README.md

BMad Method

Version License: MIT Node.js Version Discord

Build More, Architect Dreams — An AI-driven agile development framework with 21 specialized agents, 50+ guided workflows, and 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.

Why BMad?

  • Complete Lifecycle: From brainstorming to deployment, with just-in-time documentation
