# Build Module Workflow
## Overview
The Build Module workflow is an interactive scaffolding system that creates complete BMAD modules with agents, workflows, tasks, and installation infrastructure. It serves as the primary tool for building new modules in the BMAD ecosystem, guiding users through the entire module creation process from concept to deployment-ready structure.
## Key Features
- **Interactive Module Planning** - Collaborative session to define module concept, scope, and architecture
- **Intelligent Scaffolding** - Automatic creation of proper directory structures and configuration files
- **Component Integration** - Seamless integration with create-agent and create-workflow workflows
- **Installation Infrastructure** - Complete installer setup with configuration templates
- **Module Brief Integration** - Can use existing module briefs as blueprints for accelerated development
- **Validation and Documentation** - Built-in validation checks and comprehensive README generation
## Usage
### Basic Invocation
```bash
workflow create-module
```
### With Module Brief Input
```bash
# If you have a module brief from the module-brief workflow
workflow create-module --input module-brief-my-module-2024-09-26.md
```
### Configuration
The workflow loads critical variables from the BMB configuration:
- **output_folder**: Where the module will be created
- **user_name**: Module author information
- **date**: Automatic timestamp for versioning
## Workflow Structure
### Files Included
```
create-module/
├── workflow.yaml # Configuration and metadata
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step execution guide
├── checklist.md # Validation criteria
├── module-structure.md # Module architecture guide
├── installer-templates/ # Installation templates
│ ├── install-config.yaml
│ └── installer.js
└── README.md # This file
```
## Workflow Process
### Phase 1: Concept Definition (Steps 1-2)
**Module Vision and Identity**
- Define module concept, purpose, and target audience
- Establish module code (kebab-case) and friendly name
- Choose module category (Domain-Specific, Creative, Technical, Business, Personal)
- Plan component architecture with agent and workflow specifications
**Module Brief Integration**
- Automatically detects existing module briefs in output folder
- Can load and use briefs as pre-populated blueprints
- Accelerates planning when comprehensive brief exists
### Phase 2: Architecture Planning (Steps 3-4)
**Directory Structure Creation**
- Creates complete module directory hierarchy
- Sets up agent, workflow, task, template, and data folders
- Establishes installer directory with proper configuration
**Module Configuration**
- Generates main config.yaml with module metadata
- Configures component counts and references
- Sets up output and data folder specifications
### Phase 3: Component Creation (Steps 5-6)
**Interactive Component Building**
- Optional creation of first agent using create-agent workflow
- Optional creation of first workflow using create-workflow workflow
- Creates placeholders for components to be built later
**Workflow Integration**
- Seamlessly invokes sub-workflows for component creation
- Ensures proper file placement and structure
- Maintains module consistency across components
### Phase 4: Installation and Documentation (Steps 7-9)
**Installer Infrastructure**
- Creates install-module-config.yaml for deployment
- Sets up optional installer.js for complex installation logic
- Configures post-install messaging and instructions
**Comprehensive Documentation**
- Generates detailed README.md with usage examples
- Creates development roadmap for remaining components
- Provides quick commands for continued development
### Phase 5: Validation and Finalization (Step 10)
**Quality Assurance**
- Validates directory structure and configuration files
- Checks component references and path consistency
- Ensures installer configuration is deployment-ready
- Provides comprehensive module summary and next steps
## Output
### Generated Files
- **Module Directory**: Complete module structure at `{project-root}/bmad/{module_code}/`
- **Configuration Files**: config.yaml, install-module-config.yaml
- **Documentation**: README.md, TODO.md development roadmap
- **Component Placeholders**: Structured folders for agents, workflows, and tasks
### Output Structure
The workflow creates a complete module ready for development:
1. **Module Identity** - Name, code, version, and metadata
2. **Directory Structure** - Proper BMAD module hierarchy
3. **Configuration System** - Runtime and installation configs
4. **Component Framework** - Ready-to-use agent and workflow scaffolding
5. **Installation Infrastructure** - Deployment-ready installer
6. **Documentation Suite** - README, roadmap, and development guides
## Requirements
- **Module Brief** (optional but recommended) - Use module-brief workflow first for best results
- **BMAD Core Configuration** - Properly configured BMB config.yaml
- **Build Tools Access** - create-agent and create-workflow workflows must be available
## Best Practices
### Before Starting
1. **Create a Module Brief** - Run module-brief workflow for comprehensive planning
2. **Review Existing Modules** - Study similar modules in `/bmad/` for patterns and inspiration
3. **Define Clear Scope** - Have a concrete vision of what the module will accomplish
### During Execution
1. **Use Module Briefs** - Load existing briefs when prompted for accelerated development
2. **Start Simple** - Create one core agent and workflow, then expand iteratively
3. **Leverage Sub-workflows** - Use create-agent and create-workflow for quality components
4. **Validate Early** - Review generated structure before proceeding to next phases
### After Completion
1. **Follow the Roadmap** - Use generated TODO.md for systematic development
2. **Test Installation** - Validate installer with `bmad install {module_code}`
3. **Iterate Components** - Use quick commands to add agents and workflows
4. **Document Progress** - Update README.md as the module evolves
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Issue**: Module already exists at target location
- **Solution**: Choose a different module code or remove existing module
- **Check**: Verify output folder permissions and available space
**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
- **Solution**: Ensure create-agent and create-workflow workflows are available
- **Check**: Validate workflow paths in config.yaml
**Issue**: Installation configuration invalid
- **Solution**: Review install-module-config.yaml syntax and paths
- **Check**: Ensure all referenced paths use {project-root} variables correctly
## Customization
To customize this workflow:
1. **Modify Instructions** - Update instructions.md to adjust scaffolding steps
2. **Extend Templates** - Add new installer templates in installer-templates/
3. **Update Validation** - Enhance checklist.md with additional quality checks
4. **Add Components** - Integrate additional sub-workflows for specialized components
## Version History
- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
- Interactive module scaffolding
- Component integration with create-agent and create-workflow
- Complete installation infrastructure
- Module brief integration support
## Support
For issues or questions:
- Review the workflow creation guide at `/bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md`
- Study module structure patterns at `module-structure.md`
- Validate output using `checklist.md`
- Consult existing modules in `/bmad/` for examples

# Module Brainstorming Context
_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD module_
## Session Focus
You are brainstorming ideas for a **complete BMAD module** - a self-contained package that extends the BMAD Method with specialized domain expertise and capabilities.
## What is a BMAD Module?
A module is a cohesive package that provides:
- **Domain Expertise**: Specialized knowledge in a specific area (RPG, DevOps, Content Creation, etc.)
- **Agent Team**: Multiple AI personas with complementary skills
- **Workflows**: Guided processes for common tasks in the domain
- **Templates**: Document structures for consistent outputs
- **Integration**: Components that work together seamlessly
## Brainstorming Goals
Explore and define:
### 1. Domain and Purpose
- **What domain/problem space?** (e.g., game development, marketing, personal productivity)
- **Who is the target user?** (developers, writers, managers, hobbyists)
- **What pain points does it solve?** (tedious tasks, missing structure, need for expertise)
- **What makes this domain exciting?** (creativity, efficiency, empowerment)
### 2. Agent Team Composition
- **How many agents?** (typically 3-7 for a module)
- **What roles/personas?** (architect, researcher, reviewer, specialist)
- **How do they collaborate?** (handoffs, reviews, ensemble work)
- **What personality theme?** (Star Trek crew, superhero team, fantasy party, professional squad)
### 3. Core Workflows
- **What documents need creating?** (plans, specs, reports, creative outputs)
- **What processes need automation?** (analysis, generation, review, deployment)
- **What workflows enable the vision?** (3-10 key workflows that define the module)
### 4. Value Proposition
- **What becomes easier?** (specific tasks that get 10x faster)
- **What becomes possible?** (new capabilities previously unavailable)
- **What becomes better?** (quality improvements, consistency gains)
## Creative Constraints
A good BMAD module should be:
- **Focused**: Serves a specific domain well (not generic)
- **Complete**: Provides end-to-end capabilities for that domain
- **Cohesive**: Agents and workflows complement each other
- **Fun**: Personality and creativity make it enjoyable to use
- **Practical**: Solves real problems, delivers real value
## Module Architecture Questions
1. **Module Identity**
- Module code (kebab-case, e.g., "rpg-toolkit")
- Module name (friendly, e.g., "RPG Toolkit")
- Module purpose (one sentence)
- Target audience
2. **Agent Lineup**
- Agent names and roles
- Communication styles and personalities
- Expertise areas
- Command sets (what each agent can do)
3. **Workflow Portfolio**
- Document generation workflows
- Action/automation workflows
- Analysis/research workflows
- Creative/ideation workflows
4. **Integration Points**
- How agents invoke workflows
- How workflows use templates
- How components pass data
- Dependencies on other modules
## Example Module Patterns
### Professional Domains
- **DevOps Suite**: Deploy, Monitor, Troubleshoot agents + deployment workflows
- **Marketing Engine**: Content, SEO, Analytics agents + campaign workflows
- **Legal Assistant**: Contract, Research, Review agents + document workflows
### Creative Domains
- **RPG Toolkit**: DM, NPC, Quest agents + adventure creation workflows
- **Story Crafter**: Plot, Character, World agents + writing workflows
- **Music Producer**: Composer, Arranger, Mixer agents + production workflows
### Personal Domains
- **Life Coach**: Planner, Tracker, Mentor agents + productivity workflows
- **Learning Companion**: Tutor, Quiz, Reviewer agents + study workflows
- **Health Guide**: Nutrition, Fitness, Wellness agents + tracking workflows
## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
Particularly effective for module ideation:
1. **Domain Immersion**: Deep dive into target domain's problems
2. **Persona Mapping**: Who needs this and what do they struggle with?
3. **Workflow Mapping**: What processes exist today? How could they improve?
4. **Team Building**: What personalities would make a great team?
5. **Integration Thinking**: How do pieces connect and amplify each other?
## Key Questions to Answer
1. What domain expertise should this module embody?
2. What would users be able to do that they can't do now?
3. Who are the 3-7 agents and what are their personalities?
4. What are the 5-10 core workflows?
5. What makes this module delightful to use?
6. How is this different from existing tools?
7. What's the "killer feature" that makes this essential?
## Output Goals
Generate:
- **Module concept**: Clear vision and purpose
- **Agent roster**: Names, roles, personalities for each agent
- **Workflow list**: Core workflows with brief descriptions
- **Unique angle**: What makes this module special
- **Use cases**: 3-5 concrete scenarios where this module shines

1. **Module code** (kebab-case, e.g., "rpg-toolkit", "data-viz", "team-collab")
2. **Module name** (friendly name, e.g., "RPG Toolkit", "Data Visualization Suite")
3. **Module purpose** (1-2 sentences describing what it does)
4. **Target audience** (who will use this module?)
**Module Theme Examples:**
- **Domain-Specific:** Legal, Medical, Finance, Education
- **Creative:** RPG/Gaming, Story Writing, Music Production
- **Technical:** DevOps, Testing, Architecture, Security
- **Business:** Project Management, Marketing, Sales
- **Personal:** Journaling, Learning, Productivity
<critical>Check {src_impact} variable to determine output location:</critical>
- If {src_impact} = true: Module will be created at {src_output_folder}
- If {src_impact} = false: Module will be created at {default_output_folder}
Store module identity for scaffolding.
<template-output>module_identity</template-output>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Plan module components">
Gather the module's component architecture:
**Agents Planning:**
Ask: How many agents will this module have? (typically 1-5)
For each agent, gather:
- Agent name and purpose
- Will it be Simple, Expert, or Module type?
- Key commands it should have
- Create now or placeholder for later?
Example for RPG module:
1. DM Agent - Dungeon Master assistant (Module type)
2. NPC Agent - Character simulation (Expert type)
3. Story Writer Agent - Adventure creation (Module type)
**Workflows Planning:**
Ask: How many workflows? (typically 2-10)
For each workflow, gather:
- Workflow name and purpose
- Document, Action, or Interactive type?
- Complexity (simple/complex)
- Create now or placeholder?
Example workflows:
1. adventure-plan - Create full adventure (Document)
2. random-encounter - Quick encounter generator (Action)
3. npc-generator - Create NPCs on the fly (Interactive)
4. treasure-generator - Loot tables (Action)
**Tasks Planning (optional):**
Ask: Any special tasks that don't warrant full workflows?
For each task:
- Task name and purpose
- Standalone or supporting?

# BMAD Module Structure Guide
## What is a Module?
A BMAD module is a self-contained package of agents, workflows, tasks, and resources that work together to provide specialized functionality. Think of it as an expansion pack for the BMAD Method.
## Module Architecture
### Core Structure
```
project-root/
├── bmad/{module-code}/ # Source code
│ ├── agents/ # Agent definitions
│ ├── workflows/ # Workflow folders
│ ├── tasks/ # Task files
│ ├── templates/ # Shared templates
│ ├── data/ # Static data
│ ├── config.yaml # Module config
│ └── README.md # Documentation
└── bmad/{module-code}/ # Runtime instance
├── _module-installer/ # Installation files
│ ├── install-module-config.yaml
│ ├── installer.js # Optional
│ └── assets/ # Install assets
├── config.yaml # User config
├── agents/ # Agent overrides
├── workflows/ # Workflow instances
└── data/ # User data
```
## Module Types by Complexity
### Simple Module (1-2 agents, 2-3 workflows)
Perfect for focused, single-purpose tools.
**Example: Code Review Module**
- 1 Reviewer Agent
- 2 Workflows: quick-review, deep-review
- Clear, narrow scope
### Standard Module (3-5 agents, 5-10 workflows)
Comprehensive solution for a domain.
**Example: Project Management Module**
- PM Agent, Scrum Master Agent, Analyst Agent
- Workflows: sprint-planning, retrospective, roadmap, user-stories
- Integrated component ecosystem
### Complex Module (5+ agents, 10+ workflows)
Full platform or framework.
**Example: RPG Toolkit Module**
- DM Agent, NPC Agent, Monster Agent, Loot Agent, Map Agent
- 15+ workflows for every aspect of game management
- Multiple interconnected systems
## Module Naming Conventions
### Module Code (kebab-case)
- `data-viz` - Data Visualization
- `team-collab` - Team Collaboration
- `rpg-toolkit` - RPG Toolkit
- `legal-assist` - Legal Assistant
### Module Name (Title Case)
- "Data Visualization Suite"
- "Team Collaboration Platform"
- "RPG Game Master Toolkit"
- "Legal Document Assistant"
## Component Guidelines
### Agents per Module
**Recommended Distribution:**
- **Primary Agent (1)**: The main interface/orchestrator
- **Specialist Agents (2-4)**: Domain-specific experts
- **Utility Agents (0-2)**: Helper/support functions
**Anti-patterns to Avoid:**
- Too many overlapping agents
- Agents that could be combined
- Agents without clear purpose
### Workflows per Module
**Categories:**
- **Core Workflows (2-3)**: Essential functionality
- **Feature Workflows (3-5)**: Specific capabilities
- **Utility Workflows (2-3)**: Supporting operations
- **Admin Workflows (0-2)**: Maintenance/config
**Workflow Complexity Guide:**
- Simple: 3-5 steps, single output
- Standard: 5-10 steps, multiple outputs
- Complex: 10+ steps, conditional logic, sub-workflows
### Tasks per Module
Tasks should be used for:
- Single-operation utilities
- Shared subroutines
- Quick actions that don't warrant workflows
## Module Dependencies
### Internal Dependencies
- Agents can reference module workflows
- Workflows can invoke module tasks
- Tasks can use module templates
### External Dependencies
- Reference other modules via full paths
- Declare dependencies in config.yaml
- Version compatibility notes
## Installation Infrastructure
### Required: install-module-config.yaml
```yaml
module_name: 'Module Name'
module_code: 'module-code'
install_steps:
- name: 'Create directories'
action: 'mkdir'
paths: [...]
- name: 'Copy files'
action: 'copy'
mappings: [...]
- name: 'Register module'
action: 'register'
```
### Optional: installer.js
For complex installations requiring:
- Database setup
- API configuration
- System integration
- Permission management
### Optional: External Assets
Files that get copied outside the module:
- System configurations
- User templates
- Shared resources
- Integration scripts
## Module Lifecycle
### Development Phases
1. **Planning Phase**
- Define scope and purpose
- Identify components
- Design architecture
2. **Scaffolding Phase**
- Create directory structure
- Generate configurations
- Setup installer
3. **Building Phase**
- Create agents incrementally
- Build workflows progressively
- Add tasks as needed
4. **Testing Phase**
- Test individual components
- Verify integration
- Validate installation
5. **Deployment Phase**
- Package module
- Document usage
- Distribute/share
## Best Practices
### Module Cohesion
- All components should relate to module theme
- Clear boundaries between modules
- No feature creep
### Progressive Enhancement
- Start with MVP (1 agent, 2 workflows)
- Add components based on usage
- Refactor as patterns emerge
### Documentation Standards
- Every module needs README.md
- Each agent needs purpose statement
- Workflows need clear descriptions
- Include examples and quickstart
### Naming Consistency
- Use module code prefix for uniqueness
- Consistent naming patterns within module
- Clear, descriptive names
## Example Modules
### Example 1: Personal Productivity
```
productivity/
├── agents/
│ ├── task-manager.md # GTD methodology
│ └── focus-coach.md # Pomodoro timer
├── workflows/
│ ├── daily-planning/ # Morning routine
│ ├── weekly-review/ # Week retrospective
│ └── project-setup/ # New project init
└── config.yaml
```
### Example 2: Content Creation
```
content/
├── agents/
│ ├── writer.md # Blog/article writer
│ ├── editor.md # Copy editor
│ └── seo-optimizer.md # SEO specialist
├── workflows/
│ ├── blog-post/ # Full blog creation
│ ├── social-media/ # Social content
│ ├── email-campaign/ # Email sequence
│ └── content-calendar/ # Planning
└── templates/
├── blog-template.md
└── email-template.md
```
### Example 3: DevOps Automation
```
devops/
├── agents/
│ ├── deploy-master.md # Deployment orchestrator
│ ├── monitor.md # System monitoring
│ ├── incident-responder.md # Incident management
│ └── infra-architect.md # Infrastructure design
├── workflows/
│ ├── ci-cd-setup/ # Pipeline creation
│ ├── deploy-app/ # Application deployment
│ ├── rollback/ # Emergency rollback
│ ├── health-check/ # System verification
│ └── incident-response/ # Incident handling
├── tasks/
│ ├── check-status.md # Quick status check
│ └── notify-team.md # Team notifications
└── data/
└── runbooks/ # Operational guides
```
## Module Evolution Pattern
```
Simple Module → Standard Module → Complex Module → Module Suite
(MVP) (Enhanced) (Complete) (Ecosystem)
```
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Over-engineering**: Starting too complex
2. **Under-planning**: No clear architecture
3. **Poor boundaries**: Module does too much
4. **Weak integration**: Components don't work together
5. **Missing docs**: No clear usage guide
## Success Metrics
A well-designed module has:
- ✅ Clear, focused purpose
- ✅ Cohesive components
- ✅ Smooth installation
- ✅ Comprehensive docs
- ✅ Room for growth
- ✅ Happy users!
