* bmad-architecture: breadth coverage + lean directives; reviewer reports to subfolder
- Inline forward-readiness (inherit upstream silently; thin input -> suggest bmad-spec or hybrid-capture) and brownfield (ratify, don't re-tell) directives in place of a standalone spine-checklist
- Use {workflow.persistent_facts} instead of hardcoded project-context.md
- Reviewer gate writes per-reviewer reports to reviews/ subfolder so the deliverable folder stays clean
- Require breadth coverage at distill and in the gate rubric: every altitude-owned dimension decided/deferred/open, flagging the operational/environmental envelope a domain-focused draft skips
- Trim repeated directives and human-facing justification prose
* Redesign spine template and move stack pinning to a body table
Rework spine-template.md so it stops forcing fixed structure: guidance
moves into single-line HTML comments (stripped at distill), the always-two
diagrams and empty-mermaid render bugs are gone, and the structural-seed
framing opens up so the operational/environmental envelope isn't skipped.
Stack moves from nested frontmatter into a ## Stack | Name | Version | table.
lint_spine.py drops the frontmatter dep check for find_unpinned_stack, which
parses the Stack table and flags real-name/blank-version rows while skipping
{token} skeletons. Tests reworked to match; 24 passing.
SKILL.md Finalize tightened to act-then-strip template comments and sweep
altitude-owned breadth.
* Harden find_unpinned_stack: blank fences, locate columns, looser heading
Address PR review (CodeRabbit + Augment): find_unpinned_stack scanned raw
body, so pipe-rows or ## headings inside a fenced block could be misread as
live Stack content and misreport version_pin. Now blanks fences first, like
find_placeholders and find_ad_issues, honoring the linter's fences-are-non-live
contract.
Also locate both Name and Version columns from the header (a reordered table
now pairs name to version correctly) and match the heading on a word boundary
(## Stack & Versions still counts). Add regression tests for fenced rows,
fenced headings, renamed heading, and reordered columns (28 passing).
Reword stale 'unpinned deps' / 'unpinned dependency versions' to 'unpinned
Stack versions' to match the body-table model.

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 v20.12+ · 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
Override any module config option with --set <module>.<key>=<value> (repeatable). Run --list-options [module] to see locally-known official keys (built-in modules plus any external officials cached on this machine):
npx bmad-method install --yes \
--modules bmm --tools claude-code \
--set bmm.project_knowledge=research \
--set bmm.user_skill_level=expert
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 |
Web Bundles
V4 shipped web bundles. V6 brings them back, new and improved.
Web bundles package selected BMad skills for installation as Google Gemini Gems and ChatGPT Custom GPTs. Use them to do the upfront planning work (brainstorming, product briefs, PRDs, PRFAQs, UX specs, market and industry research) in your web LLM subscription, then bring the polished artifacts into your IDE for implementation. Planning runs on a flat-rate subscription instead of metered IDE tokens, which is a meaningful cost saver on longer engagements. Choose the best model available to you in Gemini or ChatGPT.
Current shelf: brainstorming, product brief, PRFAQ, PRD, UX, market & industry research.
Browse and install at bmadcode.com/web-bundles. One card per bundle, inline install steps for Gemini and ChatGPT, one-click ZIP download. See the web bundles guide for the concept.
