├── agents/          # 12 specialized AI agents (PM, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA, etc.)
├── workflows/       # 34 workflows across 4 phases + testing
├── teams/           # Pre-configured agent groups
├── tasks/           # Atomic work units
├── testarch/        # Comprehensive testing infrastructure

Agent Roster

Core Development: PM, Analyst, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA, UX Designer, Technical Writer Game Development: Game Designer, Game Developer, Game Architect Orchestration: BMad Master (from Core)

👉 Full Agents Guide - Roles, workflows, and when to use each agent

Workflow Phases

Phase 0: Documentation (brownfield only) Phase 1: Analysis (optional) - 5 workflows Phase 2: Planning (required) - 6 workflows Phase 3: Solutioning (Level 3-4) - 2 workflows Phase 4: Implementation (iterative) - 10 workflows Testing: Quality assurance (parallel) - 9 workflows

👉 Workflow Guides - Detailed documentation for each phase


🚀 Getting Started

New Project:

# Install BMM
npx bmad-method@alpha install

# Load Analyst agent in your IDE, then:
*workflow-init

Existing Project (Brownfield):

# Document your codebase first
*document-project

# Then initialize
*workflow-init

👉 Quick Start Guide - Complete setup and first project walkthrough


🎯 Key Concepts

Scale-Adaptive Design

BMM automatically adjusts to project complexity (Levels 0-4):

  • Level 0-1: Quick Spec Flow for bug fixes and small features
  • Level 2: PRD with optional architecture
  • Level 3-4: Full PRD + comprehensive architecture

👉 Scale Adaptive System - Complete level breakdown

Story-Centric Implementation

Stories move through a defined lifecycle: backlog → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done

Just-in-time epic context and story context provide exact expertise when needed.

👉 Implementation Workflows - Complete story lifecycle guide

Multi-Agent Collaboration

Use party mode to engage all 19+ agents (from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) in group discussions for strategic decisions, creative brainstorming, and complex problem-solving.
