BMAD Integration Points

This document outlines the key integration points within the BMAD system and how different components interact.

Overview

BMAD operates through multiple integration points that enable seamless collaboration between personas, tools, and processes. Understanding these integration points is crucial for effective system utilization.

System Integration Architecture

```mermaid graph TB subgraph "External Systems" IDE[IDE Environment] WEB[Web Interface] API[External APIs] end

subgraph "BMAD Core"
    ORCH[Orchestrator]
    PERSONAS[Persona System]
    TASKS[Task Engine]
    TEMPLATES[Template System]
end

subgraph "Data Layer"
    KB[Knowledge Base]
    CHECKLISTS[Checklists]
    CONFIGS[Configurations]
end

IDE --> ORCH
WEB --> ORCH

ORCH --> PERSONAS
ORCH --> TASKS
ORCH --> TEMPLATES

PERSONAS --> KB
TASKS --> CHECKLISTS
TEMPLATES --> CONFIGS

```

Core Integration Points

1. IDE Integration

Purpose: Enable BMAD methodology within development environments

Integration Methods:

  • Loading persona documentation into AI assistant context
  • Referencing task libraries and templates
  • Following methodology patterns and checklists
  • Structuring prompts according to BMAD principles

Key Features:

  • Persona-based prompt structuring
  • Template-guided document creation
  • Quality checklist validation
  • Methodology-driven workflows

2. Web Interface Integration

Purpose: Provide browser-based access to BMAD functionality

Integration Methods:

  • REST API endpoints
  • WebSocket connections
  • OAuth authentication
  • Session management

Key Features:

  • Persona management dashboard
  • Project collaboration tools
  • Real-time status updates
  • Document generation and sharing

3. Template System Integration

Purpose: Enable consistent document and code generation

Integration Flow: ```mermaid sequenceDiagram participant User participant Orchestrator participant Template Engine participant Output System

User->>Orchestrator: Request Document Creation
Orchestrator->>Template Engine: Load Template
Template Engine->>Template Engine: Process Variables
Template Engine->>Output System: Generate Content
Output System->>User: Deliver Document

```

4. Checklist Integration

Purpose: Ensure quality and completeness of deliverables

Integration Points:

  • Task execution validation
  • Quality gate enforcement
  • Progress tracking
  • Compliance verification

5. Knowledge Base Integration

Purpose: Provide contextual information and best practices

Integration Methods:

  • Semantic search capabilities
  • Context-aware recommendations
  • Dynamic content updates
  • Version control integration

Persona Integration Patterns

1. Sequential Integration

Personas work in sequence, with clear handoff points:

```mermaid graph LR PO[Product Owner] --> PM[Project Manager] PM --> ARCH[Architect] ARCH --> UX[UX/UI Designer] UX --> DEV[Developer] ```

2. Parallel Integration

Multiple personas work simultaneously on different aspects:

```mermaid graph TD REQ[Requirements] --> PO[Product Owner] REQ --> PM[Project Manager] REQ --> ARCH[Architect]

PO --> INTEGRATION[Integration Point]
PM --> INTEGRATION
ARCH --> INTEGRATION

```

3. Collaborative Integration

Personas collaborate in real-time on shared deliverables:

```mermaid graph TB subgraph "Collaborative Space" DOC[Shared Document] PO[PO Input] ARCH[Architect Input] UX[UX Input] end

PO --> DOC
ARCH --> DOC
UX --> DOC

```

Data Integration Points

1. Configuration Management

Purpose: Maintain consistent system behavior across environments

Components:

  • Environment-specific settings
  • Persona configurations
  • Template parameters
  • Integration credentials

2. State Management

Purpose: Track system state and user progress

Components:

  • Session state
  • Project progress
  • Task completion status
  • User preferences

3. Content Synchronization

Purpose: Ensure data consistency across integration points

Methods:

  • Real-time synchronization
  • Batch updates
  • Conflict resolution
  • Version control
