The bmad-module skill staged community modules under _bmad/<code>/ but never pushed their skills out to the coding assistants the user selected at `bmad install` time, so a freshly installed module was invisible to Claude Code / Cursor / Copilot / etc. until a full reinstall; remove left skills orphaned in the IDE dirs. install/update/remove now distribute (or prune) skills to every IDE listed in _bmad/_config/manifest.yaml and clean the redundant skill dirs from _bmad/, matching how official modules end up. Single engine, three callers — no fork: - New tools/installer/core/ide-sync.js (syncIdes) wraps the real IdeManager.setupBatch + platform-codes engine. The full installer (_setupIdes/_cleanupSkillDirs), the new `bmad ide-sync` command, and the skill all route through it, so new IDEs and engine changes propagate everywhere automatically. Local, dependency-free delivery — no npx/network at runtime: - build-ide-sync.mjs esbuild-bundles the engine into vendor/ide-sync.mjs (+ platform-codes.yaml), aliasing ../prompts and ../project-root to small shims so @clack and the installer graph are dropped. The bundle ships inside the skill tree (like yaml.mjs); the skill execs it locally. It's generated-from-source and gated by vendor:check, refreshed on every install. update/remove pass --prune with the module's canonicalIds so skills dropped between versions (or on uninstall) are removed from IDE dirs + command pointers. Graceful degradation: if the bundle is unreachable, the verb still succeeds and points the user at `bmad ide-sync`. Tests: new test/test-ide-sync.js drift-guard (engine == bundle, incl. prune), integration.test.sh IDE-distribution section (offline), bundle self-check in the build. All gates green (vendor:check, lint, format, test:install 349/349). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Build More Architect Dreams — An AI-driven agile development module for the BMad Method Module Ecosystem, the best and most comprehensive Agile AI Driven Development framework that has true scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.
100% free and open source. No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay for a gated community or courses.
Why the BMad Method?
Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents and facilitated workflows act as expert collaborators who guide you through a structured process to bring out your best thinking in partnership with the AI.
- AI Intelligent Help — Invoke the
bmad-helpskill anytime for guidance on what's next - Scale-Domain-Adaptive — Automatically adjusts planning depth based on project complexity
- Structured Workflows — Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
- Specialized Agents — 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, and more)
- Party Mode — Bring multiple agent personas into one session to collaborate and discuss
- Complete Lifecycle — From brainstorming to deployment

🚀 What's Next for BMad?
V6 is here and we're just getting started! The BMad Method is evolving rapidly with optimizations including Cross Platform Agent Team and Sub Agent inclusion, Skills Architecture, BMad Builder v1, Dev Loop Automation, and so much more in the works.
📍 Check out the complete Roadmap →
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Node.js v20.12+ · Python 3.10+ · uv
npx bmad-method install
Want the newest prerelease build? Use
npx bmad-method@next install. Expect higher churn than the default install.
Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) in your project folder.
Non-Interactive Installation (for CI/CD):
npx bmad-method install --directory /path/to/project --modules bmm --tools claude-code --yes
Override any module config option with --set <module>.<key>=<value> (repeatable). Run --list-options [module] to see locally-known official keys (built-in modules plus any external officials cached on this machine):
npx bmad-method install --yes \
--modules bmm --tools claude-code \
--set bmm.project_knowledge=research \
--set bmm.user_skill_level=expert
Not sure what to do? Ask
bmad-help— it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask questions likebmad-help I just finished the architecture, what do I do next?
Modules
BMad Method extends with official modules for specialized domains. Available during installation or anytime after.
| Module | Purpose |
|---|---|
| BMad Method (BMM) | Core framework with 34+ workflows |
| BMad Builder (BMB) | Create custom BMad agents and workflows |
| Test Architect (TEA) | Risk-based test strategy and automation |
| Game Dev Studio (BMGD) | Game development workflows (Unity, Unreal, Godot) |
| Creative Intelligence Suite (CIS) | Innovation, brainstorming, design thinking |
Web Bundles
V4 shipped web bundles. V6 brings them back, new and improved.
Web bundles package selected BMad skills for installation as Google Gemini Gems and ChatGPT Custom GPTs. Use them to do the upfront planning work (brainstorming, product briefs, PRDs, PRFAQs, UX specs, market and industry research) in your web LLM subscription, then bring the polished artifacts into your IDE for implementation. Planning runs on a flat-rate subscription instead of metered IDE tokens, which is a meaningful cost saver on longer engagements. Choose the best model available to you in Gemini or ChatGPT.
Current shelf: brainstorming, product brief, PRFAQ, PRD, UX, market & industry research.
Browse and install at bmadcode.com/web-bundles. One card per bundle, inline install steps for Gemini and ChatGPT, one-click ZIP download. See the web bundles guide for the concept.
