🏆 Best Practices

1. Start with Guided Autonomy

Begin with guided or collaborative autonomy levels and gradually increase as you become comfortable with the system's capabilities.

2. Configure Appropriate Constraints

Always set appropriate constraints and safety checks, especially for higher autonomy levels:

bmad constraints set --code-style "team-standards.yaml" \
  --security-policies "security.yaml" \
  --prohibited-actions "no-production-changes"

3. Enable Continuous Learning

Allow the system to learn from your development patterns:

bmad learn --from-history --personalize --improve-suggestions

4. Use Multi-LLM Strategies

Leverage different LLMs for their strengths:

bmad orchestrate --use-claude-for "complex-reasoning,architecture" \
  --use-gpt4-for "code-generation,documentation" \
  --use-gemini-for "data-analysis,optimization"

5. Monitor System Performance

Regularly monitor system performance and optimization:

bmad monitor --system-health --optimization-opportunities --weekly-report

6. Implement Progressive Automation

Start with semi-automated workflows and progress to full automation:

# Phase 1: Assisted automation
bmad automate --level assisted --require-confirmation

# Phase 2: Supervised automation
