# Quick Start: Using Enhanced BMAD System with Claude Code

## 🚀 5-Minute Setup with Claude Code

This guide helps you immediately start using the Enhanced BMAD System within your Claude Code sessions.

## Step 1: Initialize in Claude Code

When starting a new Claude Code session, simply reference the BMAD system:

```
I want to use the Enhanced BMAD System for autonomous development assistance.
Please load the BMAD configuration and set autonomy level to collaborative.
```

## Step 2: Configure Your Development Mode

Tell Claude Code how you want to work:

### For Guided Development:
```
Configure BMAD for guided development. I want:
- Code suggestions and improvements
- Architecture recommendations  
- Best practice enforcement
- Safety checks on all changes
```

### For Autonomous Features:
```
Configure BMAD for supervised autonomous development:
- Implement routine features autonomously
- Require approval for critical changes
- Auto-generate tests and documentation
- Optimize code performance automatically
```

## Step 3: Common BMAD Commands in Claude Code

### Start a New Project
```
Using BMAD autonomous development:
- Create a new React/Node.js application
- Design the architecture based on these requirements: [your requirements]
- Implement the initial structure with best practices
- Set up testing and CI/CD
```

### Analyze and Improve Existing Code
```
Using BMAD code intelligence:
- Analyze this codebase for issues and improvements
- Identify technical debt and modernization opportunities
- Create a prioritized improvement plan
- Start implementing the top priority improvements
```

### Enable Self-Learning
```
Configure BMAD to learn from this session:
- Learn my coding style and preferences
- Adapt suggestions based on my feedback
- Improve automation based on successful patterns
- Remember project-specific decisions
```

### Multi-LLM Orchestration
```
Configure BMAD multi-LLM orchestration:
- Use Claude for complex reasoning and architecture
- Switch to GPT-4 for rapid code generation
- Leverage specialized models for specific tasks
- Optimize for best quality/speed balance
```

### Essential Commands
```bash
bmad init                    # Initialize BMAD
bmad develop --autonomous    # Start autonomous development
bmad analyze --deep         # Deep code analysis
bmad optimize --all         # Optimize everything
bmad learn --adaptive       # Enable learning
bmad monitor --real-time    # Monitor performance
```

## 🎯 Example Workflows

### Workflow 1: Building a Feature
```
Using BMAD autonomous development:
1. Analyze the user story: "Add user authentication"
2. Design the implementation approach
3. Generate the code with tests
4. Review and optimize the implementation
5. Ensure security best practices
6. Deploy with monitoring
```

### Workflow 2: Code Review and Optimization
```
Using BMAD code intelligence:
1. Analyze pull request #123
2. Identify potential issues and improvements
3. Check security vulnerabilities
4. Verify compliance with coding standards
5. Suggest optimizations
6. Auto-fix simple issues
```

### Workflow 3: Learning from Patterns
```
Configure BMAD learning:
1. Analyze my last 10 commits
2. Learn my coding patterns and preferences
3. Adapt future suggestions accordingly
4. Identify areas where I could improve
5. Create personalized best practices
```

## 💡 Pro Tips

1. **Start Small**: Begin with guided mode and increase autonomy gradually
2. **Set Clear Constraints**: Define what BMAD can and cannot do autonomously
3. **Review Learning**: Periodically review what BMAD has learned
4. **Use Multi-LLM**: Leverage different models for their strengths
5. **Monitor Performance**: Keep track of improvements and optimizations

## 🚨 Safety and Best Practices

Always configure safety constraints:
```
Configure BMAD safety:
- No direct production changes
- Require approval for database modifications
- Enforce security scanning on all code
- Maintain audit trail of all actions
- Enable rollback capabilities
```

## 🎉 You're Ready!

You can now use the Enhanced BMAD System in your Claude Code sessions. Start with simple commands and gradually explore more advanced features as you become comfortable.

Remember: BMAD is designed to enhance, not replace, your development skills. Use it as a powerful ally in creating better software faster!
