Re-applies PR #2282's three-layer customization model (skill defaults → team → user) but swaps YAML for TOML and uv for stdlib tomllib. Users no longer need uv, pip, or a virtualenv — plain python3 (3.11+) is sufficient, since tomllib shipped in the standard library. ## Schema changes vs PR #2282 - Flat agent schema: fields live directly under [agent], no nested metadata/persona sub-tables. Easier to author, less indentation. - Non-configurable identity: name and title are declared in customize.toml as source-of-truth metadata (for future skill-manifest generation) but SKILL.md ignores overrides there — identity is hardcoded to preserve brand recognition. - role redefined: now describes what the skill does for the user within its module phase, not a restatement of the title. - persistent_facts replaces the activation-time file-context load AND the old memories concept. Entries can be literal sentences or file: prefixed paths/globs; avoids collision with the upcoming runtime memory sidecar. - activation_steps_prepend / activation_steps_append harmonized across agents and workflows (replaces agent-specific critical_actions). - [workflow] namespace mirrors [agent] for workflow customization. Same four structural rules, same field vocabulary. ## Resolver (src/scripts/resolve_customization.py) Four purely structural merge rules, zero field-name hardcoding: - Scalars: override wins - Tables: deep merge - Arrays of tables where every item has `code` or `id`: merge by that key (matching keys replace, new keys append) - Any other array: append No removal mechanism — overrides cannot delete base items. Fork the skill or override by code with a no-op value to suppress defaults. ## Agents ported (6) All six BMad agents now ship customize.toml + rewritten SKILL.md: analyst (Mary), tech-writer (Paige), pm (John), ux-designer (Sally), architect (Winston), dev (Amelia). Each uses the same 8-step activation template: resolve → execute prepend → adopt persona → load persistent facts → load config → greet (with {agent.icon}) → execute append → dispatch or present menu. Step 8 supports fast-path invocation: "hey Mary, let's brainstorm" dispatches the matching menu item directly after greeting, skipping the menu render when intent is clear. Chat, clarifying questions, and bmad-help remain available when nothing on the menu fits. ## Installer + tooling - _bmad/scripts/ provisioned on install (copies src/scripts/) - _bmad/custom/ seeded with .gitignore for *.user.toml on fresh install - Non-module-dir filter extended to skip _memory, memory, docs, scripts, and custom when scanning for modules - Dead _config/agents/ directory no longer created - metadata.capabilities removed from agent-manifest.csv and schema - eslint config extended to cover src/scripts/** - validate-file-refs.js knows about custom/ as install-only ## Deferred for follow-up - bmad-product-brief workflow port (the pilot that demonstrates [workflow] + on_complete) - Translated docs (cs/fr/vi-vn/zh-cn) — regenerate from English |

README.md
Build More Architect Dreams — An AI-driven agile development module for the BMad Method Module Ecosystem, the best and most comprehensive Agile AI Driven Development framework that has true scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.
100% free and open source. No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay for a gated community or courses.
Why the BMad Method?
Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents and facilitated workflows act as expert collaborators who guide you through a structured process to bring out your best thinking in partnership with the AI.
- AI Intelligent Help — Invoke the
bmad-helpskill anytime for guidance on what's next - Scale-Domain-Adaptive — Automatically adjusts planning depth based on project complexity
- Structured Workflows — Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
- Specialized Agents — 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, and more)
- Party Mode — Bring multiple agent personas into one session to collaborate and discuss
- Complete Lifecycle — From brainstorming to deployment

🚀 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) |
| Creative Intelligence Suite (CIS) | Innovation, brainstorming, design thinking |
