### 🚨 MUST READ: Understanding the BMAD Workflow
**Before diving in, review these critical workflow diagrams that explain how BMAD works:**
1. **[Planning Workflow (Web UI)](docs/user-guide.md#the-planning-workflow-web-ui)** - How to create PRD and Architecture documents
2. **[Core Development Cycle (IDE)](docs/user-guide.md#the-core-development-cycle-ide)** - How SM, Dev, and QA agents collaborate through story files
> ⚠️ **These diagrams explain 90% of BMad Method Agentic Agile flow confusion** - Understanding the PRD+Architecture creation and the SM/Dev/QA workflow and how agents pass notes through story files is essential - and also explains why this is NOT taskmaster or just a simple task runner!

## Overview
BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-Driven Development) revolutionizes software development by providing specialized AI agents for every role in an Agile team. Each agent has deep expertise in their domain and can collaborate to deliver complete software projects.
The BMad Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile Agentic-Driven Development) elevates 'Vibe Coding' by providing specialized AI agents for every role in an Agile team. Each agent has deep expertise in their domain helping you really plan and execute on your vision while keeping the agents on the rails even through complex application plans.
### Why BMAD?
- **🎯 Specialized Expertise**: Each agent is an expert in their specific role
- **🔄 True Agile Workflow**: Follows real Agile methodologies and best practices
- **📦 Modular Design**: Use one agent or an entire team
- **🛠️ IDE Integration**: Works seamlessly with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and Gemini
- **🌐 Platform Agnostic**: Use with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI platform
Unlike systems like Task Master, or inbuilt Task tool, the BMad Methods agile flow does so much more. With most systems, you give your idea in a few sentences at most, and the system churns out a plan, task list, lets you review it and then starts executing. Where the BMad agile flow is different is you can choose to have more upfront planning and architecture specification to ensure the system is built in a sustainable way, not a vibe coded spaghetti mess. When producing the PRD and Architectures (full stack, front end and or backend), the Agents work with you back and forth using advanced proven LLM techniques and techniques also based in psychology to produce beyond the average slop LLMs and Task generators will on their own. This truly is a system of Human in the Loop produces markedly better results.

## Advanced Features
### Dynamic Dependencies
Each agent only loads the resources it needs, keeping context windows lean.
### Template System
Rich templates for all document types:
- Product Requirements (PRD)
- Architecture Documents
- User Stories
- Test Plans
- And more...
Templates are unique in that they are embedded with the LLM instructions also for further working with you to prompt and elicit the best from you and your agile agent team member - allowing for unique coaching and customization options. While there is a single create-doc task, the possibilities are endless when you expand the templates into more doc types, or customize with your own docs embedded with the templating markup and LLM instruction framework that is core to the BMad Method.
### Slash Star Commands
Ask the agent you are using for help with /help (in the web) or \*help in the ide to see what commands are available!
### Advanced Elicitation
Many of the Agents and Templates for docs, and some tasks, include Advanced Elicitation directives based on the latest in LLM interactions and pro level prompt engineering guidance. With this, you can push the Agents further than ever before. If an agent proposes an idea, or an architecture - you can push it further with optional elicitations where it will have to really expand on, defend, or produce other options and prove its suggestion was better. This is a necessary step if you want the absolute best beyond accepting the generated average responses the LLMs think you want to hear for their first response. Some of this is interactive, and some of this is baked into the core prompting engine that powers the LLM progression through various tasks and template flows.
## Usage

### With Web UI (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini)
#### With Web UI
After uploading a bundle you can ask /help of the agent to learn what it can do
After uploading a bundle, type `/help` to see available commands.
### CLI Commands
### Key Resources
```bash
# List all available agents
npx bmad-method list
# Install or update (automatically detects existing installations)
npx bmad-method install
# Check installation status
npx bmad-method status
```
### Upgrading from V3 to V4
If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
```
The upgrade process will:
1. Create a backup of your V3 files in `.bmad-v3-backup/`
2. Install the new V4 `.bmad-core/` structure
3. Migrate your documents (PRD, Architecture, Stories, Epics)
4. Set up IDE integration for all V4 agents
5. Create an install manifest for future updates
After upgrading:
1. Review your documents in the `docs/` folder - if you had a PRD or architecture in your old project, copy it from the backup to the docs folder if they are not there.
2. Optionally run the `doc-migration-task` to align your documents with V4 templates - you can do this with your agent my saying something like: 'run {drag in task} against {drag prd or arch file from docs} to align with {drag the template from .bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture.md}
3. If you have separate front-end and backend architecture docs you can modify step 2 to merge both into a single full stack architecture or separate Front and Back end.
The reason #2 and 3 are optional is because now BMad V4 makes sharding optional for the SM. See [Core Configuration](#-core-configuration-new-in-v4)
**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/` - you can remove the backup folder versions.
### 🔧 Core Configuration (NEW in V4)
**Critical**: V4 introduces `bmad-core/core-config.yml` - a powerful configuration file that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, whether it's V4-optimized or legacy. You can even now use non-standard PRDs and architectures!
#### What is core-config.yml?
This configuration file tells BMAD agents exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It's the key to V4's flexibility and backwards compatibility.
#### Key Features
- **Version Awareness**: Agents understand if your PRD/Architecture follows V4 conventions or earlier versions
- **Flexible Document Locations**: Works whether your epics are embedded in PRD or properly sharded
- **Developer Context**: Define which files the dev agent should always load
- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting story implementation
#### Why It Matters
- **Use BMAD with ANY project structure** - V3, V4, or custom layouts
- **No forced migrations** - Keep your existing document organization
- **Customize developer workflow** - Specify exactly which files provide context
- **Seamless upgrades** - Start with V3 docs and gradually adopt V4 patterns
See the [detailed core-config.yml guide](docs/user-guide.md#core-configuration-coreconfigyml) for configuration examples and best practices.

## Step 2: Set Up Team Fullstack in Gemini
For ideation and planning, use Google's Gemini Custom Gem with the team-fullstack configuration:
1. Open [Google gems](https://gemini.google.com/gems/view)
2. Create a new Gem - give it a title and description
3. Copy the contents of `.<install location>/<web-bundles>/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (location can vary if you chose a non default installation location for the bundles) - or just use the bundle premade from the repo dist folder.
4. Paste this content into Gemini to set up the team
### Gemini Planning Phase
In Gemini, ask the BMAD team to help you:
- **Ideate** your project concept
- **Brainstorm** features and requirements
- **Create a PRD** (Product Requirements Document)
- **Design the architecture**
Ask questions like:
- "Help me brainstorm a [type of application] that does [core functionality]"
- "Create a comprehensive PRD for this concept"
- "Design the technical architecture for this system"
Copy the PRD and architecture documents that Gemini creates into your project's `docs/` folder:
- `docs/prd.md`
- `docs/architecture.md`
## Step 3: Back to Claude Code - Document Sharding
Once you have your PRD and architecture documents in the `docs/` folder:
1. **Start a new chat in Claude Code**
2. **Load the bmad-master agent**: Type `/bmad-master`
3. **Shard the PRD**: Type `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd`
4. **Shard the architecture**: Type `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture`
This creates organized folders:
- `docs/prd/` - Contains broken down PRD sections
- `docs/architecture/` - Contains broken down architecture sections
## Step 4: Story Development Cycle
Now begin the iterative development cycle:
### Create Stories (Scrum Master)
1. **Start a new chat**
2. **Load SM agent**: Type `/sm`
3. **Create story**: Type `*create` (this runs the create-next-story task)
4. **Review the generated story**
5. **If approved**: Set story status to "Approved" in the story file
### Implement Stories (Developer)
1. **Start a new chat**
2. **Load Dev agent**: Type `/dev`
3. **The agent will ask which story to implement**
4. **Follow the development tasks** the agent provides
5. **When story is complete**: Mark status as "Done"
### Repeat the Cycle
1. **Start a new chat with SM agent** (`/sm`)
2. **Create next story**: Type `*create`
3. **Review and approve**
4. **Start new chat with Dev agent** (`/dev`)
5. **Implement the story**
6. **Repeat until project complete**
## Available Commands in Claude Code
All BMAD agents are available as Claude Code commands:
- `/bmad-master` - Universal task executor
- `/sm` - Scrum Master for story creation
- `/dev` - Full-stack developer for implementation
- `/architect` - Solution architect for design
- `/pm` - Product manager for planning
- `/analyst` - Business analyst for requirements
- `/qa` - QA specialist for testing
- `/po` - Product owner for prioritization
- `/ux-expert` - UX specialist for design
## Key Workflow Principles
1. **Always start new chats** when switching agents to avoid context confusion
2. **Use Gemini for initial planning** and ideation with the team-fullstack bundle
3. **Use bmad-master for document management** (sharding, templates, etc.)
4. **Follow the SM → Dev cycle** for consistent story development
5. **Review and approve stories** before implementation begins
## Tips for Success
- **Keep chats focused**: Each chat should have one agent and one primary task
- **Use \*help command**: Every agent supports `*help` to see available commands
- **Review generated content**: Always review and approve stories before marking them ready
- **Maintain status updates**: Keep story statuses current (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
This workflow ensures systematic, AI-assisted development following agile principles with clear handoffs between planning, story creation, and implementation phases.

This cycle continues, with the Scrum Master and Developer agents working in tandem, until all stories in the epic are completed.
This cycle continues, with the Scrum Master, Developer, and optionally QA agents working together. The QA agent provides senior developer review capabilities through the `review-story` task, offering code refactoring, quality improvements, and knowledge transfer. This ensures high code quality while maintaining development velocity.

# BMAD Method Guide for Cursor
This guide walks you through the complete BMAD workflow using Cursor as your AI-powered IDE.
## Step 1: Install BMAD in Your Project
1. Navigate to your project directory
2. Run the BMAD installer:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
```
3. When prompted:
- **Installation Type**: Choose "Complete installation (recommended)"
- **IDE**: Select "Cursor"
This creates a `.bmad-core` folder with all agents and a `.cursor/rules` folder with agent rules.
## Step 2: Set Up Team Fullstack in Gemini
For ideation and planning, use Google's Gemini Custom Gem with the team-fullstack configuration:
1. Open [Google gems](https://gemini.google.com/gems/view)
2. Create a new Gem - give it a title and description
3. Copy the contents of `.<install location>/<web-bundles>/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (location can vary if you chose a non default installation location for the bundles) - or just use the bundle premade from the repo dist folder.
4. Paste this content into Gemini to set up the team
### Gemini Planning Phase
In Gemini, ask the BMAD team to help you:
- **Ideate** your project concept
- **Brainstorm** features and requirements
- **Create a PRD** (Product Requirements Document)
- **Design the architecture**
Ask questions like:
- "Help me brainstorm a [type of application] that does [core functionality]"
- "Create a comprehensive PRD for this concept"
- "Design the technical architecture for this system"
Copy the PRD and architecture documents that Gemini creates into your project's `docs/` folder:
- `docs/prd.md`
- `docs/architecture.md`
## Step 3: Back to Cursor - Document Sharding
Once you have your PRD and architecture documents in the `docs/` folder:
1. **Start a new chat in Cursor**
2. **Load the bmad-master agent**: Type `@bmad-master`
3. **Shard the PRD**: Type `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd`
4. **Shard the architecture**: Type `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture`
This creates organized folders:
- `docs/prd/` - Contains broken down PRD sections
- `docs/architecture/` - Contains broken down architecture sections
## Step 4: Story Development Cycle
Now begin the iterative development cycle:
### Create Stories (Scrum Master)
1. **Start a new chat**
2. **Load SM agent**: Type `@sm`
3. **Create story**: Type `*create` (this runs the create-next-story task)
4. **Review the generated story**
5. **If approved**: Set story status to "Approved" in the story file
### Implement Stories (Developer)
1. **Start a new chat**
2. **Load Dev agent**: Type `@dev`
3. **The agent will ask which story to implement**
4. **Follow the development tasks** the agent provides
5. **When story is complete**: Mark status as "Done"
### Repeat the Cycle
1. **Start a new chat with SM agent** (`@sm`)
2. **Create next story**: Type `*create`
3. **Review and approve**
4. **Start new chat with Dev agent** (`@dev`)
5. **Implement the story**
6. **Repeat until project complete**
## Available Agent Rules in Cursor
All BMAD agents are available as Cursor rules (use `@` prefix):
- `@bmad-master` - Universal task executor
- `@sm` - Scrum Master for story creation
- `@dev` - Full-stack developer for implementation
- `@architect` - Solution architect for design
- `@pm` - Product manager for planning
- `@analyst` - Business analyst for requirements
- `@qa` - QA specialist for testing
- `@po` - Product owner for prioritization
- `@ux-expert` - UX specialist for design
Alternatively, and more performance - you can copy the contents of an agent file into a custom mode - see the cursor docs on how to use custom agents.
## Cursor-Specific Features
- **Agent rules are stored in**: `.cursor/rules/` as `.mdc` files
- **Auto-completion**: Cursor will suggest `@agent-name` as you type
- **Rule activation**: Rules activate automatically when you mention `@agent-name`
- **Context awareness**: Agents have access to your current file context
## Key Workflow Principles
1. **Always start new chats** when switching agents to avoid context confusion
2. **Use Gemini for initial planning** and ideation with the team-fullstack bundle
3. **Use bmad-master for document management** (sharding, templates, etc.)
4. **Follow the SM → Dev cycle** for consistent story development
5. **Review and approve stories** before implementation begins
## Tips for Success
- **Keep chats focused**: Each chat should have one agent and one primary task
- **Use \*help command**: Every agent supports `*help` to see available commands
- **Review generated content**: Always review and approve stories before marking them ready
- **Maintain status updates**: Keep story statuses current (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
- **Leverage Cursor's context**: Agents can see your current file selection for better assistance
This workflow ensures systematic, AI-assisted development following agile principles with clear handoffs between planning, story creation, and implementation phases.

# BMAD Method Guide for Roo Code
This guide walks you through the complete BMAD workflow using Roo Code as your AI-powered IDE.
## Step 1: Install BMAD in Your Project
1. Navigate to your project directory
2. Run the BMAD installer:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
```
3. When prompted:
- **Installation Type**: Choose "Complete installation (recommended)"
- **IDE**: Select "Roo Code"
This creates a `.bmad-core` folder with all agents and a `.roomodes` file (in the project root) with custom modes.
## Step 2: Set Up Team Fullstack in Gemini
For ideation and planning, use Google's Gemini Custom Gem with the team-fullstack configuration:
1. Open [Google gems](https://gemini.google.com/gems/view)
2. Create a new Gem - give it a title and description
3. Copy the contents of `.<install location>/<web-bundles>/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (location can vary if you chose a non default installation location for the bundles) - or just use the bundle premade from the repo dist folder.

- **Design the architecture**
Ask questions like:
- "Help me brainstorm a [type of application] that does [core functionality]"

- "Design the technical architecture for this system"
Copy the PRD and architecture documents that Gemini creates into your project's `docs/` folder:
- `docs/prd.md`
- `docs/architecture.md`
## Step 3: Back to Roo Code - Document Sharding
Once you have your PRD and architecture documents in the `docs/` folder:
1. **Open your project in Roo Code**
2. **Select the bmad-master mode** from the mode selector (usually in status bar)
3. **Shard the PRD**: Type `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd`
4. **Shard the architecture**: Type `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture`
This creates organized folders:
- `docs/prd/` - Contains broken down PRD sections
- `docs/architecture/` - Contains broken down architecture sections
## Step 4: Story Development Cycle
Now begin the iterative development cycle:
### Create Stories (Scrum Master)
1. **Start a new chat or conversation**
2. **Switch to SM mode**: Select `bmad-sm` from the mode selector
3. **Create story**: Type `*create` (this runs the create-next-story task)
4. **Review the generated story**
5. **If approved**: Set story status to "Approved" in the story file
### Implement Stories (Developer)
1. **Start a new conversation**
2. **Switch to Dev mode**: Select `bmad-dev` from the mode selector
3. **The agent will ask which story to implement**
4. **Follow the development tasks** the agent provides
5. **When story is complete**: Mark status as "Done"
### Repeat the Cycle
1. **Switch to SM mode** (`bmad-sm`)
2. **Create next story**: Type `*create`
3. **Review and approve**
4. **Switch to Dev mode** (`bmad-dev`)
5. **Implement the story**
6. **Repeat until project complete**
## Available Custom Modes in Roo Code
All BMAD agents are available as custom modes:
- `bmad-bmad-master` - 🧙 Universal task executor
- `bmad-sm` - 🏃 Scrum Master for story creation
- `bmad-dev` - 💻 Full-stack developer for implementation
- `bmad-architect` - 🏗️ Solution architect for design
- `bmad-pm` - 📋 Product manager for planning
- `bmad-analyst` - 📊 Business analyst for requirements
- `bmad-qa` - 🧪 QA specialist for testing
- `bmad-po` - 🎯 Product owner for prioritization
- `bmad-ux-expert` - 🎨 UX specialist for design
## Roo Code-Specific Features
- **Custom modes are stored in**: `.roomodes` file (in the project root)
- **Mode switching**: Use the mode selector in Roo Code's interface
- **File permissions**: Each agent has specific file access permissions
- **Documentation agents** (SM, PM, PO, Analyst): Limited to `.md` and `.txt` files
- **Technical agents** (Dev, Architect, Master): Full file access
- **QA agents**: Access to test files and documentation
- **UX agents**: Access to design-related files
- **Context preservation**: Modes maintain context within conversations
## Key Workflow Principles
1. **Switch modes instead of starting new chats** - Roo Code handles context better with mode switching
2. **Use Gemini for initial planning** and ideation with the team-fullstack bundle
3. **Use bmad-master mode for document management** (sharding, templates, etc.)
4. **Follow the SM → Dev mode cycle** for consistent story development
5. **Review and approve stories** before implementation begins
## Tips for Success
- **Use mode selector effectively**: Switch modes as needed for different tasks
- **Respect file permissions**: Agents can only edit files they have permission for
- **Use \*help command**: Every mode supports `*help` to see available commands
- **Review generated content**: Always review and approve stories before marking them ready
- **Maintain status updates**: Keep story statuses current (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
- **Leverage Roo's context**: Modes can maintain context across the conversation
## File Permission Summary
- **bmad-analyst, bmad-pm, bmad-po, bmad-sm**: `.md`, `.txt` files only
- **bmad-architect**: `.md`, `.txt`, `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` files
- **bmad-qa**: Test files (`.test.js`, `.spec.ts`, etc.) and `.md` files
- **bmad-ux-expert**: `.md`, `.css`, `.scss`, `.html`, `.jsx`, `.tsx` files
- **bmad-dev, bmad-bmad-master, bmad-orchestrator**: Full file access
This workflow ensures systematic, AI-assisted development following agile principles with clear handoffs between planning, story creation, and implementation phases.

### Upgrading from V3 to V4
If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
```
The upgrade process will:
1. Create a backup of your V3 files in `.bmad-v3-backup/`
2. Install the new V4 `.bmad-core/` structure
3. Migrate your documents (PRD, Architecture, Stories, Epics)
4. Set up IDE integration for all V4 agents
5. Create an install manifest for future updates
After upgrading:
1. Review your documents in the `docs/` folder - if you had a PRD or architecture in your old project, copy it from the backup to the docs folder if they are not there.
2. Optionally run the `doc-migration-task` to align your documents with V4 templates - you can do this with your agent by saying something like: 'run {drag in task} against {drag prd or arch file from docs} to align with {drag the template from .bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture.md}'
3. If you have separate front-end and backend architecture docs you can modify step 2 to merge both into a single full stack architecture or separate Front and Back end.
The reason #2 and #3 are optional is because now BMAD V4 makes sharding optional for the SM. See [Core Configuration](#core-configuration-coreconfigyml)
**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/` - you can remove the backup folder versions.

### Workflow Phases
@@ -319,15 +368,213 @@ graph TD
- **SM**: Draft next story from sharded epic
- **User**: Review and approve story
- **Dev**: Implement all story tasks
- **Dev**: Sequential task execution:
- Reads each task in the story
- Implements code for the task
- Writes tests alongside implementation
- Runs validations (linting, tests)
- Updates task checkbox [x] only if all validations pass
- Maintains Debug Log for temporary changes
- Updates File List with all created/modified files
- **Dev**: After all tasks complete:
- Runs integration tests (if specified)
- Runs E2E tests (if specified)
- Validates Definition of Done checklist
- Marks story as "Ready for Review"
- **User**: Verify implementation
- **Optional QA Review**: User can request QA to run `review-story` task
- **Repeat**: Until all stories complete
#### 4. Quality Assurance
#### Dev Agent Workflow Details
- **QA**: Test planning and execution
- **Dev**: Bug fixes and refinements
- **PO**: Acceptance criteria validation
The Dev agent follows a strict test-driven sequential workflow:
**Key Behaviors:**
- **Story-Centric**: Works only from the story file, never loads PRD/architecture unless specified in dev notes
- **Sequential Execution**: Completes tasks one by one, marking [x] only after validations pass
- **Test-Driven**: Writes tests alongside code for every task
- **Quality Gates**: Never marks tasks complete if validations fail
- **Debug Logging**: Tracks temporary changes in the story's Debug Log table
- **File Tracking**: Maintains complete File List of all created/modified files
**Blocking Conditions:**
The Dev agent will stop and request help if:
- Story is not approved
- Requirements are ambiguous after checking the story
- Validations fail 3 times for the same task
- Critical configuration files are missing
- Automated tests or linting fails
#### 4. Quality Assurance Integration
The QA agent plays a crucial role after development:
- **When Dev marks "Ready for Review"**: Story is ready for user verification
- **User Options**:
- **Direct Approval**: If satisfied, mark story as "Done"
- **Request Changes**: Send back to Dev with specific feedback
- **Request QA Review**: Ask QA to run the `review-story` task for senior developer review
- **QA Review Process** (`/qa run review-story`):
- Reviews code as a senior developer with authority to refactor
- **Active Refactoring**: Makes improvements directly in the code
- **Comprehensive Review Focus**:
- Code architecture and design patterns
- Refactoring opportunities and code duplication
- Performance optimizations and security concerns
- Best practices and patterns
- **Standards Compliance**: Verifies adherence to:
- `docs/coding-standards.md`
- `docs/unified-project-structure.md`
- `docs/testing-strategy.md`
- **Test Coverage Review**: Can add missing tests if critical coverage is lacking
- **Documentation**: Adds comments for complex logic if missing
- **Results Documentation** in story's QA Results section:
- Code quality assessment
- Refactoring performed with WHY and HOW explanations
- Compliance check results
- Improvements checklist (completed vs. pending items)
- Security and performance findings
- Final approval status
### Understanding the SM/Dev/QA Story Workflow
The story file is the central artifact that enables seamless collaboration between the Scrum Master (SM), Developer (Dev), and Quality Assurance (QA) agents. Here's how they work together:
#### Why We Have the Scrum Master
The SM agent serves as a critical bridge between high-level planning and technical implementation:
1. **Document Synthesis**: Reads sharded PRD epics and architecture documents to extract relevant technical details
2. **Story Enrichment**: Creates self-contained stories with all technical context needed for implementation
3. **Continuous Learning**: Uses notes from previous stories to improve future story preparation
4. **Developer Efficiency**: Ensures developers have everything needed without searching multiple documents
#### The Story Creation Process
When the SM agent executes the `create-next-story` task:
1. **Loads Configuration**: Reads `core-config.yml` to understand project structure
2. **Identifies Next Story**: Sequentially processes stories from epics (1.1, 1.2, 2.1, etc.)
3. **Gathers Architecture Context**: Reads relevant sharded architecture documents based on story type:
- Backend stories: data models, API specs, database schemas
- Frontend stories: component specs, UI patterns, workflows
- Full-stack: both backend and frontend documents
4. **Reviews Previous Story**: Extracts Dev and QA notes to learn from past implementation
#### The Story Template Structure
The story template contains embedded LLM instructions for different agents:
**SM Agent Instructions**:
- Populate Dev Notes with specific technical details from architecture
- Include source references for all technical guidance
- Create detailed tasks based on architecture constraints
- Add testing requirements from testing strategy
**Dev Agent Instructions**:
- Update Debug Log References during implementation
- Document any deviations in Completion Notes
- Maintain comprehensive File List of all changes
- Track requirement changes in Change Log
**QA Agent Instructions**:
- Append review results in QA Results section
- Document refactoring performed with explanations
- Note security and performance considerations
#### How Agents Pass Information
##### SM → Dev Flow
The SM prepares the story with:
- **Dev Notes**: Specific technical guidance extracted from architecture
- **Testing Requirements**: Unit, integration, and E2E test specifications
- **Tasks/Subtasks**: Detailed implementation steps with AC mappings
##### Dev → SM Flow
The Dev agent provides feedback through:
- **Completion Notes**: Deviations or discoveries that impact future stories
- **Debug Log References**: Technical challenges and solutions
- **File List**: Complete inventory of created/modified files
- **Change Log**: Any requirement modifications during development
##### QA → SM Flow
The QA agent contributes:
- **Code Quality Assessment**: Senior developer perspective on implementation quality
- **Refactoring Performed**: Direct code improvements with:
- What was changed
- Why the change was made
- How it improves the code
- **Compliance Results**: Verification against coding standards, project structure, and testing strategy
- **Test Coverage**: Added tests for critical missing coverage
- **Security Review**: Any security concerns found and whether addressed
- **Performance Considerations**: Performance issues found and optimizations made
- **Improvements Checklist**: Items completed (marked [x]) vs. items for Dev to address (marked [ ])
- **Learning Opportunities**: Explanations for junior/mid-level developer growth
#### Example: How Notes Flow Between Stories
**Story 1.1 Completion**:
```markdown
### Completion Notes List
- Discovered that user authentication requires additional session management not specified in architecture
- Created new SessionManager service in services/auth/session-manager.ts
- Recommend updating architecture to include session management patterns
```
**Story 1.2 Creation** (SM uses the above notes):
```markdown
## Dev Notes
### Previous Story Insights
- Story 1.1 created SessionManager service for auth (services/auth/session-manager.ts)
- Consider using SessionManager for this story's user profile feature
- Architecture update pending for session management patterns
```
This continuous feedback loop ensures each story benefits from lessons learned in previous implementations.
#### QA Agent Key Principles
When the QA agent performs the review-story task:
- **Senior Developer Authority**: Reviews as a senior developer with authority to refactor directly
- **Active Improvement**: Makes code improvements rather than just identifying issues
- **Teaching Focus**: Explains all changes for developer learning and growth
- **Pragmatic Balance**: Focuses on significant improvements, not nitpicks
- **Quality Gates**: Can block story completion if critical issues exist
**QA Blocking Conditions**:
The QA will stop and request clarification if:
- Story file is incomplete or missing critical sections
- File List is empty or clearly incomplete
- No tests exist when they were required
- Code changes don't align with story requirements
- Critical architectural issues require discussion
- **Benefits of QA Review**:
- Code quality improvements and refactoring
- Knowledge transfer through documented explanations
- Catching edge cases and security issues
- Ensuring architectural consistency

# BMAD Method Guide for Windsurf
This guide walks you through the complete BMAD workflow using Windsurf as your AI-powered IDE.
## Step 1: Install BMAD in Your Project
1. Navigate to your project directory
2. Run the BMAD installer:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
```
3. When prompted:
- **Installation Type**: Choose "Complete installation (recommended)"
- **IDE**: Select "Windsurf"
This creates a `.bmad-core` folder with all agents and a `.windsurf/rules` folder with agent rules.
## Step 2: Set Up Team Fullstack in Gemini
For ideation and planning, use Google's Gemini Custom Gem with the team-fullstack configuration:
1. Open [Google gems](https://gemini.google.com/gems/view)
2. Create a new Gem - give it a title and description
3. Copy the contents of `.<install location>/<web-bundles>/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (location can vary if you chose a non default installation location for the bundles) - or just use the bundle premade from the repo dist folder.
4. Paste this content into Gemini to set up the team
### Gemini Planning Phase
In Gemini, ask the BMAD team to help you:
- **Ideate** your project concept
- **Brainstorm** features and requirements
- **Create a PRD** (Product Requirements Document)
- **Design the architecture**
Ask questions like:
- "Help me brainstorm a [type of application] that does [core functionality]"
- "Create a comprehensive PRD for this concept"
- "Design the technical architecture for this system"
Copy the PRD and architecture documents that Gemini creates into your project's `docs/` folder:
- `docs/prd.md`
- `docs/architecture.md`
## Step 3: Back to Windsurf - Document Sharding
Once you have your PRD and architecture documents in the `docs/` folder:
1. **Start a new chat in Windsurf**
2. **Load the bmad-master agent**: Type `@bmad-master`
3. **Shard the PRD**: Type `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd`
4. **Shard the architecture**: Type `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture`
This creates organized folders:
- `docs/prd/` - Contains broken down PRD sections
- `docs/architecture/` - Contains broken down architecture sections
## Step 4: Story Development Cycle
Now begin the iterative development cycle:
### Create Stories (Scrum Master)
1. **Start a new chat**
2. **Load SM agent**: Type `@sm`
3. **Create story**: Type `*create` (this runs the create-next-story task)
4. **Review the generated story**
5. **If approved**: Set story status to "Approved" in the story file
### Implement Stories (Developer)
1. **Start a new chat**
2. **Load Dev agent**: Type `@dev`
3. **The agent will ask which story to implement**
4. **Follow the development tasks** the agent provides
5. **When story is complete**: Mark status as "Done"
### Repeat the Cycle
1. **Start a new chat with SM agent** (`@sm`)
2. **Create next story**: Type `*create`
3. **Review and approve**
4. **Start new chat with Dev agent** (`@dev`)
5. **Implement the story**
6. **Repeat until project complete**
## Available Agent Rules in Windsurf
All BMAD agents are available as Windsurf rules (use `@` prefix):
- `@bmad-master` - Universal task executor
- `@sm` - Scrum Master for story creation
- `@dev` - Full-stack developer for implementation
- `@architect` - Solution architect for design
- `@pm` - Product manager for planning
- `@analyst` - Business analyst for requirements
- `@qa` - QA specialist for testing
- `@po` - Product owner for prioritization
- `@ux-expert` - UX specialist for design
## Windsurf-Specific Features
- **Agent rules are stored in**: `.windsurf/rules/` as `.md` files
- **Rule activation**: Rules activate when you mention `@agent-name` in chat
- **Collaborative workflow**: Windsurf's collaborative features work well with BMAD's agent-switching pattern
- **Context awareness**: Agents have access to your project context
## Key Workflow Principles
1. **Always start new chats** when switching agents to avoid context confusion
2. **Use Gemini for initial planning** and ideation with the team-fullstack bundle
3. **Use bmad-master for document management** (sharding, templates, etc.)
4. **Follow the SM → Dev cycle** for consistent story development
5. **Review and approve stories** before implementation begins
## Tips for Success
- **Keep chats focused**: Each chat should have one agent and one primary task
- **Use \*help command**: Every agent supports `*help` to see available commands
- **Review generated content**: Always review and approve stories before marking them ready
- **Maintain status updates**: Keep story statuses current (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
- **Leverage Windsurf's collaboration**: Use the collaborative features for team reviews
This workflow ensures systematic, AI-assisted development following agile principles with clear handoffs between planning, story creation, and implementation phases.
