- ui.js: skip stable-channel upgrade classification when the user has already declared intent via --pin/--next=/--channel or the review gate. Prevents the decline / major-refused / fetch-error branches from silently overwriting an explicit pin with prev.version. - external-manager.js: short-circuit cloneExternalModule when the requested plan matches an existing in-process resolution and the cache is valid. Avoids redundant resolveChannel() + git fetch on every same-plan lookup in a single install. - installer.js: fall back to CommunityModuleManager.getResolution() when no external resolution exists, so community module result rows carry newChannel/newSha instead of null under --next/--pin. - installer.js: don't label a module as "no change" when its version string is 'main'/'HEAD' — the SHA may have moved and preVersions doesn't track the prior SHA. Show "(refreshed)" instead. - official-modules.js: match versionInfo.version to the manifest's cloneRef || (hasGitClone ? 'main' : version) expression so summary lines report the cloned ref for git-backed custom installs. - install-bmad.md: clarify that sha is only written for git-backed modules and that rerunning the same --modules on another machine does not reproduce stable-channel installs — convert recorded tags into explicit --pin flags for cross-machine reproducibility. |

🚀 What's Next for BMad?
V6 is here and we're just getting started! The BMad Method is evolving rapidly with optimizations including Cross Platform Agent Team and Sub Agent inclusion, Skills Architecture, BMad Builder v1, Dev Loop Automation, and so much more in the works.
📍 Check out the complete Roadmap →
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Node.js v20+ · Python 3.10+ · uv
npx bmad-method install
Want the newest prerelease build? Use
npx bmad-method@next install. Expect higher churn than the default install.
Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) in your project folder.
Non-Interactive Installation (for CI/CD):
npx bmad-method install --directory /path/to/project --modules bmm --tools claude-code --yes
Not sure what to do? Ask
bmad-help— it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask questions likebmad-help I just finished the architecture, what do I do next?
Modules
BMad Method extends with official modules for specialized domains. Available during installation or anytime after.
| Module | Purpose |
|---|---|
| BMad Method (BMM) | Core framework with 34+ workflows |
| BMad Builder (BMB) | Create custom BMad agents and workflows |
| Test Architect (TEA) | Risk-based test strategy and automation |
| Game Dev Studio (BMGD) | Game development workflows (Unity, Unreal, Godot) |
