**Build More, Architect Dreams** — An AI-driven agile development framework with 21 specialized agents, 50+ guided workflows, and scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.
|
|
|
|
**100% free and open source.** No paywalls. No gated content. We believe knowledge should be shared, not sold.
|
|
|
|
## Why BMad?
|
|
|
|
Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents act as expert collaborators who guide you through structured workflows to bring out your best thinking.
|
|
|
|
- **Scale-Adaptive**: Automatically adjusts planning depth based on project complexity (Level 0-4)
|
|
- **Structured Workflows**: Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
|
|
- **Specialized Agents**: 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, Scrum Master, and more)
|
|
- **Complete Lifecycle**: From brainstorming to deployment, with just-in-time documentation
|
|
|
|
