# Welcome to BMAD
|
|
|
|
BMAD (**B**uild **M**ore, **A**rchitect **D**reams) is an AI-driven development framework that helps you build software faster and smarter. It provides specialized AI agents, guided workflows, and intelligent planning that adapts to your project's complexity—whether you're fixing a bug or building an enterprise platform.
|
|
|
|
If you're comfortable working with AI coding assistants like Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot, you're ready to get started.

## What You'll Need
|
|
|
|
BMAD works with any AI coding assistant that supports custom system prompts or project context. Popular options include:
|
|
|
|
- **[Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code)** — Anthropic's CLI tool (recommended)
|
|
- **[Cursor](https://cursor.sh)** — AI-first code editor
|
|
- **[Windsurf](https://codeium.com/windsurf)** — Codeium's AI IDE
|
|
- **[Roo Code](https://roocode.com)** — VS Code extension
|
|
|
|
You should be comfortable with basic software development concepts like version control, project structure, and agile workflows. No prior experience with BMAD-style agent systems is required—that's what these docs are for.
