Load the agent using agent reference (e.g., type `@pm` in Claude Code) -2. Wait for agent menu to appear in chat -3. Type the workflow trigger with `*` prefix (e.g., `*create-prd`) -4. Follow the workflow prompts - -**Agent Menu Structure:** -Each agent displays their available workflows when loaded. Look for: - -- `*` prefix indicates workflow trigger -- Grouped by category or phase -- START HERE indicators for recommended entry points - -### Universal Workflows - -Some workflows are available to multiple agents: - -| Workflow | Agents | Purpose | -| ------------------ | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -| `workflow-status` | ALL agents | Check current state and get recommendations | -| `workflow-init` | PM, Analyst, Game Designer | Initialize workflow tracking | -| `correct-course` | PM, Architect, SM, Game Architect | Change management during implementation | -| `document-project` | Analyst, Technical Writer | Brownfield documentation | - -### Validation Actions - -Many workflows have optional validation workflows that perform independent review: - -| Validation | Agent | Validates | -| ---------------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------- | -| `validate-prd` | PM | PRD + Epics + Stories completeness | -| `validate-tech-spec` | PM | Technical specification quality | -| `validate-architecture` | Architect | Architecture document | -| `validate-design` | UX Designer | UX specification and artifacts | -| `validate-epic-tech-context` | SM | Epic technical context | -| `validate-create-story` | SM | Story draft | -| `validate-story-context` | SM | Story context XML | - -**When to use validation:** - -- Before phase transitions -- For critical documents -- When learning BMM -- For high-stakes projects - ---- - -## Agent Customization - -You can customize any agent's personality without modifying core agent files. - -### Location - -**Customization Directory:** `{project-root}/bmad/_cfg/agents/` - -**Naming Convention:** `{module}-{agent-name}.customize.yaml` - -**Examples:** - -``` -bmad/_cfg/agents/ -├── bmm-pm.customize.yaml -├── bmm-dev.customize.yaml -├── cis-storyteller.customize.yaml -└── bmb-bmad-builder.customize.yaml -``` - -### Override Structure - -**File Format:** - -```yaml -agent: - persona: - displayName: 'Custom Name' # Optional: Override display name - communicationStyle: 'Custom style description' # Optional: Override style - principles: # Optional: Add or replace principles - - 'Custom principle for this project' - - 'Another project-specific guideline' -``` - -### Override Behavior - -**Precedence:** Customization > Manifest - -**Merge Rules:** - -- If field specified in customization, it replaces manifest value -- If field NOT specified, manifest value used -- Additional fields are added to agent personality -- Changes apply immediately when agent loaded - -### Use Cases - -**Adjust Formality:** - -```yaml -agent: - persona: - communicationStyle: 'Formal and corporate-focused. Uses business terminology. Structured responses with executive summaries.' -``` - -**Add Domain Expertise:** - -```yaml -agent: - persona: - identity: | - Expert Product Manager with 15 years experience in healthcare SaaS. - Deep understanding of HIPAA compliance, EHR integrations, and clinical workflows. - Specializes in balancing regulatory requirements with user experience. -``` - -**Modify Principles:** - -```yaml -agent: - persona: - principles: - - 'HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable' - - 'Prioritize patient safety over feature velocity' - - 'Every feature must have clinical validation' -``` - -**Change Personality:** - -```yaml -agent: - persona: - displayName: 'Alex' # Change from default "Amelia" - communicationStyle: 'Casual and friendly. Uses emojis. Explains technical concepts in simple terms.' -``` - -### Party Mode Integration - -Customizations automatically apply in party mode: - -1. Party mode reads manifest -2. Checks for customization files -3. Merges customizations with manifest -4. Agents respond with customized personalities - -**Example:** - -``` -You customize PM with healthcare expertise. -In party mode, PM now brings healthcare knowledge to discussions. -Other agents collaborate with PM's specialized perspective. -``` - -### Applying Customizations - -**IMPORTANT:** Customizations don't take effect until you rebuild the agents. - -**Complete Process:** - -**Step 1: Create/Modify Customization File** - -```bash -# Create customization file at: -# {project-root}/bmad/_cfg/agents/{module}-{agent-name}.customize.yaml - -# Example: bmad/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml -``` - -**Step 2: Regenerate Agent Manifest** - -After modifying customization files, you must regenerate the agent manifest and rebuild agents: - -```bash -# Run the installer to apply customizations -npx bmad-method install - -# The installer will: -# 1. Read all customization files -# 2. Regenerate agent-manifest.csv with merged data -# 3. Rebuild agent .md files with customizations applied -``` - -**Step 3: Verify Changes** - -Load the customized agent and verify the changes are reflected in its behavior and responses. - -**Why This is Required:** - -- Customization files are just configuration - they don't change agents directly -- The agent manifest must be regenerated to merge customizations -- Agent .md files must be rebuilt with the merged data -- Party mode and all workflows load agents from the rebuilt files - -### Best Practices - -1. **Keep it project-specific:** Customize for your domain, not general changes -2. **Don't break character:** Keep customizations aligned with agent's core role -3. **Test in party mode:** See how customizations interact with other agents -4. **Document why:** Add comments explaining customization purpose -5. **Share with team:** Customizations survive updates, can be version controlled -6. **Rebuild after changes:** Always run installer after modifying customization files - ---- - -## Best Practices - -### Agent Selection - -**1. Start with workflow-status** - -- When unsure where you are, load any agent and run `*workflow-status` -- Agent will analyze current project state and recommend next steps -- Works across all phases and all agents - -**2. Match phase to agent** - -- **Phase 1 (Analysis):** Analyst, Game Designer -- **Phase 2 (Planning):** PM, UX Designer, Game Designer -- **Phase 3 (Solutioning):** Architect, Game Architect -- **Phase 4 (Implementation):** SM, DEV, Game Developer -- **Testing:** TEA (all phases) -- **Documentation:** Technical Writer (all phases) - -**3. Use specialists** - -- **Testing:** TEA for comprehensive quality strategy -- **Documentation:** Technical Writer for technical writing -- **Games:** Game Designer/Developer/Architect for game-specific needs -- **UX:** UX Designer for user-centered design - -**4. Try party mode for:** - -- Strategic decisions with trade-offs -- Creative brainstorming sessions -- Cross-functional alignment -- Complex problem solving - -### Working with Agents - -**1. Trust their expertise** - -- Agents embody decades of simulated experience -- Their questions uncover critical issues -- Their recommendations are data-informed -- Their warnings prevent costly mistakes - -**2. Answer their questions** - -- Agents ask for important reasons -- Incomplete answers lead to assumptions -- Detailed responses yield better outcomes -- "I don't know" is a valid answer - -**3. Follow workflows** - -- Structured processes prevent missed steps -- Workflows encode best practices -- Sequential workflows build on each other -- Validation workflows catch errors early - -**4. Customize when needed** - -- Adjust agent personalities for your project -- Add domain-specific expertise -- Modify communication style for team preferences -- Keep customizations project-specific - -### Common Workflows Patterns - -**Starting a New Project (Greenfield):** - -``` -1.

Always Document First - -Even if you know the code, AI agents need `document-project` output for context. Run it before planning. - -### 2. Be Specific About Current Work - -When workflow-init asks about your work: - -- ✅ "Update payment method enums to include Apple Pay" -- ❌ "Fix stuff" - -### 3. Choose Right Documentation Approach - -- **Has good docs, no index?** → Run `index-docs` task (fast) -- **No docs or need codebase analysis?** → Run `document-project` (Deep scan) - -### 4. Respect Existing Patterns - -Tech-spec and story-context will detect conventions. Follow them unless explicitly modernizing. - -### 5. Plan Integration Points Explicitly - -Document in tech-spec/architecture: - -- Which existing modules you'll modify -- What APIs/services you'll integrate with -- How data flows between new and existing code - -### 6. Design for Gradual Rollout - -- Use feature flags for new functionality -- Plan rollback strategies -- Maintain backward compatibility -- Create migration scripts if needed - -### 7. Test Integration Thoroughly - -- Regression testing of existing features -- Integration point validation -- Performance impact assessment -- API contract verification - -### 8. Use Sprint Planning Effectively - -- Run `sprint-planning` at Phase 4 start -- Context epics before drafting stories -- Update `sprint-status.yaml` as work progresses - -### 9. Leverage Context Injection - -- Run `epic-tech-context` before story drafting -- Always create `story-context` before implementation -- These reference existing patterns for consistency - -### 10.

The emergence of AI agents is creating a new breed of technical product leaders who translate vision directly into working code. - -### From Spec Writers to Code Orchestrators - -**Traditional PM/UX (Pre-2025):** - -- Write PRDs, hand off to engineering -- Wait weeks/months for implementation -- Limited validation capabilities -- Non-technical role, heavy on process - -**Emerging PM/UX (2025+):** - -- Write AI-optimized PRDs that **feed agentic pipelines directly** -- Generate working prototypes in 10-15 minutes -- Review pull requests from AI agents -- Technical fluency is **table stakes**, not optional -- Orchestrate cloud-based AI agent teams - -### Industry Research (November 2025) - -- **56% of product professionals** cite AI/ML as top focus -- **AI agents automating** customer discovery, PRD creation, status reporting -- **PRD-to-Code automation** enables PMs to build and deploy apps in 10-15 minutes -- **By 2026**: Roles converging into "Full-Stack Product Lead" (PM + Design + Engineering) -- **Very high salaries** for AI agent PMs who orchestrate autonomous dev systems - -### Required Skills for Modern PMs/UX - -1. **AI Prompt Engineering** - Writing PRDs AI agents can execute autonomously -2. **Coding Literacy** - Understanding code structure, APIs, data flows (not production coding) -3. **Agentic Workflow Design** - Orchestrating multi-agent systems (planning → design → dev) -4. **Technical Architecture** - Reasoning frameworks, memory systems, tool integration -5. **Data Literacy** - Interpreting model outputs, spotting trends, identifying gaps -6. **Code Review** - Evaluating AI-generated PRs for correctness and vision alignment - -### What Remains Human - -**AI Can't Replace:** - -- Product vision (market dynamics, customer pain, strategic positioning) -- Empathy (deep user research, emotional intelligence, stakeholder management) -- Creativity (novel problem-solving, disruptive thinking) -- Judgment (prioritization decisions, trade-off analysis) -- Ethics (responsible AI use, privacy, accessibility) - -**What Changes:** - -- PMs/UX spend **more time on human elements** (AI handles routine execution) -- Barrier between "thinking" and "building" collapses -- Product leaders become **builder-thinkers**, not just spec writers - -### The Convergence - -- **PMs learning to code** with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0 -- **UX designers generating code** with UXPin Merge, Figma-to-code tools -- **Developers becoming orchestrators** reviewing AI output vs writing from scratch - -**The Bottom Line:** By 2026, successful PMs/UX will fluently operate in both vision and execution. **BMad Method provides the structured framework to make this transition.** - ---- - -## How BMad Method Enables PM/UX Technical Evolution - -BMad Method is specifically designed to position PMs and UX designers for this future. - -### 1. AI-Executable PRD Generation - -**PM Workflow:** - -```bash -bmad pm *create-prd -``` - -**BMad produces:** - -- Structured, machine-readable requirements -- Testable acceptance criteria per requirement -- Clear epic/story decomposition -- Technical context for AI agents - -**Why it matters:** Traditional PRDs are human-readable prose. BMad PRDs are **AI-executable work packages**. - -**PM Value:** Write once, automatically translated into agent-ready stories. No engineering bottleneck for translation. - -### 2. Automated Epic/Story Breakdown - -**PM Workflow:** - -```bash -bmad pm *create-epics-and-stories -``` - -**BMad produces:** - -- Epic files with clear objectives -- Story files with acceptance criteria, context, technical guidance -- Priority assignments (P0-P3) -- Dependency mapping - -**Why it matters:** Stories become **work packages for cloud AI agents**. Each story is self-contained with full context. - -**PM Value:** No more "story refinement sessions" with engineering. AI agents execute directly from BMad stories. - -### 3. Human-in-the-Loop Architecture - -**Architect/PM Workflow:** - -```bash -bmad architect *create-architecture -``` - -**BMad produces:** - -- System architecture aligned with PRD -- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) -- Epic-specific technical guidance -- Integration patterns and standards - -**Why it matters:** PMs can **understand and validate** technical decisions. Architecture is conversational, not template-driven. - -**PM Value:** Technical fluency built through guided architecture process. PMs learn while creating. - -### 4. Cloud Agentic Pipeline (Emerging Pattern) - -**Current State (2025):** - -``` -PM writes BMad PRD - ↓ -create-epics-and-stories generates story queue - ↓ -Stories loaded by human developers + BMad agents - ↓ -Developers create PRs - ↓ -PM/Team reviews PRs - ↓ -Merge and deploy -``` - -**Near Future (2026):** - -``` -PM writes BMad PRD - ↓ -create-epics-and-stories generates story queue - ↓ -Stories automatically fed to cloud AI agent pool - ↓ -AI agents implement stories in parallel - ↓ -AI agents create pull requests - ↓ -PM/UX/Senior Devs review PRs - ↓ -Approved PRs auto-merge - ↓ -Continuous deployment to production -``` - -**Time Savings:** - -- **Traditional:** PM writes spec → 2-4 weeks engineering → review → deploy (6-8 weeks) -- **BMad Agentic:** PM writes PRD → AI agents implement → review PRs → deploy (2-5 days) - -### 5. UX Design Integration - -**UX Designer Workflow:** - -```bash -bmad ux *create-design -``` - -**BMad produces:** - -- Component-based design system -- Interaction patterns aligned with tech stack -- Accessibility guidelines -- Responsive design specifications - -**Why it matters:** Design specs become **implementation-ready** for AI agents. No "lost in translation" between design and dev. - -**UX Value:** Designs validated through working prototypes, not static mocks. Technical understanding built through BMad workflows. - -### 6. PM Technical Skills Development - -**BMad teaches PMs technical skills through:** - -- **Conversational workflows** - No pre-requisite knowledge, learn by doing -- **Architecture facilitation** - Understand system design through guided questions -- **Story context assembly** - See how code patterns inform implementation -- **Code review workflows** - Learn to evaluate code quality, patterns, standards - -**Example:** PM runs `create-architecture` workflow: - -- BMad asks about scale, performance, integrations -- PM answers business questions -- BMad explains technical implications -- PM learns architecture concepts while making decisions - -**Result:** PMs gain **working technical knowledge** without formal CS education. - -### 7. Organizational Leverage - -**Traditional Model:** - -- 1 PM → supports 5-9 developers → delivers 1-2 features/quarter - -**BMad Agentic Model:** - -- 1 PM → writes BMad PRD → 20-50 AI agents execute stories in parallel → delivers 5-10 features/quarter - -**Leverage multiplier:** 5-10× with same PM headcount. - -### 8. Quality Consistency - -**BMad ensures:** - -- AI agents follow architectural patterns consistently (via story-context) -- Code standards applied uniformly (via epic-tech-context) -- PRD traceability throughout implementation (via acceptance criteria) -- No "telephone game" between PM, design, and dev - -**PM Value:** What gets built **matches what was specified**, drastically reducing rework. - -### 9. Rapid Prototyping for Validation - -**PM Workflow (with BMad + Cursor/v0):** - -1. Use BMad to generate PRD structure and requirements -2. Extract key user flow from PRD -3.

Epic Ownership - -- **Do:** Assign entire epic to one developer (context → implementation → retro) -- **Don't:** Split epics across multiple developers (coordination overhead, context loss) - -### 2. Dependency Management - -- **Do:** Identify epic dependencies in planning, document API contracts, complete prerequisites first -- **Don't:** Start dependent epic before prerequisite ready, change API contracts without coordination - -### 3. Communication Cadence - -**Traditional:** Daily standups essential -**Agentic:** Lighter coordination - -**Recommended:** - -- Daily async updates ("Epic 1, 60% complete, no blockers") -- Twice-weekly 15min sync -- Epic completion demos -- Sprint retro after all epics complete - -### 4. Branch Strategy - -```bash -feature/epic-1-payment-processing (Alice) -feature/epic-2-user-dashboard (Bob) -feature/epic-3-admin-panel (Carol) - -# PR and merge when epic complete -``` - -### 5. Testing Strategy - -- **Story-level:** Unit tests (DoD requirement, written by agent during dev-story) -- **Epic-level:** Integration tests across stories -- **Project-level:** E2E tests after multiple epics complete - -### 6. Documentation Updates - -- **Real-time:** `sprint-status.yaml` updated by workflows -- **Epic completion:** Update architecture docs, API docs, README if changed -- **Sprint completion:** Incorporate retrospective insights - -### 7.

However, workflow-init is helpful because it: - -- Determines your project's appropriate level automatically -- Creates the tracking status file -- Routes you to the correct starting workflow - -For experienced users: use the [Quick Reference](./quick-start.md#quick-reference-agent--document-mapping) to go directly to the right agent/workflow. - -### Q: Why do I need fresh chats for each workflow? - -**A:** Context-intensive workflows (like brainstorming, PRD creation, architecture design) can cause AI hallucinations if run in sequence within the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow. This is particularly important for: - -- Planning workflows (PRD, architecture) -- Analysis workflows (brainstorming, research) -- Complex story implementation - -Quick workflows like status checks can reuse chats safely. - -### Q: Can I skip workflow-status and just start working? - -**A:** Yes, if you already know your project level and which workflow comes next. workflow-status is mainly useful for: - -- New projects (guides initial setup) -- When you're unsure what to do next -- After breaks in work (reminds you where you left off) -- Checking overall progress - -### Q: What's the minimum I need to get started? - -**A:** For the fastest path: - -1. Install BMad Method: `npx bmad-method@alpha install` -2. For small changes: Load PM agent → run tech-spec → implement -3. For larger projects: Load PM agent → run prd → architect → implement - -### Q: How do I know if I'm in Phase 1, 2, 3, or 4? - -**A:** Check your `bmm-workflow-status.md` file (created by workflow-init). It shows your current phase and progress. If you don't have this file, you can also tell by what you're working on: - -- **Phase 1** - Brainstorming, research, product brief (optional) -- **Phase 2** - Creating either a PRD or tech-spec (always required) -- **Phase 3** - Architecture design (Level 2-4 only) -- **Phase 4** - Actually writing code, implementing stories - ---- - -## Choosing the Right Level - -### Q: How do I know which level my project is? - -**A:** Use workflow-init for automatic detection, or self-assess using these keywords: - -- **Level 0:** "fix", "bug", "typo", "small change", "patch" → 1 story -- **Level 1:** "simple", "basic", "small feature", "add" → 2-10 stories -- **Level 2:** "dashboard", "several features", "admin panel" → 5-15 stories -- **Level 3:** "platform", "integration", "complex", "system" → 12-40 stories -- **Level 4:** "enterprise", "multi-tenant", "multiple products" → 40+ stories - -When in doubt, start smaller. You can always run create-prd later if needed. - -### Q: Can I change levels mid-project? - -**A:** Yes! If you started at Level 1 but realize it's Level 2, you can run create-prd to add proper planning docs. The system is flexible - your initial level choice isn't permanent. - -### Q: What if workflow-init suggests the wrong level? - -**A:** You can override it! workflow-init suggests a level but always asks for confirmation. If you disagree, just say so and choose the level you think is appropriate. Trust your judgment. - -### Q: Do I always need architecture for Level 2? - -**A:** No, architecture is **optional** for Level 2. Only create architecture if you need system-level design. Many Level 2 projects work fine with just PRD + epic-tech-context created during implementation. - -### Q: What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2? - -**A:** - -- **Level 1:** 1-10 stories, uses tech-spec (simpler, faster), no architecture -- **Level 2:** 5-15 stories, uses PRD (product-focused), optional architecture - -The overlap (5-10 stories) is intentional. Choose based on: - -- Need product-level planning? → Level 2 -- Just need technical plan? → Level 1 -- Multiple epics? → Level 2 -- Single epic? → Level 1 - ---- - -## Workflows & Phases - -### Q: What's the difference between workflow-status and workflow-init? - -**A:** - -- **workflow-status:** Checks existing status and tells you what's next (use when continuing work) -- **workflow-init:** Creates new status file and sets up project (use when starting new project) - -If status file exists, use workflow-status. If not, use workflow-init. - -### Q: Can I skip Phase 1 (Analysis)? - -**A:** Yes! Phase 1 is optional for all levels, though recommended for complex projects. Skip if: - -- Requirements are clear -- No research needed -- Time-sensitive work -- Small changes (Level 0-1) - -### Q: When is Phase 3 (Architecture) required? - -**A:** - -- **Level 0-1:** Never (skip entirely) -- **Level 2:** Optional (only if system design needed) -- **Level 3-4:** Required (comprehensive architecture mandatory) - -### Q: What happens if I skip a recommended workflow? - -**A:** Nothing breaks! Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. However, skipping recommended workflows (like architecture for Level 3) may cause: - -- Integration issues during implementation -- Rework due to poor planning -- Conflicting design decisions -- Longer development time overall - -### Q: How do I know when Phase 3 is complete and I can start Phase 4? - -**A:** For Level 3-4, run the solutioning-gate-check workflow. It validates that PRD, architecture, and UX (if applicable) are cohesive before implementation. Pass the gate check = ready for Phase 4. - -### Q: Can I run workflows in parallel or do they have to be sequential? - -**A:** Most workflows must be sequential within a phase: - -- Phase 1: brainstorm → research → product-brief (optional order) -- Phase 2: PRD must complete before moving forward -- Phase 3: architecture → validate → gate-check (sequential) -- Phase 4: Stories within an epic should generally be sequential, but stories in different epics can be parallel if you have capacity - ---- - -## Planning Documents - -### Q: What's the difference between tech-spec and epic-tech-context? - -**A:** - -- **Tech-spec (Level 0-1):** Created upfront in Planning Phase, serves as primary/only planning document, a combination of enough technical and planning information to drive a single or multiple files -- **Epic-tech-context (Level 2-4):** Created during Implementation Phase per epic, supplements PRD + Architecture - -Think of it as: tech-spec is for small projects (replaces PRD and architecture), epic-tech-context is for large projects (supplements PRD). - -### Q: Why no tech-spec at Level 2+? - -**A:** Level 2+ projects need product-level planning (PRD) and system-level design (Architecture), which tech-spec doesn't provide. Tech-spec is too narrow for coordinating multiple features. Instead, Level 2-4 uses: - -- PRD (product vision, requirements, epics) -- Architecture (system design) -- Epic-tech-context (detailed implementation per epic, created just-in-time) - -### Q: When do I create epic-tech-context? - -**A:** In Phase 4, right before implementing each epic. Don't create all epic-tech-context upfront - that's over-planning. Create them just-in-time using the epic-tech-context workflow as you're about to start working on that epic. - -**Why just-in-time?** You'll learn from earlier epics, and those learnings improve later epic-tech-context. - -### Q: Do I need a PRD for a bug fix? - -**A:** No! Bug fixes are typically Level 0 (single atomic change). Use Quick Spec Flow: - -- Load PM agent -- Run tech-spec workflow -- Implement immediately - -PRDs are for Level 2-4 projects with multiple features requiring product-level coordination. - -### Q: Can I skip the product brief? - -**A:** Yes, product brief is always optional. It's most valuable for: - -- Level 3-4 projects needing strategic direction -- Projects with stakeholders requiring alignment -- Novel products needing market research -- When you want to explore solution space before committing - ---- - -## Implementation - -### Q: Do I need story-context for every story? - -**A:** Technically no, but it's recommended. story-context provides implementation-specific guidance, references existing patterns, and injects expertise. Skip it only if: - -- Very simple story (self-explanatory) -- You're already expert in the area -- Time is extremely limited - -For Level 0-1 using tech-spec, story-context is less critical because tech-spec is already comprehensive. - -### Q: What if I don't create epic-tech-context before drafting stories? - -**A:** You can proceed without it, but you'll miss: - -- Epic-level technical direction -- Architecture guidance for this epic -- Integration strategy with other epics -- Common patterns to follow across stories - -epic-tech-context helps ensure stories within an epic are cohesive. - -### Q: How do I mark a story as done? - -**A:** You have two options: - -**Option 1: Use story-done workflow (Recommended)** - -1. Load SM agent -2. Run `story-done` workflow -3. Workflow automatically updates `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning at Phase 4 start) -4. Moves story from current status → `DONE` -5. Advances the story queue - -**Option 2: Manual update** - -1. After dev-story completes and code-review passes -2. Open `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning) -3. Change the story status from `review` to `done` -4. Save the file - -The story-done workflow is faster and ensures proper status file updates. - -### Q: Can I work on multiple stories at once? - -**A:** Yes, if you have capacity! Stories within different epics can be worked in parallel. However, stories within the same epic are usually sequential because they build on each other. - -### Q: What if my story takes longer than estimated? - -**A:** That's normal! Stories are estimates. If implementation reveals more complexity: - -1. Continue working until DoD is met -2. Consider if story should be split -3. Document learnings in retrospective -4. Adjust future estimates based on this learning - -### Q: When should I run retrospective? - -**A:** After completing all stories in an epic (when epic is done). Retrospectives capture: - -- What went well -- What could improve -- Technical insights -- Input for next epic-tech-context - -Don't wait until project end - run after each epic for continuous improvement. - ---- - -## Brownfield Development - -### Q: What is brownfield vs greenfield? - -**A:** - -- **Greenfield:** New project, starting from scratch, clean slate -- **Brownfield:** Existing project, working with established codebase and patterns - -### Q: Do I have to run document-project for brownfield? - -**A:** Highly recommended, especially if: - -- No existing documentation -- Documentation is outdated -- AI agents need context about existing code -- Level 2-4 complexity - -You can skip it if you have comprehensive, up-to-date documentation including `docs/index.md`. - -### Q: What if I forget to run document-project on brownfield? - -**A:** Workflows will lack context about existing code. You may get: - -- Suggestions that don't match existing patterns -- Integration approaches that miss existing APIs -- Architecture that conflicts with current structure - -Run document-project and restart planning with proper context. - -### Q: Can I use Quick Spec Flow for brownfield projects? - -**A:** Yes! Quick Spec Flow works great for brownfield. It will: - -- Auto-detect your existing stack -- Analyze brownfield 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. - -### Q: How does workflow-init handle brownfield with old planning docs? - -**A:** workflow-init asks about YOUR current work first, then uses old artifacts as context: - -1. Shows what it found (old PRD, epics, etc.) -2. Asks: "Is this work in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?" -3. If previous effort: Asks you to describe your NEW work -4. Determines level based on YOUR work, not old artifacts - -This prevents old Level 3 PRDs from forcing Level 3 workflow for new Level 0 bug fix. - -### Q: What if my existing code doesn't follow best practices? - -**A:** Quick Spec 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. - ---- - -## Tools & Technical - -### Q: Why are my Mermaid diagrams not rendering? - -**A:** Common issues: - -1. Missing language tag: Use ` ```mermaid` not just ` ``` ` -2. Syntax errors in diagram (validate at mermaid.live) -3. Tool doesn't support Mermaid (check your Markdown renderer) - -All BMM docs use valid Mermaid syntax that should render in GitHub, VS Code, and most IDEs. - -### Q: Can I use BMM with GitHub Copilot / Cursor / other AI tools? - -**A:** Yes! BMM is complementary. BMM handles: - -- Project planning and structure -- Workflow orchestration -- Agent Personas and expertise -- Documentation generation -- Quality gates - -Your AI coding assistant handles: - -- Line-by-line code completion -- Quick refactoring -- Test generation - -Use them together for best results. - -### Q: What IDEs/tools support BMM? - -**A:** BMM requires tools with **agent mode** and access to **high-quality LLM models** that can load and follow complex workflows, then properly implement code changes. - -**Recommended Tools:** - -- **Claude Code** ⭐ **Best choice** - - Sonnet 4.5 (excellent workflow following, coding, reasoning) - - Opus (maximum context, complex planning) - - Native agent mode designed for BMM workflows - -- **Cursor** - - Supports Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI models - - Agent mode with composer - - Good for developers who prefer Cursor's UX - -- **Windsurf** - - Multi-model support - - Agent capabilities - - Suitable for BMM workflows - -**What Matters:** - -1. **Agent mode** - Can load long workflow instructions and maintain context -2. **High-quality LLM** - Models ranked high on SWE-bench (coding benchmarks) -3. **Model selection** - Access to Claude Sonnet 4.5, Opus, or GPT-4o class models -4. **Context capacity** - Can handle large planning documents and codebases - -**Why model quality matters:** BMM workflows require LLMs that can follow multi-step processes, maintain context across phases, and implement code that adheres to specifications. Tools with weaker models will struggle with workflow adherence and code quality. - -See [IDE Setup Guides](../../../docs/ide-info/) for configuration specifics. - -### Q: Can I customize agents? - -**A:** Yes! Agents are installed as markdown files with XML-style content (optimized for LLMs, readable by any model). Create customization files in `bmad/_cfg/agents/[agent-name].customize.yaml` to override default behaviors while keeping core functionality intact. See agent documentation for customization options. - -**Note:** While source agents in this repo are YAML, they install as `.md` files with XML-style tags - a format any LLM can read and follow. - -### Q: What happens to my planning docs after implementation? - -**A:** Keep them! They serve as: - -- Historical record of decisions -- Onboarding material for new team members -- Reference for future enhancements -- Audit trail for compliance - -For enterprise projects (Level 4), consider archiving completed planning artifacts to keep workspace clean. - -### Q: Can I use BMM for non-software projects? - -**A:** BMM is optimized for software development, but the methodology principles (scale-adaptive planning, just-in-time design, context injection) can apply to other complex project types. You'd need to adapt workflows and agents for your domain. - ---- - -## Advanced Questions - -### Q: What if my project grows from Level 1 to Level 3? - -**A:** Totally fine! When you realize scope has grown: - -1. Run create-prd to add product-level planning -2. Run create-architecture for system design -3. Use existing tech-spec as input for PRD -4. Continue with updated level - -The system is flexible - growth is expected. - -### Q: Can I mix greenfield and brownfield approaches? - -**A:** Yes! Common scenario: adding new greenfield feature to brownfield codebase. Approach: - -1. Run document-project for brownfield context -2. Use greenfield workflows for new feature planning -3. Explicitly document integration points between new and existing -4. Test integration thoroughly - -### Q: How do I handle urgent hotfixes during a sprint? - -**A:** Use correct-course workflow or just: - -1. Save your current work state -2. Load PM agent → quick tech-spec for hotfix -3. Implement hotfix (Level 0 flow) -4. Deploy hotfix -5. Return to original sprint work - -Level 0 Quick Spec Flow is perfect for urgent fixes. - -### Q: What if I disagree with the workflow's recommendations? - -**A:** Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. If a workflow recommends something that doesn't make sense for your context: - -- Explain your reasoning to the agent -- Ask for alternative approaches -- Skip the recommendation if you're confident -- Document why you deviated (for future reference) - -Trust your expertise - BMM supports your decisions. - -### Q: Can multiple developers work on the same BMM project? - -**A:** Yes! But the paradigm is fundamentally different from traditional agile teams. - -**Key Difference:** - -- **Traditional:** Multiple devs work on stories within one epic (months) -- **Agentic:** Each dev owns complete epics (days) - -**In traditional agile:** A team of 5 devs might spend 2-3 months on a single epic, with each dev owning different stories. - -**With BMM + AI agents:** A single dev can complete an entire epic in 1-3 days. What used to take months now takes days. - -**Team Work Distribution:** - -- **Recommended:** Split work by **epic** (not story) -- Each developer owns complete epics end-to-end -- Parallel work happens at epic level -- Minimal coordination needed - -**For full-stack apps:** - -- Frontend and backend can be separate epics (unusual in traditional agile) -- Frontend dev owns all frontend epics -- Backend dev owns all backend epics -- Works because delivery is so fast - -**Enterprise Considerations:** - -- Use **git submodules** for BMM installation (not .gitignore) -- Allows personal configurations without polluting main repo -- Teams may use different AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) -- Developers may follow different methods or create custom agents/workflows - -**Quick Tips:** - -- Share `sprint-status.yaml` (single source of truth) -- Assign entire epics to developers (not individual stories) -- Coordinate at epic boundaries, not story level -- Use git submodules for BMM in enterprise settings - -**For comprehensive coverage of enterprise team collaboration, work distribution strategies, git submodule setup, and velocity expectations, see:** - -👉 **[Enterprise Agentic Development Guide](./enterprise-agentic-development.md)** - -### Q: What is party mode and when should I use it? - -**A:** Party mode is a unique multi-agent collaboration feature where ALL your installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss your challenges together in real-time. - -**How it works:** - -1. Run `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent) -2. Introduce your topic -3. BMad Master selects 2-3 most relevant agents per message -4. Agents cross-talk, debate, and build on each other's ideas - -**Best for:** - -- Strategic decisions with trade-offs (architecture choices, tech stack, scope) -- Creative brainstorming (game design, product innovation, UX ideation) -- Cross-functional alignment (epic kickoffs, retrospectives, phase transitions) -- Complex problem-solving (multi-faceted challenges, risk assessment) - -**Example parties:** - -- **Product Strategy:** PM + Innovation Strategist (CIS) + Analyst -- **Technical Design:** Architect + Creative Problem Solver (CIS) + Game Architect -- **User Experience:** UX Designer + Design Thinking Coach (CIS) + Storyteller (CIS) - -**Why it's powerful:** - -- Diverse perspectives (technical, creative, strategic) -- Healthy debate reveals blind spots -- Emergent insights from agent interaction -- Natural collaboration across modules - -**For complete documentation:** - -👉 **[Party Mode Guide](./party-mode.md)** - How it works, when to use it, example compositions, best practices - ---- - -## Getting Help - -### Q: Where do I get help if my question isn't answered here? - -**A:** - -1.

Agents have defined capabilities, communication styles, and workflow access. - -### Workflow - -A multi-step guided process that orchestrates AI agent activities to produce specific deliverables. Workflows are interactive and adapt to user context. - ---- - -## Scale & Complexity - -### Quick Flow Track - -Fast implementation track using tech-spec planning only. Best for bug fixes, small features, and changes with clear scope. Typical range: 1-15 stories. No architecture phase needed. Examples: bug fixes, OAuth login, search features. - -### BMad Method Track - -Full product planning track using PRD + Architecture + UX. Best for products, platforms, and complex features requiring system design. Typical range: 10-50+ stories. Examples: admin dashboards, e-commerce platforms, SaaS products. - -### Enterprise Method Track - -Extended enterprise planning track adding Security Architecture, DevOps Strategy, and Test Strategy to BMad Method. Best for enterprise requirements, compliance needs, and multi-tenant systems. Typical range: 30+ stories. Examples: multi-tenant platforms, compliance-driven systems, mission-critical applications. - -### Planning Track - -The methodology path (Quick Flow, BMad Method, or Enterprise Method) chosen for a project based on planning needs, complexity, and requirements rather than story count alone. - -**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are determined by what planning the project needs, not story math. - ---- - -## Planning Documents - -### Tech-Spec (Technical Specification) - -**Quick Flow track only.** Comprehensive technical plan created upfront that serves as the primary planning document for small changes or features. Contains problem statement, solution approach, file-level changes, stack detection (brownfield), testing strategy, and developer resources. - -### Epic-Tech-Context (Epic Technical Context) - -**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only.** Detailed technical planning document created during implementation (just-in-time) for each epic. Supplements PRD + Architecture with epic-specific implementation details, code-level design decisions, and integration points. - -**Key Difference:** Tech-spec (Quick Flow) is created upfront and is the only planning doc. Epic-tech-context (BMad Method/Enterprise) is created per epic during implementation and supplements PRD + Architecture. - -### PRD (Product Requirements Document) - -**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks.** Product-level planning document containing vision, goals, feature requirements, epic breakdown, success criteria, and UX considerations. Replaces tech-spec for larger projects that need product planning. - -### Architecture Document - -**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks.** System-wide design document defining structure, components, interactions, data models, integration patterns, security, performance, and deployment. - -**Scale-Adaptive:** Architecture complexity scales with track - BMad Method is lightweight to moderate, Enterprise Method is comprehensive with security/devops/test strategies. - -### Epics - -High-level feature groupings that contain multiple related stories. Typically span 5-15 stories each and represent cohesive functionality (e.g., "User Authentication Epic"). - -### Product Brief - -Optional strategic planning document created in Phase 1 (Analysis) that captures product vision, market context, user needs, and high-level requirements before detailed planning. - -### GDD (Game Design Document) - -Game development equivalent of PRD, created by Game Designer agent for game projects. - ---- - -## Workflow & Phases - -### Phase 0: Documentation (Prerequisite) - -**Conditional phase for brownfield projects.** Creates comprehensive codebase documentation before planning. Only required if existing documentation is insufficient for AI agents. - -### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional) - -Discovery and research phase including brainstorming, research workflows, and product brief creation. Optional for Quick Flow, recommended for BMad Method, required for Enterprise Method. - -### Phase 2: Planning (Required) - -**Always required.** Creates formal requirements and work breakdown. Routes to tech-spec (Quick Flow) or PRD (BMad Method/Enterprise) based on selected track. - -### Phase 3: Solutioning (Track-Dependent) - -Architecture design phase. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks. Includes architecture creation, validation, and gate checks. - -### Phase 4: Implementation (Required) - -Sprint-based development through story-by-story iteration. Uses sprint-planning, epic-tech-context, create-story, story-context, dev-story, code-review, and retrospective workflows. - -### Quick Spec Flow - -Fast-track workflow system for Quick Flow track projects that goes straight from idea to tech-spec to implementation, bypassing heavy planning. Designed for bug fixes, small features, and rapid prototyping. - -### Just-In-Time Design - -Pattern where epic-tech-context is created during implementation (Phase 4) right before working on each epic, rather than all upfront. Enables learning and adaptation. - -### Context Injection - -Dynamic technical guidance generated for each story via epic-tech-context and story-context workflows, providing exact expertise when needed without upfront over-planning. - ---- - -## Agents & Roles - -### PM (Product Manager) - -Agent responsible for creating PRDs, tech-specs, and managing product requirements. Primary agent for Phase 2 planning. - -### Analyst (Business Analyst) - -Agent that initializes workflows, conducts research, creates product briefs, and tracks progress. Often the entry point for new projects. - -### Architect - -Agent that designs system architecture, creates architecture documents, performs technical reviews, and validates designs. Primary agent for Phase 3 solutioning. - -### SM (Scrum Master) - -Agent that manages sprints, creates stories, generates contexts, and coordinates implementation. Primary orchestrator for Phase 4 implementation. - -### DEV (Developer) - -Agent that implements stories, writes code, runs tests, and performs code reviews. Primary implementer in Phase 4. - -### TEA (Test Architect) - -Agent responsible for test strategy, quality gates, NFR assessment, and comprehensive quality assurance. Integrates throughout all phases. - -### Technical Writer - -Agent specialized in creating and maintaining high-quality technical documentation. Expert in documentation standards, information architecture, and professional technical writing. The agent's internal name is "paige" but is presented as "Technical Writer" to users. - -### UX Designer - -Agent that creates UX design documents, interaction patterns, and visual specifications for UI-heavy projects. - -### Game Designer - -Specialized agent for game development projects. Creates game design documents (GDD) and game-specific workflows. - -### BMad Master - -Meta-level orchestrator agent from BMad Core. Facilitates party mode, lists available tasks and workflows, and provides high-level guidance across all modules. - -### Party Mode - -Multi-agent collaboration feature where all installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss challenges together in real-time. BMad Master orchestrates, selecting 2-3 relevant agents per message for natural cross-talk and debate. Best for strategic decisions, creative brainstorming, cross-functional alignment, and complex problem-solving. See [Party Mode Guide](./party-mode.md). - ---- - -## Status & Tracking - -### bmm-workflow-status.yaml - -**Phases 1-3.** Tracking file that shows current phase, completed workflows, progress, and next recommended actions. Created by workflow-init, updated automatically. - -### sprint-status.yaml - -**Phase 4 only.** Single source of truth for implementation tracking. Contains all epics, stories, and retrospectives with current status for each. Created by sprint-planning, updated by agents. - -### Story Status Progression - -``` -backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done -``` - -- **backlog** - Story exists in epic but not yet drafted -- **drafted** - Story file created by SM via create-story -- **ready-for-dev** - Story has context, ready for DEV via story-context -- **in-progress** - DEV is implementing via dev-story -- **review** - Implementation complete, awaiting code-review -- **done** - Completed with DoD met - -### Epic Status Progression - -``` -backlog → contexted -``` - -- **backlog** - Epic exists in planning docs but no context yet -- **contexted** - Epic has technical context via epic-tech-context - -### Retrospective - -Workflow run after completing each epic to capture learnings, identify improvements, and feed insights into next epic planning. Critical for continuous improvement. - ---- - -## Project Types - -### Greenfield - -New project starting from scratch with no existing codebase. Freedom to establish patterns, choose stack, and design from clean slate. - -### Brownfield - -Existing project with established codebase, patterns, and constraints. Requires understanding existing architecture, respecting established conventions, and planning integration with current systems. - -**Critical:** Brownfield projects should run document-project workflow BEFORE planning to ensure AI agents have adequate context about existing code. - -### document-project Workflow - -**Brownfield prerequisite.** Analyzes and documents existing codebase, creating comprehensive documentation including project overview, architecture analysis, source tree, API contracts, and data models. Three scan levels: quick, deep, exhaustive. - ---- - -## Implementation Terms - -### Story - -Single unit of implementable work with clear acceptance criteria, typically 2-8 hours of development effort. Stories are grouped into epics and tracked in sprint-status.yaml. - -### Story File - -Markdown file containing story details: description, acceptance criteria, technical notes, dependencies, implementation guidance, and testing requirements. - -### Story Context - -Technical guidance document created via story-context workflow that provides implementation-specific context, references existing patterns, suggests approaches, and injects expertise for the specific story. - -### Epic Context - -Technical planning document created via epic-tech-context workflow before drafting stories within an epic. Provides epic-level technical direction, architecture notes, and implementation strategy. - -### Sprint Planning - -Workflow that initializes Phase 4 implementation by creating sprint-status.yaml, extracting all epics/stories from planning docs, and setting up tracking infrastructure. - -### Gate Check - -Validation workflow (solutioning-gate-check) run before Phase 4 to ensure PRD, architecture, and UX documents are cohesive with no gaps or contradictions. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks. - -### DoD (Definition of Done) - -Criteria that must be met before marking a story as done. Typically includes: implementation complete, tests written and passing, code reviewed, documentation updated, and acceptance criteria validated. - -### Shard / Sharding - -**For runtime LLM optimization only (NOT human docs).** Splitting large planning documents (PRD, epics, architecture) into smaller section-based files to improve workflow efficiency. Phase 1-3 workflows load entire sharded documents transparently. Phase 4 workflows selectively load only needed sections for massive token savings. - ---- - -## Additional Terms - -### Workflow Status - -Universal entry point workflow that checks for existing status file, displays current phase/progress, and recommends next action based on project state. - -### Workflow Init - -Initialization workflow that creates bmm-workflow-status.yaml, detects greenfield vs brownfield, determines planning track, and sets up appropriate workflow path. - -### Track Selection - -Automatic analysis by workflow-init that uses keyword analysis, complexity indicators, and project requirements to suggest appropriate track (Quick Flow, BMad Method, or Enterprise Method). User can override suggested track. - -### Correct Course - -Workflow run during Phase 4 when significant changes or issues arise. Analyzes impact, proposes solutions, and routes to appropriate remediation workflows. - -### Migration Strategy - -Plan for handling changes to existing data, schemas, APIs, or patterns during brownfield development. Critical for ensuring backward compatibility and smooth rollout. - -### Feature Flags - -Implementation technique for brownfield projects that allows gradual rollout of new functionality, easy rollback, and A/B testing. Recommended for BMad Method and Enterprise brownfield changes. - -### Integration Points - -Specific locations where new code connects with existing systems. Must be documented explicitly in brownfield tech-specs and architectures. - -### Convention Detection - -Quick Spec Flow feature that automatically detects existing code style, naming conventions, patterns, and frameworks from brownfield codebases, then asks user to confirm before proceeding. - ---- - -## Related Documentation - -- [Quick Start Guide](./quick-start.md) - Learn BMM basics -- [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md) - Deep dive on tracks and complexity -- [Brownfield Guide](./brownfield-guide.md) - Working with existing codebases -- [Quick Spec Flow](./quick-spec-flow.md) - Fast-track for Quick Flow track -- [FAQ](./faq.md) - Common questions -- [Troubleshooting](./troubleshooting.md) - Problem resolution diff --git a/bmad/bmm/docs/party-mode.md b/bmad/bmm/docs/party-mode.md deleted file mode 100644 index 588851d8..00000000 --- a/bmad/bmm/docs/party-mode.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,224 +0,0 @@ -# Party Mode: Multi-Agent Collaboration - -**Get all your AI agents in one conversation** - ---- - -## What is Party Mode? - -Ever wanted to gather your entire AI team in one room and see what happens?

It's perfect for brownfield projects. It will analyze your existing code, detect patterns, and ask if you want to follow them. - -### Q: What if I don't have a package.json or requirements.txt? - -**A:** Quick Spec Flow will work in greenfield mode, recommend starter templates, and use WebSearch for modern best practices. - -### Q: Do I need to run workflow-init first? - -**A:** No! Quick Spec Flow is standalone. But if you want guidance on which flow to use, workflow-init can help. - -### Q: Can I use this for frontend changes? - -**A:** Absolutely! Quick Spec Flow captures UX/UI considerations, component changes, and accessibility requirements. - -### Q: What if my Quick Flow project grows? - -**A:** No problem! You can always transition to BMad Method by running workflow-init and create-prd. Your tech-spec becomes input for the PRD. - -### Q: Do I need story-context for every story? - -**A:** Usually no! Tech-spec is comprehensive enough for most Quick Flow projects. Only use story-context for complex edge cases. - -### Q: Can I skip validation? - -**A:** No, validation always runs automatically. But it's fast and catches issues early! - -### Q: Will it work with my team's code style? - -**A:** Yes! It detects your conventions and asks for confirmation. You control whether to follow existing patterns or establish new ones. - ---- - -## Tips & Best Practices - -### 1. **Be Specific in Discovery** - -When describing your change, provide specifics: - -- ✅ "Fix email validation in UserService to allow plus-addressing" -- ❌ "Fix validation bug" - -### 2. **Trust the Convention Detection** - -If it detects your patterns correctly, say yes! It's faster than establishing new conventions. - -### 3. **Use WebSearch Recommendations for Greenfield** - -Starter templates save hours of setup time. Let Quick Spec Flow find the best ones. - -### 4. **Review the Auto-Validation** - -When validation runs, read the scores. They tell you if your spec is production-ready. - -### 5. **Story Context is Optional** - -For single changes, try going directly to dev-story first. Only add story-context if you hit complexity. - -### 6. **Keep Single Changes Truly Atomic** - -If your "single change" needs 3+ files, it might be a multi-story feature. Let the workflow guide you. - -### 7. **Validate Story Sequence for Multi-Story Features** - -When you get multiple stories, check the dependency validation output. Proper sequence matters! - ---- - -## Real-World Examples - -### Example 1: Adding Logging (Single Change) - -**Input:** "Add structured logging to payment processing" - -**Tech-Spec Output:** - -- Detected: winston 3.8.2 already in package.json -- Analyzed: Existing services use winston with JSON format -- Confirmed: Follow existing logging patterns -- Generated: Specific file paths, log levels, format example -- Story: Ready to implement in 1-2 hours - -**Result:** Consistent logging added, following team patterns, no research needed. - ---- - -### Example 2: Search Feature (Multi-Story) - -**Input:** "Add search to product catalog with filters" - -**Tech-Spec Output:** - -- Detected: React 18.2.0, MUI component library, Express backend -- Analyzed: Existing ProductList component patterns -- Confirmed: Follow existing API and component structure -- Generated: - - Epic: Product Search Functionality - - Story 1: Backend search API with filters - - Story 2: Frontend search UI component -- Auto-validated: Story 1 → Story 2 sequence correct - -**Result:** Search feature implemented in 4-6 hours with proper architecture. - ---- - -## Summary - -Quick Spec Flow is your **fast path from idea to implementation** for: - -- 🐛 Bug fixes -- ✨ Small features -- 🚀 Rapid prototyping -- 🔧 Quick enhancements - -**Key Features:** - -- Auto-detects your stack -- Auto-analyzes brownfield code -- Auto-validates quality -- Respects existing conventions -- Uses WebSearch for modern practices -- Generates comprehensive tech-specs -- Creates implementation-ready stories - -**Time to code:** Minutes, not hours. - -**Ready to try it?** Load the PM agent and say what you want to build! 🚀 - ---- - -## Next Steps - -- **Try it now:** Load PM agent and describe a small change -- **Learn more:** See `src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md` for full BMM workflow guide -- **Need help deciding?** Run `workflow-init` to get a recommendation -- **Have questions?** Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj - ---- - -_Quick Spec Flow - Because not every change needs a Product Brief._ diff --git a/bmad/bmm/docs/quick-start.md b/bmad/bmm/docs/quick-start.md deleted file mode 100644 index 8e943402..00000000 --- a/bmad/bmm/docs/quick-start.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,366 +0,0 @@ -# BMad Method V6 Quick Start Guide - -Get started with BMad Method v6 for your new greenfield project.

The process follows four phases: - -1. **Phase 1: Analysis** (Optional) - Brainstorming, Research, Product Brief -2. **Phase 2: Planning** (Required) - Create your requirements (tech-spec or PRD) -3. **Phase 3: Solutioning** (Track-dependent) - Design the architecture for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks -4. **Phase 4: Implementation** (Required) - Build your software Epic by Epic, Story by Story - -## Installation - -```bash -# Install v6 Alpha to your project -npx bmad-method@alpha install -``` - -The interactive installer will guide you through setup and create a `bmad/` folder with all agents and workflows. - ---- - -## Getting Started - -### Step 1: Initialize Your Workflow - -1. **Load the Analyst agent** in your IDE - See your IDE-specific instructions in [docs/ide-info](../docs/ide-info/) for how to activate agents: - - [Claude Code](../docs/ide-info/claude-code.md) - - [VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf](../docs/ide-info/) - Check your IDE folder - - Other IDEs also supported -2. **Wait for the agent's menu** to appear -3. **Tell the agent**: "Run workflow-init" or type "\*workflow-init" or select the menu item number - -#### What happens during workflow-init? - -Workflows are interactive processes in V6 that replaced tasks and templates from prior versions. There are many types of workflows, and you can even create your own with the BMad Builder module. For the BMad Method, you'll be interacting with expert-designed workflows crafted to work with you to get the best out of both you and the LLM. - -During workflow-init, you'll describe: - -- Your project and its goals -- Whether there's an existing codebase or this is a new project -- The general size and complexity (you can adjust this later) - -#### Planning Tracks - -Based on your description, the workflow will suggest a track and let you choose from: - -**Three Planning Tracks:** - -- **Quick Flow** - Fast implementation (tech-spec only) - bug fixes, simple features, clear scope (typically 1-15 stories) -- **BMad Method** - Full planning (PRD + Architecture + UX) - products, platforms, complex features (typically 10-50+ stories) -- **Enterprise Method** - Extended planning (BMad Method + Security/DevOps/Test) - enterprise requirements, compliance, multi-tenant (typically 30+ stories) - -**Note**: Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs, not story math. - -#### What gets created? - -Once you confirm your track, the `bmm-workflow-status.yaml` file will be created in your project's docs folder (assuming default install location). This file tracks your progress through all phases. - -**Important notes:** - -- Every track has different paths through the phases -- Story counts can still change based on overall complexity as you work -- For this guide, we'll assume a BMad Method track project -- This workflow will guide you through Phase 1 (optional), Phase 2 (required), and Phase 3 (required for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks) - -### Step 2: Work Through Phases 1-3 - -After workflow-init completes, you'll work through the planning phases. **Important: Use fresh chats for each workflow to avoid context limitations.** - -#### Checking Your Status - -If you're unsure what to do next: - -1. Load any agent in a new chat -2. Ask for "workflow-status" -3. The agent will tell you the next recommended or required workflow - -**Example response:** - -``` -Phase 1 (Analysis) is entirely optional. All workflows are optional or recommended: - - brainstorm-project - optional - - research - optional - - product-brief - RECOMMENDED (but not required) - -The next TRULY REQUIRED step is: - - PRD (Product Requirements Document) in Phase 2 - Planning - - Agent: pm - - Command: prd -``` - -#### How to Run Workflows in Phases 1-3 - -When an agent tells you to run a workflow (like `prd`): - -1. **Start a new chat** with the specified agent (e.g., PM) - See [docs/ide-info](../docs/ide-info/) for your IDE's specific instructions -2. **Wait for the menu** to appear -3. **Tell the agent** to run it using any of these formats: - - Type the shorthand: `*prd` - - Say it naturally: "Let's create a new PRD" - - Select the menu number for "create-prd" - -The agents in V6 are very good with fuzzy menu matching! - -#### Quick Reference: Agent → Document Mapping - -For v4 users or those who prefer to skip workflow-status guidance: - -- **Analyst** → Brainstorming, Product Brief -- **PM** → PRD (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks) OR tech-spec (Quick Flow track) -- **UX-Designer** → UX Design Document (if UI-heavy) -- **Architect** → Architecture (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks) - -#### Phase 2: Planning - Creating the PRD - -**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:** - -1. Load the **PM agent** in a new chat -2. Tell it to run the PRD workflow -3. Once complete, you'll have: - - **PRD.md** - Your Product Requirements Document - - Epic breakdown - -**For Quick Flow track:** - -- Use **tech-spec** instead of PRD (no architecture needed) - -#### Phase 2 (Optional): UX Design - -If your project has a user interface: - -1. Load the **UX-Designer agent** in a new chat -2. Tell it to run the UX design workflow -3. After completion, run validations to ensure the Epics file stays updated - -#### Phase 3: Architecture - -**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:** - -1. Load the **Architect agent** in a new chat -2. Tell it to run the create-architecture workflow -3. After completion, run validations to ensure the Epics file stays updated - -#### Phase 3: Solutioning Gate Check (Highly Recommended) - -Once architecture is complete: - -1. Load the **Architect agent** in a new chat -2. Tell it to run "solutioning-gate-check" -3. This validates cohesion across all your planning documents (PRD, UX, Architecture, Epics) -4. This was called the "PO Master Checklist" in v4 - -**Why run this?** It ensures all your planning assets align properly before you start building. - -#### Context Management Tips - -- **Use 200k+ context models** for best results (Claude Sonnet 4.5, GPT-4, etc.) -- **Fresh chat for each workflow** - Brainstorming, Briefs, Research, and PRD generation are all context-intensive -- **No document sharding needed** - Unlike v4, you don't need to split documents -- **Web Bundles coming soon** - Will help save LLM tokens for users with limited plans - -### Step 3: Start Building (Phase 4 - Implementation) - -Once planning and architecture are complete, you'll move to Phase 4. **Important: Each workflow below should be run in a fresh chat to avoid context limitations and hallucinations.** - -#### 3.1 Initialize Sprint Planning - -1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM (Scrum Master) agent** -2. Wait for the menu to appear -3. Tell the agent: "Run sprint-planning" -4. This creates your `sprint-status.yaml` file that tracks all epics and stories - -#### 3.2 Create Epic Context (Optional but Recommended) - -1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent** -2. Wait for the menu -3. Tell the agent: "Run epic-tech-context" -4. This creates technical context for the current epic before drafting stories - -#### 3.3 Draft Your First Story - -1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent** -2. Wait for the menu -3. Tell the agent: "Run create-story" -4. This drafts the story file from the epic - -#### 3.4 Add Story Context (Optional but Recommended) - -1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent** -2. Wait for the menu -3. Tell the agent: "Run story-context" -4. This creates implementation-specific technical context for the story - -#### 3.5 Implement the Story - -1. **Start a new chat** with the **DEV agent** -2. Wait for the menu -3. Tell the agent: "Run dev-story" -4. The DEV agent will implement the story and update the sprint status - -#### 3.6 Review the Code (Optional but Recommended) - -1. **Start a new chat** with the **DEV agent** -2. Wait for the menu -3. Tell the agent: "Run code-review" -4. The DEV agent performs quality validation (this was called QA in v4) - -### Step 4: Keep Going - -For each subsequent story, repeat the cycle using **fresh chats** for each workflow: - -1. **New chat** → SM agent → "Run create-story" -2. **New chat** → SM agent → "Run story-context" -3. **New chat** → DEV agent → "Run dev-story" -4. **New chat** → DEV agent → "Run code-review" (optional but recommended) - -After completing all stories in an epic: - -1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent** -2. Tell the agent: "Run retrospective" - -**Why fresh chats?** Context-intensive workflows can cause hallucinations if you keep issuing commands in the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow. - ---- - -## Understanding the Agents - -Each agent is a specialized AI persona: - -- **Analyst** - Initializes workflows and tracks progress -- **PM** - Creates requirements and specifications -- **UX-Designer** - If your project has a front end - this designer will help produce artifacts, come up with mock updates, and design a great look and feel with you giving it guidance. -- **Architect** - Designs system architecture -- **SM (Scrum Master)** - Manages sprints and creates stories -- **DEV** - Implements code and reviews work - -## How Workflows Work - -1. **Load an agent** - Open the agent file in your IDE to activate it -2. **Wait for the menu** - The agent will present its available workflows -3. **Tell the agent what to run** - Say "Run [workflow-name]" -4. **Follow the prompts** - The agent guides you through each step - -The agent creates documents, asks questions, and helps you make decisions throughout the process. - -## Project Tracking Files - -BMad creates two files to track your progress: - -**1. bmm-workflow-status.yaml** - -- Shows which phase you're in and what's next -- Created by workflow-init -- Updated automatically as you progress through phases - -**2. sprint-status.yaml** (Phase 4 only) - -- Tracks all your epics and stories during implementation -- Critical for SM and DEV agents to know what to work on next -- Created by sprint-planning workflow -- Updated automatically as stories progress - -**You don't need to edit these manually** - agents update them as you work. - ---- - -## The Complete Flow Visualized - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - subgraph P1["Phase 1 (Optional)

Document-Project First for Brownfield - -Always run `document-project` before starting brownfield planning. AI agents need existing codebase context. - -### 2. Trust the Recommendation - -If `workflow-init` suggests BMad Method, there's probably complexity you haven't considered. Review carefully before overriding. - -### 3. Start Smaller if Uncertain - -Uncertain between Quick Flow and Method? Start with Quick Flow. You can create PRD later if needed. - -### 4. Don't Skip Gate Checks - -For BMad Method and Enterprise, gate checks prevent costly mistakes. Invest the time. - -### 5. Architecture is Optional but Recommended for Brownfield - -Brownfield BMad Method makes architecture optional, but it's highly recommended. It distills complex codebase into focused solution design. - -### 6. Discovery Phase Based on Need - -Brainstorming and research are offered regardless of track. Use them when you need to think through the problem space. - -### 7. Product Brief for Greenfield Method - -Product Brief is only offered for greenfield BMad Method and Enterprise. It's optional but helps with strategic thinking. - ---- - -## Key Differences from Legacy System - -### Old System (Levels 0-4) - -- Arbitrary story count thresholds -- Level 2 vs Level 3 based on story count -- Confusing overlap zones (5-10 stories, 12-40 stories) -- Tech-spec and PRD shown as conflicting options - -### New System (3 Tracks) - -- Methodology-based distinction (not story counts) -- Story counts as guidance, not definitions -- Clear track purposes: - - Quick Flow = Implementation-focused - - BMad Method = Product + system design - - Enterprise = Extended with security/ops -- Mutually exclusive paths chosen upfront -- Educational decision-making - ---- - -## Migration from Old System - -If you have existing projects using the old level system: - -- **Level 0-1** → Quick Flow -- **Level 2-3** → BMad Method -- **Level 4** → Enterprise Method - -Run `workflow-init` on existing projects to migrate to new tracking system.

- -## Prerequisites and Setup - -1. Run the core planning workflows first: - - Analyst `*product-brief` - - Product Manager `*prd` - - Architect `*create-architecture` -2. Confirm `bmad/bmm/config.yaml` defines `project_name`, `output_folder`, `dev_story_location`, and language settings. -3. Ensure a test test framework setup exists; if not, use `*framework` command to create a test framework setup, prior to development. -4.

-Execution Notes - -- Run `*framework` only once per repo or when modern harness support is missing. -- `*framework` followed by `*ci` establishes install + pipeline; `*test-design` then handles risk scoring, mitigations, and scenario planning in one pass. -- Use `*atdd` before coding when the team can adopt ATDD; share its checklist with the dev agent. -- Post-implementation, keep `*trace` current, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`. For release gate, run `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled to get deployment decision. -- Use `*test-review` after `*atdd` to validate generated tests, after `*automate` to ensure regression quality, or before gate for final audit. - -
- -
-Worked Example – “Nova CRM” Greenfield Feature - -1. **Planning:** Analyst runs `*product-brief`; PM executes `*prd` to produce PRD and epics; Architect completes `*create-architecture` for the new module. -2. **Setup:** TEA checks harness via `*framework`, configures `*ci`, and runs `*test-design` to capture risk/coverage plans. -3. **Story Prep:** Scrum Master generates the story via `*create-story`; PO validates using `*solutioning-gate-check`. -4. **Implementation:** TEA optionally runs `*atdd`; Dev implements with guidance from failing tests and the plan. -5. **Post-Dev and Release:** TEA runs `*automate`, optionally `*test-review` to audit test quality, re-runs `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled to generate both traceability and gate decision. - -

-Execution Notes - -- Lead with `*trace` so remediation plans target true coverage gaps. Ensure `*framework` and `*ci` are in place early in the engagement; if the brownfield lacks them, run those setup steps immediately after refreshing context. -- `*test-design` should highlight regression hotspots, mitigations, and P0 scenarios. -- Use `*atdd` when stories benefit from ATDD; otherwise proceed to implementation and rely on post-dev automation. -- After development, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`, re-run `*trace` (Phase 2 for gate decision). Run `*nfr-assess` now if non-functional risks weren't addressed earlier. -- Use `*test-review` to validate existing brownfield tests or audit new tests before gate. -- Product Owner `*solutioning-gate-check` confirms the team has artifacts before handoff or release. - -

-Worked Example – “Atlas Payments” Brownfield Story - -1. **Context Refresh:** Analyst reruns `*product-brief`; PM executes `*prd` to update PRD, analysis, and `epics.md`; Architect triggers `*create-architecture` capturing legacy payment flows. -2. **Baseline Coverage:** TEA executes `*trace` to record current coverage in `docs/qa/assessments/atlas-payment-trace.md`. -3. **Risk and Design:** `*test-design` flags settlement edge cases, plans mitigations, and allocates new API/E2E scenarios with P0 priorities. -4. **Story Prep:** Scrum Master generates `stories/story-1.1.md` via `*create-story`, automatically pulling updated context. -5. **ATDD First:** TEA runs `*atdd`, producing failing Playwright specs under `tests/e2e/payments/` plus an implementation checklist. -6. **Implementation:** Dev pairs with the checklist/tests to deliver the story. -7. **Post-Implementation:** TEA applies `*automate`, optionally `*test-review` to audit test quality, re-runs `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled, performs `*nfr-assess` to validate SLAs. The `*trace` Phase 2 output marks PASS with follow-ups. - -

To handle: - -1. **Continue until DoD met** - Don't compromise quality -2. **Document learnings in retrospective**: - - What caused the overrun? - - What should we watch for next time? -3. **Consider splitting story** if it's truly two stories -4. **Adjust future estimates** based on this data - -**Don't stress about estimate accuracy** - use them for learning, not judgment. - -### Problem: Integration points unclear - -**Symptoms:** - -- Not sure how to connect new code to existing -- Unsure which files to modify -- Multiple possible integration approaches - -**Solution:** - -1. **For brownfield**: - - Ensure document-project captured existing architecture - - Review architecture docs before implementing -2. **Check story-context** - Should document integration points -3. **In tech-spec/architecture** - Explicitly document: - - Which existing modules to modify - - What APIs/services to integrate with - - Data flow between new and existing code -4. **Run integration-planning workflow** (Level 3-4): - - Architect agent creates integration strategy - -### Problem: Inconsistent patterns being introduced - -**Symptoms:** - -- New code style doesn't match existing -- Different architectural approach -- Not following team conventions - -**Solution:** - -1. **Check convention detection** (Quick Spec Flow): - - Should detect existing patterns - - Asks for confirmation before proceeding -2. **Review documentation** - Ensure document-project captured patterns -3. **Use story-context** - Injects pattern guidance per story -4. **Add to code-review checklist**: - - Pattern adherence - - Convention consistency - - Style matching -5. **Run retrospective** to identify pattern deviations early - ---- - -## File & Path Issues - -### Problem: Output files in wrong location - -**Symptoms:** - -- PRD created in wrong folder -- Story files not where expected -- Documentation scattered - -**Solution:** -Check `bmad/bmm/config.yaml` for configured paths: - -```yaml -output_folder: '{project-root}/docs' -dev_story_location: '{project-root}/docs/stories' -``` - -Default locations: - -- Planning docs (PRD, epics, architecture): `{output_folder}/` -- Stories: `{dev_story_location}/` -- Status files: `{output_folder}/bmm-workflow-status.md`, `{output_folder}/sprint-status.yaml` - -To change locations, edit config.yaml then re-run workflows. - -### Problem: Can't find status file - -**Symptoms:** - -- workflow-status says no status file -- Can't track progress -- Lost place in workflow - -**Solution:** - -1. **Check default location**: `docs/bmm-workflow-status.md` -2. **If missing, reinitialize**: - ``` - Load Analyst agent → run workflow-init - ``` -3. **For Phase 4**: Look for `sprint-status.yaml` in same folder as PRD -4. **Search for it**: - ```bash - find . -name "bmm-workflow-status.md" - find . -name "sprint-status.yaml" - ``` - -### Problem: Sprint-status.yaml not updating - -**Symptoms:** - -- Workflows complete but status unchanged -- Stories stuck in old status -- Epic status not progressing - -**Solution:** - -1. **Manual update required** - Most status changes are manual: - ```yaml - stories: - - id: epic-1-story-1 - status: done # Change this manually - ``` -2. **Some workflows auto-update**: - - sprint-planning creates file - - epic-tech-context changes epic to "contexted" - - create-story changes story to "drafted" - - story-context changes to "ready-for-dev" - - dev-story may auto-update (check workflow) -3. **Re-run sprint-planning** to resync if needed - ---- - -## Agent Behavior Issues - -### Problem: Agent provides vague or generic responses - -**Symptoms:** - -- "Use appropriate framework" -- "Follow best practices" -- Generic advice without specifics - -**Solution:** - -1. **Provide more context** - Be specific in your description: - - "Add OAuth using passport.js to Express server" - - Not: "Add authentication" -2. **For brownfield**: - - Ensure document-project was run - - Agent needs codebase context for specific advice -3. **Reference existing docs**: - - "Based on the existing auth system in UserService..." -4. **Start fresh chat** - Context overload can cause generic responses - -### Problem: Agent hallucinating or making up information - -**Symptoms:** - -- References files that don't exist -- Suggests APIs that aren't in your stack -- Creates imaginary requirements - -**Solution:** - -1. **Use fresh chat** - Context overflow main cause of hallucinations -2. **Provide concrete constraints**: - - "We use Express 4.18.2, not Next.js" - - "Our database is PostgreSQL, not MongoDB" -3. **For brownfield**: - - Document-project provides factual grounding - - Agent sees actual code, not assumptions -4. **Correct immediately**: - - "No, we don't have UserService, we have AuthenticationModule" - -### Problem: Agent won't follow instructions - -**Symptoms:** - -- Ignores specific requests -- Does something different than asked -- Doesn't respect constraints - -**Solution:** - -1. **Be more explicit** - Agents respond to clear, specific instructions: - - "Use EXACTLY these three steps..." - - "Do NOT include database migrations in this story" -2. **Check agent capabilities** - Agent might not have access to requested workflow -3. **Try different phrasing** - Rephrase request to be more direct -4. **Use menu system** - Numbers are clearer than text commands - ---- - -## Integration Issues (Brownfield) - -### Problem: New code conflicts with existing architecture - -**Symptoms:** - -- Integration approach doesn't fit existing structure -- Would require major refactoring -- Conflicts with established patterns - -**Solution:** - -1. **Check if document-project was run** - Agents need architecture context -2. **Review existing architecture docs**: - - Read docs/architecture.md (from document-project) - - Understand current system design -3. **For Level 3-4**: - - Run validate-architecture workflow before planning - - Use integration-planning workflow -4. **Explicitly document integration strategy** in architecture: - - How new components fit existing structure - - What modifications needed to existing code - - Migration path if changing patterns - -### Problem: Breaking changes to existing APIs - -**Symptoms:** - -- Changing API breaks consumers -- Downstream services affected -- Need backward compatibility - -**Solution:** - -1. **Identify all API consumers** (document-project should show this) -2. **Plan versioning strategy**: - - API v1 (existing) + v2 (new) - - Deprecation timeline -3. **Use feature flags** for gradual rollout -4. **Document migration guide** for API consumers -5. **Add to testing strategy**: - - Existing consumers still work (v1) - - New functionality works (v2) - -### Problem: Data migration required - -**Symptoms:** - -- Schema changes needed -- Existing data needs transformation -- Risk of data loss - -**Solution:** - -1. **Create explicit migration strategy** in architecture: - - Forward migration (old → new schema) - - Rollback plan (new → old schema) - - Data validation approach -2. **Test migrations thoroughly**: - - On copy of production data - - Measure performance impact -3. **Plan rollout**: - - Staging environment first - - Gradual production rollout - - Monitoring for issues -4. **Document in tech-spec/architecture**: - - Migration scripts - - Rollback procedures - - Expected downtime - ---- -

Technical Reference - -**Module:** BMM (BMAD Method Module) -**Type:** Solutioning Workflow - ---- - -## Overview - -The Decision Architecture workflow is a complete reimagining of how architectural decisions are made in the BMAD Method. Instead of template-driven documentation, this workflow facilitates an intelligent conversation that produces a **decision-focused architecture document** optimized for preventing AI agent conflicts during implementation. - ---- - -## Core Philosophy - -**The Problem**: When multiple AI agents implement different parts of a system, they make conflicting technical decisions leading to incompatible implementations. - -**The Solution**: A "consistency contract" that documents all critical technical decisions upfront, ensuring every agent follows the same patterns and uses the same technologies. - ---- - -## Key Features - -### 1. Starter Template Intelligence ⭐ NEW - -- Discovers relevant starter templates (create-next-app, create-t3-app, etc.) -- Considers UX requirements when selecting templates (animations, accessibility, etc.) -- Searches for current CLI options and defaults -- Documents decisions made BY the starter template -- Makes remaining architectural decisions around the starter foundation -- First implementation story becomes "initialize with starter command" - -### 2. Adaptive Facilitation - -- Adjusts conversation style based on user skill level (beginner/intermediate/expert) -- Experts get rapid, technical discussions -- Beginners receive education and protection from complexity -- Everyone produces the same high-quality output - -### 3. Dynamic Version Verification - -- NEVER trusts hardcoded version numbers -- Uses WebSearch to find current stable versions -- Verifies versions during the conversation -- Documents only verified, current versions - -### 4. Intelligent Discovery - -- No rigid project type templates -- Analyzes PRD to identify which decisions matter for THIS project -- Uses knowledge base of decisions and patterns -- Scales to infinite project types - -### 5. Collaborative Decision Making - -- Facilitates discussion for each critical decision -- Presents options with trade-offs -- Integrates advanced elicitation for innovative approaches -- Ensures decisions are coherent and compatible - -### 6.

Detection - -The workflow analyzes the PRD for concepts that don't have standard solutions: - -- Novel interaction patterns (e.g., "swipe to match" when Tinder doesn't exist) -- Complex multi-epic workflows (e.g., "viral invitation system") -- Unique data relationships (e.g., "social graph" before Facebook) -- New paradigms (e.g., "ephemeral messages" before Snapchat) - -### 2. Design Collaboration - -Instead of just picking technologies, the workflow helps DESIGN the solution: - -- Identifies the core problem to solve -- Explores different approaches with the user -- Documents how components interact -- Creates sequence diagrams for complex flows -- Uses elicitation to find innovative solutions - -### 3. Documentation - -Novel patterns become part of the architecture with: - -- Pattern name and purpose -- Component interactions -- Data flow diagrams -- Which epics/stories are affected -- Implementation guidance for agents - -### 4. Example - -``` -PRD: "Users can create 'circles' of friends with overlapping membership" -↓ -Workflow detects: This is a novel social structure pattern -↓ -Designs with user: Circle membership model, permission cascading, UI patterns -↓ -Documents: "Circle Pattern" with component design and data flow -↓ -All agents understand how to implement circle-related features consistently -``` - ---- - -## How Implementation Patterns Work - -Step 8 prevents agent conflicts by defining patterns for consistency: - -### 1. The Core Principle - -> "Any time multiple agents might make the SAME decision DIFFERENTLY, that's a pattern to capture" - -The LLM asks: "What could an agent encounter where they'd have to guess?" - -### 2. Pattern Categories (principles, not prescriptions) - -- **Naming**: How things are named (APIs, database fields, files) -- **Structure**: How things are organized (folders, modules, layers) -- **Format**: How data is formatted (JSON structures, responses) -- **Communication**: How components talk (events, messages, protocols) -- **Lifecycle**: How states change (workflows, transitions) -- **Location**: Where things go (URLs, paths, storage) -- **Consistency**: Cross-cutting concerns (dates, errors, logs) - -### 3. LLM Intelligence - -- Uses the principle to identify patterns beyond the 7 categories -- Figures out what specific patterns matter for chosen tech -- Only asks about patterns that could cause conflicts -- Skips obvious patterns that the tech choice determines - -### 4. Example - -``` -Tech chosen: REST API + PostgreSQL + React -↓ -LLM identifies needs: -- REST: URL structure, response format, status codes -- PostgreSQL: table naming, column naming, FK patterns -- React: component structure, state management, test location -↓ -Facilitates each with user -↓ -Documents as Implementation Patterns in architecture -``` - ---- - -## How Starter Templates Work - -When the workflow detects a project type that has a starter template: - -1. **Discovery**: Searches for relevant starter templates based on PRD -2. **Investigation**: Looks up current CLI options and defaults -3. **Presentation**: Shows user what the starter provides -4. **Integration**: Documents starter decisions as "PROVIDED BY STARTER" -5. **Continuation**: Only asks about decisions NOT made by starter -6. **Documentation**: Includes exact initialization command in architecture - -### Example Flow - -``` -PRD says: "Next.js web application with authentication" -↓ -Workflow finds: create-next-app and create-t3-app -↓ -User chooses: create-t3-app (includes auth setup) -↓ -Starter provides: Next.js, TypeScript, tRPC, Prisma, NextAuth, Tailwind -↓ -Workflow only asks about: Database choice, deployment target, additional services -↓ -First story becomes: "npx create t3-app@latest my-app --trpc --nextauth --prisma" -``` - ---- - -## Usage - -```bash -# In your BMAD-enabled project -workflow architecture -``` - -The AI agent will: - -1. Load your PRD and epics -2. Identify critical decisions needed -3. Facilitate discussion on each decision -4. Generate a comprehensive architecture document -5. Validate completeness - ---- - -## Design Principles - -1. **Facilitation over Prescription** - Guide users to good decisions rather than imposing templates -2. **Intelligence over Templates** - Use AI understanding rather than rigid structures -3. **Decisions over Details** - Focus on what prevents agent conflicts, not implementation minutiae -4. **Adaptation over Uniformity** - Meet users where they are while ensuring quality output -5. **Collaboration over Output** - The conversation matters as much as the document - ---- - -## For Developers - -This workflow assumes: - -- Single developer + AI agents (not teams) -- Speed matters (decisions in minutes, not days) -- AI agents need clear constraints to prevent conflicts -- The architecture document is for agents, not humans - ---- - -## Migration from architecture - -Projects using the old `architecture` workflow should: - -1.

One Story at a Time - -**Focus on completing stories fully** before starting new ones. Don't parallelize stories unless you have multiple developers. - -### 2. Always Run story-context - -Don't skip context assembly. DEV agent performs better with focused, relevant context. - -### 3. Write Tests First (ATDD) - -For P0/P1 stories, write failing tests first (acceptance test-driven development), then implement to make them pass. - -### 4. Code Review P0/P1 Stories - -Always review critical stories. P2/P3 can be optional reviews. - -### 5. Run Retrospectives - -Don't skip retrospectives. They provide valuable insights that improve velocity in subsequent epics. - -### 6. Use workflow-status - -When unsure what to do next, run workflow-status. It will guide you. - -### 7. Document Deviations - -If you deviate from architecture or PRD, document why in story file. - ---- - -## Common Anti-Patterns - -### ❌ Starting Multiple Stories Simultaneously - -"Let's parallelize 5 stories to go faster." -→ **Result**: Context switching, incomplete stories, harder to track - -### ❌ Skipping story-context - -"The DEV agent can just read the full PRD." -→ **Result**: Slow context loading, irrelevant info, slower implementation - -### ❌ No Code Reviews - -"Code reviews slow us down, skip them." -→ **Result**: Technical debt, inconsistent quality, bugs in production - -### ❌ Skipping Retrospectives - -"We're too busy shipping, no time for retros." -→ **Result**: Repeat mistakes, no process improvement, lower velocity - -### ✅ Correct Approach - -- Focus on one story at a time -- Always assemble story context -- Review P0/P1 stories -- Run retrospectives after epics -- Use workflow-status for guidance - ---- - -## Summary - -Phase 4 Implementation follows a **story-centric workflow**: - -| Workflow | Purpose | Frequency | -| --------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- | -| **sprint-planning** | Initialize tracking | Once at start | -| **epic-tech-context** | Technical guidance | Once per epic | -| **create-story** | Generate story file | Per story | -| **story-context** | Assemble context | Per story | -| **dev-story** | Implement story | Per story | -| **code-review** | Review quality | Per story (P0/P1) | -| **correct-course** | Handle changes | As needed | -| **retrospective** | Learn and improve | After each epic | - -**Key Takeaway:** Implementation is iterative and incremental.

Always Start with `plan-project` - -Unless you're absolutely certain which workflow you need, use the entry point. It will save time and ensure you get the right level of detail. - -### 2. Level Honestly - -Don't over-plan simple features or under-plan complex initiatives. Be honest about project complexity. - -### 3. Iterate on Requirements - -Planning documents are living. You can refine PRDs/GDDs as you learn more during Solutioning and Implementation. - -### 4. Involve Stakeholders Early - -Review PRDs/GDDs with stakeholders before proceeding to Solutioning. Catch misalignment early. - -### 5. Focus on "What" Not "How" - -Planning defines **what** to build and **why**. Leave **how** (technical design) to Phase 3 (Solutioning). - ---- - -## Common Anti-Patterns - -### ❌ Skipping Planning - -"We'll just start coding and figure it out." -→ **Result**: Scope creep, rework, missed requirements - -### ❌ Over-Planning Simple Changes - -"Let me write a 20-page PRD for this button color change." -→ **Result**: Wasted time, analysis paralysis - -### ❌ Planning Without Discovery - -"I already know what I want, skip the questions." -→ **Result**: Solving wrong problem, missing opportunities - -### ❌ Treating PRD as Immutable - -"The PRD is locked, no changes allowed." -→ **Result**: Ignoring new information, rigid planning - -### ✅ Correct Approach - -- Use scale-adaptive planning (right level for complexity) -- Involve stakeholders in review -- Iterate as you learn -- Keep planning docs living and updated - ---- - -## Summary - -Phase 2 Planning workflows transform vision into actionable requirements: - -| Input | Planning Workflow | Output | -| ----------------- | ----------------- | ---------------- | -| Product idea | **prd** | PRD + Epics | -| Game concept | **gdd** | GDD + Epics | -| Story idea | **narrative** | Narrative Design | -| UX innovation | **ux** | UX Specification | -| Bug/simple change | **tech-spec** | Quick Spec | - -**Key Takeaway:** Planning is **required** for all projects, but the **depth adapts** to project complexity.

Use ADRs for Key Decisions - -Every significant technology choice should have an ADR explaining the "why", not just the "what". - -### 4. Keep It Practical - -Don't over-architect Level 2 projects. Simple projects need simple architecture. - -### 5. Run Gate Check Before Implementation - -Catching alignment issues in solutioning is 10× faster than discovering them mid-implementation. - -### 6.

Execution Notes -- Lead with `*trace` so remediation plans target true coverage gaps. Ensure `*framework` and `*ci` are in place early in the engagement; if the brownfield lacks them, run those setup steps immediately after refreshing context. -- `*test-design` should highlight regression hotspots, mitigations, and P0 scenarios. +- Lead with `*trace` during Planning (Phase 2) to baseline existing test coverage before architecture work begins. +- **Phase 3 (Solutioning)**: After architecture is complete, run `*framework` and `*ci` to modernize test infrastructure. For brownfield, framework may need to integrate with or replace existing test setup. +- **Phase 4 starts**: After solutioning is complete and sprint planning loads all epics. +- **`*test-design` runs per-epic**: At the beginning of working on each epic, run `*test-design` to identify regression hotspots, integration risks, and mitigation strategies for THAT specific epic/feature. Output: `test-design-epic-N.md`. - Use `*atdd` when stories benefit from ATDD; otherwise proceed to implementation and rely on post-dev automation. - After development, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`, re-run `*trace` (Phase 2 for gate decision). Run `*nfr-assess` now if non-functional risks weren't addressed earlier. - Use `*test-review` to validate existing brownfield tests or audit new tests before gate. -- Product Owner `*solutioning-gate-check` confirms the team has artifacts before handoff or release.

-**Symptoms:** - -- Ignores specific requests -- Does something different than asked -- Doesn't respect constraints - -**Solution:** - -1. **Be more explicit** - Agents respond to clear, specific instructions: - - "Use EXACTLY these three steps..." - - "Do NOT include database migrations in this story" -2. **Check agent capabilities** - Agent might not have access to requested workflow -3. **Try different phrasing** - Rephrase request to be more direct -4. **Use menu system** - Numbers are clearer than text commands - ---- - -## Integration Issues (Brownfield) - -### Problem: New code conflicts with existing architecture - -**Symptoms:** - -- Integration approach doesn't fit existing structure -- Would require major refactoring -- Conflicts with established patterns - -**Solution:** - -1. **Check if document-project was run** - Agents need architecture context -2. **Review existing architecture docs**: - - Read docs/architecture.md (from document-project) - - Understand current system design -3. **For Level 3-4**: - - Run validate-architecture workflow before planning - - Use integration-planning workflow -4. **Explicitly document integration strategy** in architecture: - - How new components fit existing structure - - What modifications needed to existing code - - Migration path if changing patterns - -### Problem: Breaking changes to existing APIs - -**Symptoms:** - -- Changing API breaks consumers -- Downstream services affected -- Need backward compatibility - -**Solution:** - -1. **Identify all API consumers** (document-project should show this) -2. **Plan versioning strategy**: - - API v1 (existing) + v2 (new) - - Deprecation timeline -3. **Use feature flags** for gradual rollout -4. **Document migration guide** for API consumers -5. **Add to testing strategy**: - - Existing consumers still work (v1) - - New functionality works (v2) - -### Problem: Data migration required - -**Symptoms:** - -- Schema changes needed -- Existing data needs transformation -- Risk of data loss - -**Solution:** - -1. **Create explicit migration strategy** in architecture: - - Forward migration (old → new schema) - - Rollback plan (new → old schema) - - Data validation approach -2. **Test migrations thoroughly**: - - On copy of production data - - Measure performance impact -3. **Plan rollout**: - - Staging environment first - - Gradual production rollout - - Monitoring for issues -4. **Document in tech-spec/architecture**: - - Migration scripts - - Rollback procedures - - Expected downtime - ---- -

-## Common Error Messages - -### "No workflow status file found" - -**Cause:** Haven't run workflow-init yet -**Fix:** Load Analyst agent → run workflow-init - -### "Epic file not found" - -**Cause:** PRD/epics not created, or wrong path -**Fix:** Verify PRD/epics exist in output folder, check config.yaml paths - -### "Story not in sprint-status.yaml" - -**Cause:** Sprint-planning not run, or story file not created -**Fix:** Run sprint-planning workflow, verify story files exist - -### "Documentation insufficient for brownfield" - -**Cause:** No docs/index.md or document-project not run -**Fix:** Run document-project workflow with Deep scan - -### "Level detection failed" - -**Cause:** Ambiguous project description -**Fix:** Be more specific, use level keywords (fix, feature, platform, etc.) - -### "Context generation failed" - -**Cause:** Missing prerequisites (epic context, story file, or docs) -**Fix:** Verify epic-tech-context run, story file exists, docs present - ---- - -## Prevention Tips - -**Avoid common issues before they happen:** - -1. ✅ **Always run document-project for brownfield** - Saves hours of context issues later -2. ✅ **Use fresh chats for complex workflows** - Prevents hallucinations and context overflow -3. ✅ **Verify files exist before running workflows** - Check PRD, epics, stories are present -4. ✅ **Read agent menu before requesting workflows** - Confirm agent has the workflow -5. ✅ **Start with smaller level if unsure** - Easy to upgrade (Level 1 → 2), hard to downgrade -6. ✅ **Keep status files updated** - Manual updates when needed, don't let them drift -7. ✅ **Run retrospectives after epics** - Catch issues early, improve next epic -8. ✅ **Follow phase sequence** - Don't skip required phases (Phase 2 before 3, 3 before 4) -
