🎯 What is NEXT-METHOD?

NEXT-METHOD transforms BMAD-METHOD from a manual command-selection tool into an intelligent, guided development assistant. Instead of manually choosing which tasks or commands to run, you simply type next repeatedly, and the system intelligently suggests and executes the next appropriate step.

Key Benefits

Reduced Cognitive Load - No need to remember what to do next
Guided Development - System suggests logical next steps
Context Awareness - Remembers progress and adapts suggestions
Faster Workflow - Less time deciding, more time doing
Full BMAD Access - All existing features preserved

🔄 The "Next" Workflow

# Start the process
next

# Continue with next suggestion
next

# Keep going...
