project_name was a bmm-specific prompt despite being a universal
project-level concept used by every module — including core skills like
bmad-brainstorming, which loads from _bmad/core/config.yaml and was
silently broken because project_name lived under bmm. Users without bmm
installed could not run brainstorming at all.
Move:
- src/core-skills/module.yaml: declare project_name with prompt
"What is your project called?" and default {directory_name}, matching
what bmm previously had.
- src/bmm-skills/module.yaml: remove the bmm definition; add project_name
to the "Variables from Core Config inserted" header comment so
contributors can see what's inherited.
Migration for existing installs:
- tools/installer/modules/official-modules.js: after loadExistingConfig
reads each per-module config.yaml, hoist any keys that are now declared
in core but appear under non-core modules. Without this, the partition
logic in writeCentralConfig (which strips core keys from non-core
buckets) would silently drop the user's prior project_name on the next
quick-update. Generic — handles project_name today and any future
module→core promotions.
- The hoist preserves precedence: an existing core value beats a stale
module-side copy.
--yes seed:
- tools/installer/ui.js: add project_name to the hardcoded core seed
(using path.basename(directory) to match the {directory_name} default)
so non-interactive fresh installs populate it. Without this the seed
silently omits project_name and core skills fall back to literals.
Tests:
- test/test-installation-components.js Suite 43 (9 assertions) covers
the schema move, the loadExistingConfig hoist, and the precedence rule.
- Suite 35 fixture updated: project_name moved from bmm bucket to core,
with a stale bmm copy left in place to verify it gets stripped.
Verified manually:
- Fresh install -y: project_name lands in [core] of config.toml.
- Existing install with project_name in bmm/config.yaml: quick-update
hoists it to [core] and strips it from [modules.bmm].

README.md
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+ · 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
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 |
