yaml # Sprint tracking
│ └── project-context.md # Implementation rules (optional)
└── ...
```
## Quick Reference
| Workflow | Command | Agent | Purpose |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | --------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **`help`** ⭐ | `/bmad-help` | Any | **Your intelligent guide — ask anything!** |
| `prd` | `/bmad-bmm-create-prd` | PM | Create Product Requirements Document |
| `create-architecture` | `/bmad-bmm-create-architecture` | Architect | Create architecture document |
| `generate-project-context` | `/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context` | Analyst | Create project context file |
| `create-epics-and-stories` | `/bmad-bmm-create-epics-and-stories` | PM | Break down PRD into epics |
| `check-implementation-readiness` | `/bmad-bmm-check-implementation-readiness` | Architect | Validate planning cohesion |
| `sprint-planning` | `/bmad-bmm-sprint-planning` | SM | Initialize sprint tracking |
| `create-story` | `/bmad-bmm-create-story` | SM | Create a story file |
| `dev-story` | `/bmad-bmm-dev-story` | DEV | Implement a story |
| `code-review` | `/bmad-bmm-code-review` | DEV | Review implemented code |
## Common Questions
**Do I always need architecture?**
Only for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks. Quick Flow skips from tech-spec to implementation.
**Can I change my plan later?**
Yes. The SM agent has a `correct-course` workflow (`/bmad-bmm-correct-course`) for handling scope changes.
**What if I want to brainstorm first?**
Load the Analyst agent (`/bmad-agent-bmm-analyst`) and run `brainstorming` (`/bmad-brainstorming`) before starting your PRD.
**Do I need to follow a strict order?**
Not strictly. Once you learn the flow, you can run workflows directly using the Quick Reference above.
## Getting Help
:::tip[First Stop: BMad-Help]
**Run `/bmad-help` anytime** — it's the fastest way to get unstuck. Ask it anything:
- "What should I do after installing?"
- "I'm stuck on workflow X"
- "What are my options for Y?"
- "Show me what's been done so far"
BMad-Help inspects your project, detects what you've completed, and tells you exactly what to do next.
:::
- **During workflows** — Agents guide you with questions and explanations
- **Community** — [Discord](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) (#bmad-method-help, #report-bugs-and-issues)
## Key Takeaways
:::tip[Remember These]
- **Start with `/bmad-help`** — Your intelligent guide that knows your project and options
- **Always use fresh chats** — Start a new chat for each workflow
- **Track matters** — Quick Flow uses quick-spec; Method/Enterprise need PRD and architecture
- **BMad-Help runs automatically** — Every workflow ends with guidance on what's next

# Technical Documentation Standards for BMAD
CommonMark standards, technical writing best practices, and style guide compliance.
## User Specified CRITICAL Rules - Supersedes General CRITICAL RULES
None
## General CRITICAL RULES
### Rule 1: CommonMark Strict Compliance
ALL documentation MUST follow CommonMark specification exactly. No exceptions.
### Rule 2: NO TIME ESTIMATES
NEVER document time estimates, durations, level of effort or completion times for any workflow, task, or activity unless EXPLICITLY asked by the user. This includes:
- NO Workflow execution time (e.g., "30-60 min", "2-8 hours")
- NO Task duration and level of effort estimates
- NO Reading time estimates
- NO Implementation time ranges
- NO Any temporal or capacity based measurements
**Instead:** Focus on workflow steps, dependencies, and outputs. Let users determine their own timelines and level of effort.
### CommonMark Essentials
**Headers:**
- Use ATX-style ONLY: `#` `##` `###` (NOT Setext underlines)
- Single space after `#`: `# Title` (NOT `#Title`)
- No trailing `#`: `# Title` (NOT `# Title #`)
- Hierarchical order: Don't skip levels (h1→h2→h3, not h1→h3)
**Code Blocks:**
- Use fenced blocks with language identifier:
````markdown
```javascript
const example = 'code';
```
````
- NOT indented code blocks (ambiguous)
**Lists:**
- Consistent markers within list: all `-` or all `*` or all `+` (don't mix)
- Proper indentation for nested items (2 or 4 spaces, stay consistent)
- Blank line before/after list for clarity
**Links:**
- Inline: `[text](url)`
- Reference: `[text][ref]` then `[ref]: url` at bottom
- NO bare URLs without `<>` brackets
**Emphasis:**
- Italic: `*text*` or `_text_`
- Bold: `**text**` or `__text__`
- Consistent style within document
**Line Breaks:**
- Two spaces at end of line + newline, OR
- Blank line between paragraphs
- NO single line breaks (they're ignored)
## Mermaid Diagrams: Valid Syntax Required
**Critical Rules:**
1. Always specify diagram type first line
2. Use valid Mermaid v10+ syntax
3. Test syntax before outputting (mental validation)
4. Keep focused: 5-10 nodes ideal, max 15
**Diagram Type Selection:**
- **flowchart** - Process flows, decision trees, workflows
- **sequenceDiagram** - API interactions, message flows, time-based processes
- **classDiagram** - Object models, class relationships, system structure
- **erDiagram** - Database schemas, entity relationships
- **stateDiagram-v2** - State machines, lifecycle stages
- **gitGraph** - Branch strategies, version control flows
**Formatting:**
````markdown
```mermaid
flowchart TD
Start[Clear Label] --> Decision{Question?}
Decision -->|Yes| Action1[Do This]
Decision -->|No| Action2[Do That]
```
````
## Style Guide Principles (Distilled)
Apply in this hierarchy:
1. **Project-specific guide** (if exists) - always ask first
2. **BMAD conventions** (this document)
3. **Google Developer Docs style** (defaults below)
4. **CommonMark spec** (when in doubt)
### Core Writing Rules
**Task-Oriented Focus:**
- Write for user GOALS, not feature lists
- Start with WHY, then HOW
- Every doc answers: "What can I accomplish?"
**Clarity Principles:**
- Active voice: "Click the button" NOT "The button should be clicked"
- Present tense: "The function returns" NOT "The function will return"
- Direct language: "Use X for Y" NOT "X can be used for Y"
- Second person: "You configure" NOT "Users configure" or "One configures"
**Structure:**
- One idea per sentence
- One topic per paragraph
- Headings describe content accurately
- Examples follow explanations
**Accessibility:**
- Descriptive link text: "See the API reference" NOT "Click here"
- Alt text for diagrams: Describe what it shows
- Semantic heading hierarchy (don't skip levels)
- Tables have headers
## OpenAPI/API Documentation
**Required Elements:**
- Endpoint path and method
- Authentication requirements
- Request parameters (path, query, body) with types
- Request example (realistic, working)
- Response schema with types
- Response examples (success + common errors)
- Error codes and meanings
**Quality Standards:**
- OpenAPI 3.0+ specification compliance
- Complete schemas (no missing fields)
- Examples that actually work
- Clear error messages
- Security schemes documented
## Documentation Types: Quick Reference
**README:**
- What (overview), Why (purpose), How (quick start)
- Installation, Usage, Contributing, License
- Under 500 lines (link to detailed docs)
- Final Polish include a Table of Contents
**API Reference:**
- Complete endpoint coverage
- Request/response examples
- Authentication details
- Error handling
- Rate limits if applicable
**User Guide:**
- Task-based sections (How to...)
- Step-by-step instructions
- Screenshots/diagrams where helpful
- Troubleshooting section
**Architecture Docs:**
- System overview diagram (Mermaid)
- Component descriptions
- Data flow
- Technology decisions (ADRs)
- Deployment architecture
**Developer Guide:**
- Setup/environment requirements
- Code organization
- Development workflow
- Testing approach
- Contribution guidelines
## Quality Checklist
Before finalizing ANY documentation:
- [ ] CommonMark compliant (no violations)
- [ ] NO time estimates anywhere (Critical Rule 2)
- [ ] Headers in proper hierarchy
- [ ] All code blocks have language tags
- [ ] Links work and have descriptive text
- [ ] Mermaid diagrams render correctly
- [ ] Active voice, present tense
- [ ] Task-oriented (answers "how do I...")
- [ ] Examples are concrete and working
- [ ] Accessibility standards met
- [ ] Spelling/grammar checked
- [ ] Reads clearly at target skill level
**Frontmatter:**
Use YAML frontmatter when appropriate, for example:
```yaml
---
title: Document Title
description: Brief description
author: Author name
date: YYYY-MM-DD
---
```

# Step 1: Product Brief Initialization
## STEP GOAL:
Initialize the product brief workflow by detecting continuation state and setting up the document structure for collaborative product discovery.
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
### Universal Rules:
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
### Role Reinforcement:
- ✅ You are a product-focused Business Analyst facilitator
- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
- ✅ You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
- ✅ Maintain collaborative discovery tone throughout
### Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus only on initialization and setup - no content generation yet
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to look ahead to future steps or assume knowledge from them
- 💬 Approach: Systematic setup with clear reporting to user
- 📋 Detect existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show your analysis of current state before taking any action
- 💾 Initialize document structure and update frontmatter appropriately
- 📖 Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until user selects 'C' (Continue)
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
- Focus: Workflow initialization and document setup only
- Limits: Don't assume knowledge from other steps or create content yet
- Dependencies: Configuration loaded from workflow.md initialization
## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
### 1. Check for Existing Workflow State
First, check if the output document already exists:
**Workflow State Detection:**
- Look for file `{outputFile}`
- If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
- If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
**Continuation Protocol:**
- **STOP immediately** and load `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/create-product-brief/steps/step-01b-continue.md`
- Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
- Let step-01b handle all continuation logic
- This is an auto-proceed situation - no user choice needed
### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
#### A. Input Document Discovery
load context documents using smart discovery. Documents can be in the following locations:
- {planning_artifacts}/**
- {output_folder}/**
- {product_knowledge}/**
- docs/**
Also - when searching - documents can be a single markdown file, or a folder with an index and multiple files. For Example, if searching for `*foo*.md` and not found, also search for a folder called *foo*/index.md (which indicates sharded content)
Try to discover the following:
- Brainstorming Reports (`*brainstorming*.md`)
- Research Documents (`*research*.md`)
- Project Documentation (generally multiple documents might be found for this in the `{product_knowledge}` or `docs` folder.)
- Project Context (`**/project-context.md`)
<critical>Confirm what you have found with the user, along with asking if the user wants to provide anything else. Only after this confirmation will you proceed to follow the loading rules</critical>
**Loading Rules:**
- Load ALL discovered files completely that the user confirmed or provided (no offset/limit)
- If there is a project context, whatever is relevant should try to be biased in the remainder of this whole workflow process
- For sharded folders, load ALL files to get complete picture, using the index first to potentially know the potential of each document
- index.md is a guide to what's relevant whenever available
- Track all successfully loaded files in frontmatter `inputDocuments` array
#### B. Create Initial Document
**Document Setup:**
- Copy the template from `{productBriefTemplate}` to `{outputFile}`, and update the frontmatter fields
#### C. Present Initialization Results
**Setup Report to User:**
"Welcome {{user_name}}! I've set up your product brief workspace for {{project_name}}.
**Document Setup:**
- Created: `{outputFile}` from template
- Initialized frontmatter with workflow state
**Input Documents Discovered:**
- Research: {number of research files loaded or "None found"}
- Brainstorming: {number of brainstorming files loaded or "None found"}
- Project docs: {number of project files loaded or "None found"}
- Project Context: {number of project context files loaded or "None found"}
**Files loaded:** {list of specific file names or "No additional documents found"}
Do you have any other documents you'd like me to include, or shall we continue to the next step?"
### 4. Present MENU OPTIONS
Display: "**Proceeding to product vision discovery...**"
#### Menu Handling Logic:
- After setup report is presented, without delay, read fully and follow: {nextStepFile}
#### EXECUTION RULES:
- This is an initialization step with auto-proceed after setup completion
- Proceed directly to next step after document setup and reporting
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
ONLY WHEN [setup completion is achieved and frontmatter properly updated], will you then read fully and follow: `{nextStepFile}` to begin product vision discovery.
---
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- Existing workflow detected and properly handed off to step-01b
- Fresh workflow initialized with template and proper frontmatter
- Input documents discovered and loaded using sharded-first logic
- All discovered files tracked in frontmatter `inputDocuments`
- Menu presented and user input handled correctly
- Frontmatter updated with `stepsCompleted: [1]` before proceeding
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Proceeding with fresh initialization when existing workflow exists
- Not updating frontmatter with discovered input documents
- Creating document without proper template structure
- Not checking sharded folders first before whole files
- Not reporting discovered documents to user clearly
- Proceeding without user selecting 'C' (Continue)
**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
