Expanded Documentation
If you got here and did not set up the web agent yet already - highlight suggest doing that and talking to the web agent, much easier than reading these yawn inducing docs.
IDE Project Quickstart
After you clone the project to your local machine, you can copy the bmad-agent folder to your project root. This will put the templates, checklists, and other assets the local agents will need to use the agents from your IDE instead of the Web Agent. Minimally to build your project you will want the sm.ide.md and dev.ide.md so you can draft and build your project incrementally.
Here are the more Setup and Usage Instructions for IDE, WEB and Task setup.
Starting with the latest version of the BMad Agents for the BMad Method is very easy - all you need to do is copy bmad-agent folder to your project. The dedicated dev and sm that existing in previous versions are still available and are in the bmad-agent/personas folder with the .ide.md extension. Copy and paste the contents into your specific IDE's method of configuring a custom agent mode. The dev and sm both are configured for architecture and prd artifacts to be in (project-root)/docs and stories will be generated and developed in/from your (project-root)/docs/stories.
For all other agent use (including the dev and sm) you can set up the ide orchestrator - you can ask the orchestrator bmad to become any agent you have configured.
General IDE Custom Mode Setup.
Advancing AI-Driven Development
Welcome to the latest and most advanced yet easy to use version of the Web and IDE Agent Agile Workflow! This new version, called BMad Agent version V3, represents a significant evolution that builds upon previous versions.
What's New?
All IDE Agents are now optimized to be under 6K characters, so they will work with windsurf's file limit restrictions.
The method now has an uber Orchestrator called BMAD - this agent will take your web or ide usage to the next level - this agent can morph and become the specific agent you want to work with! This makes Web usage super easy to use and set up. And in the IDE - you do not have to set up so many different agents if you do not want to!
There have been drastic improvements to the generation of documents and artifacts and the agents are now programmed to really help you build the best possible plans. Advanced LLM prompting techniques have been incorporated and programmed to help you help the agents produce amazing accurate artifacts, unlike anything seen before. Additionally agents are now configurable in what they can and cannot do - so you can accept the defaults, or set which personas are able to do what tasks. If you think the PO should be the one generating PRDs and the Scrum Master should be your course corrector - its all possible now! Define agile the BMad way - or your way!
While this is very powerful - you can get started with the default recommended set up as is in this repo, and basically use the agents as they are envisioned and will be explained. Detailed configuration and usage is outlined in the Instructions
What is the BMad Method?
The BMad Method is a revolutionary approach that elevates "vibe coding" to advanced project planning to ensure your developer agents can start and completed advanced projects with very explicit guidance. It provides a structured yet flexible framework to plan, execute, and manage software projects using a team of specialized AI agents.
This method and tooling is so much more than just a task runner - this is a refined tool that will help you bring out your best ideas, define what you really are to build, and execute on it! From ideation, to PRD creation, to the technical decision making - this will help you do it all with the power of advanced LLM guidance.
The method is designed to be tool-agnostic in principle, with agent instructions and workflows adaptable to various AI platforms and IDEs.
Agile Agents
Agents are programmed either directly self contained to drop right into an agent config in the ide - or they can be configured as programmable entities the orchestrating agent can become.
Web Agents
Gemini 2.5 or Open AI customGPTs are created by running the node build script to generate output to a build folder. This output is the full package to create the orchestrator web agent.
See the detailed Web Orchestration Setup and Usage Instructions
IDE Agents
There are dedicated self contained agents that are stand alone, and also an IDE version of an orchestrator. For there standalone, there are:
If you want to use the other agents, you can use the other agents from that folder - but some will be larger than Windsurf allows - and there are many agents. So its recommended to either use 1 off tasks - OR even better - use the IDE Orchestrator Agent. See these set up and Usage instructions for IDE Orchestrator.
Tasks
Located in bmad-agent/tasks/, these self-contained instruction sets allow IDE agents or the orchestrators configured agents to perform specific jobs. These also can be used as one off commands with a vanilla agent in the ide by just referencing the task and asking the agent to perform it.
Purpose:
- Reduce Agent Bloat: Avoid adding rarely used instructions to primary agents.
- On-Demand Functionality: Instruct any capable IDE agent to execute a task by providing the task file content.
- Versatility: Handles specific functions like running checklists, creating stories, sharding documents, indexing libraries, etc.
Think of tasks as specialized mini-agents callable by your main IDE agents.
