# Monorepo / Multi-Project Setup
BMAD supports running multiple independent projects within a single installation. This is useful for monorepos, multi-app repositories, or any workspace where you want isolated artifact directories per project.
## How It Works
A `.current_project` file in your `_bmad/` directory stores the active project name. When set, all artifact output paths are redirected to project-specific subdirectories.
## Quick Start
1. List existing projects by invoking `skill:bmad-project-list`
2. Create a new project by invoking `skill:bmad-project-new` with a project name
3. Switch to an existing project by invoking `skill:bmad-project-switch` with a project name
4. Clear project context by invoking `skill:bmad-project-switch` and entering `CLEAR`
## Directory Structure
When a project context is active, for example `my-app`:
- `_bmad-output/my-app/planning-artifacts/` for PRDs, briefs, UX designs
- `_bmad-output/my-app/implementation-artifacts/` for sprint plans and stories
- `_bmad-output/my-app/knowledge/` for long-term project knowledge
## Inline Overrides
Temporarily target a different project without changing the global context:
- `#project:my-app`
- `#p:my-app`
**Precedence:**
1. Inline override (`#p:NAME`) — highest priority
2. Global context file (`.current_project`)
3. Default config paths
## Security
- Path traversal (`..`) is rejected
- Absolute paths are rejected
- Only alphanumeric characters, dots, dashes, underscores, and forward slashes are allowed
