📖 Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Read the Documentation (5-10 minutes)

Start with one of these based on your needs:

  • Quick start? → QUICKSTART.md
  • Complete overview? → README.md
  • Find specific info? → INDEX.md
  • Executive summary? → SUMMARY.md

Step 2: Explore the Agents (30-60 minutes)

Review the agent that matches your immediate need:

  • Planning a project? → agents/js-solution-architect.md
  • Building UI? → agents/react-developer.md
  • Creating APIs? → agents/node-backend-developer.md
  • Designing endpoints? → agents/api-developer.md
  • TypeScript issues? → agents/typescript-expert.md

Step 3: Try It Out (1-2 hours)

Pick a small project and:

  1. Use the JS Solution Architect to design it
  2. Use the PRD template to document it
  3. Use the Story template to break it down
  4. Implement with React and Node developers

Step 4: Build Something Real (1-2 days)

Follow the complete workflow in QUICKSTART.md to build a real application.

💡 Pro Tips

Getting the Most Value

  1. Don't read everything at once

    • Start with QUICKSTART.md
    • Deep dive into agents as you need them

  2. Use the right agent for the job

    • Architecture decisions → Solution Architect
    • Frontend code → React Developer
    • Backend code → Node Backend Developer
    • API design → API Developer
    • Type problems → TypeScript Expert

  3. Follow the templates

    • Use PRD template for requirements
    • Use Story template for tasks
    • They ensure you don't miss important details

  4. Iterate and refine

    • Start with high-level architecture
    • Break down into stories
    • Implement incrementally
    • Refine based on feedback

  5. Keep conversations focused

    • One topic per agent conversation
    • Provide context upfront
    • Reference previous decisions when needed

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Skipping architecture planning → Always start with Solution Architect ❌ Using wrong agent → Check agent specializations first ❌ Not providing context → Share project details and constraints ❌ Ignoring templates → They capture best practices ❌ Reading everything → Start with quick start, dive deeper as needed

🔧 Customization

Modifying Agents

Each agent file can be customized:

  1. Open the agent .md file
  2. Modify the expertise, examples, or patterns
  3. Save and reload in BMAD
  4. Test with your use cases

Creating New Templates

Use existing templates as starting points:

  1. Copy a template file
  2. Modify sections for your needs
  3. Save in templates/ directory
  4. Reference in your workflow

Adding New Agents

Follow the pattern in existing agents:

  1. Create new .md file in agents/
  2. Include YAML frontmatter with agent config
  3. Document expertise and patterns
  4. Add to package.json manifest
