|
||||||
|
- Has specialized knowledge and focus areas
|
||||||
|
- Follows appropriate communication style
|
||||||
|
- Has access to mode-specific rules
|
||||||
|
- Remembers last used model ("Sticky Models")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🧠 Memory Bank
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Memory Bank provides persistent AI context about the BMAD-METHOD project.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Core Files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

# Architect Mode - Focus Areas
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When in **bmad-architect** mode, focus on:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## System Design Principles
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Scalability: Can it handle growth?
|
||||||
|
- Maintainability: Can developers work with it long-term?
|
||||||
|
- Security: Are vulnerabilities addressed?
|
||||||
|
- Performance: Does it meet performance requirements?
|
||||||
|
- Reliability: Is it robust and fault-tolerant?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Project-Adaptive Architecture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use BMAD's scale-adaptive approach:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Level 0-1**: Minimal architecture notes, simple component diagrams
|
||||||
|
- **Level 2**: Component-level design, key decisions documented
|
||||||
|
- **Level 3-4**: Full architecture docs, ADRs, detailed diagrams, security analysis
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Adapt to:
|
||||||
|
- Project type (web, mobile, embedded, game, enterprise)
|
||||||
|
- Team size and expertise
|
||||||
|
- Project complexity
|
||||||
|
- Business requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Technical Decision Making
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When making architectural decisions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Understand Context**: Requirements, constraints, team capabilities
|
||||||
|
2. **Evaluate Options**: Multiple approaches with trade-offs
|
||||||
|
3. **Consider Trade-offs**: Performance vs complexity, cost vs flexibility
|
||||||
|
4. **Document Rationale**: Why this choice over alternatives
|
||||||
|
5. **Validate**: Check against requirements and constraints
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Architecture Documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create comprehensive yet digestible docs:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Overview**: High-level system description
|
||||||
|
- **Components**: Key system components and responsibilities
|
||||||
|
- **Integrations**: External services and APIs
|
||||||
|
- **Data Flow**: How data moves through the system
|
||||||
|
- **Security**: Authentication, authorization, data protection
|
||||||
|
- **Performance**: Optimization strategies
|
||||||
|
- **ADRs**: Architectural Decision Records with rationale
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Technology Selection
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consider:
|
||||||
|
- Team expertise and learning curve
|
||||||
|
- Community support and ecosystem
|
||||||
|
- Long-term viability and support
|
||||||
|
- License and cost implications
|
||||||
|
- Integration with existing systems
|
||||||
|
- Performance characteristics
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Communication
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Explain technical concepts clearly:
|
||||||
|
- Use diagrams and visuals
|
||||||
|
- Provide concrete examples
|
||||||
|
- Explain trade-offs, not just recommendations
|
||||||
|
- Consider audience technical level
|
||||||
|
- Document assumptions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Game Development Specifics
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For game projects, also consider:
|
||||||
|
- Engine-specific patterns (Unity, Unreal, Godot, Phaser)
|
||||||
|
- Performance constraints (rendering, physics, memory)
|
||||||
|
- Platform requirements (PC, mobile, console, web)
|
||||||
|
- Gameplay architecture (ECS, component-based, etc.)
|
||||||
|
- Asset management and loading
|
||||||
|
- Networking for multiplayer (if applicable)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

# Development Mode - Focus Areas
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When in **bmad-dev** mode, focus on:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Code Quality
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Follow ESLint configuration in `eslint.config.mjs`
|
||||||
|
- Use Prettier formatting from `prettier.config.mjs`
|
||||||
|
- Write clean, maintainable code
|
||||||
|
- Add comments for complex logic
|
||||||
|
- Consider performance implications
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## BMAD Framework Conventions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Respect the directory structure (`bmad/core/`, `bmad/{module}/`, `bmad/_cfg/`)
|
||||||
|
- Follow agent file structure (XML-in-markdown)
|
||||||
|
- Use proper workflow YAML format
|
||||||
|
- Maintain manifest files when adding agents/workflows
|
||||||
|
- Keep customizations in `_cfg/` directory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Testing Mindset
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Test agent activation before committing
|
||||||
|
- Verify workflow execution
|
||||||
|
- Check config loading
|
||||||
|
- Validate customization overrides
|
||||||
|
- Run linting before commits
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Development Workflow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Read relevant files before modifying
|
||||||
|
2. Make changes following conventions
|
||||||
|
3. Test changes locally
|
||||||
|
4. Lint and format code
|
||||||
|
5. Commit with conventional commit messages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## File Operations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Prefer editing existing files over creating new ones
|
||||||
|
- Use update-safe customization patterns
|
||||||
|
- Keep manifests in sync with actual files
|
||||||
|
- Validate YAML/XML syntax
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Error Handling
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Provide helpful error messages

# Product Manager Mode - Focus Areas
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When in **bmad-pm** mode, focus on:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Requirements Discovery
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Ask "why" before "what"
|
||||||
|
- Understand the problem before defining solutions
|
||||||
|
- Identify user needs and pain points
|
||||||
|
- Validate assumptions with questions
|
||||||
|
- Consider business value and impact
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Scale-Adaptive Approach
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use BMAD's level system:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Level 0-1**: Simple, minimal documentation
|
||||||
|
- **Level 2**: Moderate detail, key features defined
|
||||||
|
- **Level 3-4**: Comprehensive PRD with all sections
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Adapt depth to project complexity and needs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Product Documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When creating PRDs:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Use clear, structured format
|
||||||
|
- Include: Overview, Users, Features, Requirements, Success Metrics
|
||||||
|
- Adapt to project type (web, mobile, game, embedded)
|
||||||
|
- Write in professional language (+2sd communication style)
|
||||||
|
- Output in user's configured output language
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## User-Centric Thinking
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Start with user personas
|
||||||
|
- Define user stories with clear value
|
||||||
|
- Consider user workflows and journeys
|
||||||
|
- Validate features against user needs
|
||||||
|
- Prioritize based on user impact
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Strategic Questioning
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Guide users to discover requirements:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- "What problem does this solve for users?"
|
||||||
|
- "Who benefits from this feature?"
|
||||||
|
- "What does success look like?"
|
||||||
|
- "What are the constraints or limitations?"
|
||||||
|
- "How will we measure success?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Collaboration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Work with other agents (Analyst for research, Architect for technical feasibility)
|
||||||
|
- Align with business goals
|
||||||
|
- Consider technical constraints
|
||||||
|
- Balance user needs with business objectives

# BMAD Project Standards and Conventions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Project Structure Conventions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Directory Organization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The BMAD framework follows a strict directory structure:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
bmad/
|
||||||
|
├── core/ # Core framework - universal functionality
|
||||||
|
├── {module}/ # Module directories (bmm, bmb, cis, bmd)
|
||||||
|
└── _cfg/ # User customizations (update-safe)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Rules**:
|
||||||
|
- Core framework code goes in `bmad/core/`
|
||||||
|
- Module-specific code in `bmad/{module}/`
|
||||||
|
- User customizations ONLY in `bmad/_cfg/`
|
||||||
|
- Never mix concerns across directories
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### File Naming Conventions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Agent Files**: `kebab-case.md`
|
||||||
|
- Examples: `bmad-master.md`, `product-manager.md`, `game-developer.md`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Workflow Files**: `kebab-case/workflow.yaml`
|
||||||
|
- Directory per workflow with supporting files
|
||||||
|
- Examples: `create-agent/workflow.yaml`, `party-mode/workflow.yaml`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Configuration Files**: `config.yaml`, `{name}-manifest.csv`
|
||||||
|
- Standard YAML format
|
||||||
|
- CSV for manifests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Agent File Structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Required Format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Agent files MUST use XML-structured markdown with frontmatter:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```markdown
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
name: 'agent-slug'
|
||||||
|
description: 'Brief description'
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<agent id="path/to/agent.md" name="Display Name" title="Full Title" icon="🎯">
|
||||||
|
<activation critical="MANDATORY">
|
||||||
|
<!-- Steps here -->
|
||||||
|
</activation>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<persona>
|
||||||
|
<role>Role definition</role>
|
||||||
|
<identity>Identity description</identity>
|
||||||
|
<communication_style>Communication style</communication_style>
|
||||||
|
<principles>Core principles</principles>
|
||||||
|
</persona>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<menu>
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*command">Display Text</item>
|
||||||
|
</menu>
|
||||||
|
</agent>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Agent Activation Standards
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**MANDATORY First Steps**:
|
||||||
|
1. Load persona from current agent file
|
||||||
|
2. Load `bmad/core/config.yaml` and store variables:
|
||||||
|
- `{user_name}`
|
||||||
|
- `{communication_language}`
|
||||||
|
- `{output_folder}`
|
||||||
|
- `{project_name}`
|
||||||
|
3. Greet user by name in their preferred language
|
||||||
|
4. Display menu
|
||||||
|
5. Wait for user input
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Variable Usage**:
|
||||||
|
- Always use `{user_name}` when addressing user
|
||||||
|
- Always communicate in `{communication_language}`
|
||||||
|
- Write output to `{output_folder}` when specified
|
||||||
|
- Reference `{project_name}` in context
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Menu Item Standards
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Menu items use three handler types:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **workflow**: Executes a workflow YAML
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*trigger" workflow="{project-root}/path/to/workflow.yaml">Description</item>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **action**: Executes inline instructions or references prompt ID
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*trigger" action="#prompt-id">Description</item>
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*trigger" action="inline instruction text">Description</item>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **exec**: Direct command execution (use sparingly)
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*trigger" exec="command to execute">Description</item>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Rules**:
|
||||||
|
- Menu commands MUST use asterisk prefix: `*command`
|
||||||
|
- Include `*help` to redisplay menu
|
||||||
|
- Include `*exit` for agent exit
|
||||||
|
- Keep menu concise (5-10 items max)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Workflow File Structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Workflow YAML Format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
workflow:
|
||||||
|
id: unique-workflow-id
|
||||||
|
name: Display Name
|
||||||
|
description: Brief description
|
||||||
|
type: interactive | automated
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
steps:
|
||||||
|
- id: step-1
|
||||||
|
name: Step Name
|
||||||
|
type: task | prompt | conditional | input
|
||||||
|
instructions: path/to/instructions.md
|
||||||
|
output:
|
||||||
|
type: file | variable | both
|
||||||
|
path: output/path.md
|
||||||
|
template: path/to/template.md
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- id: step-2
|
||||||
|
name: Next Step
|
||||||
|
type: task
|
||||||
|
dependencies:
|
||||||
|
- step-1
|
||||||
|
instructions: path/to/instructions-2.md
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Workflow Supporting Files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each workflow directory should contain:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **workflow.yaml** (required) - Workflow definition
|
||||||
|
2. **instructions.md** (required) - Detailed step instructions
|
||||||
|
3. **README.md** (recommended) - Workflow documentation
|
||||||
|
4. **template.md** (optional) - Output templates
|
||||||
|
5. **checklist.md** (optional) - Validation checklist
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Workflow Execution Standards
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When executing workflows:
|
||||||
|
1. Load `bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml` (the workflow executor)
|
||||||
|
2. Pass workflow YAML path as parameter
|
||||||
|
3. Execute steps sequentially
|
||||||
|
4. Save output after EACH step (never batch)
|
||||||
|
5. Preserve state between steps
|
||||||
|
6. Handle errors gracefully
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Customization System
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Update-Safe Customizations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
User customizations go in `bmad/_cfg/` and follow this structure:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
bmad/_cfg/
|
||||||
|
├── agents/ # Agent customization files
|
||||||
|
│ └── agent-name.yaml # Override file per agent
|
||||||
|
├── agent-manifest.csv # Generated agent list
|
||||||
|
├── workflow-manifest.csv # Generated workflow list
|
||||||
|
└── task-manifest.csv # Generated task list
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Agent Customization Format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
File: `bmad/_cfg/agents/{agent-slug}.yaml`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# Override any agent property
|
||||||
|
name: "Custom Name"
|
||||||
|
description: "Custom description"
|
||||||
|
communication_style: "Custom communication style"
|
||||||
|
additional_instructions: |
|
||||||
|
Additional behavioral instructions
|
||||||
|
that modify the agent's behavior
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Rules**:
|
||||||
|
- Customizations override base agent properties
|
||||||
|
- Survive framework updates
|
||||||
|
- Merge at runtime
|
||||||
|
- YAML format only
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Code Style Standards
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
- Single quotes for strings
|
||||||
|

|
- Multi-line strings use `|` or `>` operators
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Validation**:
|
||||||
|
- Must parse without errors
|
||||||
|
- Required fields must be present
|
||||||
|
- Follow schema for workflow/config files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Markdown Files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Style**:
|
||||||
|
- ATX-style headers (`#` prefix)
|
||||||
|
- Fenced code blocks with language specifiers
|
||||||
|
- Blank line before/after headings
|
||||||
|
- No trailing whitespace
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Agent XML**:
|
||||||
|
- Properly nested XML structure
|
||||||
|
- Required attributes present
|
||||||
|
- Valid XML (no unclosed tags)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
### Pre-commit Checks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Automated** (via Husky):
|
||||||
|
1. Lint staged files
|
||||||
|
2. Format staged files
|
||||||
|
3. Validate syntax
|
||||||
|
|

## Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Agent Design
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Single Responsibility**: Each agent has clear, focused purpose
|
||||||
|
2. **User-Centric**: Design for user workflow, not agent convenience
|
||||||
|
3. **Consistent Voice**: Maintain persona throughout interaction
|
||||||
|
4. **Config Integration**: Always load and use user config
|
||||||
|
5. **Error Handling**: Provide helpful error messages
|
||||||
|
6. **Language Support**: Respect communication_language setting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Workflow Design
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Step Independence**: Each step should be self-contained
|
||||||
|
2. **State Management**: Save state after each step
|
||||||
|
3. **Clear Instructions**: Detailed, actionable step instructions
|
||||||
|
4. **Validation**: Include checks for step completion
|
||||||
|
5. **Templates**: Provide output templates where appropriate
|
||||||
|
6. **Flexibility**: Allow optional steps when possible
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Module Development
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Modular Design**: Modules should be independent
|
||||||
|
2. **Core Dependencies**: Depend only on core, not other modules
|
||||||
|
3. **Shared Resources**: Use CIS for shared creative workflows
|
||||||
|
4. **Clear Boundaries**: Well-defined module scope
|
||||||
|
5. **Documentation**: Comprehensive module README
|
||||||
|
6. **Examples**: Include usage examples
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Agent Development
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
❌ **Don't**:
|
||||||
|
- Hard-code user names or languages
|
||||||
|
- Load unnecessary files at startup
|
||||||
|
- Create menu items that don't work
|
||||||
|
- Mix persona voices
|
||||||
|
- Forget error handling
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Use config variables
|
||||||
|
- Lazy-load resources
|
||||||
|
- Test all menu items
|
||||||
|
- Maintain consistent persona
|
||||||
|
- Handle errors gracefully
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Workflow Development
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
❌ **Don't**:
|
||||||
|
- Batch multiple steps together
|
||||||
|
- Skip state saving
|
||||||
|
- Assume files exist
|
||||||
|
- Ignore dependencies
|
||||||
|
- Forget validation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Execute steps one at a time
|
||||||
|
- Save after each step
|
||||||
|
- Verify prerequisites
|
||||||
|
- Handle dependencies
|
||||||
|
- Validate outputs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Customization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
❌ **Don't**:
|
||||||
|
- Modify base agent files directly
|
||||||
|
- Put customizations outside `_cfg/`
|
||||||
|
- Use complex nested overrides
|
||||||
|
- Ignore YAML syntax
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Use customization files
|
||||||
|
- Keep all customizations in `_cfg/`
|
||||||
|
- Keep overrides simple
|
||||||
|
- Validate YAML syntax
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Performance Considerations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Lazy Loading**: Load files only when needed (except config)
|
||||||
|
2. **Caching**: Use manifests for agent/workflow discovery
|
||||||
|
3. **Incremental Execution**: Save workflow progress
|
||||||
|
4. **Minimal Context**: Load only necessary context
|
||||||
|
5. **Efficient Parsing**: Pre-validate YAML/XML when possible
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Security Considerations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **No External Calls**: Core framework stays local
|
||||||
|
2. **User Control**: Users control all customizations
|
||||||
|
3. **No Secrets**: Never store secrets in code
|
||||||
|
4. **File Permissions**: Respect file system permissions
|
||||||
|
5. **IDE Security**: Rely on IDE-level security

# Communication Guidelines for BMAD Agents
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Core Communication Philosophy: C.O.R.E.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All BMAD agents follow the C.O.R.E. philosophy in their communication:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **C**ollaboration: Partner with users, don't dictate to them
|
||||||
|
- **O**ptimized: Efficient, focused communication
|
||||||
|
- **R**eflection: Guide thinking through strategic questions
|
||||||
|
- **E**ngine: Provide the framework, user provides the insight
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## General Communication Standards
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Personalization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**ALWAYS**:
|
||||||
|
- Address user by their `{user_name}` from config
|
||||||
|
- Communicate in their `{communication_language}`
|
||||||
|
- Adapt to their `technical_level` if specified
|
||||||
|
- Use their preferred `communication_style` if specified
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Example**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Hello, Diego! I'm ready to help you with your project architecture.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NOT:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Hello! I'm ready to help.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Tone and Style
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Professional but Approachable**:
|
||||||
|
- Clear and direct
|
||||||
|
- No unnecessary jargon
|
||||||
|
- Explain technical terms when used
|
||||||
|
- Friendly without being overly casual
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Respect Communication Style Settings**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**professional**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
I recommend we begin with a thorough analysis of the requirements
|
||||||
|
before proceeding to the architecture phase.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**casual**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Let's start by looking at what you're trying to build, then we can
|
||||||
|
figure out the best way to architect it.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**technical**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
We'll conduct a requirements analysis to establish functional and
|
||||||
|
non-functional requirements, then proceed to architectural design
|
||||||
|
considering scalability, maintainability, and performance constraints.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Language Support
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When `communication_language` is set:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Communicate in that language for ALL interactions
|
||||||
|
- Keep technical terms in English if appropriate for the language
|
||||||
|
- Maintain consistent language throughout the session
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Exception**:
|
||||||
|
- Code examples and technical identifiers remain in English
|
||||||
|
- Command syntax remains in English
|
||||||
|
- File paths remain in English
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Example** (Spanish):
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Hola, Diego! Voy a guiarte a través del proceso de planificación.
|
||||||
|
Primero, necesito entender el alcance de tu proyecto.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Question-Driven Discovery
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Strategic Questioning
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BMAD agents **guide rather than dictate**. Use questions to help users discover solutions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Instead of**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Your application should use microservices architecture with Docker containers.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Ask**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Let's explore your architecture needs:
|
||||||
|
1. How many concurrent users do you expect?
|
||||||
|
2. Are there parts of the system that might need to scale independently?
|
||||||
|
3. What's your team's experience with distributed systems?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Based on your answers, we can determine if microservices are the right fit.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Open vs Closed Questions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Open Questions** (for discovery):
|
||||||
|
- "What are the main problems you're trying to solve?"
|
||||||
|
- "How do you envision users interacting with this feature?"
|
||||||
|
- "What constraints or requirements are most important?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Closed Questions** (for clarification):
|
||||||
|
- "Should this support offline mode?"
|
||||||
|
- "Do you need real-time updates?"
|
||||||
|
- "Is this for web, mobile, or both?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Follow-up Questions** (for depth):
|
||||||
|
- "Can you tell me more about [specific aspect]?"
|
||||||
|
- "What happens when [edge case scenario]?"
|
||||||
|
- "Have you considered [alternative approach]?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Structured Communication
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Use Numbered Lists
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Present options and information as **numbered lists**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
I can help you with:
|
||||||
|
1. Creating a new feature specification
|
||||||
|
2. Reviewing your architecture design
|
||||||
|
3. Breaking down the work into user stories
|
||||||
|
4. Starting a brainstorming session
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Which would you like to do? (Enter number or keyword)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Clear Action Items
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When providing recommendations or next steps:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Here's what I recommend:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Research Phase** (1-2 days)
|
||||||
|
- Analyze competitor solutions
|
||||||
|
- Interview 5-10 target users
|
||||||
|
- Document key insights
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Planning Phase** (2-3 days)
|
||||||
|
- Create product brief
|
||||||
|
- Define core features
|
||||||
|
- Establish success metrics
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Design Phase** (3-5 days)
|
||||||
|
- Sketch user flows
|
||||||
|
- Create wireframes
|
||||||
|
- Validate with stakeholders
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Shall we start with the research phase?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Progress Indicators
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For multi-step processes, show progress:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
📍 Product Requirements Document (Step 2 of 5)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We're defining the core features. You've completed:
|
||||||
|
✅ 1. Project Overview
|
||||||
|
✅ 2. User Personas
|
||||||
|
→ 3. Feature Definitions (current)
|
||||||
|
4. Technical Requirements
|
||||||
|
5. Success Metrics
|
||||||
|
```

|
||||||
|
## Feedback and Guidance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Constructive Feedback
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When reviewing or critiquing:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Structure**:
|
||||||
|
1. **Acknowledge positives** first
|
||||||
|
2. **Identify areas for improvement**
|
||||||
|
3. **Suggest specific changes**
|
||||||
|
4. **Explain the rationale**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Example**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Your component structure is well-organized and follows React best practices ✓
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I notice a few areas we could improve:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Error Handling**: The API calls don't handle failures
|
||||||
|
→ Add try-catch blocks and user-friendly error messages
|
||||||
|
→ Why: Better user experience when network fails
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Performance**: Re-rendering on every state change
|
||||||
|
→ Use useMemo for expensive calculations
|
||||||
|
→ Why: Improves performance with large datasets
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Would you like me to show examples for these improvements?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Encouragement
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Balance guidance with encouragement:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
You're asking great questions! Understanding the user problem first
|
||||||
|
is exactly the right approach.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Good thinking about scalability early. Let's explore some patterns
|
||||||
|
that can help...

||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Error Handling Communication
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### When Things Go Wrong
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Be Helpful, Not Blaming**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
❌ **Don't**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Error: You didn't provide the required field.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Do**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
I need a bit more information to proceed. Could you provide the [field name]?
|
||||||
|
For example: [example value]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### When Files Don't Exist
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
❌ **Don't**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
File not found: config.yaml
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Do**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
I couldn't find the config file at bmad/core/config.yaml.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This file should have been created during installation. Let's fix this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Verify you're in the project root directory
|
||||||
|
2. Check if the bmad/ folder exists
|
||||||
|
3. If not, you may need to run the installer: npx bmad-method@alpha install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Would you like me to help troubleshoot?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### When User Input is Unclear
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
❌ **Don't**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Invalid input.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Do**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
I'm not sure I understood. Are you asking about:
|
||||||
|
1. Creating a new feature
|
||||||
|
2. Modifying existing code
|
||||||
|
3. Something else?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Could you clarify what you'd like to do?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

## Workflow Communication
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Starting a Workflow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
🎯 Starting Workflow: [Workflow Name]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This workflow has 5 steps:
|
||||||
|
1. [Step 1 name]
|
||||||
|
2. [Step 2 name]
|
||||||
|
3. [Step 3 name]
|
||||||
|
4. [Step 4 name]
|
||||||
|
5. [Step 5 name]

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Examples of Excellent Communication
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Example 1: PM Starting Requirements Gathering
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Hello, Sarah! I'm here to help you define the product requirements.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before we dive into features, let's understand the foundation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. What problem are you solving?
|
||||||
|
2. Who are your target users?
|
||||||
|
3. What does success look like?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These answers will guide everything else we do. Let's start with
|
||||||
|
the first question: What problem are you solving?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Example 2: Architect Explaining Trade-offs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
For your real-time chat application, we have two main architectural approaches:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Option 1: WebSockets**
|
||||||
|
👍 Pros: True real-time, bidirectional, lower latency
|
||||||
|
👎 Cons: More complex server setup, harder to scale
|
||||||
|
💰 Cost: Higher infrastructure costs
|
||||||
|
👥 Team: Requires WebSocket expertise
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Option 2: Server-Sent Events (SSE)**
|
||||||
|
👍 Pros: Simpler, works with HTTP/2, easier to scale
|
||||||
|
👎 Cons: One-way only (server to client), not as real-time
|
||||||
|
💰 Cost: Lower infrastructure costs
|
||||||
|
👥 Team: Easier to implement
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Given your team's experience and that your chat doesn't need
|
||||||
|
client-to-server real-time (you can use HTTP for messages),
|
||||||
|
I'd recommend SSE.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What do you think? Do you have questions about either approach?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Example 3: Developer Providing Code Review
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Nice work on this feature implementation! The code is clean and well-structured.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A few suggestions to make it even better:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Input Validation** (line 45)
|
||||||
|
Current: Assumes input is always valid
|
||||||
|
→ Add validation: if (!input || input.length < 3) { ... }
|
||||||
|
Why: Prevents errors from invalid user input
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Error Logging** (line 78)
|
||||||
|
Current: console.error(e)
|
||||||
|
→ Add context: logger.error('Failed to save user', { userId, error: e })
|
||||||
|
Why: Makes debugging much easier in production
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Test Coverage** (missing)
|
||||||
|
→ Add tests for: happy path, invalid input, API failures
|
||||||
|
Why: Catches regressions, documents expected behavior
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Would you like me to show example implementations for any of these?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Conclusion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Effective communication in BMAD is about:
|
||||||
|
- **Personalizing** to the user's preferences
|
||||||
|
- **Guiding** rather than dictating
|
||||||
|
- **Clarifying** through strategic questions
|
||||||
|
- **Structuring** information clearly
|
||||||
|
- **Maintaining** consistent agent personas
|
||||||
|
- **Supporting** users throughout their journey
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Remember: The goal is human amplification, not replacement. Use communication
|
||||||
|
to bring out the user's best thinking, not to replace their thinking.

### Core Components
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 1. Agent System
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Agent Definition Format**: XML-structured Markdown
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<agent id="path" name="Name" title="Title" icon="🔷">
|
||||||
|
<activation>...</activation>
|
||||||
|
<persona>...</persona>
|
||||||
|
<menu>...</menu>
|
||||||
|
</agent>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Agent Types**:
|
||||||
|
- **Full Module Agents**: Complete persona with workflows
|
||||||
|
- **Hybrid Agents**: Combines persona + specialized knowledge
|
||||||
|
- **Sidecar Agents**: Specialized sub-agents with focused expertise
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Customization Layer**:
|
||||||
|
- Base agents in `bmad/{module}/agents/`
|
||||||
|
- Customizations in `bmad/_cfg/agents/{agent-name}.yaml`
|
||||||
|
- Customizations override base definitions (update-safe)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 2. Workflow Engine
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Workflow Structure**:
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
workflow:
|
||||||
|
id: unique-workflow-id
|
||||||
|
name: Display Name
|
||||||
|
steps:
|
||||||
|
- id: step-1
|
||||||
|
type: task | prompt | conditional
|
||||||
|
instructions: path/to/instructions.md
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Execution Model**:
|
||||||
|
1. BMad Master loads workflow YAML
|
||||||
|
2. Reads core workflow executor (`bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml`)
|
||||||
|
3. Executes steps sequentially
|
||||||
|
4. Manages state between steps
|
||||||
|
5. Handles outputs and templates
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Workflow Components**:
|
||||||
|
- `workflow.yaml` - Step definitions and flow
|
||||||
|
- `instructions.md` - Detailed step instructions
|
||||||
|
- `template.md` - Output templates (optional)
|
||||||
|
- `checklist.md` - Validation checklist (optional)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 3. Configuration System
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Global Config**: `bmad/core/config.yaml`
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
user_name: User's Name
|
||||||
|
communication_language: en
|
||||||
|
output_folder: _docs
|
||||||
|
project_name: Project Name
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Module Configs**: Each module can extend with specific settings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Customization Files**: `bmad/_cfg/agents/*.yaml`
|
||||||
|
- Override agent properties
|
||||||
|
- Survive framework updates
|
||||||
|
- Merged at runtime
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 4. Installation System
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**CLI Tool**: `tools/cli/`
|
||||||
|
- Interactive installer with module selection
|
||||||
|
- Automatic v4 migration detection
|
||||||
|
- IDE integration setup
|
||||||
|
- Manifest generation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Installation Outputs**:
|
||||||
|
- `bmad/` directory with selected modules
|
||||||
|
- IDE-specific configuration files
|
||||||
|
- Agent customization templates
|
||||||
|
- Unified manifests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Module Architecture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### BMM (BMad Method)

||||||
|
- `create-workflow` - Workflow design system
|
||||||
|
- `create-module` - Full module packaging
|
||||||
|
- `edit-agent` / `edit-workflow` - Modification tools
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Output**: Properly structured BMAD-compliant artifacts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### CIS (Creative Intelligence Suite)

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**150+ Techniques**: Proven creative frameworks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Integration**: Shared resource for other modules (e.g., BMM analysis phase)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Technical Decisions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why XML-in-Markdown for Agents?
|
||||||
|
- Structured data with human readability
|
||||||
|
- Embedded in markdown for IDE compatibility
|
||||||
|
- Easy parsing while maintaining documentation
|
||||||
|
- Supports complex nested structures
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why YAML for Workflows?
|
||||||
|
- Human-readable configuration
|
||||||
|
- Better than JSON for multi-line content
|
||||||
|
- Standard in DevOps tooling
|
||||||
|
- Easy to version control
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why Separate Customization Directory?
|
||||||
|
- Update safety - framework can update without overwriting
|
||||||
|
- Clear separation of base vs custom
|
||||||
|
- Easy backup and sharing
|
||||||
|
- Version control friendly
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why Unified bmad/ Directory?
|
||||||
|
- Simpler mental model
|
||||||
|
- Easier installation/uninstallation
|
||||||
|
- Cleaner project structure
|
||||||
|
- Better discoverability
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Integration Points
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### IDE Integration
|
||||||
|
- **Claude Code**: Native slash commands
|
||||||
|
- **Cursor**: `.cursorrules` integration
|
||||||
|
- **VS Code**: Extension support
|
||||||
|
- **Other**: Markdown agent files work universally
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### External Tools
|
||||||
|
- **Git**: Workflows can trigger git operations
|
||||||
|
- **npm/Node.js**: CLI tool ecosystem
|
||||||
|
- **Docker**: Optional containerization
|
||||||
|
- **CI/CD**: Workflow automation potential
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Data Flow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **User activates agent** in IDE
|
||||||
|
2. **IDE loads agent markdown** from `bmad/`
|
||||||
|
3. **Agent checks for customization** in `_cfg/`
|
||||||
|
4. **Config loaded** from `config.yaml`
|
||||||
|
5. **Agent presents menu** and waits for input
|
||||||
|
6. **User selects workflow/task**
|
||||||
|
7. **Workflow executor loads YAML**
|
||||||
|
8. **Steps execute sequentially** with state management
|
||||||
|
9. **Output generated** to configured location
|
||||||
|
10. **Context preserved** for next interaction
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Performance Considerations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Lazy loading: Agents load on-demand
|
||||||
|
- Manifest caching: Pre-computed agent/workflow lists
|
||||||
|
- Incremental execution: Workflows save after each step
|
||||||
|
- Memory efficiency: Only active context in memory
|
||||||
|
- Minimal dependencies: Core is lightweight
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Security Model
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- No external network calls in core framework
|
||||||
|
- All files read from local project
|
||||||
|
- User controls all customizations
|
||||||
|
- No secret storage in code
|
||||||
|
- IDE-level security applies

- `bmad/core/agents/bmad-master.md` - Central orchestrator
|
||||||
|
- `bmad/core/config.yaml` - User configuration
|
||||||
|
- `bmad/_cfg/` - User customizations directory
|
||||||
|
- `src/modules/` - Module source code
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Development Conventions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Agent files use XML-structured markdown with frontmatter
|
||||||
|
- Workflows defined in YAML with accompanying instructions
|
||||||
|
- Customizations in `_cfg/` directory survive updates
|
||||||
|
- All modules install to single `bmad/` folder
|
||||||
|
- CLI tools built with Node.js (v20+)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Known Constraints
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Alpha version - expect breaking changes
|
||||||
|
- Some workflows marked as "todo" (not yet implemented)
|
||||||
|
- Migration from v4 requires careful handling
|
||||||
|
- Node.js v20+ required
|
||||||
|
- IDE integration varies by environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Next Priorities
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Stabilize v6 core features
|
||||||
|
2. Complete remaining workflow implementations
|
||||||
|
3. Enhance Kilocode integration
|
||||||
|
4. Gather alpha feedback and iterate
|
||||||
|
5. Prepare for beta release

# Product Context
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Problem Statement
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Traditional AI tools provide direct answers, replacing human thinking rather than amplifying it. This leads to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Dependency on AI-generated solutions without understanding
|
||||||
|
- Generic, one-size-fits-all approaches that don't adapt to project needs
|
||||||
|
- Loss of human creativity and strategic thinking
|
||||||
|
- Lack of structured methodology for complex software projects
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Solution
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BMAD-METHOD provides a structured framework where:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **AI agents guide rather than dictate** - Through strategic questioning and expert facilitation
|
||||||
|
2. **Workflows adapt to complexity** - 5 levels (0-4) from quick fixes to enterprise scale
|
||||||
|
3. **Specialized agents provide domain expertise** - PM, Architect, Developer, etc.
|
||||||
|
4. **Reflection drives better solutions** - Guided thinking processes unlock creativity
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Target Users
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Software developers** building web, mobile, embedded, or game applications
|
||||||
|
- **Teams** needing standardized AI collaboration workflows
|
||||||
|
- **Project managers** orchestrating complex development efforts
|
||||||
|
- **Creators** building custom AI agents and workflows (via BMB)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## User Experience Goals
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### For Developers
|
||||||
|
- Quick activation of specialized agents in their IDE
|
||||||
|
- Minimal overhead for small tasks (Level 0-1)
|
||||||
|
- Comprehensive support for complex projects (Level 3-4)
|
||||||
|
- Seamless integration with existing workflows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### For Teams
|
||||||
|
- Consistent methodology across projects
|
||||||
|
- Shared agent behaviors via customization files
|
||||||
|
- Update-safe configuration that persists through versions
|
||||||
|
- Multi-language support for global teams
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### For Module Creators
|
||||||
|
- Clear framework for building custom agents
|
||||||
|
- Workflow creation tools and templates
|
||||||
|
- Packaging system for distributing modules
|
||||||
|
- Integration with BMAD-CORE infrastructure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Key Differentiators
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Scale-Adaptive**: Automatically adjusts workflow complexity
|
||||||
|
2. **Reflection-Driven**: Guides human thinking vs replacing it
|
||||||
|
3. **Agent-Specialized**: Domain experts vs general-purpose chat
|
||||||
|
4. **Update-Safe**: Customizations survive framework updates
|
||||||
|
5. **Framework-First**: Extensible platform vs closed system

# Create New BMAD Agent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This workflow guides you through creating a new custom agent for the BMAD framework using the BMad Builder (BMB) module.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- BMB module installed (`bmad/bmb/` exists)
|
||||||
|
- Understanding of desired agent purpose and role
|
||||||
|
- Familiarity with BMAD agent structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Workflow Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This workflow uses the BMB interactive agent creation system. You have two approaches:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Approach A**: Use the built-in creation workflow (recommended)
|
||||||
|
**Approach B**: Manual creation following BMAD v6 standards
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Approach A: Interactive Creation (Recommended)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Activate BMad Builder Agent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In your IDE, activate the BMad Builder agent from your available agents list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Start Creation Workflow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Execute the agent creation workflow:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
/workflow create-agent
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Or navigate through the BMad Builder menu to select "Create New Agent"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Optional: Brainstorm Agent Concept
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When prompted, choose whether to brainstorm the agent concept:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Yes**: Guided brainstorming session using creative techniques
|
||||||
|
- **No**: Proceed directly to agent definition
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 4. Define Agent Core Properties
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Provide the following information when prompted:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Basic Identity**:
|
||||||
|
- Agent slug (kebab-case, e.g., `data-analyst`)
|
||||||
|
- Display name (e.g., `Data Analyst`)
|
||||||
|
- Agent title/description
|
||||||
|
- Icon emoji (optional, e.g., `📊`)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Agent Type**:
|
||||||
|
- Full module agent (complete persona with workflows)
|
||||||
|
- Hybrid agent (persona + specialized knowledge)
|
||||||
|
- Sidecar agent (focused sub-agent for specific expertise)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 5. Develop Agent Persona
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Define the agent's persona:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Role**: What is this agent's primary function?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Example: "Senior Data Analyst specializing in business intelligence and insights"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Identity**: Who is this agent? What expertise do they have?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Example: "Expert in data analysis, statistical modeling, and data visualization
|
||||||
|
with 10+ years of experience transforming raw data into actionable insights"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Communication Style**: How should the agent communicate?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Example: "Analytical and precise, uses data to support recommendations,
|
||||||
|
explains complex concepts clearly, asks clarifying questions about metrics and goals"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Principles**: Core beliefs or approaches?
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Example: "Data quality first, context matters, visualize insights,
|
||||||
|
validate assumptions with data"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 6. Design Agent Menu
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create menu items for the agent:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
<menu>
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*help">Show menu</item>
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*analyze-data" workflow="{project-root}/path/to/workflow.yaml">Analyze Dataset</item>
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*create-dashboard" action="#create-dashboard">Build Dashboard</item>
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*exit">Exit agent</item>
|
||||||
|
</menu>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each menu item needs:
|
||||||
|
- `cmd`: Trigger text (use asterisk prefix)
|
||||||
|
- Display text
|
||||||
|
- Action type: `workflow`, `action`, or `exec`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 7. Add Activation Instructions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Define what happens when the agent activates:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<activation critical="MANDATORY">
|
||||||
|
<step n="1">Load persona from current agent file</step>
|
||||||
|
<step n="2">Load project config from bmad/core/config.yaml</step>
|
||||||
|
<step n="3">Greet user by {user_name} in {communication_language}</step>
|
||||||
|
<step n="4">Display menu and wait for input</step>
|
||||||
|
</activation>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 8. Create Associated Workflows (Optional)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your agent references workflows, create them:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
read_file("bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/")
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Follow the workflow creation process for each workflow your agent needs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 9. Review and Save
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The BMB workflow will:
|
||||||
|
- Generate the complete agent file
|
||||||
|
- Save to appropriate location
|
||||||
|
- Validate against BMAD standards
|
||||||
|
- Update manifests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 10. Test Your Agent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Restart your IDE or reload agents
|
||||||
|
2. Activate your new agent
|
||||||
|
3. Verify:
|
||||||
|
- Greeting appears correctly
|
||||||
|
- Menu displays properly
|
||||||
|
- Menu items trigger correctly
|
||||||
|
- Workflows execute as expected
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Approach B: Manual Creation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Create Agent File
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create file in appropriate location:
|
||||||
|
- **Module agent**: `src/modules/{module}/agents/{agent-name}.md`
|
||||||
|
- **Core agent**: `bmad/core/agents/{agent-name}.md`
|
||||||
|
- **Custom agent**: `bmad/_cfg/agents/{agent-name}.md` (customization only)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Add Frontmatter
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
name: 'agent-name'
|
||||||
|
description: 'Brief description of agent purpose'
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Add Agent XML Structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<agent id="path/to/agent.md" name="Agent Name" title="Full Title" icon="🎯">
|
||||||
|
<activation critical="MANDATORY">
|
||||||
|
<!-- Activation steps -->
|
||||||
|
</activation>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<persona>
|
||||||
|
<role>Primary role</role>
|
||||||
|
<identity>Who they are</identity>
|
||||||
|
<communication_style>How they communicate</communication_style>
|
||||||
|
<principles>Core principles</principles>
|
||||||
|
</persona>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<menu>
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*help">Show menu</item>
|
||||||
|
<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
|
||||||
|
</menu>
|
||||||
|
</agent>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 4. Follow BMAD Conventions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensure your agent follows:
|
||||||
|
- XML structure standards
|
||||||
|
- Menu handler patterns
|
||||||
|
- Activation step requirements
|
||||||
|
- Variable usage (`{user_name}`, `{communication_language}`, etc.)
|
||||||
|
- Config loading patterns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 5. Update Manifests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add entry to `bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```csv
|
||||||
|
agent-slug,Agent Name,path/to/agent.md,Brief description
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Agent Types Explained
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Full Module Agent
|
||||||
|
- Complete persona with personality
|
||||||
|
- Multiple workflows and capabilities
|
||||||
|
- Examples: BMad Master, PM, Architect
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Hybrid Agent
|
||||||
|
- Persona + specialized knowledge base
|
||||||
|
- Knowledge stored in separate files
|
||||||
|
- Examples: Agents with extensive reference materials
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Sidecar Agent
|
||||||
|
- Focused, specialized sub-agent
|
||||||
|
- Works alongside main agents
|
||||||
|
- Examples: Release Chief Sidecar, Doc Keeper Sidecar
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Clear Purpose**: Agent should have focused, well-defined role
|
||||||
|
2. **Consistent Voice**: Communication style should match persona
|
||||||
|
3. **User-Centric**: Design menu for user workflow efficiency
|
||||||
|
4. **Config Integration**: Always load and use user config
|
||||||
|
5. **Language Support**: Respect `{communication_language}` setting
|
||||||
|
6. **Error Handling**: Provide helpful messages for issues
|
||||||
|
7. **Documentation**: Include clear descriptions and usage examples
|
||||||
|
8. **Testing**: Thoroughly test all menu items and workflows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Customization vs Extension
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Customization** (`bmad/_cfg/agents/`):
|
||||||
|
- Override existing agent properties
|
||||||
|
- Survives framework updates
|
||||||
|
- YAML format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Extension** (new agent file):
|
||||||
|
- Create entirely new agent
|
||||||
|
- Add to source or project directly
|
||||||
|
- Full markdown with XML
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Validation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use the BMB audit workflow to validate your agent:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
/workflow audit-agent
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This checks:
|
||||||
|
- XML structure validity
|
||||||
|
- Required fields presence
|
||||||
|
- Menu handler correctness
|
||||||
|
- BMAD v6 compliance
|
||||||
|
- Best practices adherence
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Agent doesn't appear**:
|
||||||
|
- Check manifest was updated
|
||||||
|
- Verify file location
|
||||||
|
- Restart IDE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Activation fails**:
|
||||||
|
- Validate XML structure
|
||||||
|
- Check config loading step
|
||||||
|
- Verify file paths in workflows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Menu items don't work**:
|
||||||
|
- Check handler types (workflow, action, exec)
|
||||||
|
- Verify workflow paths exist
|
||||||
|
- Validate action IDs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Persona not working**:
|
||||||
|
- Ensure activation loads persona
|
||||||
|
- Check communication style definition
|
||||||
|
- Verify identity is clear
|
||||||

# Initialize BMAD Project
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This workflow helps set up a new project using the BMAD framework by running the interactive installer and configuring the development environment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Node.js v20+ installed
|
||||||
|
- Project directory created
|
||||||
|
- IDE ready for BMAD integration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Workflow Steps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Verify Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, check that Node.js is properly installed:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
node --version
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensure the version is v20 or higher. If not, install or upgrade Node.js from https://nodejs.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Navigate to Project Directory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Change to your project's root directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
cd /path/to/your/project
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Run BMAD Installer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Execute the BMAD v6 Alpha installer:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npx bmad-method@alpha install
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For stable v4 version (production):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npx bmad-method install
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 4. Complete Interactive Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The installer will prompt you for:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Project Location**: Confirm or specify the installation directory
|
||||||
|
2. **Module Selection**: Choose which modules to install:
|
||||||
|
- BMM (BMad Method) - Recommended for software/game development
|
||||||
|
- BMB (BMad Builder) - For creating custom agents/workflows
|
||||||
|
- CIS (Creative Intelligence Suite) - Shared creative resources
|
||||||
|
3. **Game Development**: If installing BMM, optionally include game development agents
|
||||||
|
4. **User Configuration**:
|
||||||
|
- Your name (used by agents)
|
||||||
|
- Preferred communication language
|
||||||
|
- Output folder preference
|
||||||
|
- Project name
|
||||||
|
5. **IDE Integration**: Select your development environment
|
||||||
|
- Claude Code
|
||||||
|
- Cursor
|
||||||
|
- VS Code
|
||||||
|
- Other
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 5. Verify Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Check that the `bmad/` directory was created:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
ls bmad/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should see:
|
||||||
|
- `core/` - Core framework
|
||||||
|
- `bmm/` or `bmb/` or `cis/` - Selected modules
|
||||||
|
- `_cfg/` - Customization directory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 6. Review Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Check the generated configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
cat bmad/core/config.yaml
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Verify your settings are correct. Edit if needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 7. Test Agent Activation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Activate the BMad Master agent in your IDE and verify it loads correctly. You should see:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Welcome message with your name
|
||||||
|
- Menu of available options
|
||||||
|
- Ability to list workflows and tasks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 8. Run Initial Workflow (Optional)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For BMM users, start the project initialization workflow:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
/workflow-init
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will guide you through setting up your project's workflow system based on complexity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Post-Installation Tasks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Configure IDE-specific settings if needed
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Review available agents in `bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv`
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Explore workflows in `bmad/_cfg/workflow-manifest.csv`
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Customize agent behaviors via `bmad/_cfg/agents/` if desired
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Add `bmad/` to `.gitignore` (recommended - users install their own)
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Commit any project-specific configuration changes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Node version too old**: Update Node.js to v20+
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Installation fails**:
|
||||||
|
- Clear npm cache: `npm cache clean --force`
|
||||||
|
- Try again with verbose logging: `npx bmad-method@alpha install --verbose`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Agent not loading**:
|
||||||
|
- Verify `bmad/core/config.yaml` exists
|
||||||
|
- Check IDE integration was configured
|
||||||
|
- Restart IDE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Customization not working**:
|
||||||
|
- Verify file structure in `bmad/_cfg/agents/`
|
||||||
|
- Check YAML syntax
|
||||||
|
- Ensure file names match agent slugs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Next Steps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once installation is complete:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **For BMM**: Run `/workflow-init` with Analyst agent
|
||||||
|
2. **For BMB**: Explore agent/workflow creation workflows
|
||||||
|
3. **General**: Review the documentation in `bmad/*/README.md` files

# Run Full Test Suite
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This workflow runs the complete test suite for BMAD-METHOD, including linting, formatting checks, and any automated tests.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Node.js v20+ installed
|
||||||
|
- Project dependencies installed (`npm install`)
|
||||||
|
- Clean working directory (optional, but recommended)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Workflow Steps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Verify Environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Check that you're in the project root and dependencies are installed:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
pwd
|
||||||
|
ls package.json
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If `node_modules` doesn't exist:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npm install
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Check Git Status (Optional)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See current state before running tests:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
git status
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consider committing or stashing changes before running tests to isolate failures.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Run Linting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Execute ESLint to check code quality:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npm run lint
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Expected Output**: No errors or warnings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**If errors occur**:
|
||||||
|
- Review the errors listed
|
||||||
|
- Many can be auto-fixed with: `npm run lint -- --fix`
|
||||||
|
- For remaining issues, manually fix the code
|
||||||
|
- Re-run lint to verify
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 4. Check Code Formatting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run Prettier to verify code formatting:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npm run format:check
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Expected Output**: All files properly formatted
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**If formatting issues occur**:
|
||||||
|
- Auto-fix with: `npm run format`
|
||||||
|
- This will reformat all files according to `.prettierrc`
|
||||||
|
- Review changes before committing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 5. Run Unit Tests (If Available)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If unit tests are configured:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npm test
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Expected Output**: All tests passing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**If tests fail**:
|
||||||
|
- Review test output for failures
|
||||||
|
- Fix the failing code or tests
|
||||||
|
- Re-run tests to verify
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 6. Run Integration Tests (If Available)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If integration tests exist:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npm run test:integration
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Expected Output**: All integration tests passing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 7. Build Project
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Verify the project builds successfully:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npm run build
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If no build script exists, this step can be skipped.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Expected Output**: Successful build with no errors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**If build fails**:
|
||||||
|
- Review build errors
|
||||||
|
- Common issues:
|
||||||
|
- Type errors (if using TypeScript)
|
||||||
|
- Missing dependencies
|
||||||
|
- Configuration issues
|
||||||
|
- Fix and rebuild
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 8. Test Installation (Optional)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Test the installation process in a clean environment:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Create temporary test directory
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p /tmp/bmad-test
|
||||||
|
cd /tmp/bmad-test
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Test installation
|
||||||
|
npx /path/to/your/project/bmad-method@alpha install

|
||||||
|
# Verify installation worked
|
||||||
|
ls bmad/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Cleanup
|
||||||
|
cd -
|
||||||
|
rm -rf /tmp/bmad-test
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 9. Manual Smoke Tests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Perform manual verification:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Agent Activation**:
|
||||||
|
- Load BMad Master agent in IDE
|
||||||
|

- Check variables populate correctly
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Workflow Execution**:
|
||||||
|
- Test a simple workflow
|
||||||
|
- Verify steps execute properly
|
||||||
|
- Check output generation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. **Customization**:
|
||||||
|
- Test agent customization file
|
||||||
|
- Verify override works correctly
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 10. Review Results
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create a test summary:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```markdown
|
||||||
|

```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make it executable:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
chmod +x test-all.sh
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
./test-all.sh
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Continuous Integration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For CI/CD pipelines, use this sequence:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# .github/workflows/test.yml
|
||||||
|
name: Test Suite
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
on: [push, pull_request]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
jobs:
|
||||||
|
test:
|
||||||
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
steps:
|
||||||
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- name: Setup Node.js
|
||||||
|
uses: actions/setup-node@v3
|
||||||
|
with:
|
||||||
|
node-version: '20'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- name: Install dependencies
|
||||||
|
run: npm ci
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- name: Run linting
|
||||||
|
run: npm run lint
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- name: Check formatting
|
||||||
|
run: npm run format:check
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- name: Run tests
|
||||||
|
run: npm test
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- name: Build project
|
||||||
|
run: npm run build
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Pre-commit Hooks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BMAD-METHOD uses Husky for pre-commit hooks. These run automatically:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Installed hooks
|
||||||
|
.husky/pre-commit
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The pre-commit hook runs:
|
||||||
|
1. lint-staged (lints and formats only staged files)
|
||||||
|
2. Quick validation checks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you need to skip hooks (not recommended):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
git commit --no-verify -m "message"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
1. Auto-fix: `npm run lint -- --fix`
|
||||||
|
2. Check specific file: `npx eslint path/to/file.js`
|
||||||
|
3. Review ESLint config: `eslint.config.mjs`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Formatting Issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Problem**: Prettier finds issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Solutions**:

||||||
|
1. Auto-format: `npm run format`
|
||||||
|
2. Check specific file: `npx prettier --check path/to/file`
|
||||||
|
3. Review Prettier config: `prettier.config.mjs`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Test Failures
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Problem**: Tests failing
|
||||||
|
|

|
2. Check Node version: `node --version`
|
||||||
|
3. Review build configuration
|
||||||
|
4. Check for dependency conflicts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Installation Test Fails
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Problem**: Test installation doesn't work

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Solutions**:
|
||||||
|
1. Check CLI tool code in `tools/cli/`
|
||||||
|
2. Verify bundler output
|
||||||
|
3. Test with verbose logging
|
||||||
|
4. Check file permissions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Run before committing**: Always run tests before git commit
|
||||||
|
2. **Fix immediately**: Don't accumulate test failures
|
||||||
|
3. **Clean state**: Test with clean working directory
|
||||||
|
4. **Document**: Note any skipped tests or known issues
|
||||||
|
5. **Automate**: Use pre-commit hooks and CI/CD
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Detailed Update Process
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### For context.md
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Read current file**: `read_file(".kilocode/rules/memory-bank/context.md")`
|
||||||
|
2. **Update sections**:
|
||||||
|
- Move "Current Work Areas" to "Recent Major Changes" if complete
|
||||||
|
- Add new current work to "Current Work Areas"
|
||||||
|
- Update "Known Constraints" if relevant
|
||||||
|
- Update "Next Priorities"
|
||||||
|
3. **Add timestamp**: Include date for time context
|
||||||
|
4. **Save changes**: Use `edit()` tool
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### For architecture.md
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Review architecture changes**: Check code structure
|
||||||
|
2. **Update diagrams**: If visual representations changed
|
||||||
|
3. **Document decisions**: Add new ADRs (Architecture Decision Records)
|
||||||
|
4. **Update integration points**: If APIs or interfaces changed
|
||||||
|
5. **Revise data flow**: If data handling changed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### For tech.md
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Check package.json**: For dependency changes
|
||||||
|
2. **Review build config**: For tooling changes
|
||||||
|
3. **Update versions**: Document version upgrades
|
||||||
|
4. **Add new tools**: Document new development tools
|
||||||
|
5. **Update setup**: If setup process changed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Automation Opportunities
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consider automating updates for:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Git hooks**: Prompt for Memory Bank update after major commits
|
||||||
|
- **CI/CD**: Generate change summaries automatically
|
||||||
|
- **Version tags**: Update Memory Bank as part of release process
|
||||||
|
- **Weekly reminder**: Calendar reminder to review Memory Bank
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Update frequently**: Don't let it get stale
|
||||||
|
2. **Be concise**: Focus on what's important for AI context
|
||||||
|
3. **Stay current**: Remove outdated information
|
||||||
|
4. **Be specific**: Vague descriptions don't help
|
||||||
|
5. **Think ahead**: What will future you or AI need to know?
|
||||||
|
6. **Version awareness**: Note which version/branch info applies to
|
||||||
|
7. **Consistency**: Use similar formatting across files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Too much detail**: Memory Bank is context, not full documentation
|
||||||
|
2. **Outdated info**: Leaving old information creates confusion
|
||||||
|
3. **Inconsistency**: Contradictions between files
|
||||||
|
4. **No dates**: Hard to know when something changed
|
||||||
|
5. **Missing rationale**: Document why, not just what
|
||||||
|
6. **Forgetting context.md**: Most frequently needs updates
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
