Brian Madison e966110e71 bmad-brainstorming: fix code-review findings
memlog.py
- Parse frontmatter by the first line that is exactly `---`, so a `---` inside a
  topic/goal value no longer truncates the block, drops `status`, and breaks resume
  forever. Neutralize newlines in field values on render too.

brain.py (selector page + CLI)
- Composer: category toggles now define session scope; the text filter is a pure
  browse aid. checked() and the random pool both key off scope (offCats), so hidden
  cards are never silently copied and a stray filter term can't starve a random draw.
- Clipboard: only show the "Copied!" banner when the copy actually succeeds; on
  failure show a warning and a prefilled prompt() so the text is never lost.
- category_style: fall back to the neutral glyph instead of KeyError if the hue/glyph
  dicts ever desync.
- random: clamp -n so a negative/oversized value returns cleanly instead of crashing.
- --extra: merge a JSON overlay of additional_techniques into every command, so the
  browse page and category draws include custom techniques/categories as advertised.

docs
- SKILL.md: fix dangling `## Choosing Your Mode` anchor and the "Copy selection"
  button label; document --extra in the regen instructions.
- mode-autonomous.md: persist the mode flip when handing off from autonomous, so a
  resume restores the new stance.
- finalize.md: grammar/typo fixes (CodeRabbit).

tests
- Regression tests for the memlog `---` fix, --extra merge, negative -n, and the
  category fallback; regenerated the snapshot-tested selection page. Renamed the
  shadowing `type`/`l` locals flagged by CodeRabbit. 52 passing.

BMad Method

Version License: MIT Node.js Version Python Version uv Discord

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-help skill 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

See all installation options

Not sure what to do? Ask bmad-help — it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask questions like bmad-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.
