The BMAD-Method V4 (Breakthrough Method of AgileAI Driven Development)

🚀 Quick Start (No Installation Required!)

Option 1: Use Pre-built Web Bundles (Easiest)

No Node.js needed! Just download and use:

1. Go to the /web-bundles/ folder in this repo
2. Download a bundle file:
   • Team bundles in /web-bundles/teams/ - Full agile teams with all roles
   • Individual agents in /web-bundles/agents/ - Single role agents
3. Upload to your AI platform:
   • Gemini: Create a new Gem → Upload the bundle file → Start using!
   • ChatGPT: Create a custom GPT → Attach as knowledge → Start using!

That's it! You're ready to use BMAD agents. 🎉

Option 2: IDE Agents (Also No Installation)

For Cursor, Windsurf, or other IDEs:

1. Copy the bmad-core/ folder to your project root
2. Use agents from bmad-core/ide-agents/
3. Set up slash commands (see examples in .cursor/ or .claude/commands/)

What is BMAD?

BMAD is a framework that gives you a complete Agile development team powered by AI. Each agent specializes in a specific role:

• 🧠 Business Analyst - Requirements gathering and project briefs
• 📋 Product Manager - PRDs and product planning
• 👁️ UX Expert - User experience design and UI specifications
• 🏗️ Architect - System design and technical architecture
• 🔄 Fullstack Architect - Holistic full-stack system design
• 🎨 Design Architect - UI/UX and frontend architecture
• ✅ Product Owner - Story validation and backlog management
• 📝 Scrum Master - Story generation and sprint planning
• 💻 Developer - Code implementation
• 🧪 QA Engineer - Testing and quality assurance

The BMAD Orchestrator can transform into any role using slash commands!

🛠️ Advanced: Build Custom Bundles

Only needed if you want to customize agents:

1. Clone this repository
2. Install Node.js and run npm install
3. Modify agents in /agents/ folder
4. Run npm run build
5. Find your custom bundles in /dist/

Configuring Custom Agents

• Edit YAML files in /agents/ to customize behavior
• Create new team combinations in /agent-teams/ directory
• All configuration is now YAML-based for easy editing

IDE Slash Commands

For Cursor, Windsurf, VSCode, and Claude Code: Check the .cursor/ or .claude/commands/ folders for example slash command setups. These let you quickly switch between agents in your IDE!
