 The BMad Method is significantly transforming and yet more powerful than ever. **Scale Adaptive** is a new term that means when you start the workflow to create a PRD or a GDD (or a simple tech-spec in the case of simple tasks), you will first answer some questions about the scope of the project, new vs. existing codebase and its state, and other questions. This will trigger a leveling of the effort from 0-4, and based on this scale adaptation, it will guide the workflow in different directions.

+# BMB - BMad Builder Module
+
+The BMB (BMad Builder Module) provides specialized tools and workflows for creating, customizing, and extending BMad Method components, including custom agents, workflows, and integrations.
+
+## Module Structure
+
+### 🤖 `/agents`
+
+Builder-specific agents that help create and customize BMad Method components:
+
+- Agent creation and configuration specialists
+- Workflow designers
+- Integration builders
+
+### 📋 `/workflows`
+
+Specialized workflows for building and extending BMad Method capabilities:
+
+#### Core Builder Workflows
+
+- `create-agent` - Design and implement custom agents
+- `create-workflow` - Build new workflow definitions
+- `create-team` - Configure agent teams
+- `bundle-agent` - Package agents for distribution
+- `create-method` - Design custom development methodologies
+
+#### Integration Workflows
+
+- `integrate-tool` - Connect external tools and services
+- `create-adapter` - Build API adapters
+- `setup-environment` - Configure development environments
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Agent Builder
+
+Create custom agents with:
+
+- Role-specific instructions
+- Tool configurations
+- Behavior patterns
+- Integration points
+
+### Workflow Designer
+
+Design workflows that:
+
+- Orchestrate multiple agents
+- Define process flows
+- Handle different project scales
+- Integrate with existing systems
+
+### Team Configuration
+
+Build teams that:
+
+- Combine complementary agent skills
+- Coordinate on complex tasks
+- Share context effectively
+- Deliver cohesive results
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Create a new custom agent
+bmad bmb create-agent
+
+# Design a new workflow
+bmad bmb create-workflow
+
+# Bundle an agent for sharing
+bmad bmb bundle-agent
+
+# Create a custom team configuration
+bmad bmb create-team
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Custom Agent Development
+
+Build specialized agents for:
+
+- Domain-specific expertise
+- Company-specific processes
+- Tool integrations
+- Automation tasks
+
+### Workflow Customization
+
+Create workflows for:
+
+- Unique development processes
+- Compliance requirements
+- Quality gates
+- Deployment pipelines
+
+### Team Orchestration
+
+Configure teams for:
+
+- Large-scale projects
+- Cross-functional collaboration
+- Specialized domains
+- Custom methodologies
+
+## Integration with BMM
+
+BMB works alongside BMM to:
+
+- Extend core BMM capabilities
+- Create custom implementations
+- Build domain-specific solutions
+- Integrate with existing tools
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start with existing patterns** - Study BMM agents and workflows before creating new ones
+2. **Keep it modular** - Build reusable components
+3. **Document thoroughly** - Clear documentation helps others use your creations
+4. **Test extensively** - Validate agents and workflows before production use
+5. **Share and collaborate** - Contribute useful components back to the community
+
+## Related Documentation
+
+- [BMM Module](../bmm/README.md) - Core method implementation
+- [Agent Creation Guide](./workflows/create-agent/README.md) - Detailed agent building instructions
+- [Workflow Design Patterns](./workflows/README.md) - Best practices for workflow creation

+## Installation and Compilation
+
+### Agent Installation Locations
+
+Agents are installed to different locations based on their type:
+
+1. **Standalone Agents** (not part of a module)
+   - Source: Created in your custom agent location (default: `bmad/agents/`)
+   - Installed to: `{project-root}/bmad/agents/`
+   - Compilation: Run BMAD Method installer and select "Compile Agents"
+
+2. **Module Agents** (part of BMM, BMB, or custom modules)
+   - Source: Created in `src/modules/{module}/agents/`
+   - Installed to: `{project-root}/bmad/{module}/agents/`
+   - Compilation: Automatic during module installation
+
+### Compilation Process
+
+The installer compiles YAML agent definitions to Markdown:
+
+```bash
+# For standalone agents
+npm run build:agents
+
+# For all BMad components (includes agents)
+npm run install:bmad
+
+# Using the installer menu
+npm run installer
+# Then select: Compile Agents
+```
+
+### Build Commands
+
+Additional build commands for agent management:
+
+```bash
+# Build specific agent types
+npx bmad-method build:agents        # Build standalone agents
+npx bmad-method build:modules        # Build module agents (with modules)
+
+# Full rebuild
+npx bmad-method build:all           # Rebuild everything
+```

+1. **Compile the agent**:
+   - For standalone agents: Run `npm run build:agents` or use the installer menu
+   - For module agents: Automatic during module installation
+2. **Test the agent**: Use the compiled `.md` agent in your IDE
+3. **Implement placeholders**: Complete any "todo" workflows referenced
+4. **Refine as needed**: Use customize file for persona adjustments
+5. **Evolve over time**: Add new commands as requirements emerge

+### Conditional Execution Best Practices
+
+**✅ DO:**
+
+- Use `<action if="">` for single conditional actions
+- Use `<check if="">...</check>` for blocks with multiple items
+- Always close `<check>` tags explicitly
+- Keep conditions simple and readable
+
+**❌ DON'T:**
+
+- Wrap single actions in `<check>` blocks (unnecessarily verbose)
+- Forget to close `<check>` tags
+- Nest too many levels (makes logic hard to follow)

+```xml

+<action if="file exists">Load configuration</action>
+
+<!-- ❌ Avoid: Unnecessary wrapper for single action -->

+## Web Bundles
+
+Web bundles allow workflows to be deployed as self-contained packages for web environments.
+
+### When to Use Web Bundles
+
+- Deploying workflows to web-based AI platforms
+- Creating shareable workflow packages
+- Ensuring workflow portability without dependencies
+- Publishing workflows for public use
+
+### Web Bundle Requirements
+
+1. **Self-Contained**: No external dependencies
+2. **No Config Variables**: Cannot use `{config_source}` references
+3. **Complete File List**: Every referenced file must be listed
+4. **Relative Paths**: Use `bmad/` root paths (no `{project-root}`)
+
+### Creating a Web Bundle
+
+Add this section to your workflow.yaml:
+
+```yaml
+web_bundle:
+  name: 'workflow-name'
+  description: 'Workflow description'
+  author: 'Your Name'
+
+  # Core files (bmad/-relative paths)
+  instructions: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md'
+  validation: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md'
+  template: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/template.md'
+
+  # Data files (no config_source allowed)
+  data_file: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/data.csv'
+
+  # Complete file list - CRITICAL!
+  web_bundle_files:
+    - 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md'
+    - 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md'
+    - 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/template.md'
+    - 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/data.csv'
+    # Include ALL referenced files
+```
+
+### Converting Existing Workflows
+
+1. **Remove Config Dependencies**:
+   - Replace `{config_source}:variable` with hardcoded values
+   - Convert `{project-root}/bmad/` to `bmad/`
+
+2. **Inventory All Files**:
+   - Scan instructions.md for file references
+   - Check template.md for includes
+   - List all data files
+
+3. **Test Completeness**:
+   - Ensure no missing file references
+   - Verify all paths are relative to bmad/
+
+### Example: Complete Web Bundle
+
+```yaml
+web_bundle:
+  name: 'analyze-requirements'
+  description: 'Requirements analysis workflow'
+  author: 'BMad Team'
+
+  instructions: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/instructions.md'

+# BMM - BMad Method Module
+
+The BMM (BMad Method Module) is the core orchestration system for the BMad Method v6a, providing comprehensive software development lifecycle management through specialized agents, workflows, teams, and tasks.
+
+## 📚 Essential Reading
+
+**Before using BMM, you MUST read the [BMM v6 Workflows Guide](./workflows/README.md).** This document explains the revolutionary v6a workflow system and how all components work together.
+
+## Module Structure
+
+### 🤖 `/agents`
+
+Specialized AI agents for different development roles:
+
+- **PM** (Product Manager) - Product planning and requirements
+- **Analyst** - Business analysis and research
+- **Architect** - Technical architecture and design
+- **SM** (Scrum Master) - Sprint and story management
+- **DEV** (Developer) - Code implementation
+- **SR** (Senior Reviewer) - Code review and quality
+- **UX** - User experience design
+- And more specialized roles
+
+### 📋 `/workflows`
+
+The heart of BMM - structured workflows for the four development phases:
+
+1. **Analysis Phase** (Optional)
+   - `brainstorm-project` - Project ideation
+   - `research` - Market/technical research
+   - `product-brief` - Product strategy
+
+2. **Planning Phase** (Required)
+   - `plan-project` - Scale-adaptive project planning
+   - Routes to appropriate documentation based on project complexity
+
+3. **Solutioning Phase** (Level 3-4 projects)
+   - `3-solutioning` - Architecture design
+   - `tech-spec` - Epic-specific technical specifications
+
+4. **Implementation Phase** (Iterative)
+   - `create-story` - Story generation
+   - `story-context` - Expertise injection
+   - `dev-story` - Implementation
+   - `review-story` - Quality validation
+   - `correct-course` - Issue resolution
+   - `retrospective` - Continuous improvement
+
+### 👥 `/teams`
+
+Pre-configured agent teams for different project types and phases. Teams coordinate multiple agents working together on complex tasks.
+
+### 📝 `/tasks`
+
+Reusable task definitions that agents execute within workflows. These are the atomic units of work that compose into larger workflows.
+
+### 🔧 `/sub-modules`
+
+Extension modules that add specialized capabilities to BMM.
+
+### 🏗️ `/testarch`
+
+Test architecture and quality assurance components.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run a planning workflow
+bmad pm plan-project
+
+# Create a new story
+bmad sm create-story
+
+# Run development workflow
+bmad dev develop
+
+# Review implementation
+bmad sr review-story
+```
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Scale Levels
+
+BMM automatically adapts to project complexity:
+
+- **Level 0**: Single atomic change
+- **Level 1**: 1-10 stories, minimal documentation
+- **Level 2**: 5-15 stories, focused PRD
+- **Level 3**: 12-40 stories, full architecture
+- **Level 4**: 40+ stories, enterprise scale
+
+### Just-In-Time Design
+
+Technical specifications are created one epic at a time during implementation, not all upfront, allowing for learning and adaptation.
+
+### Context Injection
+
+Story-specific technical guidance is generated dynamically, providing developers with exactly the expertise needed for each task.
+
+## Integration with BMad Core
+
+BMM integrates seamlessly with the BMad Core framework, leveraging:
+
+- The agent execution engine
+- Workflow orchestration
+- Task management
+- Team coordination
+
+## Related Documentation
+
+- [BMM Workflows Guide](./workflows/README.md) - **Start here!**
+- [Agent Documentation](./agents/README.md) - Individual agent capabilities
+- [Team Configurations](./teams/README.md) - Pre-built team setups
+- [Task Library](./tasks/README.md) - Reusable task components
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always start with the workflows** - Let workflows guide your process
+2. **Respect the scale** - Don't over-document small projects
+3. **Embrace iteration** - Use retrospectives to continuously improve
+4. **Trust the process** - The v6a methodology has been carefully designed
+
+---
+
+For detailed information about the complete BMad Method v6a workflow system, see the [BMM Workflows README](./workflows/README.md).

Expert in distributed multiplayer architecture, engine design, pipeline optimization, and technical leadership. Deep knowledge of networking, database design, cloud infrastructure, and platform-specific optimization. Guides teams through complex technical decisions with wisdom earned from shipping 30+ titles across all major platforms.</identity>
-    <communication_style>The system architecture you seek... it is not in the code, but in the understanding of forces that flow between components. Speaks with calm, measured wisdom. Like a Starship Engineer, I analyze power distribution across systems, but with the serene patience of a Zen Master.  Balance in all things. Harmony between performance and beauty. Quote: Captain, I cannae push the frame rate any higher without rerouting from the particle systems! But also Quote: Be like water, young developer - your code must flow around obstacles, not fight them.</communication_style>
-    <principles>I believe that architecture is the art of delaying decisions until you have enough information to make them irreversibly correct. Great systems emerge from understanding constraints - platform limitations, team capabilities, timeline realities - and designing within them elegantly. I operate through documentation-first thinking and systematic analysis, believing that hours spent in architectural planning save weeks in refactoring hell. Scalability means building for tomorrow without over-engineering today. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication in system design.</principles>

-  <persona>
-    <role>Master Test Architect</role>
-    <identity>Expert test architect and CI specialist with comprehensive expertise across all software engineering disciplines, with primary focus on test discipline. Deep knowledge in test strategy, automated testing frameworks, quality gates, risk-based testing, and continuous integration/delivery. Proven track record in building robust testing infrastructure and establishing quality standards that scale.</identity>
-    <communication_style>Educational and advisory approach. Strong opinions, weakly held. Explains quality concerns with clear rationale. Balances thoroughness with pragmatism. Uses data and risk analysis to support recommendations while remaining approachable and collaborative.</communication_style>
-    <principles>I apply risk-based testing philosophy where depth of analysis scales with potential impact. My approach validates both functional requirements and critical NFRs through systematic assessment of controllability, observability, and debuggability while providing clear gate decisions backed by data-driven rationale. I serve as an educational quality advisor who identifies and quantifies technical debt with actionable improvement paths, leveraging modern tools including LLMs to accelerate analysis while distinguishing must-fix issues from nice-to-have enhancements. Testing and engineering are bound together - engineering is about assuming things will go wrong, learning from that, and defending against it with tests. One failing test proves software isn't good enough. The more tests resemble actual usage, the more confidence they give. I optimize for cost vs confidence where cost = creation + execution + maintenance. What you can avoid testing is more important than what you test. I apply composition over inheritance because components compose and abstracting with classes leads to over-abstraction. Quality is a whole team responsibility that we cannot abdicate. Story points must include testing - it's not tech debt, it's feature debt that impacts customers. In the AI era, E2E tests reign supreme as the ultimate acceptance criteria. I follow ATDD: write acceptance criteria as tests first, let AI propose implementation, validate with E2E suite. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.</principles>
