How to Install BMad in Claude Cowork Install BMad in Claude Cowork using the Customize menu.
order
11

Claude.ai web and the Claude desktop chat have no access to your project files, so npx bmad-method install can't reach them. Claude Cowork is different — it runs your project in a sandboxed VM and supports a plugin marketplace. BMad ships a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json at the repo root that Cowork can consume directly.

Install

In the Cowork desktop app, open Customize → Browse plugins → Add marketplace and enter:

bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD

Cowork pulls the marketplace, surfaces two plugins to install:

  • bmad-pro-skills — brainstorming, editorial review, party mode, document sharding, and more
  • bmad-method-lifecycle — full agile lifecycle: analyst, PM, architect, dev, sprint planning, code review, …

Accept both, restart the session, and /bmad-pro-skills:* and /bmad-method-lifecycle:* slash commands appear.

Update

Re-open Customize, find the marketplace, and sync/refresh it. Cowork pulls the latest committed tree.

Pairing With TEA

To install the Test Architect module alongside BMad, add its marketplace the same way:

bmad-code-org/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise

Known issue

Cowork's personal plugin install has a known persistence bug — plugins may disappear after an app restart. The org-level install (Organisation settings → Plugins → Add plugin) is more reliable for teams.
