📚 Core Documentation
Terms
Essential terminology and concepts for understanding BMAD workflows.
Architecture & Execution Model
The micro-file architecture, JIT step loading, state management, and collaboration patterns that make BMAD workflows optimal for AI execution.
Writing Workflows
Complete guide to creating workflows: workflow.md control files, step files, CSV data integration, and frontmatter design.
Step Files & Dialog Patterns
Crafting effective step files: structure, execution rules, prescriptive vs intent-based dialog, and validation patterns.
Templates & Content Generation

🚀 Quick Start
BMAD workflows are pure markdown, self-contained systems that guide collaborative processes through structured step files where the AI acts as a facilitator working with humans.
This documentation covers the next generation of BMAD workflows - designed from the ground up for optimal AI-human collaboration.
