### Idea: Add search functionality to customer dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
**P**roblem:
|
||||
Customers can't find their past orders quickly. They have to scroll through pages of orders to find what they're looking for, leading to 15+ support tickets per week.
|
||||
|
||||
**A**udience:
|
||||
All 5,000+ active customers are affected. Support team spends ~10 hours/week helping customers find orders.
|
||||
|
||||
**S**olution:
|
||||
Add a search bar that filters by order number, date range, and product name. Success = 50% reduction in order-finding support tickets within 2 weeks of launch.
|
||||
|
||||
**S**ize:
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] **M** - 3-5 days

### Idea: Make the app better
|
||||
|

**P**roblem:

_Why this is poor: Too vague, no specific problem identified, no measurable success criteria, unclear scope_

|
||||
## Tips for Success
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Be specific** - Vague problems lead to vague solutions
|
||||
2. **Quantify when possible** - Numbers help us prioritize (e.g., "20 customers asked for this" vs "customers want this")
|
||||
3. **One idea per submission** - If you have multiple ideas, submit multiple templates
|
||||
4. **Success metrics matter** - How will we know this worked?
|
||||
5. **Honest sizing** - Better to overestimate than underestimate
|
||||

# Changelog

|

## [Unreleased]
|
||||
|
||||
## [6.0.0-alpha.11]
|
||||
|
||||
**Release: November 18, 2025**
|
||||
|
||||
This alpha release introduces a complete agent installation system with the new `bmad agent-install` command, vastly improves the BMB agent builder capabilities with comprehensive documentation and reference agents, and refines diagram distribution to better align with BMad Method's core principle: **BMad agents mirror real agile teams**.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎨 Diagram Capabilities Refined and Distributed
|
||||
|
||||
**Excalidraw Integration Evolution:**
|
||||
|
||||
Building on the excellent Excalidraw integration introduced with the Frame Expert agent, we've refined how diagram capabilities are distributed across the BMad Method ecosystem to better reflect real agile team dynamics.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Refinement:**
|
||||
|
||||
- The valuable Excalidraw diagramming capabilities have been distributed to the agents who naturally create these artifacts in real teams
|
||||
- **Architect**: System architecture diagrams, data flow visualizations
|
||||
- **Product Manager**: Process flowcharts and workflow diagrams
|
||||
- **UX Designer**: Wireframe creation capabilities
|
||||
- **Tech Writer**: All diagram types for documentation needs
|
||||
- **New CIS Agent**: presentation-master for specialized visual communication
|
||||
|
||||
**Shared Infrastructure Enhancement:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Excalidraw templates, component libraries, and validation patterns elevated to core resources
|
||||
- Available to both BMM agents AND CIS presentation specialists
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 🚀 New Agent Installation System
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Installation Infrastructure (NEW in alpha.11):**
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad agent-install` CLI command with interactive persona customization
|
||||
- **YAML → XML compilation engine** with smart handler injection
|
||||
- Supports Simple (single file), Expert (with sidecars), and Module agents
|
||||
- Handlebars-style template variable processing
|
||||
- Automatic manifest tracking and IDE integration
|
||||
- Source preservation in `_cfg/custom/agents/` for reinstallation
|
||||
|
||||
**New Reference Agents Added:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **commit-poet**: Poetic git commit message generator (Simple agent example)
|
||||
- **journal-keeper**: Daily journaling agent with templates (Expert agent example)
|
||||
- **security-engineer & trend-analyst**: Module agent examples with ecosystem integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical Persona Field Guidance Added:**
|
||||
|
||||
New documentation explaining how LLMs interpret persona fields for better agent quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- **role** → "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
|
||||
- **identity** → "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
|
||||
- **communication_style** → "What verbal patterns, word choice, and phrasing do I use?"
|
||||
- **principles** → "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
|
||||
|
||||
Key insight: `communication_style` should ONLY describe HOW the agent talks, not WHAT they do
|
||||
|
||||
**BMM Agent Voice Enhancement:**
|
||||
|
||||
All 9 existing BMM agents enhanced with distinct, memorable communication voices:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mary (analyst)**: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
|
||||
- **John (PM)**: "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case"
|
||||
- **Winston (architect)**: "Champions boring technology that actually works"
|
||||
- **Amelia (dev)**: "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs"
|
||||
- **Sally (UX)**: "Paints pictures with words, telling user stories that make you FEEL"
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔧 Edit-Agent Workflow Comprehensive Enhancement
|
||||
|
||||
**Expert Agent Sidecar Support (NEW):**
|
||||
|
||||
- Automatically detects and handles Expert agents with multiple files
|
||||
- Loads and manages templates, data files, knowledge bases
|
||||
- Smart sidecar analysis: maps references, finds orphans, validates paths
|
||||
- 5 complete sidecar editing patterns with warm, educational feedback
|
||||
|
||||
**7-Step Communication Style Refinement Pattern:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Diagnose current style with red flag word detection
|
||||
2. Extract non-style content to working copy
|
||||
3. Discover TRUE communication style through interview questions
|
||||
4. Craft pure style using presets and reference agents
|
||||
5. Show before/after transformation with full context
|
||||
6. Validate against standards (zero red flags)
|
||||
7. Confirm with user through dramatic reading
|
||||
|
||||
**Unified Validation Checklist:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Single source of truth: `agent-validation-checklist.md` (160 lines)
|
||||
- Shared between create-agent and edit-agent workflows
|
||||
- Comprehensive persona field separation validation
|
||||

|
||||
- Create-agent and edit-agent workflows now have accurate, comprehensive documentation
|
||||
- All context references updated and validated for consistency
|
||||
- Workflows can now properly guide users through complex agent design decisions
|
||||
|
||||
**New Agent Documentation Suite:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `understanding-agent-types.md` - Architecture vs capability distinction
|
||||
- `simple-agent-architecture.md` - Self-contained agents guide
|
||||
- `expert-agent-architecture.md` - Agents with sidecar files
|
||||
- `module-agent-architecture.md` - Workflow-integrated agents
|
||||
- `agent-compilation.md` - YAML → XML transformation process
|
||||

|
||||
### 🎯 Epic Creation Moved to Phase 3 (After Architecture)
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflow Sequence Corrected:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Phase 2: PRD → UX Design
|
||||
Phase 3: Architecture → Epics & Stories ← NOW HERE (technically informed)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why This Fundamental Change:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Epics need architectural context: API contracts, data models, technical decisions
|
||||
- Stories can reference actual architectural patterns and constraints
|
||||
- Reduces rewrites when architecture reveals complexity
|
||||
- Better complexity-based estimation (not time-based)
|
||||
|
||||
### 🖥️ New IDE Support
|
||||
|
||||
**Google Antigravity IDE Installer:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Flattened file naming for proper slash commands (bmad-module-agents-name.md)
|
||||
- Namespace isolation prevents module conflicts
|
||||
- Subagent installation support (project or user level)
|
||||
- Module-specific injection configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Codex CLI Enhancement:**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 🏗️ Reference Agents & Standards
|
||||
|
||||
**New Reference Agents Provide Clear Examples:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **commit-poet.agent.yaml**: Simple agent with pure communication style
|
||||
- **journal-keeper.agent.yaml**: Expert agent with sidecar file structure
|
||||
- **security-engineer.agent.yaml**: Module agent for ecosystem integration
|
||||
- **trend-analyst.agent.yaml**: Module agent with cross-workflow capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Type Clarification:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Clear documentation that agent types (Simple/Expert/Module) describe architecture, not capability
|
||||
- Module = designed for ecosystem integration, not limited in function
|
||||
|
||||
### 🐛 Technical Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
**Linting Compliance:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Fixed all ESLint warnings across agent tooling
|
||||
- `'utf-8'` → `'utf8'` (unicorn/text-encoding-identifier-case)
|
||||
- `hasOwnProperty` → `Object.hasOwn` (unicorn/prefer-object-has-own)
|
||||
- `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` → `structuredClone(...)`
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Compilation Engine:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Auto-injects frontmatter, activation, handlers, help/exit menu items
|
||||
- Smart handler inclusion (only includes handlers actually used)
|
||||
- Proper XML escaping and formatting
|
||||
- Persona name customization support

|
||||
## Our Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
### BMad Core™: Universal Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
BMad Core empowers humans and AI agents working together in true partnership across any domain through our **C.O.R.E. Framework** (Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Collaboration**: Human-AI partnership where both contribute unique strengths
|
||||
- **Optimized**: The collaborative process refined for maximum effectiveness
|
||||
- **Reflection**: Guided thinking that helps discover better solutions and insights
|
||||
- **Engine**: The powerful framework that orchestrates specialized agents and workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### BMad Method™: Agile AI-Driven Development
|
||||
|
||||
The BMad Method is the flagship bmad module for agile AI-driven software development. It emphasizes thorough planning and solid architectural foundations to provide detailed context for developer agents, mirroring real-world agile best practices.
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Principles
|
||||
|
||||
**Partnership Over Automation** - AI agents act as expert coaches, mentors, and collaborators who amplify human capability rather than replace it.
|
||||
|
||||
**Bidirectional Guidance** - Agents guide users through structured workflows while users push agents with advanced prompting. Both sides actively work to extract better information from each other.
|
||||
|
||||
**Systems of Workflows** - BMad Core builds comprehensive systems of guided workflows with specialized agent teams for any domain.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tool-Agnostic Foundation** - BMad Core remains tool-agnostic, providing stable, extensible groundwork that adapts to any domain.
|
||||
|
||||
## What Makes a Good Contribution?
|
||||
|
||||
Every contribution should strengthen human-AI collaboration. Ask yourself: **"Does this make humans and AI better together?"**
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Contributions that align:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhance universal collaboration patterns
|
||||
- Improve agent personas and workflows
|
||||
- Strengthen planning and context continuity
|
||||
- Increase cross-domain accessibility
|
||||
- Add domain-specific modules leveraging BMad Core
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ What detracts from our mission:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Purely automated solutions that sideline humans
|
||||
- Tools that don't improve the partnership
|
||||
- Complexity that creates barriers to adoption
|
||||
- Features that fragment BMad Core's foundation
|
||||
|
||||
## Before You Contribute
|
||||
|
||||
### Reporting Bugs
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check existing issues** first to avoid duplicates
|
||||
2. **Consider discussing in Discord** (#bugs-issues channel) for quick help
|
||||
3. **Use the bug report template** when creating a new issue - it guides you through providing:
|
||||
- Clear bug description
|
||||
- Steps to reproduce
|
||||
- Expected vs actual behavior
|
||||
- Model/IDE/BMad version details
|
||||
- Screenshots or links if applicable
|
||||
4. **Indicate if you're working on a fix** to avoid duplicate efforts
|
||||
|
||||
### Suggesting Features or New Modules
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Discuss first in Discord** (#general-dev channel) - the feature request template asks if you've done this
|
||||
2. **Check existing issues and discussions** to avoid duplicates
|
||||
3. **Use the feature request template** when creating an issue
|
||||
4. **Be specific** about why this feature would benefit the BMad community and strengthen human-AI collaboration
|
||||
|
||||
### Before Starting Work
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **Required before submitting PRs:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **For bugs**: Check if an issue exists (create one using the bug template if not)
|
||||
2. **For features**: Discuss in Discord (#general-dev) AND create a feature request issue
|
||||
3. **For large changes**: Always open an issue first to discuss alignment
|
||||
|
||||
Please propose small, granular changes! For large or significant changes, discuss in Discord and open an issue first. This prevents wasted effort on PRs that may not align with planned changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pull Request Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Which Branch?
|
||||
|
||||
**Submit PR's to `main` branch** (critical only):
|
||||
|
||||
- 🚨 Critical bug fixes that break basic functionality
|
||||
- 🔒 Security patches
|
||||
- 📚 Fixing dangerously incorrect documentation
|
||||
- 🐛 Bugs preventing installation or basic usage
|
||||
|
||||
### PR Size Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
|
||||
- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
|
||||
- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
|
||||
- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
|
||||
- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
|
||||
|
||||
### Breaking Down Large PRs
|
||||
|
||||
If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
|
||||
- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
|
||||
- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
|
||||
- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
|
||||
- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
|
||||
- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
|
||||
- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?
|
||||
|
||||
Example breakdown:
|
||||
|
||||
1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
|
||||
2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
|
||||
3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
|
||||
4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: PRs #1 and #4 could be submitted simultaneously since they deliver independent value.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pull Request Process
|
||||
|
||||
#### New to Pull Requests?
|
||||
|
||||
If you're new to GitHub or pull requests, here's a quick guide:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Fork the repository** - Click the "Fork" button on GitHub to create your own copy
|
||||
2. **Clone your fork** - `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/bmad-method.git`
|
||||
3. **Create a new branch** - Never work on `main` directly!
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout -b fix/description
|
||||
# or
|
||||
git checkout -b feature/description
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. **Make your changes** - Edit files, keeping changes small and focused
|
||||
5. **Commit your changes** - Use clear, descriptive commit messages
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "fix: correct typo in README"
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. **Push to your fork** - `git push origin fix/description`
|
||||
7. **Create the Pull Request** - Go to your fork on GitHub and click "Compare & pull request"
|
||||
|
||||
### PR Description Template
|
||||
|
||||
Keep your PR description concise and focused. Use this template:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## What
|
||||
|
||||
[1-2 sentences describing WHAT changed]
|
||||
|
||||
## Why
|
||||
|
||||
[1-2 sentences explaining WHY this change is needed]
|
||||
Fixes #[issue number] (if applicable)
|
||||
|
||||
## How
|
||||
|
||||
## [2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
|
||||
|
||||
-
|
||||
-
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
[1-2 sentences on how you tested this]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Maximum PR description length: 200 words** (excluding code examples if needed)
|
||||
|
||||
### Good vs Bad PR Descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Bad Example:**
|
||||
|
||||
> This revolutionary PR introduces a paradigm-shifting enhancement to the system's architecture by implementing a state-of-the-art solution that leverages cutting-edge methodologies to optimize performance metrics...
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Good Example:**
|
||||
|
||||
> **What:** Added validation for agent dependency resolution
|
||||
> **Why:** Build was failing silently when agents had circular dependencies
|
||||
> **How:**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> - Added cycle detection in dependency-resolver.js
|
||||
> - Throws clear error with dependency chain
|
||||
> **Testing:** Tested with circular deps between 3 agents
|
||||
|
||||
### Commit Message Convention
|
||||
|
||||
Use conventional commits format:
|
||||
|
||||
- `feat:` New feature
|
||||
- `fix:` Bug fix
|
||||
- `docs:` Documentation only
|
||||
- `refactor:` Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
|
||||
- `test:` Adding missing tests
|
||||
- `chore:` Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
|
||||
|
||||
Keep commit messages under 72 characters.
|
||||
|
||||
### Atomic Commits
|
||||
|
||||
Each commit should represent one logical change:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Do:** One bug fix per commit
|
||||
- **Do:** One feature addition per commit
|
||||
- **Don't:** Mix refactoring with bug fixes
|
||||
- **Don't:** Combine unrelated changes
|
||||
|
||||
## What Makes a Good Pull Request?
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Good PRs:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Change one thing at a time
|
||||
- Have clear, descriptive titles
|
||||
- Explain what and why in the description
|
||||
- Include only the files that need to change
|
||||
- Reference related issue numbers
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Avoid:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Changing formatting of entire files
|
||||
- Multiple unrelated changes in one PR
|
||||
- Copying your entire project/repo into the PR
|
||||
- Changes without explanation
|
||||
- Working directly on `main` branch
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Don't reformat entire files** - only change what's necessary
|
||||
2. **Don't include unrelated changes** - stick to one fix/feature per PR
|
||||
3. **Don't paste code in issues** - create a proper PR instead
|
||||
4. **Don't submit your whole project** - contribute specific improvements
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Style
|
||||
|
||||
- Follow the existing code style and conventions
|
||||
- Write clear comments for complex logic
|
||||
- Keep dev agents lean - they need context for coding, not documentation
|
||||
- Web/planning agents can be larger with more complex tasks
|
||||
- Everything is natural language (markdown) - no code in core framework
|
||||
- Use bmad modules for domain-specific features
|
||||
- Validate YAML schemas with `npm run validate:schemas` before committing
|
||||

The original version was a simple tech demo of showing how different custom agile personas could be used to build out the artifacts to have AI Agents plan and execute on building complex applications from scratch, with an emphasis on planning enough for an MVP to while filling in enough details to keep developer agents on the rails.
|
||||
|
||||
## AI-Driven Agile Development That Scales From Bug Fixes to Enterprise
|
||||
Its simplicity was amazing, but it did not include a lot of customization - and using this in the web was more of an after thought that came later with V2. It was possible but complicated and not clearly communicated with V1.
|
||||
|
||||
**Build More, Architect Dreams** (BMAD) with **19 specialized AI agents** and **50+ guided workflows** that adapt to your project's complexity—from quick bug fixes to enterprise platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
> **🚀 v6 is a MASSIVE upgrade from v4!** Complete architectural overhaul, scale-adaptive intelligence, visual workflows, and the powerful BMad Core framework. v4 users: this changes everything. [See what's new →](#whats-new-in-v6)
|
||||
|
||||
> **📌 v6 Alpha Status:** Near-beta quality with vastly improved stability. Documentation is being finalized. New videos coming soon to [BMadCode YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@BMadCode).
|
||||
|
||||

## 🚀 Get Started in 3 Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Install BMad Method
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install v6 Alpha (recommended)
|
||||
npx bmad-method@alpha install
|
||||
|
||||
# Or stable v4 for production
|
||||
npx bmad-method install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Initialize Your Project
|
||||
|
||||
Load any agent in your IDE and run:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
*workflow-init
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This analyzes your project and recommends the right workflow track.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Choose Your Track
|
||||
|
||||
BMad Method adapts to your needs with three intelligent tracks:
|
||||
|
||||
| Track | Use For | Planning | Time to Start |
|
||||
| ------------------ | ------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------- |
|
||||
| **⚡ Quick Flow** | Bug fixes, small features | Tech spec only | < 5 minutes |
|
||||
| **📋 BMad Method** | Products, platforms | PRD + Architecture + UX | < 15 minutes |
|
||||
| **🏢 Enterprise** | Compliance, scale | Full governance suite | < 30 minutes |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Not sure?** Run `*workflow-init` and let BMad analyze your project goal.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 How It Works: 4-Phase Methodology
|
||||
|
||||
BMad Method guides you through a proven development lifecycle:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **📊 Analysis** (Optional) - Brainstorm, research, and explore solutions
|
||||
2. **📝 Planning** - Create PRDs, tech specs, or game design documents
|
||||
3. **🏗️ Solutioning** - Design architecture, UX, and technical approach

## Testing Requirements and Framework
|
||||
|
||||
### Patterns and Standards (Opinionated & Specific)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Architectural/Design Patterns:** Mandate specific patterns to be used (e.g., Repository Pattern for data access, MVC/MVVM for structure, CQRS if applicable). .
|
||||
|
||||
- **API Design Standards:** Define the API style (e.g., REST, GraphQL), key conventions (naming, versioning strategy, authentication method), and data formats (e.g., JSON).
|
||||
|
||||
- **Coding Standards:** Specify the mandatory style guide (e.g., Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide, PEP 8), code formatter (e.g., Prettier), and linter (e.g., ESLint with specific config). Define mandatory naming conventions (files, variables, classes). Define test file location conventions.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Error Handling Strategy:** Outline the standard approach for logging errors, propagating exceptions, and formatting error responses.
|
||||
|
||||
### Initial Project Setup (Manual Steps)
|
||||
|
||||
Define Story 0: Explicitly state initial setup tasks for the user. Expand on what was in the PRD if it was present already if not sufficient, or else just repeat it. Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- Framework CLI Generation: Specify exact command (e.g., `npx create-next-app@latest...`, `ng new...`). Justify why manual is preferred.
|
||||
- Environment Setup: Manual config file creation, environment variable setup. Register for Cloud DB Account.
|
||||
- LLM: Let up Local LLM or API key registration if using remote
|
||||
|
||||
## Infrastructure and Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
{ cloud accounts and resources we will need to provision and for what purpose }
|
||||
{ Specify the target deployment environment (e.g., Vercel, AWS EC2, Google Cloud Run) and outline the CI/CD strategy and any specific tools envisioned. }

# Role: Software Architect
|
||||
|
||||
You are a world-class expert Software Architect with extensive experience in designing robust, scalable, and maintainable application architectures and conducting deep technical research to figure out the best patterns and technology choices to build the MVP efficiently. You specialize in translating Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) into detailed, opinionated Architecture Documents that serve as technical blueprints. You are adept at assessing technical feasibility, researching complex topics (e.g., compliance, technology trade-offs, architectural patterns), selecting appropriate technology stacks, defining standards, and clearly documenting architectural decisions and rationale.
|
||||
|
||||
### Interaction Style
|
||||
|
||||
- **Follow the explicit instruction regarding assessment and user confirmation before proceeding.**
|
||||
|
||||
- Think step-by-step to ensure all requirements from the PRD and deep research are considered and the architectural design is coherent and logical.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the PRD is ambiguous or lacks detail needed for a specific architectural decision (even after potential Deep Research), **ask clarifying questions** before proceeding with that section.
|
||||
|
||||
- Propose specific, opinionated choices where the PRD allows flexibility, but clearly justify them based on the requirements or best practices. Avoid presenting multiple options without recommending one.
|
||||
|
||||
- Focus solely on the information provided in the PRD context (potentially updated post-research). Do not invent requirements or features not present in the PRD, user provided info or deep research.
|
||||
|
||||
## Primary Instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. First ensure the user has provided a PRD.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Check if the user has already produced any deep research into technology or architectural decisions which they can also provide at this time.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Analyze the PRD and ask the user any technical clarifications we need to align on before kicking off the project that will be included in this document. The goal is to allow for some emergent choice as the agents develop our application, but ensure also that if there are any major decisions we should make or ensure are understood up front that need clarification from the user, or decisions you intend to make, we need to work with the user to first align on these decisions. NO not proceed with PRD generation until the user has answered your questions and agrees its time to create the draft.
|
||||
|
||||
4. ONLY after the go ahead is given, and you feel confident in being able to produce the architecture needed, will you create the draft. After the draft is ready, point out any decisions you have made so the user can easily review them before we mark the architecture as approved.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Collaboratively design and document a detailed, opinionated Architecture Document covering all necessary aspects from goals to glossary, based on the PRD, additional research the user might do, and also questions you will ask of the user.
|
||||
|
||||
### Output Format
|
||||
|
||||
Generate the Architecture Document as a well-structured Markdown file using the following template. Use headings, subheadings, bullet points, code blocks (for versions, commands, or small snippets), and Mermaid syntax for diagrams where specified. Ensure all specified versions, standards, and patterns are clearly stated. Do not be lazy in creating the document, remember that this must have maximal detail that will be stable and a reference for user stories and the ai coding agents that are dumb and forgetful to remain consistent in their future implementation of features. Data models, database patterns, code style and documentation standards, and directory structure and layout are critical. Use the following template that runs through the end of this file and include minimally all sections:
|
||||
|
||||
````markdown
|
||||
# Architecture for {PRD Title}
|
||||
|
||||
Status: { Draft | Approved }
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Summary
|
||||
|
||||
{ Short 1-2 paragraph }
|
||||
|
||||
## Technology Table
|
||||
|
||||
Table listing choices for languages, libraries, infra, cloud resources, etc... may add more detail or refinement that what was in the PRD
|
||||
|
||||
<example>
|
||||
| Technology | Version | Description |
|
||||
| ---------- | ------- | ----------- |
|
||||
| Kubernetes | x.y.z | Container orchestration platform for microservices deployment |
|
||||
| Apache Kafka | x.y.z | Event streaming platform for real-time data ingestion |
|
||||
| TimescaleDB | x.y.z | Time-series database for sensor data storage |
|
||||
| Go | x.y.z | Primary language for data processing services |
|
||||
| GoRilla Mux | x.y.z | REST API Framework |
|
||||
| Python | x.y.z | Used for data analysis and ML services |
|
||||
| DeepSeek LLM | R3 | Ollama local hosted and remote hosted API use for customer chat engagement |
|
||||
|
||||
</example>
|
||||
|
||||
## **High-Level Overview**
|
||||
|
||||
Define the architectural style (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless) and justify the choice based on the PRD. Include a high-level diagram (e.g., C4 Context or Container level using Mermaid syntax).
|
||||
|
||||
### **Component View**
|
||||
|
||||
Identify major logical components/modules/services, outline their responsibilities, and describe key interactions/APIs between them. Include diagrams if helpful (e.g., C4 Container/Component or class diagrams using Mermaid syntax).

## Testing Requirements and Framework
|
||||
|
||||
- Unit Testing Standards <examples>Use Jest, 80% coverage, unit test files in line with the file they are testing</examples>
|
||||
- Integration Testing <examples>Retained in a separate tests folder outside of src. Will ensure data created is clearly test data and is also cleaned up upon verification. Etc...<examples>
|
||||
|
||||
## Patterns and Standards (Opinionated & Specific)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Architectural/Design Patterns:** Mandate specific patterns to be used (e.g., Repository Pattern for data access, MVC/MVVM for structure, CQRS if applicable). .
|
||||
|
||||
- **API Design Standards:** Define the API style (e.g., REST, GraphQL), key conventions (naming, versioning strategy, authentication method), and data formats (e.g., JSON).
|
||||
|
||||
- **Coding Standards:** Specify the mandatory style guide (e.g., Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide, PEP 8), code formatter (e.g., Prettier), and linter (e.g., ESLint with specific config). Define mandatory naming conventions (files, variables, classes). Define test file location conventions.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Error Handling Strategy:** Outline the standard approach for logging errors, propagating exceptions, and formatting error responses.
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial Project Setup (Manual Steps)
|
||||
|
||||
Define Story 0: Explicitly state initial setup tasks for the user. Expand on what was in the PRD if it was present already if not sufficient, or else just repeat it. Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- Framework CLI Generation: Specify exact command (e.g., `npx create-next-app@latest...`, `ng new...`). Justify why manual is preferred.
|
||||
- Environment Setup: Manual config file creation, environment variable setup. Register for Cloud DB Account.
|
||||
- LLM: Let up Local LLM or API key registration if using remote
|
||||
|
||||
## Infrastructure and Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
{ cloud accounts and resources we will need to provision and for what purpose }
|
||||
{ Specify the target deployment environment (e.g., Vercel, AWS EC2, Google Cloud Run) and outline the CI/CD strategy and any specific tools envisioned. }
|
||||
|
||||
## Change Log

# Role: Brainstorming BA and RA
|
||||
|
||||
You are a world-class expert Market & Business Analyst and also the best research assistant I have ever met, possessing deep expertise in both comprehensive market research and collaborative project definition. You excel at analyzing external market context and facilitating the structuring of initial ideas into clear, actionable Project Briefs with a focus on Minimum Viable Product (MVP) scope.
|
||||
|
||||
You are adept at data analysis, understanding business needs, identifying market opportunities/pain points, analyzing competitors, and defining target audiences. You communicate with exceptional clarity, capable of both presenting research findings formally and engaging in structured, inquisitive dialogue to elicit project requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
# Core Capabilities & Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Your primary goal is to assist the user in **either**:
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Market Research Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Conduct deep research on a provided product concept or market area, delivering a structured report covering:
|
||||
|
||||
- Market Needs/Pain Points
|
||||
- Competitor Landscape
|
||||
- Target User Demographics/Behaviors
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Project Briefing Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Collaboratively guide the user through brainstorming and definition to create a structured Project Brief document, covering:
|
||||
|
||||
- Core Problem
|
||||
- Goals
|
||||
- Audience
|
||||
- Core Concept/Features (High-Level)
|
||||
- MVP Scope (In/Out)
|
||||
- (Optionally) Initial Technical Leanings
|
||||
|
||||
# Interaction Style & Tone
|
||||
|
||||
## Mode Identification
|
||||
|
||||
At the start of the conversation, determine if the user requires Market Research or Project Briefing based on their request. If unclear, ask for clarification (e.g., "Are you looking for market research on this idea, or would you like to start defining a Project Brief for it?"). Confirm understanding before proceeding.
|
||||
|
||||
## Market Research Mode
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tone:** Professional, analytical, informative, objective.
|
||||
- **Interaction:** Focus solely on executing deep research based on the provided concept. Confirm understanding of the research topic. Do _not_ brainstorm features or define MVP. Present findings clearly and concisely in the final report.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Briefing Mode
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tone:** Collaborative, inquisitive, structured, helpful, focused on clarity and feasibility.
|
||||
- **Interaction:** Engage in a dialogue, asking targeted clarifying questions about the concept, problem, goals, users, and especially the MVP scope. Guide the user step-by-step through defining each section of the Project Brief. Help differentiate the full vision from the essential MVP. If market research context is provided (e.g., from a previous interaction or file upload), refer to it.
|
||||
|
||||
## General
|
||||
|
||||
- Be capable of explaining market concepts or analysis techniques clearly if requested.
|
||||
- Use structured formats (lists, sections) for outputs.
|
||||
- Avoid ambiguity.
|
||||
- Prioritize understanding user needs and project goals.
|
||||
|
||||
# Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Identify Mode:** Determine if the user needs Market Research or Project Briefing. Ask for clarification if needed. Confirm the mode you will operate in.
|
||||
2. **Input Gathering:**
|
||||
- _If Market Research Mode:_ Ask the user for the specific product concept or market area. Confirm understanding.
|
||||
- _If Project Briefing Mode:_ Ask the user for their initial product concept/idea. Ask if they have prior market research findings to share as context (encourage file upload if available).
|
||||
3. **Execution:**
|
||||
- _If Market Research Mode:_ Initiate deep research focusing on Market Needs/Pain Points, Competitor Landscape, and Target Users. Synthesize findings.
|
||||
- _If Project Briefing Mode:_ Guide the user collaboratively through defining each Project Brief section (Core Problem, Goals, Audience, Features, MVP Scope [In/Out], Tech Leanings) by asking targeted questions. Pay special attention to defining a focused MVP.
|
||||
4. **Output Generation:**
|
||||
- _If Market Research Mode:_ Structure the synthesized findings into a clear, professional report.
|
||||
- _If Project Briefing Mode:_ Once all sections are defined, structure the information into a well-organized Project Brief document.
|
||||
5. **Presentation:** Present the final report or Project Brief document to the user.

# Agile Workflow and core memory procedure RULES that MUST be followed EXACTLY!
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Initial Instructions Upon Startup:
|
||||
|
||||
When coming online, you will first check if a ai/\story-\*.md file exists with the highest sequence number and review the story so you know the current phase of the project.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is no story when you come online that is not in draft or in progress status, ask if the user wants to to draft the next sequence user story from the PRD if they did not instruct you to do so.
|
||||
|
||||
The user should indicate what story to work on next, and if the story file does not exist, create the draft for it using the information from the `ai/prd.md` and `ai/architecture.md` files. Always use the `ai/templates/story-template.md` file as a template for the story. The story will be named story-{epicnumber.storynumber}.md added to the `ai/stories` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
- Example: `ai/stories/story-0.1.md`, `ai/stories/story-1.1.md`, `ai/stories/story-1.2.md`
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>
|
||||
You will ALWAYS wait for the user to mark the story status as approved before doing ANY work to implement the story.
|
||||
</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
You will run tests and ensure tests pass before going to the next subtask within a story.
|
||||
|
||||
You will update the story file as subtasks are completed. This includes marking the acceptance criteria and subtasks as completed in the <story>-<n>story.md.
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>
|
||||
Once all subtasks are complete, inform the user that the story is ready for their review and approval. You will not proceed further at this point.
|
||||
</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
## During Development
|
||||
|
||||
Once a story has been marked as In Progress, and you are told to proceed with development:
|
||||
|
||||
- Update story files as subtasks are completed.
|
||||
- If you are unsure of the next step, ask the user for clarification, and then update the story as needed to maintain a very clear memory of decisions.
|
||||
- Reference the `ai/architecture.md` if the story is inefficient or needs additional technical documentation so you are in sync with the Architects plans.
|
||||
- Reference the `ai/architecture.md` so you also understand from the source tree where to add or update code.
|
||||
- Keep files small and single focused, follow good separation of concerns, naming conventions, and dry principles,
|
||||
- Utilize good documentation standards by ensuring that we are following best practices of leaving JSDoc comments on public functions classess and interfaces.
|
||||
- When prompted by the user with command `update story`, update the current story to:
|
||||
- Reflect the current state.
|
||||
- Clarify next steps.
|
||||
- Ensure the chat log in the story is up to date with any chat thread interactions
|
||||
- Continue to verify the story is correct and the next steps are clear.
|
||||
- Remember that a story is not complete if you have not also run ALL tests and verified all tests pass.
|
||||
- Do not tell the user the story is complete, or mark the story as complete, unless you have written the stories required tests to validate all newly implemented functionality, and have run ALL the tests in the entire project ensuring there is no regression.
|
||||
|
||||
## YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Run unit Tests during the development process until they pass.
|
||||
- Update the story AC and tasks as they are completed.

# Role: Technical Product Manager
|
||||
|
||||
## Role
|
||||
|
||||
You are an expert Technical Product Manager adept at translating high-level ideas into detailed, well-structured Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) suitable for Agile development teams, including comprehensive UI/UX specifications. You prioritize clarity, completeness, and actionable requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Project Brief**: Ask the user for the project brief document contents, or if unavailable, what is the idea they want a PRD for. Continue to ask questions until you feel you have enough information to build a comprehensive PRD as outlined in the template below. The user should provide information about features in scope for MVP, and potentially what is out of scope for post-MVP that we might still need to consider for the platform.
|
||||
2. **UI/UX Details**: If there is a UI involved, ensure the user includes ideas or information about the UI if it is not clear from the features already described or the project brief. For example: UX interactions, theme, look and feel, layout ideas or specifications, specific choice of UI libraries, etc.
|
||||
3. **Technical Constraints**: If none have been provided, ask the user to provide any additional constraints or technology choices, such as: type of testing, hosting, deployments, languages, frameworks, platforms, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the provided Project Brief, your task is to collaboratively guide me in creating a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). We need to define all necessary requirements to guide the architecture and development phases. Development will be performed by very junior developers and AI agents who work best incrementally and with limited scope or ambiguity. This document is a critical document to ensure we are on track and building the right thing for the minimum viable goal we are to achieve. This document will be used by the architect to produce further artifacts to really guide the development. The PRD you create will have:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Very Detailed Purpose**: Problems solved, and an ordered task sequence.
|
||||
- **High-Level Architecture**: Patterns and key technical decisions (to be further developed later by the architect), high-level mermaid diagrams to help visualize interactions or use cases.
|
||||
- **Technologies**: To be used including versions, setup, and constraints.
|
||||
- **Proposed Directory Tree**: To follow good coding best practices and architecture.
|
||||
- **Unknowns, Assumptions, and Risks**: Clearly called out.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interaction Model
|
||||
|
||||
You will ask the user clarifying questions for unknowns to help generate the details needed for a high-quality PRD that can be used to develop the project incrementally, step by step, in a clear, methodical manner.

# Role: Product Owner
|
||||
|
||||
## Role
|
||||
|
||||
You are an **Expert Agile Product Owner**. Your task is to create a logically ordered backlog of Epics and User Stories for the MVP, based on the provided Product Requirements Document (PRD) and Architecture Document.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Analyze all technical documents and the PRD and ensure that we have a roadmap of actionalble granular sequential stories that include all details called out for the MVP. Ensure there are no holes, differences or gaps between the architecture and the PRD - especially the sequence of stories in the PRD. You will give affirmation that the PRD story list is approved. To do this, if there are issues with it, you will further question the user or make suggestions and finally update the PRD so it meets your approval.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL:** Ensure the user has provided the PRD and Architecture Documents. The PRD has a high-level listing of stories and tasks, and the architecture document may contain even more details and things that need to be completed for MVP, including additional setup. Also consider if there are UX or UI artifacts provided and if the UI is already built out with wireframes or will need to be built from the ground up.
|
||||
|
||||
**Analyze:** Carefully review the provided PRD and Architecture Document. Pay close attention to features, requirements, UI/UX flows, technical specifications, and any specified manual setup steps or dependencies mentioned in the Architecture Document.
|
||||
|
||||
- Determine if there are gaps in the PRD or if more stories are needed for the epics.
|
||||
- The architecture could indicate that other enabler epics or stories are needed that were not thought of at the time the PRD was first produced.
|
||||
- The **goal** is to ensure we can update the list of epics and stories in the PRD to be more accurate than when it was first drafted.
|
||||
|
||||
> **IMPORTANT NOTE:**
|
||||
> This output needs to be at a proper level of detail to document the full path of completion of the MVP from beginning to end. As coding agents work on each story and subtask sequentially, they will break it down further as needed—so the subtasks here do not need to be exhaustive, but should be informative.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure stories align with the **INVEST** principles (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable), keeping in mind that foundational/setup stories might have slightly different characteristics but must still be clearly defined.
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
Final Output will be made as an update to the list of stories in the PRD, and the change log in the PRD needs to also indicate what modifications or corrections the PO made.

# Role: Technical Product Manager
|
||||
|
||||
## Role
|
||||
|
||||
You are an expert Technical Scrum Master / Senior Engineer, highly skilled at translating Agile user stories into extremely detailed, self-contained specification files suitable for direct input to an AI coding agent operating with a clean context window. You excel at extracting and injecting relevant technical and UI/UX details from Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and Architecture Documents, defining precise acceptance criteria, and breaking down work into granular, actionable subtasks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial Instructions and Interaction Model
|
||||
|
||||
You speak in a clear concise factual tone. If the user requests for a story list to be generated and has not provided the proper context of an PRD and possibly an architecture, and it is not clear what the high level stories are or what technical details you will need - you MUST instruct the user to provide this information first so you as a senior technical engineer / scrum master can then create the detailed user stories list.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Your task is to generate a complete, detailed ai/stories/stories.md file for the AI coding agent based _only_ on the provided context files (such as a PRD, Architecture, and possible UI guidance or addendum information). The file must contain all of the stories with a separator in between each.
|
||||
|
||||
### Output Format
|
||||
|
||||
Generate a single Markdown file named stories.md containing the following sections for each story - the story files all need to go into the ai/stories.md/ folder at the root of the project:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Story ID:** `<Story_ID>`
|
||||
2. **Epic ID:** `<Epic_ID>`
|
||||
3. **Title:** `<Full User Story Title>`
|
||||
4. **Objective:** A concise (1-2 sentence) summary of the story's goal.
|
||||
5. **Background/Context:** Briefly explain the story's purpose. **Reference general project standards** (like coding style, linting, documentation rules) by pointing to their definition in the central Architecture Document (e.g., "Adhere to project coding standards defined in ArchDoc Sec 3.2"). **Explicitly list context specific to THIS story** that was provided above (e.g., "Target Path: src/components/Auth/", "Relevant Schema: User model", "UI: Login form style per PRD Section X.Y"). _Focus on story-specific details and references to general standards, avoiding verbatim repetition of lengthy general rules._
|
||||
6. **Acceptance Criteria (AC):**
|
||||
- Use the Given/When/Then (GWT) format.
|
||||
- Create specific, testable criteria covering:
|
||||
- Happy path functionality.
|
||||
- Negative paths and error handling (referencing UI/UX specs for error messages/states).
|
||||
- Edge cases.
|
||||
- Adherence to relevant NFRs (e.g., response time, security).
|
||||
- Adherence to UI/UX specifications (e.g., layout, styling, responsiveness).
|
||||
- _Implicitly:_ Adherence to referenced general coding/documentation standards.
|
||||
7. **Subtask Checklist:**
|
||||
- Provide a highly granular, step-by-step checklist for the AI agent.
|
||||
- Break down tasks logically (e.g., file creation, function implementation, UI element coding, state management, API calls, unit test creation, error handling implementation, adding comments _per documentation standards_).
|
||||
- Specify exact file names and paths where necessary, according to the Architecture context.
|
||||
- Include tasks for writing unit tests to meet the specified coverage target, following the defined testing standards (e.g., AAA pattern).
|
||||
- **Crucially, clearly identify any steps the HUMAN USER must perform manually.** Prefix these steps with `MANUAL STEP:` and provide clear, step-by-step instructions (e.g., `MANUAL STEP: Obtain API key from <Service> console.`, `MANUAL STEP: Add the key to the .env file as VARIABLE_NAME.`).
|
||||
8. **Testing Requirements:**
|
||||
- Explicitly state the required test types (e.g., Unit Tests via Jest).
|
||||
- Reiterate the required code coverage percentage (e.g., >= 85%).
|
||||
- State that the Definition of Done includes all ACs being met and all specified tests passing (implicitly including adherence to standards).
|
||||
9. **Story Wrap Up (To be filled in AFTER agent execution):**
|
||||
- \_Note: This section should be completed by the user/process after the AI agent has finished processing an individual story file.
|
||||
- **Agent Model Used:** `<Agent Model Name/Version>`
|
||||
- **Agent Credit or Cost:** `<Cost/Credits Consumed>`
|
||||
- **Date/Time Completed:** `<Timestamp>`
|
||||
- **Commit Hash:** `<Git Commit Hash of resulting code>`
|
||||
- **Change Log:**

# UX Expert: Vercel V0 Prompt Engineer
|
||||
|
||||
## Role
|
||||
|
||||
You are a highly specialized expert in both UI/UX specification analysis and prompt engineering for Vercel's V0 AI UI generation tool. You have deep knowledge of V0's capabilities and expected input format, particularly assuming a standard stack of React, Next.js App Router, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui components, and lucide-react icons. Your expertise lies in meticulously translating detailed UI/UX specifications from a Product Requirements Document (PRD) into a single, optimized text prompt suitable for V0 generation.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally you are an expert in all things visual design and user experience, so you will offer advice or help the user work out what they need to build amazing user experiences - helping make the vision a reality
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Generate a single, highly optimized text prompt for Vercel's V0 to create a specific target UI component or page, based _exclusively_ on the UI/UX specifications found within a provided PRD. If the PRD lacks sufficient detail for unambiguous V0 generation, your goal is instead to provide a list of specific, targeted clarifying questions to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
## Input
|
||||
|
||||
- A finalized Product Requirements Document (PRD) (request user upload).
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
EITHER:
|
||||
|
||||
- A single block of text representing the optimized V0 prompt, ready to be used within V0 (or similar tools).
|
||||
- OR a list of clarifying questions if the PRD is insufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interaction Style & Tone
|
||||
|
||||
- **Meticulous & Analytical:** Carefully parse the provided PRD, focusing solely on extracting all UI/UX details relevant to the needed UX/UI.
|
||||
- **V0 Focused:** Interpret specifications through the lens of V0's capabilities and expected inputs (assuming shadcn/ui, lucide-react, Tailwind, etc., unless the PRD explicitly states otherwise).
|
||||
- **Detail-Driven:** Look for specifics regarding layout, spacing, typography, colors, responsiveness, component states (e.g., hover, disabled, active), interactions, specific shadcn/ui components to use, exact lucide-react icon names, accessibility considerations (alt text, labels), and data display requirements.
|
||||
- **Non-Assumptive & Questioning:** **Critically evaluate** if the extracted information is complete and unambiguous for V0 generation. If _any_ required detail is missing or vague (e.g., "appropriate spacing," "relevant icon," "handle errors"), **DO NOT GUESS or generate a partial prompt.** Instead, formulate clear, specific questions pinpointing the missing information (e.g., "What specific lucide-react icon should be used for the 'delete' action?", "What should the exact spacing be between the input field and the button?", "How should the component respond on screens smaller than 640px?"). Present _only_ these questions and await the user's answers.
|
||||
- **Precise & Concise:** Once all necessary details are available (either initially or after receiving answers), construct the V0 prompt efficiently, incorporating all specifications accurately.
|
||||
- **Tone:** Precise, analytical, highly focused on UI/UX details and V0 technical requirements, objective, and questioning when necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Request Input:** Ask the user for the finalized PRD (encourage file upload) and the exact name of the target component/page to generate with V0. If there is no PRD or it's lacking, converse to understand the UX and UI desired.
|
||||
2. **Analyze PRD:** Carefully read the PRD, specifically locating the UI/UX specifications (and any other relevant sections like Functional Requirements) pertaining _only_ to the target component/page.
|
||||
3. **Assess Sufficiency:** Evaluate if the specifications provide _all_ the necessary details for V0 to generate the component accurately (check layout, styling, responsiveness, states, interactions, specific component names like shadcn/ui Button, specific icon names like lucide-react Trash2, accessibility attributes, etc.). Assume V0 defaults (React, Next.js App Router, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, lucide-react) unless the PRD explicitly contradicts them.
|
||||
4. **Handle Insufficiency (If Applicable):** If details are missing or ambiguous, formulate a list of specific, targeted clarifying questions. Present _only_ this list of questions to the user. State clearly that you need answers to these questions before you can generate the V0 prompt. **Wait for the user's response.**
|
||||
5. **Generate Prompt (If Sufficient / After Clarification):** Once all necessary details are confirmed (either from the initial PRD analysis or after receiving answers to clarifying questions), construct a single, optimized V0 text prompt. Ensure the prompt incorporates all relevant specifications clearly and concisely, leveraging V0's expected syntax and keywords where appropriate.
|
||||
6. **Present Output:** Output EITHER the final V0 prompt text block OR the list of clarifying questions (as determined in step 4).

# Bundle Distribution Setup (For Maintainers)
|
||||
|
||||
**Audience:** BMAD maintainers setting up bundle auto-publishing
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## One-Time Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Run these commands once to enable auto-publishing:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Create bmad-bundles repo
|
||||
gh repo create bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles --public --description "BMAD Web Bundles"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Ensure `main` exists (GitHub Pages API requires a source branch)
|
||||
git clone git@github.com:bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles.git
|
||||
cd bmad-bundles
|
||||
printf '# bmad-bundles\n\nStatic bundles published from BMAD-METHOD.\n' > README.md
|
||||
git add README.md
|
||||
git commit -m "Initial commit"
|
||||
git push origin main
|
||||
cd -
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Enable GitHub Pages (API replacement for removed --enable-pages flag)
|
||||
gh api repos/bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles/pages --method POST -f source[branch]=main -f source[path]=/
|
||||
# (Optional) confirm status
|
||||
gh api repos/bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles/pages --jq '{status,source}'
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Create GitHub PAT and add as secret
|
||||
# Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
|
||||
# Scopes: repo (full control)
|
||||
# Name: bmad-bundles-ci
|
||||
# Then add as secret:
|
||||
gh secret set BUNDLES_PAT --repo bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
# (paste PAT when prompted)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the Pages POST returns `409`, the site already exists. If it returns `422` about `main` missing, redo step 2 to push the initial commit.
|
||||
|
||||
**Done.** Bundles auto-publish on every main merge.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
**On main merge:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `.github/workflows/bundle-latest.yaml` runs
|
||||
- Publishes to: `https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/`
|
||||
|
||||
**On release:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `npm run release:patch` runs `.github/workflows/manual-release.yaml`
|
||||
- Attaches bundles to: `https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/releases/latest`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test latest channel
|
||||
git push origin main
|
||||
# Wait 2 min, then: curl https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/
|
||||
|
||||
# Test stable channel
|
||||
npm run release:patch
|
||||
# Check: gh release view
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**"Permission denied" or auth errors**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify PAT secret exists
|
||||
gh secret list --repo bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD | grep BUNDLES_PAT
|
||||
|
||||
# If missing, recreate PAT and add secret:
|
||||
gh secret set BUNDLES_PAT --repo bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**GitHub Pages not updating / need to re-check config**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh api repos/bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles/pages --jq '{status,source,html_url}'

# Agent Customization Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Customize BMad agents without modifying core files. All customizations persist through updates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Locate Customization Files**
|
||||
|
||||
After installation, find agent customization files in:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/
|
||||
├── core-bmad-master.customize.yaml
|
||||
├── bmm-dev.customize.yaml
|
||||
├── bmm-pm.customize.yaml
|
||||
└── ... (one file per installed agent)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Edit Any Agent**
|
||||
|
||||
Open the `.customize.yaml` file for the agent you want to modify. All sections are optional - customize only what you need.
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Rebuild the Agent**
|
||||
|
||||
After editing, IT IS CRITICAL to rebuild the agent to apply changes:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx bmad-method@alpha install # and then select option to compile all agents
|
||||
# OR for individual agent only
|
||||
npx bmad-method@alpha build <agent-name>
|
||||
|
||||
# Examples:
|
||||
npx bmad-method@alpha build bmm-dev
|
||||
npx bmad-method@alpha build core-bmad-master
|
||||
npx bmad-method@alpha build bmm-pm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What You Can Customize
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Name
|
||||
|
||||
Change how the agent introduces itself:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: 'Spongebob' # Default: "Amelia"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Persona
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the agent's personality, role, and communication style:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
role: 'Senior Full-Stack Engineer'
|
||||
identity: 'Lives in a pineapple (under the sea)'
|
||||
communication_style: 'Spongebob'
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- 'Never Nester, Spongebob Devs hate nesting more than 2 levels deep'
|
||||
- 'Favor composition over inheritance'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** The persona section replaces the entire default persona (not merged).
|
||||
|
||||
### Memories
|
||||
|
||||
Add persistent context the agent will always remember:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
memories:
|
||||
- 'Works at Krusty Krab'
|
||||
- 'Favorite Celebrity: David Hasslehoff'
|
||||
- 'Learned in Epic 1 that its not cool to just pretend that tests have passed'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Menu Items
|
||||
|
||||
Add your own workflows to the agent's menu:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: my-workflow
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/custom/my-workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: My custom workflow
|
||||
- trigger: deploy
|
||||
action: '#deploy-prompt'
|
||||
description: Deploy to production
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't include:** `*` prefix or `help`/`exit` items - these are auto-injected.
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical Actions
|
||||
|
||||
Add instructions that execute before the agent starts:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'Always check git status before making changes'
|
||||
- 'Use conventional commit messages'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
Define reusable prompts for `action="#id"` menu handlers:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: deploy-prompt
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
Deploy the current branch to production:
|
||||
1. Run all tests
|
||||
2. Build the project
|
||||
3. Execute deployment script
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Real-World Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Example 1: Customize Developer Agent for TDD**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# {bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/bmm-dev.customize.yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: 'TDD Developer'
|
||||
|
||||
memories:
|
||||
- 'Always write tests before implementation'
|
||||
- 'Project uses Jest and React Testing Library'
|
||||
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'Review test coverage before committing'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example 2: Add Custom Deployment Workflow**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# {bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/bmm-dev.customize.yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: deploy-staging
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad-custom/deploy-staging.yaml'
|
||||
description: Deploy to staging environment
|
||||
- trigger: deploy-prod
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad-custom/deploy-prod.yaml'
|
||||
description: Deploy to production (with approval)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example 3: Multilingual Product Manager**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# {bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
role: 'Bilingual Product Manager'
|
||||
identity: 'Expert in US and LATAM markets'
|
||||
communication_style: 'Clear, strategic, with cultural awareness'
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- 'Consider localization from day one'
|
||||
- 'Balance business goals with user needs'
|
||||
|
||||
memories:
|
||||
- 'User speaks English and Spanish'
|
||||
- 'Target markets: US and Latin America'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- **Start Small:** Customize one section at a time and rebuild to test
|
||||
- **Backup:** Copy customization files before major changes
|
||||
- **Update-Safe:** Your customizations in `_cfg/` survive all BMad updates
|
||||
- **Per-Project:** Customization files are per-project, not global
|
||||
- **Version Control:** Consider committing `_cfg/` to share customizations with your team
|
||||
|
||||
## Module vs. Global Config
|
||||
|
||||
**Module-Level (Recommended):**
|
||||
|
||||
- Customize agents per-project in `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/`
|
||||
- Different projects can have different agent behaviors
|
||||
|
||||
**Global Config (Coming Soon):**
|
||||
|
||||
- Set defaults that apply across all projects
|
||||
- Override with project-specific customizations
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Changes not appearing?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure you ran `npx bmad-method build <agent-name>` after editing
|
||||
- Check YAML syntax is valid (indentation matters!)
|
||||
- Verify the agent name matches the file name pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent not loading?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Check for YAML syntax errors
|
||||
- Ensure required fields aren't left empty if you uncommented them
|
||||
- Try reverting to the template and rebuilding
|
||||
|
||||
**Need to reset?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Delete the `.customize.yaml` file
|
||||
- Run `npx bmad-method build <agent-name>` to regenerate defaults
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Reinstallation
|
||||
|
||||
Custom agents are automatically reinstalled when you run `bmad init --quick`. Your personalization choices are preserved in `.bmad/_cfg/custom/agents/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing Reference Agents
|
||||
|
||||
The BMAD source includes example agents you can install. **You must copy them to your project first.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Copy the Agent Template
|
||||
|
||||
**For simple agents** (single file):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From your project root
|
||||
cp node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/stand-alone/commit-poet.agent.yaml \
|
||||
.bmad/custom/agents/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For expert agents** (folder with sidecar files):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Copy the entire folder
|
||||
cp -r node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/agent-with-memory/journal-keeper \
|
||||
.bmad/custom/agents/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Install and Personalize
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx bmad agent-install
|
||||
# or: bmad agent-install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The installer will:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Find the copied template in `.bmad/custom/agents/`
|
||||
2. Prompt for personalization (name, behavior, preferences)
|
||||
3. Compile and install with your choices baked in
|
||||
4. Create IDE commands for immediate use
|
||||
|
||||
### Available Reference Agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple (standalone file):**
|
||||
|
||||
- `commit-poet.agent.yaml` - Commit message artisan with style preferences
|
||||
|
||||
**Expert (folder with sidecar):**
|
||||
|
||||
- `journal-keeper/` - Personal journal companion with memory and pattern recognition
|
||||
|
||||
Find these in the BMAD source:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/
|
||||
├── stand-alone/
|
||||
│ └── commit-poet.agent.yaml
|
||||
└── agent-with-memory/
|
||||
└── journal-keeper/
|
||||
├── journal-keeper.agent.yaml
|
||||
└── journal-keeper-sidecar/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating Your Own
|
||||
|
||||
Place your `.agent.yaml` files in `.bmad/custom/agents/`. Use the reference agents as templates.
|
||||
|
||||
Key sections in an agent YAML:
|
||||
|
||||
- `metadata`: name, title, icon, type
|
||||
- `persona`: role, identity, communication_style, principles
|
||||
- `prompts`: reusable prompt templates
|
||||
- `menu`: numbered menu items
|
||||
- `install_config`: personalization questions (optional, at end of file)
|
||||
|
||||
See the reference agents for complete examples with install_config templates and XML-style semantic tags.

# Document Sharding Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Comprehensive guide to BMad Method's document sharding system for managing large planning and architecture documents.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
- [Examples](#examples)
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Document Sharding?
|
||||
|
||||
Document sharding splits large markdown files into smaller, organized files based on level 2 headings (`## Heading`). This enables:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Selective Loading** - Workflows load only the sections they need
|
||||
- **Reduced Token Usage** - Massive efficiency gains for large projects
|
||||
- **Better Organization** - Logical section-based file structure
|
||||
- **Maintained Context** - Index file preserves document structure
|
||||
|
||||
### Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Before Sharding:
|
||||
docs/
|
||||
└── PRD.md (large 50k token file)
|
||||
|
||||
After Sharding:
|
||||
docs/
|
||||
└── prd/
|
||||
├── index.md # Table of contents with descriptions
|
||||
├── overview.md # Section 1
|
||||
├── user-requirements.md # Section 2
|
||||
├── technical-requirements.md # Section 3
|
||||
└── ... # Additional sections
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Sharding
|
||||
|
||||
### Ideal Candidates
|
||||
|
||||
**Large Multi-Epic Projects:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Very large complex PRDs
|
||||
- Architecture documents with multiple system layers
|
||||
- Epic files with 4+ epics (especially for Phase 4)
|
||||
- UX design specs covering multiple subsystems
|
||||
|
||||
**Token Thresholds:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Consider sharding**: Documents > 20k tokens
|
||||
- **Strongly recommended**: Documents > 40k tokens
|
||||
- **Critical for efficiency**: Documents > 60k tokens
|
||||
|
||||
### When NOT to Shard
|
||||
|
||||
**Small Projects:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Single epic projects
|
||||
- Level 0-1 projects (tech-spec only)
|
||||
- Documents under 10k tokens
|
||||
- Quick prototypes
|
||||
|
||||
**Frequently Updated Docs:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Active work-in-progress documents
|
||||
- Documents updated daily
|
||||
- Documents where whole-file context is essential
|
||||
|
||||
## How Sharding Works
|
||||
|
||||
### Sharding Process
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Tool Execution**: Run `npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser source.md destination/` - this is abstracted with the core shard-doc task which is installed as a slash command or manual task rule depending on your tools.
|
||||
2. **Section Extraction**: Tool splits by level 2 headings
|
||||
3. **File Creation**: Each section becomes a separate file
|
||||
4. **Index Generation**: `index.md` created with structure and descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
BMad workflows use a **dual discovery system**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Try whole document first** - Look for `document-name.md`
|
||||
2. **Check for sharded version** - Look for `document-name/index.md`
|
||||
3. **Priority rule** - Whole document takes precedence if both exist
|
||||
|
||||
### Loading Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
**Full Load (Phase 1-3 workflows):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
If sharded:
|
||||
- Read index.md
|
||||
- Read ALL section files
|
||||
- Treat as single combined document
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Selective Load (Phase 4 workflows):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
If sharded epics and working on Epic 3:
|
||||
- Read epics/index.md
|
||||
- Load ONLY epics/epic-3.md
|
||||
- Skip all other epic files
|
||||
- 90%+ token savings!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Using the Shard-Doc Tool
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Command
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Activate bmad-master or analyst agent, then:
|
||||
/shard-doc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Interactive Process
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Agent: Which document would you like to shard?
|
||||
User: docs/PRD.md
|
||||
|
||||
Agent: Default destination: docs/prd/
|
||||
Accept default? [y/n]
|
||||
User: y
|
||||
|
||||
Agent: Sharding PRD.md...
|
||||
✓ Created 12 section files
|
||||
✓ Generated index.md
|
||||
✓ Complete!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### What Gets Created
|
||||
|
||||
**index.md structure:**
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# PRD - Index
|
||||
|
||||
## Sections
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Overview](./overview.md) - Project vision and objectives
|
||||
2. [User Requirements](./user-requirements.md) - Feature specifications
|
||||
3. [Epic 1: Authentication](./epic-1-authentication.md) - User auth system
|
||||
4. [Epic 2: Dashboard](./epic-2-dashboard.md) - Main dashboard UI
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Individual section files:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Named from heading text (kebab-case)
|
||||
- Contains complete section content
|
||||
- Preserves all markdown formatting
|
||||
- Can be read independently
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Support
|
||||
|
||||
### Universal Support
|
||||
|
||||
**All BMM workflows support both formats:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Whole documents
|
||||
- ✅ Sharded documents
|
||||
- ✅ Automatic detection
|
||||
- ✅ Transparent to user
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow-Specific Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 1-3 (Full Load)
|
||||
|
||||
Workflows load entire sharded documents:
|
||||
|
||||
- `product-brief` - Research, brainstorming docs
|
||||
- `prd` - Product brief, research
|
||||
- `gdd` - Game brief, research
|
||||
- `create-ux-design` - PRD, brief, architecture (if available)
|
||||
- `tech-spec` - Brief, research
|
||||
- `architecture` - PRD, UX design (if available)
|
||||
- `create-epics-and-stories` - PRD, architecture
|
||||
- `implementation-readiness` - All planning docs
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 4 (Selective Load)
|
||||
|
||||
Workflows load only needed sections:
|
||||
|
||||
**sprint-planning** (Full Load):
|
||||
|
||||
- Needs ALL epics to build complete status
|
||||
|
||||
**epic-tech-context, create-story, story-context, code-review** (Selective):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Working on Epic 3, Story 2:
|
||||
✓ Load epics/epic-3.md only
|
||||
✗ Skip epics/epic-1.md, epic-2.md, epic-4.md, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Result: 90%+ token reduction for 10-epic projects!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Input File Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Workflows use standardized patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
input_file_patterns:
|
||||
prd:
|
||||
whole: '{output_folder}/*prd*.md'
|
||||
sharded: '{output_folder}/*prd*/index.md'
|
||||
|
||||
epics:
|
||||
whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md'
|
||||
sharded_index: '{output_folder}/*epic*/index.md'
|
||||
sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Sharding Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Do:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Shard after planning phase complete
|
||||
- ✅ Keep level 2 headings well-organized
|
||||
- ✅ Use descriptive section names
|
||||
- ✅ Shard before Phase 4 implementation
|
||||
- ✅ Keep original file as backup initially
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Shard work-in-progress documents
|
||||
- ❌ Shard small documents (<20k tokens)
|
||||
- ❌ Mix sharded and whole versions
|
||||
- ❌ Manually edit index.md structure
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
**Good Section Names:**
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Epic 1: User Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
## System Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
## UX Design Principles
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Poor Section Names:**
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Section 1
|
||||
|
||||
## Part A
|
||||
|
||||
## Details
|
||||
|
||||
## More Info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### File Management
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Re-shard:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Significant structural changes to document
|
||||
- Adding/removing major sections
|
||||
- After major refactoring
|
||||
|
||||
**Updating Sharded Docs:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Edit individual section files directly
|
||||
2. OR edit original, delete sharded folder, re-shard
|
||||
3. Don't manually edit index.md
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Large PRD
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario:** 15-epic project, PRD is 45k tokens
|
||||
|
||||
**Before Sharding:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Every workflow loads entire 45k token PRD
|
||||
Architecture workflow: 45k tokens
|
||||
UX design workflow: 45k tokens
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After Sharding:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/shard-doc
|
||||
Source: docs/PRD.md
|
||||
Destination: docs/prd/
|
||||
|
||||
Created:
|
||||
prd/index.md
|
||||
prd/overview.md (3k tokens)
|
||||
prd/functional-requirements.md (8k tokens)
|
||||
prd/non-functional-requirements.md (6k tokens)
|
||||
prd/user-personas.md (4k tokens)
|
||||
...additional FR/NFR sections
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Architecture workflow: Can load specific sections needed
|
||||
UX design workflow: Can load specific sections needed
|
||||
Significant token reduction for large requirement docs!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: Sharding Epics File
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario:** 8 epics with detailed stories, 35k tokens total
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/shard-doc
|
||||
Source: docs/bmm-epics.md
|
||||
Destination: docs/epics/
|
||||
|
||||
Created:
|
||||
epics/index.md
|
||||
epics/epic-1.md
|
||||
epics/epic-2.md
|
||||
...
|
||||
epics/epic-8.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Efficiency Gain:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Working on Epic 5 stories:
|
||||
Old: Load all 8 epics (35k tokens)
|
||||
New: Load epic-5.md only (4k tokens)
|
||||
Savings: 88% reduction
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 3: Architecture Document
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario:** Multi-layer system architecture, 28k tokens
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/shard-doc
|
||||
Source: docs/architecture.md
|
||||
Destination: docs/architecture/
|
||||
|
||||
Created:
|
||||
architecture/index.md
|
||||
architecture/system-overview.md
|
||||
architecture/frontend-architecture.md
|
||||
architecture/backend-services.md
|
||||
architecture/data-layer.md
|
||||
architecture/infrastructure.md
|
||||
architecture/security-architecture.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit:** Code-review workflow can reference specific architectural layers without loading entire architecture doc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Workflow Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### For Workflow Builders
|
||||
|
||||
When creating custom workflows that load large documents:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Add input_file_patterns to workflow.yaml:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
input_file_patterns:
|
||||
your_document:
|
||||
whole: '{output_folder}/*your-doc*.md'
|
||||
sharded: '{output_folder}/*your-doc*/index.md'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Add discovery instructions to instructions.md:**
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Document Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
1. Search for whole document: _your-doc_.md
|
||||
2. Check for sharded version: _your-doc_/index.md
|
||||
3. If sharded: Read index + ALL sections (or specific sections if selective load)
|
||||
4. Priority: Whole document first
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Choose loading strategy:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Full Load**: Read all sections when sharded
|
||||
- **Selective Load**: Read only relevant sections (requires section identification logic)
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern Templates
|
||||
|
||||
**Full Load Pattern:**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<action>Search for document: {output_folder}/*doc-name*.md</action>
|
||||
<action>If not found, check for sharded: {output_folder}/*doc-name*/index.md</action>
|
||||
<action if="sharded found">Read index.md to understand structure</action>
|
||||
<action if="sharded found">Read ALL section files listed in index</action>
|
||||
<action if="sharded found">Combine content as single document</action>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Selective Load Pattern (with section ID):**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<action>Determine section needed (e.g., epic_num = 3)</action>
|
||||
<action>Check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*doc-name*/index.md</action>
|
||||
<action if="sharded found">Read ONLY the specific section file needed</action>
|
||||
<action if="sharded found">Skip all other section files</action>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Both whole and sharded exist:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Workflows will use whole document (priority rule)
|
||||
- Delete or archive the one you don't want
|
||||
|
||||
**Index.md out of sync:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Delete sharded folder
|
||||
- Re-run shard-doc on original
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflow can't find document:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Check file naming matches patterns (`*prd*.md`, `*epic*.md`, etc.)
|
||||
- Verify index.md exists in sharded folder
|
||||
- Check output_folder path in config
|
||||
|
||||
**Sections too granular:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Combine sections in original document
|
||||
- Use fewer level 2 headings
|
||||
- Re-shard
|
||||

||||

# BMAD Method - Cline Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
## Activating Agents
|
||||
|
||||
BMAD agents are installed as **toggleable rules** in `.clinerules/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Important: Rules are OFF by default
|
||||
|
||||
- Rules are NOT automatically loaded to avoid context pollution
|
||||
- You must manually enable the agent you want to use
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Use
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Open Rules Panel**: Click the rules icon below the chat input
|
||||
2. **Enable an Agent**: Toggle ON the specific agent rule you need (e.g., `01-core-dev`)
|
||||
3. **Activate in Chat**: Type `@{agent-name}` to activate that persona
|
||||
4. **Disable When Done**: Toggle OFF to free up context
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
- Only enable 1-2 agents at a time to preserve context
|
||||
- Disable agents when switching tasks
|
||||
- Rules are numbered (01-, 02-) for organization, not priority
|
||||
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Toggle ON: 01-core-dev.md
|
||||
In chat: "@dev help me refactor this code"
|
||||
When done: Toggle OFF the rule

|
||||
2. **Select Workflow**: Choose the agent/task workflow
|
||||
3. **Execute**: Run to activate that agent persona
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow Types
|
||||
|
||||
- **Agent workflows**: `{module}-{agent}.md` (auto_execution_mode: 3)
|
||||
- **Task workflows**: `task-{module}-{task}.md` (auto_execution_mode: 2)
|
||||
|
||||
### Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Agents run with higher autonomy (mode 3)
|
||||
- Tasks run with guided execution (mode 2)
|
||||
- Workflows persist for the session

|
||||
## 📚 Important Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Fresh Chats
|
||||
|
||||
Each workflow should run in a fresh chat with the specified agent to avoid context limitations. This is emphasized throughout the docs because it's critical to successful workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scale Levels
|
||||
|
||||
BMM adapts to project complexity (Levels 0-4). Documentation is scale-adaptive - you only need what's relevant to your project size.
|
||||
|
||||
### Update-Safe Customization
|
||||
|
||||
All agent customizations go in `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/` and survive updates. See your IDE guide and module README for details.

# IDE Content Injection Standard
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document defines the standard for IDE-specific content injection in BMAD modules. Each IDE can inject its own specific content into BMAD templates during installation without polluting the source files with IDE-specific code. The installation process is interactive, allowing users to choose what IDE-specific features they want to install.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Injection Points
|
||||
|
||||
Files that support IDE-specific content define injection points using HTML comments:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT: unique-point-name -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Module Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Each module that needs IDE-specific content creates a sub-module folder:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/modules/{module-name}/sub-modules/{ide-name}/
|
||||
├── injections.yaml # Injection configuration
|
||||
├── sub-agents/ # IDE-specific subagents (if applicable)
|
||||
└── config.yaml # Other IDE-specific config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Injection Configuration Format
|
||||
|
||||
The `injections.yaml` file defines what content to inject where:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# injections.yaml structure
|
||||
injections:
|
||||
- file: 'relative/path/to/file.md' # Path relative to installation root
|
||||
point: 'injection-point-name' # Must match IDE-INJECT-POINT name
|
||||
requires: 'subagent-name' # Which subagent must be selected (or "any")
|
||||
content: | # Content to inject (preserves formatting)
|
||||
<llm>
|
||||
<i>Instructions specific to this IDE</i>
|
||||
</llm>
|
||||
|
||||
# Subagents available for installation
|
||||
subagents:
|
||||
source: 'sub-agents' # Source folder relative to this config
|
||||
target: '.claude/agents' # Claude's expected location (don't change)
|
||||
files:
|
||||
- 'agent1.md'
|
||||
- 'agent2.md'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Interactive Installation Process
|
||||
|
||||
For Claude Code specifically, the installer will:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Detect available subagents** from the module's `injections.yaml`
|
||||
2. **Ask the user** about subagent installation:
|
||||
- Install all subagents (default)
|
||||
- Select specific subagents
|
||||
- Skip subagent installation
|
||||
3. **Ask installation location** (if subagents selected):
|
||||
- Project level: `.claude/agents/`
|
||||
- User level: `~/.claude/agents/`
|
||||
4. **Copy selected subagents** to the chosen location
|
||||
5. **Inject only relevant content** based on selected subagents
|
||||
|
||||
Other IDEs can implement their own installation logic appropriate to their architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### IDE Installer Responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
Each IDE installer (e.g., `claude-code.js`) must:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check for sub-modules**: Look for `sub-modules/{ide-name}/` in each installed module
|
||||
2. **Load injection config**: Parse `injections.yaml` if present
|
||||
3. **Process injections**: Replace injection points with configured content
|
||||
4. **Copy additional files**: Handle subagents or other IDE-specific files
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Implementation (Claude Code)
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
async processModuleInjections(projectDir, bmadDir, options) {
|
||||
for (const moduleName of options.selectedModules) {
|
||||
const configPath = path.join(
|
||||
bmadDir, 'src/modules', moduleName,
|
||||
'sub-modules/claude-code/injections.yaml'
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
if (exists(configPath)) {
|
||||
const config = yaml.load(configPath);
|
||||
|
||||
// Interactive: Ask user about subagent installation
|
||||
const choices = await this.promptSubagentInstallation(config.subagents);
|
||||
|
||||
if (choices.install !== 'none') {
|
||||
// Ask where to install
|
||||
const location = await this.promptInstallLocation();
|
||||
|
||||
// Process injections based on selections
|
||||
for (const injection of config.injections) {
|
||||
if (this.shouldInject(injection, choices)) {
|
||||
await this.injectContent(projectDir, injection, choices);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Copy selected subagents
|
||||
await this.copySelectedSubagents(projectDir, config.subagents, choices, location);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Clean Source Files**: No IDE-specific conditionals in source
|
||||
2. **Modular**: Each IDE manages its own injections
|
||||
3. **Scalable**: Easy to add support for new IDEs
|
||||
4. **Maintainable**: IDE-specific content lives with IDE config
|
||||
5. **Flexible**: Different modules can inject different content
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding Support for a New IDE
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create sub-module folder: `src/modules/{module}/sub-modules/{new-ide}/`
|
||||
2. Add `injections.yaml` with IDE-specific content
|
||||
3. Update IDE installer to process injections using this standard
|
||||
4. Test installation with and without the IDE selected
|
||||
|
||||

### Installation Flow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Detection**: Check existing installation
|
||||
2. **Selection**: Choose modules interactively or via CLI
|
||||
3. **Configuration**: Collect module-specific settings
|
||||
4. **Installation**: Compile Process and copy files
|
||||
5. **Generation**: Create config files with inheritance
|
||||
6. **Post-Install**: Run module installers
|
||||
7. **Manifest**: Track installed components
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Exclusions
|
||||
|
||||
- `_module-installer/` directories are never copied to destination
|
||||
- `localskip="true"` agents are filtered out
|
||||
- Source `config.yaml` templates are replaced with generated configs
|
||||
|
||||
## Modules
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Module (Required)
|
||||
|
||||
Foundation framework with C.O.R.E. (Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Components**: Base agents, activation system, advanced elicitation
|
||||
- **Config**: `user_name`, `communication_language`
|
||||
|
||||
### BMM Module
|
||||
|
||||
BMad Method for software development workflows
|
||||
|
||||
- **Components**: PM agent, dev tasks, PRD templates, story generation
|
||||
- **Config**: `project_name`, `tech_docs`, `output_folder`, `story_location`
|
||||
- **Dependencies**: Core
|
||||
|
||||
### CIS Module
|
||||
|
||||
Creative Innovation Studio for design workflows
|
||||
|
||||
- **Components**: Design agents, creative tasks
|
||||
- **Config**: `output_folder`, design preferences
|
||||
- **Dependencies**: Core
|
||||
|
||||
### Module Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/modules/{module}/
|
||||
├── _module-installer/ # Not copied to destination
|
||||
│ ├── installer.js # Post-install logic
|
||||
│ └── install-config.yaml
|
||||
├── agents/
|
||||
├── tasks/
|
||||
├── templates/
|
||||
└── sub-modules/ # Platform-specific content
|
||||
└── {platform}/
|
||||
├── injections.yaml
|
||||
└── sub-agents/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration System
|
||||
|
||||
### Collection Process
|
||||
|
||||
Modules define prompts in `install-config.yaml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
project_name:
|
||||
prompt: 'Project title?'
|
||||
default: 'My Project'
|
||||
result: '{value}'
|
||||
|
||||
output_folder:
|
||||
prompt: 'Output location?'
|
||||
default: 'docs'
|
||||
result: '{project-root}/{value}'
|
||||
|
||||
tools:
|
||||
prompt: 'Select tools:'
|
||||
multi-select:
|
||||
- 'Tool A'
|
||||
- 'Tool B'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration Inheritance
|
||||
|
||||
Core values cascade to ALL modules automatically:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# core/config.yaml
|
||||
user_name: "Jane"
|
||||
communication_language: "English"
|
||||
|
||||
# bmm/config.yaml (generated)
|
||||
project_name: "My App"
|
||||
tech_docs: "/path/to/docs"
|
||||
# Core Configuration Values (inherited)
|
||||
user_name: "Jane"
|
||||
communication_language: "English"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reserved Keys**: Core configuration keys cannot be redefined by other modules.
|
||||
|
||||
### Path Placeholders
|
||||
|
||||
- `{project-root}`: Project directory path
|
||||
- `{value}`: User input
|
||||
- `{module}`: Module name
|
||||
- `{core:field}`: Reference core config value
|
||||
|
||||
### Config Generation Rules
|
||||
|
||||
1. ALL installed modules get a `config.yaml` (even without prompts)
|
||||
2. Core values are ALWAYS included in module configs
|
||||
3. Module-specific values come first, core values appended
|
||||
4. Source templates are never copied, only generated configs
|
||||
|
||||
## Platform Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### Supported Platforms
|
||||
|
||||
**Preferred** (Full Integration):
|
||||
|
||||
- Claude Code
|
||||
- Cursor
|
||||
- Windsurf
|
||||
|
||||
**Additional**:
|
||||
Cline, Roo, Auggie, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Trae, Kilo, Crush, iFlow
|
||||
|
||||
### Platform Features
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Setup Handler** (`tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/{platform}.js`)
|
||||
- Directory creation
|
||||
- Configuration generation
|
||||
- Agent processing
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Content Injection** (`sub-modules/{platform}/injections.yaml`)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
injections:
|
||||
- file: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/pm.md'
|
||||
point: 'pm-agent-instructions'
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
<i>Platform-specific instruction</i>
|
||||
|
||||
subagents:
|
||||
source: 'sub-agents'
|
||||
target: '.claude/agents'
|
||||
files: ['agent.md']
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Interactive Config**
|
||||
- Subagent selection
|
||||
- Installation scope (project/user)
|
||||
- Feature toggles
|
||||
|
||||
### Injection System
|
||||
|
||||
Platform-specific content without source modification:
|
||||
|
||||
- Inject points marked in source: `<!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT:name -->`
|
||||
- Content added during installation only
|
||||
- Source files remain clean
|
||||
|
||||
## Development Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating a Module
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Structure**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/modules/mymod/
|
||||
├── _module-installer/
|
||||
│ ├── installer.js
|
||||
│ └── install-config.yaml
|
||||
├── agents/
|
||||
└── tasks/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Configuration** (`install-config.yaml`)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
code: mymod
|
||||
name: 'My Module'
|
||||
prompt: 'Welcome message'
|
||||
|
||||
setting_name:
|
||||
prompt: 'Configure X?'
|
||||
default: 'value'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Installer** (`installer.js`)
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
async function install(options) {
|
||||
const { projectRoot, config, installedIDEs, logger } = options;
|
||||
// Custom logic
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
module.exports = { install };
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Platform Support
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create handler: `tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/myplatform.js`
|
||||
2. Extend `BaseIdeSetup` class
|
||||
3. Add sub-module: `src/modules/{mod}/sub-modules/myplatform/`
|
||||
4. Define injections and platform agents
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Extractable config nodes:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<agent>
|
||||
<setting agentConfig="true">
|
||||
Default value
|
||||
</setting>
|
||||
</agent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Generated in: `bmad/_cfg/agents/{module}-{agent}.md`
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
| Issue | Solution |
|
||||
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Existing installation | Use `bmad update` or remove `{bmad_folder}/` |
|
||||
| Module not found | Check `src/modules/` exists |
|
||||
| Config not applied | Verify `{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml` |
|
||||
| Missing config.yaml | Fixed: All modules now get configs |
|
||||
| Agent unavailable | Check for `localskip="true"` |
|
||||
| module-installer copied | Fixed: Now excluded from copy |
|
||||
|
||||
### Debug Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bmad install -v # Verbose installation
|
||||
bmad status -v # Detailed status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run from project root
|
||||
2. Backup `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/` before updates
|
||||
3. Use interactive mode for guidance
|
||||
4. Review generated configs post-install
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration from v4
|
||||
|
||||
| v4 | v6 |
|
||||
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- |
|
||||
| Scattered files | Centralized `{bmad_folder}/` |
|
||||
| Monolithic | Modular |
|
||||
| Manual config | Interactive setup |
|
||||
| Limited IDE support | 15+ platforms |
|
||||
| Source modification | Clean injection |
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependency Resolution
|
||||
|
||||
- Direct dependencies (module → module)
|
||||
- Agent references (cross-module)
|
||||
- Template dependencies
|
||||
- Partial module installation (only required files)
|
||||
- Workflow vendoring for standalone module operation
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Vendoring
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Modules that reference workflows from other modules create dependencies, forcing users to install multiple modules even when they only need one.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Workflow vendoring allows modules to copy workflows from other modules during installation, making them fully standalone.
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
Agents can specify both `workflow` (source location) and `workflow-install` (destination location) in their menu items:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: create-story
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/create-story/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
workflow-install: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmgd/workflows/4-production/create-story/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Create a game feature story'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**During Installation:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Vendoring Phase**: Before copying module files, the installer:
|
||||
- Scans source agent YAML files for `workflow-install` attributes
|
||||
- Copies entire workflow folders from `workflow` path to `workflow-install` path
|
||||
- Updates vendored `workflow.yaml` files to reference target module's config
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Compilation Phase**: When compiling agents:
|
||||
- If `workflow-install` exists, uses its value for the `workflow` attribute
|
||||
- `workflow-install` is build-time metadata only, never appears in final XML
|
||||
- Compiled agent references vendored workflow location
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Config Update**: Vendored workflows get their `config_source` updated:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Source workflow (in bmm):
|
||||
config_source: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/config.yaml"
|
||||
|
||||
# Vendored workflow (in bmgd):
|
||||
config_source: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmgd/config.yaml"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result**: Modules become completely standalone with their own copies of needed workflows, configured for their specific use case.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Use Case: BMGD Module
|
||||
|
||||
The BMad Game Development module vendors implementation workflows from BMM:
|
||||
|
||||
- Game Dev Scrum Master agent references BMM workflows
|
||||
- During installation, workflows are copied to `bmgd/workflows/4-production/`
|
||||
- Vendored workflows use BMGD's config (with game-specific settings)
|
||||
- BMGD can be installed without BMM dependency
|
||||
|
||||
### Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Module Independence** - No forced dependencies
|
||||
✅ **Clean Namespace** - Workflows live in their module
|
||||
✅ **Config Isolation** - Each module uses its own configuration
|
||||
✅ **Customization Ready** - Vendored workflows can be modified independently
|
||||
✅ **No User Confusion** - Avoid partial module installations
|
||||
|
||||
### File Processing
|
||||
|
||||
- Filters `localskip="true"` agents
|
||||
- Excludes `_module-installer/` directories
|
||||
- Replaces path placeholders at runtime
|
||||
- Injects activation blocks
|
||||
- Vendors cross-module workflows (see Workflow Vendoring below)
|
||||
|
||||
### Web Bundling
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bmad bundle --web # Filter for web deployment
|
||||
npm run validate:bundles # Validate bundles

# BMad v4 to v6 Upgrade Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
BMad v6 represents a complete ground-up rewrite with significant architectural changes. This guide will help you migrate your v4 project to v6.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Automatic V4 Detection
|
||||
|
||||
When you run `npm run install:bmad` on a project with v4 installed, the installer automatically detects:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Legacy folders**: Any folders starting with `.bmad`, `bmad` (lowercase), or `Bmad`
|
||||
- **IDE command artifacts**: Legacy bmad folders in IDE configuration directories (`.claude/commands/`, `.cursor/commands/`, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### What Happens During Detection
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Automatic Backup of v4 Modules**: All `.bmad-*` folders are moved to `v4-backup/` in your project root
|
||||
- If a backup already exists, a timestamp is added to avoid conflicts
|
||||
- Example: `.bmad-core` → `v4-backup/.bmad-core`
|
||||
- Your project files and data are NOT affected
|
||||
|
||||
2. **IDE Command Cleanup Recommended**: Legacy v4 IDE commands should be manually removed
|
||||
- Located in IDE config folders: `.claude/commands/`, `.cursor/commands/`, etc.
|
||||
- These old commands would still reference v4 folder structure if left in place
|
||||
- The installer provides copy/paste terminal commands for your platform
|
||||
- You can proceed without cleanup, but removing them prevents confusion with old v4 commands
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Module Migration
|
||||
|
||||
### Deprecated Modules
|
||||
|
||||
| v4 Module | v6 Status |
|
||||
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `.bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev` | Integrated into BMM |
|
||||
| `.bmad-2d-unity-game-dev` | Integrated into BMM |
|
||||
| `.bmad-godot-game-dev` | Integrated into BMM |
|
||||
| `.bmad-*-game-dev` (any) | Integrated into BMM |
|
||||
| `.bmad-infrastructure-devops` | Deprecated - New core devops agent coming in BMM |
|
||||
| `.bmad-creative-writing` | Not adapted - New module releasing soon |
|
||||
|
||||
**Game Development**: All game development functionality has been consolidated and expanded within the BMM (BMad Method) module. Game-specific workflows now adapt to your game type and engine.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Folder Structure
|
||||
|
||||
**v4 "Expansion Packs" Structure:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
your-project/
|
||||
├── .bmad-core/ # Was actually the BMad Method
|
||||
├── .bmad-game-dev/ # Separate expansion packs
|
||||
├── .bmad-creative-writing/
|
||||
└── .bmad-infrastructure-devops/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**v6 Unified Structure:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
your-project/
|
||||
└── {bmad_folder}/ # Single installation folder, default .bmad
|
||||
├── core/ # Real core framework (applies to all modules)
|
||||
├── bmm/ # BMad Method (software/game dev)
|
||||
├── bmb/ # BMad Builder (create agents/workflows)
|
||||
├── cis/ # Creative Intelligence Suite
|
||||
└── _cfg/ # Your customizations
|
||||
└── agents/ # Agent customization files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Concept Changes
|
||||
|
||||
- **v4 `.bmad-core`**: Was actually the BMad Method
|
||||
- **v6 `{bmad_folder}/core/`**: Is the real universal core framework
|
||||
- **v6 `{bmad_folder}/bmm/`**: Is the BMad Method module
|
||||
- **Module identification**: All modules now have a `config.yaml` file
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Progress Migration
|
||||
|
||||
### If You've Completed Planning Phase (PRD/Architecture) with the BMad Method:
|
||||
|
||||
After running the v6 installer:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Run `workflow-init`** workflow to set up the guided workflow system
|
||||
2. **Specify your project level** when prompted:
|
||||
- If you followed v4's full workflow (PRD → Architecture → Stories), select **Level 3 or 4**
|
||||
- This tells v6 you've already completed planning and solutioning phases
|
||||
3. **Document paths**: Keep your existing paths during installation
|
||||
- Default PRD/Architecture location: `docs/`
|
||||
- Default stories location: `docs/sprint-artifacts/`
|
||||
- **Accept these defaults** if you're already using them in v4
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important**: v6 workflows can handle both sharded and unsharded documents. You don't need to restructure your existing PRD or architecture files.
|
||||
|
||||
### If You're Mid-Development (Stories Created/Implemented)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Complete the v6 installation as above
|
||||
2. Run `workflow-init` and specify Level 3 or 4
|
||||
3. When ready to continue development, run the **`sprint-planning`** workflow (Phase 4)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Customization Migration
|
||||
|
||||
### v4 Agent Customization
|
||||
|
||||
In v4, you may have modified agent files directly in `.bmad-*` folders.
|
||||
|
||||
### v6 Agent Customization
|
||||
|
||||
**All customizations** now go in `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/` using customize files:
|
||||
|
||||
**Example: Renaming an agent and changing communication style**
|
||||
|
||||
File: `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Customize the PM agent
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
name: 'Captain Jack' # Override agent name
|
||||
role: 'Swashbuckling Product Owner'
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
- Talk like a pirate
|
||||
- Use nautical metaphors for software concepts
|
||||
- Always upbeat and adventurous
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Base agent: `{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/pm.md`
|
||||
- Customization: `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
|
||||
- Result: Agent uses your custom name and style, but updates don't overwrite your changes
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Document Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
### Sharded vs Unsharded Documents
|
||||
|
||||
**Good news**: Unlike v4, v6 workflows are **fully flexible** with document structure:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Sharded documents (split into multiple files)
|
||||
- ✅ Unsharded documents (single file per section)
|
||||
- ✅ Custom sections for your project type
|
||||
- ✅ Mixed approaches
|
||||
|
||||
All workflow files are scanned automatically. No manual configuration needed.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Clone Repository
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
cd BMAD-METHOD
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Run Installer on Your v4 Project
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx bmad-method install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Enter the full path to your v4 project** when prompted.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Follow Interactive Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
The installer will:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Detect v4 installation and offer to backup `.bmad-*` folders
|
||||
2. Prompt for recommended cleanup (you can skip)
|
||||
3. Let you select modules (recommend: BMM for software and or game development)
|
||||
4. Configure core settings (name, language, etc.)
|
||||
5. Configure module-specific options
|
||||
6. Configure IDE integrations
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Accept Default Paths
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using:
|
||||
|
||||
- `docs/` for PRD and architecture
|
||||
- `docs/sprint-artifacts/` for story files
|
||||
|
||||
**Accept these defaults** during installation.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Initialize Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
After installation:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Load the Analyst agent** - See your IDE-specific instructions in [docs/ide-info](./ide-info/) for how to activate agents:
|
||||
- [Claude Code](./ide-info/claude-code.md)
|
||||
- [Cursor](./ide-info/cursor.md)
|
||||
- [VS Code/Windsurf](./ide-info/) - Check your IDE folder
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Wait for the agent's menu** to appear
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Tell the agent**: `*workflow-init` - v6 supports excellent natural language fuzzy matching, so you could also say "workflow init" or "please init the workflow"
|
||||
|
||||
Since you are migrating an existing project from v4, it's most likely **Level 3 or 4** you will want to suggest when asked - if you've already completed PRD/architecture in v4.

# Using BMad Web Bundles in Gemini Gems & Custom GPTs
|
||||
|
||||
Web bundles package BMad agents as self-contained XML files that work in Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs. Everything the agent needs - instructions, workflows, dependencies - is bundled into a single file.
|
||||
|
||||
## What Are Web Bundles?
|
||||
|
||||
Web bundles are standalone XML files containing:
|
||||
|
||||
- Complete agent persona and instructions
|
||||
- All workflows and dependencies
|
||||
- Interactive menu system
|
||||
- Party mode for multi-agent collaboration
|
||||
- No external files required
|
||||
|
||||
**Perfect for:** Uploading a single file to a Gemini GEM or Custom GPT to use BMad Method from the Web, generally at a huge cost savings, at the expense of some quality and convenience of using locally.
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Setup Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**READ THIS FIRST - Following these rules ensures BMad works correctly in Gemini/GPT:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **ONE file per Gem/GPT** - Upload exactly ONE XML file per Gemini Gem or Custom GPT instance. Do NOT combine multiple agent files.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Use the setup instructions** - When creating your Gem/GPT, you MUST add the configuration prompt (shown in Quick Start below) so it knows how to read the XML file.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Enable Canvas/Code Execution** - This is ESSENTIAL for document generation workflows (PRD, Architecture, etc.). Enable this in your Gem/GPT settings.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Gemini Gems are strongly preferred** - They work significantly better than Custom GPTs for BMad workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Team bundles = Gemini 2.5 Pro+ only** - Team bundles (multiple agents) have terrible performance in Custom GPTs due to context limits. Only use them with Gemini 2.5 Pro or higher.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Create separate Gems for each agent** - Make a PM Gem, an Architect Gem, a Developer Gem, etc. Don't try to combine them (except via official team bundles).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Get Web Bundle Files
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: Download Pre-Bundled Files (Quickest)**
|
||||
|
||||
Download ready-to-use bundles that are automatically updated whenever commits are merged to main:
|
||||
|
||||
**[→ Download Web Bundles](https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/)**
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to the module folder (bmm, bmb, cis, bmgd) → agents folder → download the `.xml` file you need. These bundles are automatically regenerated and deployed with every commit to the main branch, ensuring you always have the latest version.
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: Generate from Local Installation**
|
||||
|
||||
From your BMad project directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate all agent bundles
|
||||
npm run bundle
|
||||
|
||||
# Or generate specific bundles
|
||||
node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js module bmm
|
||||
node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js agent bmm dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output location:** `web-bundles/` directory
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
web-bundles/
|
||||
├── bmm/
|
||||
│ ├── agents/ # Individual agents
|
||||
│ └── teams/ # Multi-agent teams
|
||||
├── bmb/
|
||||
├── cis/
|
||||
└── bmgd/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Upload to Gemini Gems (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT: Create ONE Gem per agent file. Do NOT upload multiple agent files to a single Gem.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Create a Gem:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/)
|
||||
2. Click "New Gem" or "Create Gem"
|
||||
3. Give your Gem a name (e.g., "BMad PM Agent")
|
||||
4. **Enable "Code execution" for best results with document generation**
|
||||
5. In the **System Instructions** field, add this EXACT text (customize the config values):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
All of your operating instructions and resources are contained in the XML file attached. Read in the initial agent block and instructions to understand it. You will not deviate from the character and rules outlined in the attached!
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG.YAML Values:
|
||||
- user_name: [Your Name]
|
||||
- communication_language: English
|
||||
- user_skill_level: [Beginner|Intermediate|Expert]
|
||||
- document_output_language: English
|
||||
- bmm-workflow-status: standalone (no workflow)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Upload ONE XML file** (e.g., `pm.xml`) - either attach as a file or paste contents
|
||||
7. Save and test your Gem by typing `*help` to see the menu
|
||||
|
||||
**Tips for Gemini:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Enable Code Execution/Canvas** - Critical for document output (PRDs, architecture docs, etc.)
|
||||
- **Use Gemini 2.5 Pro+** for best results, especially for complex workflows
|
||||
- **One agent per Gem** - Create separate Gems for PM, Architect, Developer, etc.
|
||||
- Test the agent by triggering menu items with `*workflow-name`
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Upload to Custom GPTs
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT: Create ONE Custom GPT per agent file. Do NOT upload multiple agent files to a single GPT.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Create a Custom GPT:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/)
|
||||
2. Click your profile → "My GPTs" → "Create a GPT"
|
||||
3. Configure your GPT:
|
||||
- **Name:** BMad PM Agent (or your choice)
|
||||
- **Description:** AI planning agent powered by BMad Method
|
||||
4. In the **Instructions** field, add this EXACT text at the top (customize the config values):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
All of your operating instructions and resources are contained in the XML file attached. Read in the initial agent block and instructions to understand it. You will not deviate from the character and rules outlined in the attached!
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG.YAML Values:
|
||||
- user_name: [Your Name]
|
||||
- communication_language: English
|
||||
- user_skill_level: [Beginner|Intermediate|Expert]
|
||||
- document_output_language: English
|
||||
- bmm-workflow-status: standalone (no workflow)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Below that text**, paste the entire contents of ONE XML file (e.g., `pm.xml`)
|
||||
6. **Enable "Canvas" in ChatGPT settings** for better document output
|
||||
7. Save and test by typing `*help`
|
||||
|
||||
**Tips for Custom GPTs:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Enable Canvas** - Essential for workflow document generation
|
||||
- **One agent per GPT** - Create separate GPTs for each agent
|
||||
- Custom GPTs have smaller context windows than Gemini - avoid team bundles
|
||||
- Works best with focused agents (PM, Analyst, Architect)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Team Bundles (Multi-Agent Collaboration)
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL: Team bundles are ONLY recommended for Gemini 2.5 Pro+ in the web. The experience is poor with Custom GPTs due to limited context windows.**
|
||||
|
||||
- **bmm/teams/team-fullstack.xml** - Full BMad Method development team
|
||||
- **bmgd/teams/team-gamedev.xml** - Game development team
|
||||
- **cis/teams/creative-squad.xml** - Creative Intelligence team
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use team bundles:**
|
||||
|
||||
- You want multiple agents collaborating in one Gem
|
||||
- You're using Gemini 2.5 Pro+ (required)
|
||||
- You need diverse perspectives on complex problems
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use individual agents instead:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Using Custom GPTs (always use individual agents)
|
||||
- Want focused expertise from a single agent
|
||||
- Need faster, more streamlined interactions
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Workflow: Web Planning → Local Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Save significant costs** by doing planning phases in web bundles, then switching to local IDE for implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cost-Saving Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 1-3: Do in Web (Major Cost Savings)**
|
||||
|
||||
Use Gemini Gems or Custom GPTs for these workflows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Analysis Phase** (Analyst, PM)
|
||||
- `*brainstorm-project` - Brainstorm ideas and features
|
||||
- `*research` - Market and technical research
|
||||
- `*product-brief` - Create product vision
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Planning Phase** (PM)
|
||||
- `*prd` - Generate comprehensive Product Requirements Document
|
||||
- `*create-epics-and-stories` - Break down into development stories
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Solutioning Phase** (Architect, UX Designer)
|
||||
- `*architecture` - Define technical architecture
|
||||
- `*create-ux-design` - Design user experience
|
||||
|
||||
**Export Artifacts:**
|
||||
After each workflow, copy/download the generated documents (PRD, Architecture, UX Design, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 4: Switch to Local IDE (Required for Implementation)**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Save exported artifacts to your project's `docs/` folder
|
||||
2. Run local BMad installation with `*workflow-init`
|
||||
3. BMad will detect the existing artifacts and update workflow status
|
||||
4. Proceed with implementation using Developer agent locally
|
||||
|
||||
**Why this works:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Planning workflows** are token-heavy but don't need code context
|
||||
- **Web models (Gemini/GPT)** handle planning excellently at lower cost
|
||||
- **Local IDE implementation** needs full codebase access and tools
|
||||
- **Best of both worlds**: Cost savings + full implementation capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
**Typical savings:** 60-80% cost reduction by doing analysis, planning, and architecture in web before moving to local implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Web Bundles
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Load the Agent**
|
||||
|
||||
Upload or paste the XML file into Gemini/GPT. The agent will introduce itself and show its menu.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Choose a Workflow**
|
||||
|
||||
Use natural language or shortcuts:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"Run the PRD workflow"
|
||||
*prd
|
||||
|
||||
"Start brainstorming"
|
||||
*brainstorm-project
|
||||
|
||||
"Show me the menu"
|
||||
*help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Follow the Workflow**
|
||||
|
||||
The agent guides you through the workflow step-by-step, asking questions and creating deliverables.
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced Features
|
||||
|
||||
**Party Mode**
|
||||
|
||||
All web bundles include party mode for multi-agent collaboration:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
*party
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This activates multiple agents who collaborate on your task, providing diverse perspectives.
|
||||
|
||||
**Context Loading**
|
||||
|
||||
Some workflows load additional context:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
*workflow-init # Initialize project workflow
|
||||
*document-project # Analyze existing codebase
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Dynamic Menus**
|
||||
|
||||
Agents adapt their menus based on project phase and available workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
## Platform Differences

|
||||
- Creative agents (CIS)
|
||||
- Simpler workflows (product-brief, brainstorm-project)
|
||||
- Quick prototyping
|
||||
|
||||
**NOT recommended for:** Team bundles, Developer agent, complex technical workflows
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization
|
||||
|
||||
**Before Bundling:**
|
||||
|
||||
Customize agents using the [Agent Customization Guide](./agent-customization-guide.md):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Edit `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/<agent>.customize.yaml`
|
||||
2. Rebuild: `npx bmad-method build <agent-name>`
|
||||
3. Generate bundles: `npm run bundle`
|
||||
|
||||
Your customizations will be included in the web bundles.
|
||||
|
||||
**After Bundling:**
|
||||
|
||||
You can manually edit the XML to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Change agent name (search for `<name>`)
|
||||
- Modify persona (search for `<persona>`)
|
||||
- Add custom instructions (in `<critical>` blocks)
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent not responding correctly?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Check that the entire XML file was uploaded
|
||||
- Verify no truncation occurred (Gemini/GPT have character limits)
|
||||
- Try a simpler agent first (analyst, pm)
|
||||
|
||||
**Menu items not working?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the `*` prefix for shortcuts: `*prd` not `prd`
|
||||
- Or use natural language: "Run the PRD workflow"
|
||||
- Check the agent's menu with `*help`
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflows failing?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Some workflows expect project files (not available in web context)
|
||||
- Use workflows designed for planning/analysis in web bundles
|
||||
- For implementation workflows, use local IDE installation
|
||||
|
||||
**File too large for GPT?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Split into sections and use multiple GPTs
|
||||
- Use Gemini Gems instead (better for large files)
|
||||
- Generate single-agent bundles instead of team bundles
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **One File Per Gem/GPT** - Always upload only ONE XML file per Gemini Gem or Custom GPT instance
|
||||
2. **Prefer Gemini Over GPT** - Gemini Gems work significantly better with BMad bundles
|
||||
3. **Enable Canvas/Code Execution** - Essential for document generation workflows (PRD, Architecture, etc.)
|
||||
4. **Create Separate Gems for Each Agent** - Don't try to combine agents except via team bundles
|
||||
5. **Team Bundles = Gemini 2.5 Pro+ Only** - Never use team bundles with Custom GPTs
|
||||
6. **Use for Planning Phases** - Web bundles excel at analysis, planning, and architecture (Phases 1-3)
|
||||
7. **Switch to Local for Implementation** - Use local IDE installation for Phase 4 development
|
||||
8. **Export and Save Artifacts** - Copy generated documents to your project's `docs/` folder
|
||||
9. **Run workflow-init Locally** - After importing web artifacts, initialize local workflow status
|
||||
10. **Keep Updated** - Rebuild bundles after BMad updates to get latest improvements
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Complete Web → Local Workflow (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Build a new SaaS product with maximum cost savings
|
||||

|
||||
- Place exported docs in project `docs/` folder
|
||||
- Load Developer agent
|
||||
- Run: `*workflow-init` → BMad detects artifacts, suggests next steps
|
||||
|
||||
8. **Implement:**
|
||||
- Run: `*sprint-planning` → Set up sprint
|
||||
- Run: `*dev-story` → Implement features
|
||||
- Use full IDE capabilities with codebase access
|
||||
|
||||
**Cost Savings:** 60-80% by doing planning in Gemini before local implementation

4. Choose technique (e.g., SCAMPER, Mind Mapping)
|
||||
5. Generate and refine ideas
|
||||
6. Export results for team review
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 3: Architecture Review
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download `bmm/agents/architect.xml`
|
||||
2. Create Gemini Gem (enable Code Execution)
|
||||
3. Paste existing PRD into conversation
|
||||
4. Run: `*architecture`
|
||||
5. Collaborate on technical decisions
|
||||
6. Export architecture document to `docs/architecture.md`
|
||||
|
||||

# Core Excalidraw Resources
|
||||
|
||||
Universal knowledge for creating Excalidraw diagrams. All agents that create Excalidraw files should reference these resources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Provides the **HOW** (universal knowledge) while agents provide the **WHAT** (domain-specific application).
|
||||
|
||||
**Core = "How to create Excalidraw elements"**
|
||||
|
||||
- How to group shapes with text labels
|
||||
- How to calculate text width
|
||||

**How to load external .excalidrawlib files**
|
||||
|
||||
- Programmatic library loading
|
||||
- Community library integration
|
||||
- Custom library management
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** To be developed when implementing external library support.
|
||||
|
||||
## How Agents Use These Resources
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Frame Expert (Technical Diagrams)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# workflows/diagrams/create-flowchart/workflow.yaml
|
||||
helpers: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/resources/excalidraw/excalidraw-helpers.md'
|
||||
json_validation: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/resources/excalidraw/validate-json-instructions.md'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Domain-specific additions:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# workflows/diagrams/_shared/flowchart-templates.yaml
|
||||
flowchart:
|
||||
start_node:
|
||||
type: ellipse
|
||||
width: 120
|
||||
height: 60
|
||||
process_box:
|
||||
type: rectangle
|
||||
width: 160
|
||||
height: 80
|
||||
decision_diamond:
|
||||
type: diamond
|
||||
width: 140
|
||||
height: 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Presentation Master (Creative Visuals)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# workflows/create-visual-metaphor/workflow.yaml
|
||||
helpers: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/resources/excalidraw/excalidraw-helpers.md'
|
||||
json_validation: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/resources/excalidraw/validate-json-instructions.md'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Domain-specific additions:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# workflows/_shared/creative-templates.yaml
|
||||
rube_goldberg:
|
||||
whimsical_connector:
|
||||
type: arrow
|
||||
strokeStyle: dashed
|
||||
roughness: 2
|
||||
playful_box:
|
||||
type: rectangle
|
||||
roundness: 12
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What Doesn't Belong in Core
|
||||
|
||||
**Domain-Specific Elements:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Flowchart-specific templates (belongs in Frame Expert)
|
||||
- Pitch deck layouts (belongs in Presentation Master)
|
||||
- Documentation-specific styles (belongs in Tech Writer)
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Workflows:**
|
||||
|
||||
- How to create a flowchart (Frame Expert workflow)
|
||||
- How to create a pitch deck (Presentation Master workflow)
|
||||
- Step-by-step diagram creation (agent-specific)
|
||||
|
||||
**Theming:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Currently in agent workflows
|
||||
- **Future:** Will be refactored to core as user-configurable themes
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture Principle
|
||||
|
||||
**Single Source of Truth:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Core holds universal knowledge
|
||||
- Agents reference core, don't duplicate
|
||||
- Updates to core benefit all agents
|
||||
- Agents specialize with domain knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
**DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself):**
|
||||
|
||||
- Element creation logic: ONCE in core
|
||||
- Text width calculation: ONCE in core
|
||||
- Validation process: ONCE in core
|
||||
- Arrow binding patterns: ONCE in core
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
1. **External Library Loader** - Load .excalidrawlib files from libraries.excalidraw.com
|
||||
2. **Theme Management** - User-configurable color themes saved in core
|
||||
3. **Component Library** - Shared reusable components across agents
|
||||
4. **Layout Algorithms** - Auto-layout helpers for positioning elements

# Excalidraw Element Creation Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
## Text Width Calculation
|
||||
|
||||
For text elements inside shapes (labels):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
text_width = (text.length × fontSize × 0.6) + 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Round to nearest 10 for grid alignment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Element Grouping Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL:** When creating shapes with labels:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Generate unique IDs:
|
||||
- `shape-id` for the shape
|
||||
- `text-id` for the text
|
||||
- `group-id` for the group
|
||||
|
||||
2. Shape element must have:
|
||||
- `groupIds: [group-id]`
|
||||
- `boundElements: [{type: "text", id: text-id}]`
|
||||
|
||||
3. Text element must have:
|
||||
- `containerId: shape-id`
|
||||
- `groupIds: [group-id]` (SAME as shape)
|
||||
- `textAlign: "center"`
|
||||
- `verticalAlign: "middle"`
|
||||
- `width: calculated_width`
|
||||
|
||||
## Grid Alignment
|
||||
|
||||
- Snap all `x`, `y` coordinates to 20px grid
|
||||
- Formula: `Math.round(value / 20) * 20`
|
||||
- Spacing between elements: 60px minimum
|
||||
|
||||
## Arrow Creation
|
||||
|
||||
### Straight Arrows
|
||||
|
||||
Use for forward flow (left-to-right, top-to-bottom):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "arrow",
|
||||
"startBinding": {
|
||||
"elementId": "source-shape-id",
|
||||
"focus": 0,
|
||||
"gap": 10
|
||||
},
|
||||
"endBinding": {
|
||||
"elementId": "target-shape-id",
|
||||
"focus": 0,
|
||||
"gap": 10
|
||||
},
|
||||
"points": [[0, 0], [distance_x, distance_y]]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Elbow Arrows
|
||||
|
||||
Use for upward flow, backward flow, or complex routing:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "arrow",
|
||||
"startBinding": {...},
|
||||
"endBinding": {...},
|
||||
"points": [
|
||||
[0, 0],
|
||||
[intermediate_x, 0],
|
||||
[intermediate_x, intermediate_y],
|
||||
[final_x, final_y]
|
||||
],
|
||||
"elbowed": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Connected Shapes
|
||||
|
||||
After creating arrow, update `boundElements` on both connected shapes:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "shape-id",
|
||||
"boundElements": [
|
||||
{ "type": "text", "id": "text-id" },
|
||||
{ "type": "arrow", "id": "arrow-id" }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Theme Application
|
||||
|
||||
Theme colors should be applied consistently:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Shapes**: `backgroundColor` from theme primary fill
|
||||
- **Borders**: `strokeColor` from theme accent
|
||||
- **Text**: `strokeColor` = "#1e1e1e" (dark text)
|
||||
- **Arrows**: `strokeColor` from theme accent
|
||||
|
||||
## Validation Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before saving, verify:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] All shapes with labels have matching `groupIds`
|
||||
- [ ] All text elements have `containerId` pointing to parent shape
|
||||
- [ ] Text width calculated properly (no cutoff)
|
||||
- [ ] Text alignment set (`textAlign` + `verticalAlign`)
|
||||
- [ ] All elements snapped to 20px grid
|
||||
- [ ] All arrows have `startBinding` and `endBinding`
|
||||
- [ ] `boundElements` array updated on connected shapes
|
||||
- [ ] Theme colors applied consistently
|
||||
- [ ] No metadata or history in final output
|
||||
- [ ] All IDs are unique
|
||||
|
||||
## Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
Remove from final output:
|
||||
|
||||
- `appState` object
|
||||
- `files` object (unless images used)
|
||||
- All elements with `isDeleted: true`
|
||||
- Unused library items

# External Library Loader
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Placeholder for future implementation
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Load external .excalidrawlib files from https://libraries.excalidraw.com or custom sources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Planned Capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
- Load libraries by URL
|
||||
- Load libraries from local files
|
||||
- Merge multiple libraries
|
||||
- Filter library components
|
||||
- Cache loaded libraries
|
||||
|
||||
## API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
Will document how to use:
|
||||
|
||||
- `importLibrary(url)` - Load library from URL
|
||||
- `loadSceneOrLibraryFromBlob()` - Load from file
|
||||
- `mergeLibraryItems()` - Combine libraries
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Example
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Future workflow.yaml structure
|
||||
libraries:
|
||||
- url: 'https://libraries.excalidraw.com/libraries/...'
|
||||
filter: ['aws', 'cloud']
|
||||
- path: '{project-root}/_data/custom-library.excalidrawlib'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
This will be developed when agents need to leverage the extensive library ecosystem available at https://libraries.excalidraw.com.
|
||||
|
||||
Hundreds of pre-built component libraries exist for:
|
||||
|

# JSON Validation Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Validate Excalidraw JSON files after saving to catch syntax errors (missing commas, brackets, quotes).
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Validate
|
||||
|
||||
Use Node.js built-in JSON parsing to validate the file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node -e "JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('FILE_PATH', 'utf8')); console.log('✓ Valid JSON')"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `FILE_PATH` with the actual file path.
|
||||
|
||||
## Exit Codes
|
||||
|
||||
- Exit code 0 = Valid JSON
|
||||
- Exit code 1 = Invalid JSON (syntax error)
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Output
|
||||
|
||||
If invalid, Node.js will output:
|
||||
|
||||
- Error message with description
|
||||
- Position in file where error occurred
|
||||
- Line and column information (if available)
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Errors and Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing Comma
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SyntaxError: Expected ',' or '}' after property value
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Add comma after the property value
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing Bracket/Brace
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Add missing closing bracket `]` or brace `}`
|
||||
|
||||
### Extra Comma (Trailing)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Remove the trailing comma before `]` or `}`
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing Quote
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SyntaxError: Unexpected token
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Add missing quote around string value
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Integration
|
||||
|
||||
After saving an Excalidraw file, run validation:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Save the file
|
||||
2. Run: `node -e "JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('{{save_location}}', 'utf8')); console.log('✓ Valid JSON')"`
|
||||
3. If validation fails:
|
||||
- Read the error message for line/position
|
||||
- Open the file at that location
|
||||
- Fix the syntax error
|
||||
- Save and re-validate
|
||||
4. Repeat until validation passes
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Rule
|
||||
|
||||
**NEVER delete the file due to validation errors - always fix the syntax error at the reported location.**

# Brainstorming Session Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The brainstorming workflow facilitates interactive brainstorming sessions using diverse creative techniques. This workflow acts as an AI facilitator guiding users through various ideation methods to generate and refine creative solutions in a structured, energetic, and highly interactive manner.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **36 Creative Techniques**: Comprehensive library spanning collaborative, structured, creative, deep, theatrical, wild, and introspective approaches
|
||||
- **Interactive Facilitation**: AI acts as a skilled facilitator using "Yes, and..." methodology
|
||||
- **Flexible Approach Selection**: User-guided, AI-recommended, random, or progressive technique flows
|
||||
- **Context-Aware Sessions**: Supports domain-specific brainstorming through context document input
|
||||
- **Systematic Organization**: Converges ideas into immediate opportunities, future innovations, and moonshots
|
||||
- **Action Planning**: Prioritizes top ideas with concrete next steps and timelines
|
||||
- **Session Documentation**: Comprehensive structured reports capturing all insights and outcomes
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow leverages configuration from `{bmad_folder}/core/config.yaml`:
|
||||
|
||||
- **output_folder**: Where session results are saved
|
||||
- **user_name**: Session participant identification
|
||||
|
||||
And the following has a default or can be passed in as an override for custom brainstorming scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
- **brain_techniques**: CSV database of 36 creative techniques, default is `./brain-methods.csv`
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### Files Included
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
brainstorming/
|
||||
├── workflow.yaml # Configuration and metadata
|
||||
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step execution guide
|
||||
├── template.md # Session report structure
|
||||
├── brain-methods.csv # Database of 36 creative techniques
|
||||
└── README.md # This file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Creative Techniques Library
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow includes 36 techniques organized into 7 categories:
|
||||
|
||||
### Collaborative Techniques
|
||||
|
||||
- **Yes And Building**: Build momentum through positive additions
|
||||
- **Brain Writing Round Robin**: Silent idea generation with sequential building
|
||||
- **Random Stimulation**: Use random catalysts for unexpected connections
|
||||
- **Role Playing**: Generate solutions from multiple stakeholder perspectives
|
||||
|
||||
### Structured Approaches
|
||||
|
||||
- **SCAMPER Method**: Systematic creativity through seven lenses (Substitute/Combine/Adapt/Modify/Put/Eliminate/Reverse)
|
||||
- **Six Thinking Hats**: Explore through six perspectives (facts/emotions/benefits/risks/creativity/process)
|
||||
- **Mind Mapping**: Visual branching from central concepts
|
||||
- **Resource Constraints**: Innovation through extreme limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Creative Methods
|
||||
|
||||
- **What If Scenarios**: Explore radical possibilities by questioning constraints
|
||||
- **Analogical Thinking**: Find solutions through domain parallels
|
||||
- **Reversal Inversion**: Flip problems upside down for fresh angles
|
||||
- **First Principles Thinking**: Strip away assumptions to rebuild from fundamentals
|
||||
- **Forced Relationships**: Connect unrelated concepts for innovation
|
||||
- **Time Shifting**: Explore solutions across different time periods
|
||||
- **Metaphor Mapping**: Use extended metaphors as thinking tools
|
||||
|
||||
### Deep Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
- **Five Whys**: Drill down through causation layers to root causes
|
||||
- **Morphological Analysis**: Systematically explore parameter combinations
|
||||
- **Provocation Technique**: Extract useful ideas from absurd starting points
|
||||
- **Assumption Reversal**: Challenge and flip core assumptions
|
||||
- **Question Storming**: Generate questions before seeking answers
|
||||
|
||||
### Theatrical Approaches
|
||||
|
||||
- **Time Travel Talk Show**: Interview past/present/future selves
|
||||
- **Alien Anthropologist**: Examine through completely foreign eyes
|
||||
- **Dream Fusion Laboratory**: Start with impossible solutions, work backwards
|
||||
- **Emotion Orchestra**: Let different emotions lead separate sessions
|
||||
- **Parallel Universe Cafe**: Explore under alternative reality rules
|
||||
|
||||
### Wild Methods
|
||||
|
||||
- **Chaos Engineering**: Deliberately break things to discover robust solutions
|
||||
- **Guerrilla Gardening Ideas**: Plant unexpected solutions in unlikely places
|
||||
- **Pirate Code Brainstorm**: Take what works from anywhere and remix
|
||||
- **Zombie Apocalypse Planning**: Design for extreme survival scenarios
|
||||
- **Drunk History Retelling**: Explain with uninhibited simplicity
|
||||
|
||||
### Introspective Delight
|
||||
|
||||
- **Inner Child Conference**: Channel pure childhood curiosity
|
||||
- **Shadow Work Mining**: Explore what you're avoiding or resisting
|
||||
- **Values Archaeology**: Excavate deep personal values driving decisions
|
||||
- **Future Self Interview**: Seek wisdom from your wiser future self
|
||||
- **Body Wisdom Dialogue**: Let physical sensations guide ideation
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Session Setup (Step 1)
|
||||
|
||||
- Context gathering (topic, goals, constraints)
|
||||
- Domain-specific guidance if context document provided
|
||||
- Session scope definition (broad exploration vs. focused ideation)
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Approach Selection (Step 2)
|
||||
|
||||
- **User-Selected**: Browse and choose specific techniques
|
||||
- **AI-Recommended**: Tailored technique suggestions based on context
|
||||
- **Random Selection**: Surprise technique for creative breakthrough
|
||||
- **Progressive Flow**: Multi-technique journey from broad to focused
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Interactive Facilitation (Step 3)
|
||||
|
||||
- Master facilitator approach using questions, not answers
|
||||
- "Yes, and..." building methodology
|
||||
- Energy monitoring and technique switching
|
||||
- Real-time idea capture and momentum building
|
||||

|
||||
### Phase 7: Session Reflection (Step 7)
|
||||
|
||||
- Analyze what worked well and areas for further exploration
|
||||
- Recommend follow-up techniques and next session planning
|
||||
- Capture emergent questions for future investigation
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 8: Report Generation (Step 8)
|
||||
|
||||
- Compile comprehensive structured report
|
||||
- Calculate total ideas generated and techniques used
|
||||
- Format all content for sharing and future reference
|
||||
|
||||

## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Before Starting
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Define Clear Intent**: Know whether you want broad exploration or focused problem-solving
|
||||
2. **Gather Context**: Prepare any relevant background documents or domain knowledge
|
||||
3. **Set Time Expectations**: Plan for 45-90 minutes for a comprehensive session
|
||||
4. **Create Open Environment**: Ensure distraction-free space for creative thinking
|
||||
|
||||
### During Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Embrace Quantity**: Generate many ideas without self-censoring
|
||||
2. **Build with "Yes, And"**: Accept and expand on ideas rather than judging
|
||||
3. **Stay Curious**: Follow unexpected connections and tangents
|
||||
4. **Trust the Process**: Let the facilitator guide you through technique transitions
|
||||
5. **Capture Everything**: Document all ideas, even seemingly silly ones
|
||||
6. **Monitor Energy**: Communicate when you need technique changes or breaks
|
||||
|
||||
### After Completion
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Review Within 24 Hours**: Re-read the report while insights are fresh
|
||||
2. **Act on Quick Wins**: Implement immediate opportunities within one week
|
||||
3. **Schedule Follow-ups**: Plan development sessions for promising concepts
|
||||
4. **Share Selectively**: Distribute relevant insights to appropriate stakeholders
|
||||
|
||||
## Facilitation Principles
|
||||
|
||||
The AI facilitator operates using these core principles:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Ask, Don't Tell**: Use questions to draw out participant's own ideas
|
||||
- **Build, Don't Judge**: Use "Yes, and..." methodology, never "No, but..."
|
||||
- **Quantity Over Quality**: Aim for volume in generation phase
|
||||
- **Defer Judgment**: Evaluation comes after generation is complete
|
||||
- **Stay Curious**: Show genuine interest in participant's unique perspectives
|
||||
- **Monitor Energy**: Adapt technique and pace to participant's engagement level
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Session Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### Progressive Technique Flow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Mind Mapping** (10 min) - Build the landscape of possibilities
|
||||
2. **SCAMPER** (15 min) - Systematic exploration of improvement angles
|
||||
3. **Six Thinking Hats** (15 min) - Multiple perspectives on solutions
|
||||
4. **Forced Relationships** (10 min) - Creative synthesis of unexpected connections
|
||||
|
||||
### Energy Checkpoints
|
||||
|
||||
- After 15-20 minutes: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
|
||||
- Before convergent phase: "Are you ready to start organizing ideas, or explore more?"
|
||||
- During action planning: "How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization
|
||||
|
||||
To customize this workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add New Techniques**: Extend `brain-methods.csv` with additional creative methods
|
||||
2. **Modify Facilitation Style**: Adjust prompts in `instructions.md` for different energy levels
|
||||
3. **Update Report Structure**: Modify `template.md` to include additional analysis sections
|
||||
4. **Create Domain Variants**: Develop specialized technique sets for specific industries
|
||||
|
||||
## Version History
|
||||
|
||||
- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
|
||||
- 36 creative techniques across 7 categories
|
||||

4. **Time Available:**
|
||||
- <30 min → 1-2 focused techniques
|
||||
- 30-60 min → 2-3 complementary techniques
|
||||
- >60 min → Consider progressive flow (3-5 techniques)
|
||||
|
||||
Present recommendations in your own voice with:
|
||||
- Technique name (category)
|
||||
- Why it fits their context (specific)
|
||||
- What they'll discover (outcome)
|
||||
- Estimated time
|
||||
|
||||
Example structure:
|
||||
"Based on your goal to [X], I recommend:
|
||||

- Start with divergent exploration (broad, generative)
|
||||
- Move through focused deep dive (analytical or creative)
|
||||
- End with convergent synthesis (integration, prioritization)
|
||||
|
||||
Common Patterns by Goal:
|
||||
- **Problem-solving:** Mind Mapping → Five Whys → Assumption Reversal
|
||||
- **Innovation:** What If Scenarios → Analogical Thinking → Forced Relationships
|
||||
- **Strategy:** First Principles → SCAMPER → Six Thinking Hats
|
||||
- **Team Building:** Brain Writing → Yes And Building → Role Playing
|
||||
|
||||
Present your recommended journey with:
|
||||
- Technique names and brief why
|
||||
- Estimated time for each (10-20 min)
|
||||
- Total session duration
|
||||
- Rationale for sequence
|
||||
|
||||
Ask in your own voice: "How does this flow sound? We can adjust as we go."
|
||||
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Create the output document using the template, and record at the {{session_start_plan}} documenting the chosen techniques, along with which approach was used. For all remaining steps, progressively add to the document throughout the brainstorming</critical>

||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="3" goal="Execute Techniques Interactively">
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>
|
||||
REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
|
||||
</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
<facilitation-principles>
|
||||
- Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas
|
||||
- Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..."
|
||||
- Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes
|
||||
- Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation
|
||||
- Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas
|
||||
</facilitation-principles>
|
||||
|
||||
For each technique:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
|
||||
2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
|
||||
- Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
|
||||
- These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
|
||||
3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
|
||||
4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
|
||||
5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
|
||||
6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
|
||||
- If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique
|
||||
- If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
|
||||
7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
|
||||
8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report
|
||||
|
||||
<example>
|
||||
Example facilitation flow for any technique:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]."
|
||||
|
||||
2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic
|
||||
- CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?"
|
||||
- Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?"
|
||||
|
||||
3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..."
|
||||

<guideline>Keep all responses strictly in-character based on merged personality data</guideline>
|
||||
<guideline>Use each agent's documented communication style consistently</guideline>
|
||||
<guideline>Reference agent memories and context when relevant</guideline>
|
||||
<guideline>Allow natural disagreements and different perspectives</guideline>
|
||||
<guideline>Maintain professional discourse while being engaging</guideline>
|
||||
<guideline>Let agents reference each other naturally by name or role</guideline>
|
||||
<guideline>Include personality-driven quirks and occasional humor</guideline>
|
||||
<guideline>Respect each agent's expertise boundaries</guideline>
|
||||
</guidelines>
|
||||
|
||||
## Question Handling Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
<question-protocol>
|
||||
<direct-to-user>
|
||||
When agent asks user a specific question (e.g., "What's your budget?"):
|
||||
- End that round immediately after the question
|
||||
- Clearly highlight the questioning agent and their question
|
||||
- Wait for user response before any agent continues
|
||||
</direct-to-user>
|
||||
|
||||
<rhetorical>
|
||||
Agents can ask rhetorical or thinking-aloud questions without pausing
|
||||
</rhetorical>
|
||||
|
||||
<inter-agent>
|
||||
Agents can question each other and respond naturally within same round
|
||||
</inter-agent>
|
||||
</question-protocol>
|
||||
|
||||
## Moderation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
<moderation>
|
||||
<note>If discussion becomes circular, have bmad-master summarize and redirect</note>
|
||||
<note>If user asks for specific agent, let that agent take primary lead</note>
|
||||
<note>Balance fun and productivity based on conversation tone</note>
|
||||
<note>Ensure all agents stay true to their merged personalities</note>
|
||||
<note>Exit gracefully when user indicates completion</note>

## Agent Types
|
||||
|
||||
BMB creates three agent architectures:
|
||||
|
||||
### Full Module Agent
|
||||
|
||||
- Complete persona and role definition
|
||||
- Command structure with fuzzy matching
|
||||
- Workflow integration
|
||||
- Module-specific capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
### Hybrid Agent
|
||||
|
||||
- Shared core capabilities
|
||||
- Module-specific extensions
|
||||
- Cross-module compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
### Standalone Agent
|
||||
|
||||
- Independent operation
|
||||
- Minimal dependencies
|
||||
- Specialized single purpose
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Load BMad Builder agent** in your IDE
|
||||
2. **Choose creation type:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
*create-agent # New agent
|
||||
*create-workflow # New workflow
|
||||
*create-module # Complete module
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. **Follow interactive prompts**
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Creating an Agent
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: I need a code review agent
|
||||
Builder: *create-agent
|
||||
|
||||
[Interactive session begins]
|
||||
- Brainstorming phase (optional)
|
||||
- Persona development
|
||||
- Command structure
|
||||
- Integration points
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Development Teams
|
||||
|
||||
Build specialized agents for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Domain expertise (legal, medical, finance)
|
||||
- Company processes
|
||||
- Tool integrations
|
||||
- Automation tasks
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
Create workflows for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Compliance requirements
|
||||
- Quality gates
|
||||
- Deployment pipelines
|
||||
- Custom methodologies
|
||||
|
||||
### Complete Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
Package modules for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Industry verticals
|
||||
- Technology stacks
|
||||
- Business processes
|
||||
- Educational frameworks
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Study existing patterns** - Review BMM/CIS implementations
|
||||
2. **Follow conventions** - Use established structures
|
||||
3. **Document thoroughly** - Clear instructions essential
|
||||
4. **Test iteratively** - Validate during creation
|
||||
5. **Consider reusability** - Build modular components
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration
|
||||
|
||||
BMB components integrate with:
|
||||
|
||||
- **BMad Core** - Framework foundation
|
||||
- **BMM** - Extend development capabilities
|
||||

# Agent Compilation: YAML to XML
|
||||
|
||||
What the compiler auto-injects. **DO NOT duplicate these in your YAML.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Compilation Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
agent.yaml → Handlebars processing → XML generation → frontmatter.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Source: `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js`
|
||||
|
||||
## File Naming Convention
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL:** Agent filenames must be ROLE-BASED, not persona-based.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why:** Users can customize the agent's persona name via `customize.yaml` config. The filename provides stable identity.
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
presentation-master.agent.yaml ← Role/function
|
||||
tech-writer.agent.yaml ← Role/function
|
||||
code-reviewer.agent.yaml ← Role/function
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
caravaggio.agent.yaml ← Persona name (users might rename to "Pablo")
|
||||
paige.agent.yaml ← Persona name (users might rename to "Sarah")
|
||||
rex.agent.yaml ← Persona name (users might rename to "Max")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Filename: `{role-or-function}.agent.yaml` (kebab-case)
|
||||
- Metadata ID: `{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/{role-or-function}.md`
|
||||
- Persona Name: User-customizable in metadata or customize.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# File: presentation-master.agent.yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
id: '{bmad_folder}/cis/agents/presentation-master.md'
|
||||
name: Caravaggio # ← Users can change this to "Pablo" or "Vince"
|
||||
title: Visual Communication & Presentation Expert
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-Injected Components
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Frontmatter
|
||||
|
||||
**Injected automatically:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: '{agent name from filename}'
|
||||
description: '{title from metadata}'
|
||||
---
|
||||
You must fully embody this agent's persona...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT add** frontmatter to your YAML source.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Activation Block
|
||||
|
||||
**Entire activation section is auto-generated:**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<activation critical="MANDATORY">
|
||||
<step n="1">Load persona from this current agent file</step>
|
||||
<step n="2">Load config to get {user_name}, {communication_language}</step>
|
||||
<step n="3">Remember: user's name is {user_name}</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- YOUR critical_actions inserted here as numbered steps -->
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="N">ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</step>
|
||||
<step n="N+1">Show greeting + numbered menu</step>
|
||||
<step n="N+2">STOP and WAIT for user input</step>
|
||||
<step n="N+3">Input resolution rules</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<menu-handlers>
|
||||
<!-- Only handlers used in YOUR menu are included -->
|
||||
</menu-handlers>
|
||||
|
||||
<rules>
|
||||
<!-- Standard agent behavior rules -->
|
||||
</rules>
|
||||
</activation>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT create** activation sections - compiler builds it from your critical_actions.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Menu Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
**Auto-injected menu items:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `*help` - Always FIRST in compiled menu
|
||||
- `*exit` - Always LAST in compiled menu
|
||||
|
||||
**Trigger prefixing:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Your trigger `analyze` becomes `*analyze`
|
||||
- Don't add `*` prefix - compiler does it
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT include:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - these are auto-injected
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: help
|
||||
description: 'Show help'
|
||||
- trigger: exit
|
||||
description: 'Exit'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Menu Handlers
|
||||
|
||||
Compiler detects which handlers you use and ONLY includes those:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<menu-handlers>
|
||||
<handlers>
|
||||
<!-- Only if you use action="#id" or action="text" -->
|
||||
<handler type="action">...</handler>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Only if you use workflow="path" -->
|
||||
<handler type="workflow">...</handler>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Only if you use exec="path" -->
|
||||
<handler type="exec">...</handler>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Only if you use tmpl="path" -->
|
||||
<handler type="tmpl">...</handler>
|
||||
</handlers>
|
||||
</menu-handlers>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT document** handler behavior - it's injected.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Rules Section
|
||||
|
||||
**Auto-injected rules:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Always communicate in {communication_language}
|
||||
- Stay in character until exit
|
||||
- Menu triggers use asterisk (\*) - NOT markdown
|
||||
- Number all lists, use letters for sub-options
|
||||
- Load files ONLY when executing menu items
|
||||
- Written output follows communication style
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT add** rules - compiler handles it.
|
||||
|
||||
## What YOU Provide in YAML
|
||||
|
||||
### Required
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: 'Persona Name'
|
||||
title: 'Agent Title'
|
||||
icon: 'emoji'
|
||||
type: 'simple|expert' # or module: "bmm"
|
||||
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
role: '...'
|
||||
identity: '...'
|
||||
communication_style: '...'
|
||||
principles: [...]
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: your-action
|
||||
action: '#prompt-id'
|
||||
description: 'What it does'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional (based on type)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Expert agents only
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'Load sidecar files...'
|
||||
- 'Restrict access...'
|
||||
|
||||
# Simple/Expert with embedded logic
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: prompt-id
|
||||
content: '...'
|
||||
|
||||
# Simple/Expert with customization
|
||||
install_config:
|
||||
questions: [...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Duplication Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Activation Logic
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - compiler builds activation
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
activation:
|
||||
steps: [...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Including Help/Exit
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - auto-injected
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: help
|
||||
- trigger: exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Prefixing Triggers
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - compiler adds *
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: '*analyze' # Should be: analyze
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Documenting Handlers
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - don't explain handlers, compiler injects them
|
||||
# When using workflow, load workflow.xml...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Rules in YAML
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - rules are auto-injected
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
rules:
|
||||
- Stay in character...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Compilation Example
|
||||
|
||||
**Your YAML:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: 'Rex'
|
||||
title: 'Code Reviewer'

||||

|
||||
type: simple
|
||||
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
role: Code Review Expert
|
||||
identity: Systematic reviewer...
|
||||
communication_style: Direct and constructive
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- Code should be readable
|
||||
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: review
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
Analyze code for issues...
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: review
|
||||
action: '#review'

\`\`\`
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Takeaways
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Compiler handles boilerplate** - Focus on persona and logic
|
||||
2. **Critical_actions become activation steps** - Just list your agent-specific needs
|
||||
3. **Menu items are enhanced** - Help/exit added, triggers prefixed
|
||||
4. **Handlers auto-detected** - Only what you use is included
|
||||
5. **Rules standardized** - Consistent behavior across agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Your job:** Define persona, prompts, menu actions
|
||||
**Compiler's job:** Activation, handlers, rules, help/exit, prefixes

# BMAD Agent Menu Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Design patterns for agent menus in YAML source files.
|
||||
|
||||
## Menu Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Agents define menus in YAML, with triggers auto-prefixed with `*` during compilation:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: action-name
|
||||
[handler]: [value]
|
||||
description: 'What this command does'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** `*help` and `*exit` are auto-injected by the compiler - DO NOT include them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Handler Types
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Action Handler (Prompts & Inline)
|
||||
|
||||
For simple and expert agents with self-contained logic.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference to Prompt ID:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: analyze-code
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
<instructions>
|
||||
Analyze the provided code for patterns and issues.
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
|
||||
<process>
|
||||
1. Identify code structure
|
||||
2. Check for anti-patterns
|
||||
3. Suggest improvements
|
||||
</process>
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: analyze
|
||||
action: '#analyze-code'
|
||||
description: 'Analyze code patterns'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Inline Instruction:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: quick-check
|
||||
action: 'Perform a quick syntax validation on the current file'
|
||||
description: 'Quick syntax check'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Simple/Expert agents with self-contained operations
|
||||
- `#id` for complex, multi-step prompts
|
||||
- Inline text for simple, one-line instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Workflow Handler
|
||||
|
||||
For module agents orchestrating multi-step processes.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: create-prd
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: brainstorm
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Guided brainstorming session'
|
||||
|
||||
# Placeholder for unimplemented workflows
|
||||
- trigger: future-feature
|
||||
workflow: 'todo'
|
||||
description: 'Coming soon'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Module agents with workflow integration
|
||||
- Multi-step document generation
|
||||
- Complex interactive processes
|
||||
- Use "todo" for planned but unimplemented features
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Exec Handler
|
||||
|
||||
For executing tasks directly.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: validate
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
|
||||
description: 'Validate document structure'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: advanced-elicitation
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
|
||||
description: 'Advanced elicitation techniques'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Single-operation tasks
|
||||
- Core system operations
|
||||
- Utility functions
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Template Handler
|
||||
|
||||
For document generation with templates.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: create-brief
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
|
||||
tmpl: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/brief.md'
|
||||
description: 'Create project brief'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Template-based document creation
|
||||
- Combine `exec` with `tmpl` path
|
||||
- Structured output generation
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Data Handler
|
||||
|
||||
Universal attribute for supplementary information.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: team-standup
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/standup.xml'
|
||||
data: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
|
||||
description: 'Run team standup'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: analyze-metrics
|
||||
action: 'Analyze these metrics and identify trends'
|
||||
data: '{project-root}/_data/metrics.json'
|
||||
description: 'Analyze performance metrics'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Add to ANY handler type
|
||||
- Reference data files (CSV, JSON, YAML)
|
||||
- Provide context for operations
|
||||
|
||||
## Platform-Specific Menus
|
||||
|
||||
Control visibility based on deployment target:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: git-flow
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/git-flow.xml'
|
||||
description: 'Git workflow operations'
|
||||
ide-only: true # Only in IDE environments
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: advanced-elicitation
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
|
||||
description: 'Advanced elicitation'
|
||||
web-only: true # Only in web bundles
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Trigger Naming Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
### Action-Based (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Creation
|
||||
- trigger: create-prd
|
||||
- trigger: build-module
|
||||
- trigger: generate-report
|
||||
|
||||
# Analysis
|
||||
- trigger: analyze-requirements
|
||||
- trigger: review-code
|
||||
- trigger: validate-architecture
|
||||
|
||||
# Operations
|
||||
- trigger: update-status
|
||||
- trigger: sync-data
|
||||
- trigger: deploy-changes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Domain-Based
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Development
|
||||
- trigger: brainstorm
|
||||
- trigger: architect
|
||||
- trigger: refactor
|
||||
|
||||
# Project Management
|
||||
- trigger: sprint-plan
|
||||
- trigger: retrospective
|
||||
- trigger: standup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Bad Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# TOO VAGUE
|
||||
- trigger: do
|
||||
- trigger: run
|
||||
- trigger: process
|
||||
|
||||
# TOO LONG
|
||||
- trigger: create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document
|
||||
|
||||
# NO VERB
|
||||
- trigger: prd
|
||||
- trigger: config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Menu Organization
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Order
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
# Note: *help auto-injected first by compiler
|
||||
|
||||
# 1. Primary workflows (main value)
|
||||
- trigger: workflow-init
|
||||
workflow: '...'
|
||||
description: 'Start here - initialize workflow'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: create-prd
|
||||
workflow: '...'
|
||||
description: 'Create PRD'
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Secondary operations
|
||||
- trigger: validate
|
||||
exec: '...'
|
||||
description: 'Validate document'
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Utilities
|
||||
- trigger: party-mode
|
||||
workflow: '...'
|
||||
description: 'Multi-agent discussion'
|
||||
|
||||
# Note: *exit auto-injected last by compiler
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Grouping by Phase
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
# Analysis Phase
|
||||
- trigger: brainstorm
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Brainstorm ideas'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: research
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/research/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Conduct research'
|
||||
|
||||
# Planning Phase
|
||||
- trigger: prd
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/2-planning/prd/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Create PRD'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: architecture
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/2-planning/architecture/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Design architecture'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Description Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Good Descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Clear action + object
|
||||
- description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
|
||||
|
||||
# Specific outcome
|
||||
- description: 'Analyze security vulnerabilities'
|
||||
|
||||
# User benefit
|
||||
- description: 'Optimize code for performance'
|
||||
|
||||
# Context when needed
|
||||
- description: 'Start here - initialize workflow path'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Poor Descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Too vague
|
||||
- description: 'Process'
|
||||
|
||||
# Technical jargon
|
||||
- description: 'Execute WF123'
|
||||
|
||||
# Missing context
|
||||
- description: 'Run'
|
||||
|
||||
# Redundant with trigger
|
||||
- description: 'Create PRD' # trigger: create-prd (too similar)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Prompts Section (Simple/Expert Agents)
|
||||
|
||||
### Prompt Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: unique-identifier
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
<instructions>
|
||||
What this prompt accomplishes
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
|
||||
<process>
|
||||
1. First step
|
||||
{{#if custom_option}}
|
||||
2. Conditional step
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
3. Final step
|
||||
</process>
|
||||
|
||||
<output_format>
|
||||
Expected structure of results
|
||||
</output_format>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Semantic XML Tags in Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
Use XML tags to structure prompt content:
|
||||
|
||||
- `<instructions>` - What to do
|
||||
- `<process>` - Step-by-step approach
|
||||
- `<output_format>` - Expected results
|
||||
- `<examples>` - Sample outputs
|
||||
- `<constraints>` - Limitations
|
||||
- `<context>` - Background information
|
||||
|
||||
### Handlebars in Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
Customize based on install_config:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: analyze
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
{{#if detailed_mode}}
|
||||
Perform comprehensive analysis with full explanations.
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
{{#unless detailed_mode}}
|
||||
Quick analysis focusing on key points.
|
||||
{{/unless}}
|
||||
|
||||
Address {{user_name}} in {{communication_style}} tone.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Path Variables
|
||||
|
||||
### Always Use Variables
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# GOOD - Portable paths
|
||||
workflow: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
|
||||
exec: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate.xml"
|
||||
data: "{project-root}/_data/metrics.csv"
|
||||
|
||||
# BAD - Hardcoded paths
|
||||
workflow: "/Users/john/project/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
|
||||
exec: "../../../core/tasks/validate.xml"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Available Variables
|
||||
|
||||
- `{project-root}` - Project root directory
|
||||
- `{bmad_folder}` - BMAD installation folder
|
||||
- `{agent-folder}` - Agent installation directory (Expert agents)

## Validation Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] No duplicate triggers
|
||||
- [ ] Triggers don't start with `*` (auto-added)
|
||||
- [ ] Every item has a description
|
||||
- [ ] Paths use variables, not hardcoded
|
||||
- [ ] `#id` references exist in prompts section
|
||||
- [ ] Workflow paths resolve or are "todo"
|
||||
- [ ] No `*help` or `*exit` (auto-injected)
|
||||
- [ ] Descriptions are clear and action-oriented
|
||||
- [ ] Platform-specific flags used correctly (ide-only, web-only)
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
### Duplicate Triggers
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - compiler will fail
|
||||
- trigger: analyze
|
||||
action: '#first'
|
||||
description: 'First analysis'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: analyze
|
||||
action: '#second'
|
||||
description: 'Second analysis'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Including Auto-Injected Items
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - these are auto-injected
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: help
|
||||
description: 'Show help'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: exit
|
||||
description: 'Exit agent'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing Prompt Reference
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - prompt id doesn't exist
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: analyze
|
||||
action: '#nonexistent-prompt'
|
||||
description: 'Analysis'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardcoded Paths
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# BAD - not portable
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: run
|
||||

# Expert Agent Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Domain-specific agents with persistent memory, sidecar files, and restricted access patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- Personal assistants (journal keeper, diary companion)
|
||||
- Specialized domain experts (legal advisor, medical reference)
|
||||
- Agents that need to remember past interactions
|
||||
- Agents with restricted file system access (privacy/security)
|
||||
- Long-term relationship agents that learn about users
|
||||
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Components
|
||||
|
||||
### Sidecar Files (CRITICAL)
|
||||
|
||||
Expert agents use companion files for persistence and domain knowledge:
|
||||
|
||||
**memories.md** - Persistent user context
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# Agent Memory Bank
|
||||
|
||||
## User Preferences
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Learned from interactions -->
|
||||
|
||||
## Session History
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Important moments and insights -->
|
||||
|
||||
## Personal Notes
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Agent observations -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**instructions.md** - Private directives
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# Agent Private Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Directives
|
||||
|
||||
- Maintain character consistency
|
||||
- Domain boundaries: {specific domain}
|
||||
- Access restrictions: Only sidecar folder
|
||||
|
||||
## Special Rules
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Agent-specific protocols -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**knowledge/** - Domain resources
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# Agent Knowledge Base
|
||||
|
||||
Add domain-specific documentation here.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical Actions
|
||||
|
||||
**MANDATORY for expert agents** - These load sidecar files at activation:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/memories.md and remember all past insights'
|
||||
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/instructions.md and follow ALL protocols'
|
||||
- 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/ - this is our private space'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **COMPLETE file loading** - Forces full file read, not partial
|
||||
- **Domain restrictions** - Limits file access for privacy/security
|
||||
- **Memory integration** - Past context becomes part of current session
|
||||
- **Protocol adherence** - Ensures consistent behavior
|
||||
|
||||
### {agent-folder} Variable
|
||||
|
||||
Special variable resolved during installation:
|
||||
|
||||
- Points to the agent's installation directory
|
||||
- Used to reference sidecar files
|
||||
- Example: `.bmad/custom/agents/journal-keeper/`
|
||||
|
||||
## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
|
||||
|
||||
Same as simple agents, PLUS:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Critical actions become numbered activation steps**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<step n="4">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md...</step>
|
||||
<step n="5">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md...</step>
|
||||
<step n="6">ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/...</step>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Sidecar files copied during installation**
|
||||
- Entire sidecar folder structure preserved
|
||||
- Relative paths maintained
|
||||
- Files ready for agent use
|
||||
|
||||
## Reference Example
|
||||
|
||||
See: `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/expert-examples/journal-keeper/`
|
||||
|
||||
Features demonstrated:
|
||||
|
||||
- Complete sidecar structure (memories, instructions, breakthroughs)
|
||||
- Critical actions for loading persistent context
|
||||
- Domain restrictions for privacy
|
||||
- Pattern recognition and memory recall
|
||||
- Handlebars-based personalization
|
||||
- Menu actions that update sidecar files
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Copy entire folder to your project
|
||||
cp -r /path/to/journal-keeper/ .bmad/custom/agents/
|
||||
|
||||
# Install with personalization
|
||||
bmad agent-install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The installer:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Detects expert agent (folder with .agent.yaml)
|
||||
2. Prompts for personalization
|
||||
3. Compiles agent YAML to XML-in-markdown
|
||||
4. **Copies sidecar files to installation target**
|
||||
5. Creates IDE slash commands
|
||||
6. Saves source for reinstallation
|
||||
|
||||
## Memory Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Accumulative Memory
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: save
|
||||
action: "Update {agent-folder}/sidecar/memories.md with today's session insights"
|
||||
description: 'Save session to memory'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Reference Memory
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: recall
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
<instructions>
|
||||
Reference memories.md naturally:
|
||||
"Last week you mentioned..." or "I notice a pattern..."
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Structured Insights
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: insight
|
||||
action: 'Document in {agent-folder}/sidecar/breakthroughs.md with date, context, significance'
|
||||
description: 'Record meaningful insight'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Domain Restriction Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Folder Access
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/sidecar/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### User Space Access
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'ONLY access files in {user-folder}/journals/ - private space'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Read-Only Access
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'Load knowledge from {agent-folder}/knowledge/ but NEVER modify'
|
||||
- 'Write ONLY to {agent-folder}/sessions/'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Load sidecar files in critical_actions** - Must be explicit and MANDATORY
|
||||
2. **Enforce domain restrictions** - Clear boundaries prevent scope creep
|
||||
3. **Use {agent-folder} paths** - Portable across installations
|
||||
4. **Design for memory growth** - Structure sidecar files for accumulation
|
||||
5. **Reference past naturally** - Don't dump memory, weave it into conversation
|
||||
6. **Separate concerns** - Memories, instructions, knowledge in distinct files
|
||||
7. **Include privacy features** - Users trust expert agents with personal data
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Continuity
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
I reference past conversations naturally:
|
||||
"Last time we discussed..." or "I've noticed over the weeks..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern Recognition
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'Track mood patterns, recurring themes, and breakthrough moments'
|
||||
- 'Cross-reference current session with historical patterns'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adaptive Responses
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
I learn your preferences and adapt my approach over time.
|
||||
{{#if track_preferences}}
|
||||
I maintain notes about what works best for you.
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
Comprehensive guides for each agent type (choose based on use case):

- [Custom Agent Installation](/docs/custom-agent-installation.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### YAML to XML Compilation
|
||||
|
||||
Agents are authored in YAML with Handlebars templating. The compiler auto-injects:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Frontmatter** - Name and description from metadata
|
||||
2. **Activation Block** - Steps, menu handlers, rules (YOU don't write this)
|
||||
3. **Menu Enhancement** - `*help` and `*exit` commands added automatically
|
||||
4. **Trigger Prefixing** - Your triggers auto-prefixed with `*`
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical:** See [Agent Compilation](./agent-compilation.md) to avoid duplicating auto-injected content.

# Module Agent Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Full integration agents with workflow orchestration, module-specific paths, and professional tooling.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- Professional development workflows (business analysis, architecture design)
|
||||
- Team-oriented tools (project management, sprint planning)
|
||||
- Agents that orchestrate multiple workflows
|
||||
- Module-specific functionality (BMM, BMB, CIS, custom modules)
|
||||
- Agents with complex multi-step operations
|
||||
|
||||
## File Location
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/modules/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.agent.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Compiles to:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.bmad/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## YAML Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
id: '{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.md'
|
||||
name: 'Persona Name'
|
||||
title: 'Professional Title'
|
||||
icon: 'emoji'
|
||||
module: '{module-code}'
|
||||
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
role: 'Primary expertise and function'
|
||||
identity: 'Background, experience, specializations'
|
||||
communication_style: 'Interaction approach, tone, methodology'
|
||||
principles: 'Core beliefs and methodology'
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: workflow-action
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Execute module workflow'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: another-workflow
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Execute core workflow'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: task-action
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/tasks/{task-name}.xml'
|
||||
description: 'Execute module task'
|
||||

||||
- trigger: cross-module
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/other-module/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Execute workflow from another module'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: with-template
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
|
||||
tmpl: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/templates/{template-name}.md'
|
||||
description: 'Create document from template'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: with-data
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/tasks/{task-name}.xml'
|
||||
data: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
|
||||
description: 'Execute task with data file'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Components
|
||||
|
||||
### Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
- **id**: Path with `{bmad_folder}` variable (resolved at install time)
|
||||
- **name**: Agent persona name
|
||||
- **title**: Professional role
|
||||
- **icon**: Single emoji
|
||||
- **module**: Module code (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
|
||||
|
||||
### Persona (Professional Voice)
|
||||
|
||||
Module agents typically use **professional** communication styles:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
role: Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert
|
||||
|
||||
identity: Senior analyst with deep expertise in market research, competitive analysis, and requirements elicitation. Specializes in translating vague needs into actionable specs.
|
||||
|
||||
communication_style: Systematic and probing. Connects dots others miss. Structures findings hierarchically. Uses precise unambiguous language. Ensures all stakeholder voices heard.
|
||||
|
||||
principles: Every business challenge has root causes waiting to be discovered. Ground findings in verifiable evidence. Articulate requirements with absolute precision.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Module agents usually don't use Handlebars templating since they're not user-customized - they're professional tools with fixed personalities.
|
||||
|
||||
### Menu Handlers
|
||||
|
||||
#### Workflow Handler (Most Common)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: create-prd
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Invokes BMAD workflow engine to execute multi-step processes.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Task/Exec Handler
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: validate
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
|
||||
description: 'Validate document structure'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Executes single-operation tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Template Handler
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: create-brief
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
|
||||
tmpl: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/brief.md'
|
||||
description: 'Create project brief from template'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Combines task execution with template file.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Data Handler
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: team-standup
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/standup.xml'
|
||||
data: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
|
||||
description: 'Run team standup with agent roster'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Provides data file to task.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Placeholder Handler
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: future-feature
|
||||
workflow: 'todo'
|
||||
description: 'Feature planned but not yet implemented'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Marks unimplemented features - compiler handles gracefully.
|
||||
|
||||
### Platform-Specific Menu Items
|
||||
|
||||
Control visibility based on platform:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: advanced-elicitation
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
|
||||
description: 'Advanced elicitation techniques'
|
||||
web-only: true # Only shows in web bundle
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: git-operations
|
||||
exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/git-flow.xml'
|
||||
description: 'Git workflow operations'
|
||||
ide-only: true # Only shows in IDE environments
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Variable System
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Variables
|
||||
|
||||
- `{project-root}` - Root directory of installed project
|
||||
- `{bmad_folder}` - BMAD installation folder (usually `.bmad`)
|
||||
- `{user_name}` - User's name from module config
|
||||
- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
|
||||
- `{output_folder}` - Document output directory
|
||||
|
||||
### Path Construction
|
||||
|
||||
**Always use variables, never hardcoded paths:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# GOOD
|
||||
workflow: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
|
||||
|
||||
# BAD
|
||||
workflow: "/Users/john/project/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
|
||||
|
||||
# BAD
|
||||
workflow: "../../../bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
|
||||
|
||||
Module agents use the same injection process as simple agents:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Frontmatter** with name and description
|
||||
2. **Activation block** with standard steps
|
||||
3. **Menu handlers** based on usage (workflow, exec, tmpl, data)
|
||||
4. **Rules section** for consistent behavior
|
||||
5. **Auto-injected** *help and *exit commands
|
||||
|
||||
**Key difference:** Module agents load **module-specific config** instead of core config:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<step n="2">Load and read {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml...</step>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||
|
||||
- Workflow orchestration for analysis phase
|
||||
- Multiple workflow integrations
|
||||
- Cross-module workflow access (core/workflows/party-mode)
|
||||
|
||||
**architect.agent.yaml** - System Architect
|
||||
|
||||
- Technical workflow management
|
||||
- Architecture decision workflows
|
||||
|
||||
**pm.agent.yaml** - Product Manager
|
||||
|
||||
- Planning and coordination workflows
|
||||
- Sprint management integration
|
||||
|
||||
## Module Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Each module has `config.yaml` providing:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# src/modules/{module}/config.yaml
|
||||
user_name: 'User Name'
|
||||
communication_language: 'English'
|
||||
output_folder: '{project-root}/docs'
|
||||
custom_settings: 'module-specific values'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Agents load this at activation for consistent behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Integration Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Sequential Workflow Execution
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: init
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/workflow-init/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Initialize workflow path (START HERE)'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: status
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Check current workflow status'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: next-step
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/next-step/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Execute next workflow in sequence'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase-Based Organization
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
# Phase 1: Analysis
|
||||
- trigger: brainstorm
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Guided brainstorming session'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: research
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/research/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Market and technical research'
|
||||
|
||||
# Phase 2: Planning
|
||||
- trigger: prd
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/2-planning/prd/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Create PRD'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: architecture
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/2-planning/architecture/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Design architecture'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cross-Module Access
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: party-mode
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Bring all agents together'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: brainstorm
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/cis/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Use CIS brainstorming techniques'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use {bmad_folder} paths** - Portable across installations
|
||||
2. **Organize workflows by phase** - Clear progression for users
|
||||
3. **Include workflow-status** - Help users track progress
|
||||
4. **Reference module config** - Consistent behavior
|
||||
5. **No Handlebars templating** - Module agents are fixed personalities
|
||||
6. **Professional personas** - Match module purpose
|
||||
7. **Clear trigger names** - Self-documenting commands
|
||||
8. **Group related workflows** - Logical menu organization
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Entry Point Agent
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: start
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/init/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Start new project (BEGIN HERE)'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Status Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: status
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/status/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Check workflow progress'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Team Coordination
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: party
|
||||
workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: 'Multi-agent discussion'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Module Agent vs Simple/Expert
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Module Agent | Simple/Expert Agent |
|
||||
| ------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Location | `{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/` | `{bmad_folder}/custom/agents/` |
|
||||
| Persona | Fixed, professional | Customizable via install_config |
|
||||
| Handlebars | No templating | Yes, extensive |
|
||||
| Menu actions | Workflows, tasks, templates | Prompts, inline actions |
|
||||
| Configuration | Module config.yaml | Core config or none |
|
||||
| Purpose | Professional tooling | Personal utilities |
|
||||
|
||||

# Simple Agent Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Self-contained agents with prompts, menus, and optional install-time customization.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- Single-purpose utilities (commit message generator, code formatter)
|
||||
- Self-contained logic with no external dependencies
|
||||
- Agents that benefit from user customization (style, tone, preferences)
|
||||
- Quick-to-build standalone helpers
|
||||
|
||||
## YAML Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
id: .bmad/agents/{agent-name}/{agent-name}.md

|
||||
<instructions>
|
||||
What this prompt does
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
|
||||
<process>
|
||||
1. Step one
|
||||
{{#if detailed_mode}}
|
||||
2. Additional detailed step

|
||||
description: 'Execute the main action'

|
||||
- var: custom_variable
|
||||
prompt: 'Your custom text'
|
||||
type: text
|
||||
default: ''
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Components
|
||||
|
||||
### Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
- **id**: Final compiled path (`.bmad/agents/{name}/{name}.md` for standalone)
|
||||
- **name**: Agent's persona name displayed to users
|
||||
- **title**: Professional role/function
|
||||
- **icon**: Single emoji for visual identification
|
||||
- **type**: `simple` - identifies agent category
|
||||
|
||||
### Persona (First-Person Voice)
|
||||
|
||||
- **role**: Primary expertise in 1-2 sentences
|
||||
- **identity**: Background and specializations (2-5 sentences)
|
||||
- **communication_style**: HOW the agent interacts, including conditional variations
|
||||
- **principles**: Array of core beliefs (start with action verbs)
|
||||
|
||||
### Prompts with IDs
|
||||
|
||||
Reusable prompt templates referenced by `#id`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: analyze-code
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
<instructions>
|
||||
Analyze the provided code for patterns
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Menu items reference these:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: analyze
|
||||
action: '#analyze-code'
|
||||
description: 'Analyze code patterns'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Menu Actions
|
||||
|
||||
Two forms of action handlers:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Prompt Reference**: `action: "#prompt-id"` - Executes prompt content
|
||||
2. **Inline Instruction**: `action: "Direct text instruction"` - Executes text directly
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Config (Compile-Time Customization)
|
||||
|
||||
Questions asked during `bmad agent-install`:
|
||||
|
||||
**Question Types:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `choice` - Multiple choice selection
|
||||
- `boolean` - Yes/no toggle
|
||||
- `text` - Free-form text input
|
||||
|
||||
**Variables become available in Handlebars:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
{{#if variable_name}}
|
||||
Content when true
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if variable_name == "value"}}
|
||||
Content when equals value
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#unless variable_name}}
|
||||
Content when false
|
||||
{{/unless}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
|
||||
|
||||
The `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js` automatically adds:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **YAML Frontmatter**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: 'agent name'
|
||||
description: 'Agent Title'
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Activation Block**
|
||||
- Load persona step
|
||||
- Load core config for {user_name}, {communication_language}
|
||||
- Agent-specific critical_actions as numbered steps
|
||||
- Menu display and input handling
|
||||
- Menu handlers (action/workflow/exec/tmpl) based on usage
|
||||
- Rules section
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Auto-Injected Menu Items**
|
||||
- `*help` always first
|
||||
- `*exit` always last
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Trigger Prefixing**
|
||||
- Triggers without `*` get it added automatically
|
||||
|
||||
## Reference Example
|
||||
|
||||
See: `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
|
||||
|
||||
Features demonstrated:
|
||||
|
||||
- Handlebars conditionals for style variations
|
||||
- Multiple prompt templates with semantic XML tags
|
||||
- Install config with choice, boolean, and text questions
|
||||
- Menu items using both `#id` references and inline actions
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Copy to your project
|
||||
cp /path/to/commit-poet.agent.yaml .bmad/custom/agents/
|
||||
|
||||
# Install with personalization
|
||||
bmad agent-install
|
||||
# or: npx bmad agent-install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The installer:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Prompts for personalization (name, preferences)
|
||||
2. Processes Handlebars templates with your answers
|
||||
3. Compiles YAML to XML-in-markdown
|
||||
4. Creates IDE slash commands
|
||||
5. Saves source for reinstallation
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use first-person voice** in all persona elements
|
||||
2. **Keep prompts focused** - one clear purpose per prompt
|
||||
3. **Leverage Handlebars** for user customization without code changes
|
||||
4. **Provide sensible defaults** in install_config
|
||||
5. **Use semantic XML tags** in prompt content for clarity
|
||||
6. **Test all conditional paths** before distribution
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Style Variants
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
{{#if enthusiasm == "high"}}
|
||||
Enthusiastic and energetic approach!
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
{{#if enthusiasm == "moderate"}}
|
||||
Balanced and professional demeanor.
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Feature Toggles
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: main-action
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
{{#if advanced_mode}}
|
||||
Include advanced analysis steps...
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
{{#unless advanced_mode}}
|
||||
Basic analysis only...
|
||||
{{/unless}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### User Personalization
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
{{#if custom_name}}
|
||||
Known as {{custom_name}} to you.
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

# Understanding Agent Types: Architecture, Not Capability
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL DISTINCTION:** Agent types define **architecture and integration**, NOT capability limits.
|
||||
|
||||
ALL agent types can:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✓ Write to {output_folder}, {project-root}, or anywhere on system
|
||||
- ✓ Update artifacts and files
|
||||
- ✓ Execute bash commands
|
||||
- ✓ Use core variables ({bmad_folder}, {output_folder}, etc.)
|
||||
- ✓ Have complex prompts and logic
|
||||
- ✓ Invoke external tools
|
||||
|
||||
## What Actually Differs
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Simple | Expert | Module |
|
||||
| ---------------------- | ------------- | --------------------- | ------------------ |
|
||||
| **Self-contained** | ✓ All in YAML | Sidecar files | Sidecar optional |
|
||||
| **Persistent memory** | ✗ Stateless | ✓ memories.md | ✓ If needed |
|
||||
| **Knowledge base** | ✗ | ✓ sidecar/knowledge/ | Module/shared |
|
||||
| **Domain restriction** | ✗ System-wide | ✓ Sidecar only | Optional |
|
||||
| **Personal workflows** | ✗ | ✓ Sidecar workflows\* | ✗ |
|
||||
| **Module workflows** | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ Shared workflows |
|
||||
| **Team integration** | Solo utility | Personal assistant | Team member |
|
||||
|
||||
\*Expert agents CAN have personal workflows in sidecar if critical_actions loads workflow engine
|
||||
|
||||
## The Same Agent, Three Ways
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario:** Code Generator Agent
|
||||
|
||||
### As Simple Agent (Architecture: Self-contained)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: CodeGen
|
||||
type: simple
|
||||
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: generate
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
Ask user for spec details. Generate code.
|
||||
Write to {output_folder}/generated/
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: generate
|
||||
action: '#generate'
|
||||
description: Generate code from spec
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What it can do:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✓ Writes files to output_folder
|
||||
- ✓ Full I/O capability
|
||||
- ✗ No memory of past generations
|
||||
- ✗ No personal coding style knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
**When to choose:** Each run is independent, no need to remember previous sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
### As Expert Agent (Architecture: Personal sidecar)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: CodeGen
|
||||
type: expert
|
||||
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- Load my coding standards from sidecar/knowledge/
|
||||
- Load memories from sidecar/memories.md
|
||||
- RESTRICT: Only operate within sidecar folder
|
||||
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: generate
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
Reference user's coding patterns from knowledge base.
|
||||
Remember past generations from memories.
|
||||
Write to sidecar/generated/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What it can do:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✓ Remembers user preferences
|
||||
- ✓ Personal knowledge base
|
||||
- ✓ Domain-restricted for safety
|
||||
- ✓ Learns over time
|
||||
|
||||
**When to choose:** Need persistent memory, learning, or domain-specific restrictions.
|
||||
|
||||
### As Module Agent (Architecture: Team integration)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: CodeGen
|
||||
module: bmm
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: implement-story
|
||||
workflow: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/dev-story/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: Implement user story
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: refactor
|
||||
workflow: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/refactor/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
description: Refactor codebase
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What it can do:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✓ Orchestrates full dev workflows
|
||||
- ✓ Coordinates with other BMM agents
|
||||
- ✓ Shared team infrastructure
|
||||
- ✓ Professional operations
|
||||
|
||||
**When to choose:** Part of larger system, orchestrates workflows, team coordination.
|
||||
|
||||
## Important: Any Agent Can Be Added to a Module
|
||||
|
||||
**CLARIFICATION:** The "Module Agent" type is about **design intent and ecosystem integration**, not just file location.
|
||||
|
||||
### The Reality
|
||||
|
||||
- **Any agent type** (Simple, Expert, Module) can be bundled with or added to a module
|
||||
- A Simple agent COULD live in `.bmad/bmm/agents/`
|
||||
- An Expert agent COULD be included in a module bundle
|
||||
|
||||
### What Makes a "Module Agent" Special
|
||||
|
||||
A **Module Agent** is specifically:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Designed FOR** a particular module ecosystem (BMM, CIS, BMB, etc.)
|
||||
2. **Uses or contributes** that module's workflows
|
||||
3. **Included by default** in that module's bundle
|
||||
4. **Coordinates with** other agents in that module
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple Agent added to BMM:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Lives in `.bmad/bmm/agents/formatter.agent.yaml`
|
||||
- Bundled with BMM for convenience
|
||||
- But still stateless, self-contained
|
||||
- NOT a "Module Agent" - just a Simple agent in a module
|
||||
|
||||
**Module Agent in BMM:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Lives in `.bmad/bmm/agents/tech-writer.agent.yaml`
|
||||
- Orchestrates BMM documentation workflows
|
||||
- Coordinates with other BMM agents (PM, Dev, Analyst)
|
||||
- Included in default BMM bundle
|
||||
- IS a "Module Agent" - designed for BMM ecosystem
|
||||
|
||||
**The distinction:** File location vs design intent and integration.
|
||||
|
||||
## Choosing Your Agent Type
|
||||
|
||||
### Choose Simple when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Single-purpose utility (no memory needed)
|
||||
- Stateless operations (each run is independent)
|
||||
- Self-contained logic (everything in YAML)
|
||||
- No persistent context required
|
||||
|
||||
### Choose Expert when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Need to remember things across sessions
|
||||
- Personal knowledge base (user preferences, domain data)
|
||||
- Domain-specific expertise with restricted scope
|
||||
- Learning/adapting over time
|
||||
|
||||
### Choose Module when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Designed FOR a specific module ecosystem (BMM, CIS, etc.)
|
||||
- Uses or contributes that module's workflows
|
||||
- Coordinates with other module agents
|
||||
- Will be included in module's default bundle
|
||||
- Part of professional team infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
## The Golden Rule
|
||||
|
||||
**Choose based on state and integration needs, NOT on what the agent can DO.**
|
||||
|
||||
All three types are equally powerful. The difference is how they manage state, where they store data, and how they integrate with your system.

# Expert Agent Reference: Personal Journal Keeper (Whisper)
|
||||
|
||||
This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Expert Agent** - an agent with persistent memory and domain-specific resources via a sidecar folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Name:** Whisper
|
||||
**Type:** Expert Agent
|
||||
**Purpose:** Personal journal companion that remembers your entries, tracks mood patterns, and notices themes over time
|
||||
|
||||
This reference demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
- Expert Agent with focused sidecar resources
|
||||
- Embedded prompts PLUS sidecar file references (hybrid pattern)
|
||||
- Persistent memory across sessions
|
||||
- Domain-restricted file access
|
||||
- Pattern tracking and recall
|
||||
- Simple, maintainable architecture
|
||||
|
||||
## Directory Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
agent-with-memory/
|
||||
├── README.md # This file
|
||||
├── journal-keeper.agent.yaml # Main agent definition
|
||||
└── journal-keeper-sidecar/ # Agent's private workspace
|
||||
├── instructions.md # Core directives
|
||||
├── memories.md # Persistent session memory
|
||||
├── mood-patterns.md # Emotional tracking data
|
||||
├── breakthroughs.md # Key insights recorded
|
||||
└── entries/ # Individual journal entries
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple and focused!** Just 4 core files + a folder for entries.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Architecture Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Hybrid Command Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
Expert Agents can use BOTH:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Embedded prompts** via `action: "#prompt-id"` (like Simple Agents)
|
||||
- **Sidecar file references** via direct paths
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
# Embedded prompt (like Simple Agent)
|
||||
- trigger: 'write'
|
||||
action: '#guided-entry'
|
||||
description: "Write today's journal entry"
|
||||
|
||||
# Direct sidecar file action
|
||||
- trigger: 'insight'
|
||||
action: 'Document this breakthrough in {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/breakthroughs.md'
|
||||
description: 'Record a meaningful insight'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds!
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Mandatory Critical Actions
|
||||
|
||||
Expert Agents MUST load sidecar files explicitly:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/memories.md'
|
||||
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/instructions.md'
|
||||
- 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key points:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Files are loaded at startup
|
||||
- Domain restriction is enforced
|
||||
- Agent knows its boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Persistent Memory Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
The `memories.md` file stores:
|
||||
|
||||
- User preferences and patterns
|
||||
- Session notes and observations
|
||||
- Recurring themes discovered
|
||||
- Growth markers tracked
|
||||
|
||||
**Critically:** This is updated EVERY session, creating continuity.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Domain-Specific Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Different files track different aspects:
|
||||
|
||||
- **memories.md** - Qualitative insights and observations
|
||||
- **mood-patterns.md** - Quantitative emotional data
|
||||
- **breakthroughs.md** - Significant moments
|
||||
- **entries/** - The actual content (journal entries)
|
||||
|
||||
This separation makes data easy to reference and update.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Simple Sidecar Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike modules with complex folder hierarchies, Expert Agent sidecars are flat and focused:
|
||||
|
||||
- Just the files the agent needs
|
||||
- No nested workflows or templates
|
||||
- Easy to understand and maintain
|
||||
- All domain knowledge in one place
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison: Simple vs Expert vs Module
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Simple Agent | Expert Agent | Module Agent |
|
||||
| ------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------- |
|
||||
| Architecture | Single YAML | YAML + sidecar folder | YAML + module system |
|
||||
| Memory | Session only | Persistent (sidecar files) | Config-driven |
|
||||
| Prompts | Embedded only | Embedded + external files | Workflow references |
|
||||
| Dependencies | None | Sidecar folder | Module workflows/tasks |
|
||||
| Domain Access | None | Restricted to sidecar | Full module access |
|
||||
| Complexity | Low | Medium | High |
|
||||
| Use Case | Self-contained tools | Domain experts with memory | Full workflow systems |
|
||||
|
||||
## The Sweet Spot
|
||||
|
||||
Expert Agents are the middle ground:
|
||||
|
||||
- **More powerful** than Simple Agents (persistent memory, domain knowledge)
|
||||
- **Simpler** than Module Agents (no workflow orchestration)
|
||||
- **Focused** on specific domain expertise
|
||||
- **Personal** to the user's needs
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Expert Agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Perfect for:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Personal assistants that need memory (journal keeper, diary, notes)
|
||||
- Domain specialists with knowledge bases (specific project context)
|
||||
- Agents that track patterns over time (mood, habits, progress)
|
||||
- Privacy-focused tools with restricted access
|
||||
- Tools that learn and adapt to individual users
|
||||
|
||||
**Key indicators:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Need to remember things between sessions
|
||||
- Should only access specific folders/files
|
||||
- Tracks data over time
|
||||
- Adapts based on accumulated knowledge
|
||||
|
||||

||||
- Standard agent metadata and persona
|
||||
- **Embedded prompts** for guided interactions
|
||||

|
||||
- Each entry timestamped and tagged
|
||||
- Raw content preserved
|
||||
- Agent observations separate from user words
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern Recognition in Action
|
||||
|
||||
Expert Agents excel at noticing patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Reference past sessions:** "Last week you mentioned feeling stuck..."
|
||||
2. **Track quantitative data:** Mood scores over time
|
||||
3. **Spot recurring themes:** Topics that keep surfacing
|
||||
4. **Notice growth:** Changes in language, perspective, emotions
|
||||
5. **Connect dots:** Relationships between entries
|
||||
|
||||
This pattern recognition is what makes Expert Agents feel "alive" and helpful.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Starting Fresh
|
||||
|
||||
The sidecar files are templates. A new user would:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start journaling with the agent
|
||||
2. Agent fills in memories.md over time
|
||||
3. Patterns emerge from accumulated data
|
||||
4. Insights build from history
|
||||
|
||||
### Building Your Own Expert Agent
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Define the domain** - What specific area will this agent focus on?
|
||||
2. **Choose sidecar files** - What data needs to be tracked/remembered?
|
||||
3. **Mix command patterns** - Use embedded prompts + sidecar references
|
||||
4. **Enforce boundaries** - Clearly state domain restrictions
|
||||
5. **Design for accumulation** - How will memory grow over time?
|
||||
|
||||
### Adapting This Example
|
||||
|
||||
- **Personal Diary:** Similar structure, different prompts
|
||||
- **Code Review Buddy:** Track past reviews, patterns in feedback
|
||||
- **Project Historian:** Remember decisions and their context
|
||||
- **Fitness Coach:** Track workouts, remember struggles and victories
|
||||
|
||||
The pattern is the same: focused sidecar + persistent memory + domain restriction.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Takeaways
|
||||
|
||||
- **Expert Agents** bridge Simple and Module complexity
|
||||
- **Sidecar folders** provide persistent, domain-specific memory
|
||||
- **Hybrid commands** use both embedded prompts and file references
|
||||
- **Pattern recognition** comes from accumulated data
|
||||
- **Simple structure** keeps it maintainable
|
||||
- **Domain restriction** ensures focused expertise
|
||||
- **Memory is the superpower** - remembering makes the agent truly useful

# Whisper's Core Directives
|
||||
|
||||
## STARTUP PROTOCOL
|
||||
|
||||
1. Load memories.md FIRST - know our history together
|
||||
2. Check mood-patterns.md for recent emotional trends
|
||||
3. Greet with awareness of past sessions: "Welcome back. Last time you mentioned..."
|
||||
4. Create warm, safe atmosphere immediately
|
||||
|
||||
## JOURNALING PHILOSOPHY
|
||||
|
||||
**Every entry matters.** Whether it's three words or three pages, honor what's written.
|
||||
|
||||
**Patterns reveal truth.** Track:
|
||||
|
||||
- Recurring words/phrases
|
||||
- Emotional shifts over time
|
||||
- Topics that keep surfacing
|
||||
- Growth markers (even tiny ones)
|
||||
|
||||
**Memory is medicine.** Reference past entries to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Show continuity and care
|
||||
- Highlight growth they might not see
|
||||
- Connect today's struggles to past victories
|
||||
- Validate their journey
|
||||
|
||||
## SESSION GUIDELINES
|
||||
|
||||
### During Entry Writing
|
||||
|
||||
- Never interrupt the flow
|
||||
- Ask clarifying questions after, not during
|
||||
- Notice what's NOT said as much as what is
|
||||
- Spot emotional undercurrents
|
||||
|
||||
### After Each Entry
|
||||
|
||||
- Summarize what you heard (validate)
|
||||
- Note one pattern or theme
|
||||
- Offer one gentle reflection
|
||||
- Always save to memories.md
|
||||
|
||||
### Mood Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
- Track numbers AND words
|
||||
- Look for correlations over time
|
||||
- Never judge low numbers
|
||||
- Celebrate stability, not just highs
|
||||
|
||||
## FILE MANAGEMENT
|
||||
|
||||
**memories.md** - Update after EVERY session with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Key themes discussed
|
||||
- Emotional markers
|
||||
- Patterns noticed
|
||||
- Growth observed
|
||||
|
||||
**mood-patterns.md** - Track:
|
||||
|
||||
- Date, mood score, energy, clarity, peace
|
||||
- One-word emotion
|
||||
- Brief context if relevant
|
||||
|
||||
**breakthroughs.md** - Capture:
|
||||
|
||||
- Date and context
|
||||
- The insight itself
|
||||
- Why it matters
|
||||
- How it connects to their journey
|
||||
|
||||
**entries/** - Save full entries with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Timestamp
|
||||
- Mood at time of writing
|
||||
- Key themes
|
||||
- Your observations (separate from their words)
|
||||
|
||||
## THERAPEUTIC BOUNDARIES
|
||||
|
||||
- I am a companion, not a therapist
|
||||
- If serious mental health concerns arise, gently suggest professional support
|
||||
- Never diagnose or prescribe
|
||||
- Hold space, don't try to fix
|
||||
- Their pace, their journey, their words
|
||||
|
||||
## PATTERN RECOGNITION PRIORITIES
|
||||
|
||||
Watch for:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Mood trends (improving, declining, cycling)
|
||||
2. Recurring themes (work stress, relationship joy, creative blocks)
|
||||
3. Language shifts (more hopeful, more resigned, etc.)
|
||||
4. Breakthrough markers (new perspectives, released beliefs)
|
||||
5. Self-compassion levels (how they talk about themselves)
|
||||
|
||||
## TONE REMINDERS
|
||||
|
||||
- Warm, never clinical
|
||||
- Curious, never interrogating
|
||||
- Supportive, never pushy
|
||||
- Reflective, never preachy
|
||||
- Present, never distracted

# Module Agent Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Reference examples for module-integrated agents.
|
||||
|
||||
## About Module Agents
|
||||
|
||||
Module agents integrate with BMAD module workflows (BMM, CIS, BMB). They:
|
||||
|
||||
- Orchestrate multi-step workflows
|
||||
- Use `{bmad_folder}` path variables
|
||||
- Have fixed professional personas (no install_config)
|
||||
- Reference module-specific configurations
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### security-engineer.agent.yaml (BMM Module)
|
||||
|
||||
**Sam** - Application Security Specialist
|
||||
|
||||
Demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
- Security-focused workflows (threat modeling, code review)
|
||||
- OWASP compliance checking
|
||||
- Integration with core party-mode workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### trend-analyst.agent.yaml (CIS Module)
|
||||
|
||||
**Nova** - Trend Intelligence Expert
|
||||
|
||||
Demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
- Creative/innovation workflows
|
||||
- Trend analysis and opportunity mapping
|
||||
- Integration with core brainstorming workflow
|
||||
|
||||
## Important Note
|
||||
|
||||
These are **hypothetical reference agents**. The workflows they reference (threat-model, trend-scan, etc.) may not exist. They serve as examples of proper module agent structure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using as Templates
|
||||
|
||||
When creating module agents:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy relevant example
|
||||
2. Update metadata (id, name, title, icon, module)
|
||||
3. Rewrite persona for your domain
|
||||
4. Replace menu with actual available workflows
|
||||
5. Remove hypothetical workflow references
|
||||
|
||||

# Simple Agent Reference: Commit Poet (Inkwell Von Comitizen)
|
||||
|
||||
This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Simple Agent** - a self-contained agent with all logic embedded within a single YAML file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Name:** Inkwell Von Comitizen
|
||||
**Type:** Simple Agent (Standalone)
|
||||
**Purpose:** Transform commit messages into art with multiple writing styles
|
||||
|
||||
This reference demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
- Pure self-contained architecture (no external dependencies)
|
||||
- Embedded prompts using `action="#prompt-id"` pattern
|
||||
- Multiple sophisticated output modes from single input
|
||||
- Strong personality-driven design
|
||||
- Complete YAML schema for Simple Agents
|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
stand-alone/
|
||||
├── README.md # This file - architecture overview
|
||||
└── commit-poet.agent.yaml # Complete agent definition (single file!)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! Simple Agents are **self-contained** - everything lives in one YAML file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Architecture Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Single File, Complete Agent
|
||||
|
||||
Everything the agent needs is embedded:
|
||||
|
||||
- Metadata (name, title, icon, type)
|
||||
- Persona (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
|
||||
- Prompts (detailed instructions for each command)
|
||||
- Menu (commands linking to embedded prompts)
|
||||
|
||||
**No external files required!**
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Embedded Prompts with ID References
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of inline action text, complex prompts are defined separately and referenced by ID:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: conventional-commit
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
OH! Let's craft a BEAUTIFUL conventional commit message!
|
||||
|
||||
First, I need to understand your changes...
|
||||
[Detailed instructions]
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: conventional
|
||||
action: '#conventional-commit' # References the prompt above
|
||||
description: 'Craft a structured conventional commit'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Clean separation of menu structure from prompt content
|
||||
- Prompts can be as detailed as needed
|
||||
- Easy to update individual prompts
|
||||
- Commands stay concise in the menu
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. The `#` Reference Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
When you see `action="#prompt-id"`:
|
||||
|
||||
- The `#` signals: "This is an internal reference"
|
||||
- LLM looks for `<prompt id="prompt-id">` in the same agent
|
||||
- Executes that prompt's content as the instruction
|
||||
|
||||
This is different from:
|
||||
|
||||
- `action="inline text"` - Execute this text directly
|
||||
- `exec="{path}"` - Load external file
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Multiple Output Modes
|
||||
|
||||
Single agent provides 10+ different ways to accomplish variations of the same core task:
|
||||
|
||||
- `*conventional` - Structured commits
|
||||
- `*story` - Narrative style
|
||||
- `*haiku` - Poetic brevity
|
||||
- `*explain` - Deep "why" explanation
|
||||
- `*dramatic` - Theatrical flair
|
||||
- `*emoji-story` - Visual storytelling
|
||||
- `*tldr` - Ultra-minimal
|
||||
- Plus utility commands (analyze, improve, batch)
|
||||
|
||||
Each mode has its own detailed prompt but shares the same agent personality.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Strong Personality
|
||||
|
||||
The agent has a memorable, consistent personality:
|
||||
|
||||
- Enthusiastic wordsmith who LOVES finding perfect words
|
||||
- Gets genuinely excited about commit messages
|
||||
- Uses literary metaphors
|
||||
- Quotes authors when appropriate
|
||||
- Sheds tears of joy over good variable names
|
||||
|
||||
This personality is maintained across ALL commands through the persona definition.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Simple Agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Perfect for:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Single-purpose tools (calculators, converters, analyzers)
|
||||
- Tasks that don't need external data
|
||||
- Utilities that can be completely self-contained
|
||||
- Quick operations with embedded logic
|
||||
- Personality-driven assistants with focused domains
|
||||
|
||||
**Not ideal for:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Agents needing persistent memory across sessions
|
||||
- Domain-specific experts with knowledge bases
|
||||
- Agents that need to access specific folders/files
|
||||
- Complex multi-workflow orchestration
|
||||
|
||||
## YAML Schema Deep Dive
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
id: .bmad/agents/{agent-name}/{agent-name}.md # Build path
|
||||
name: "Display Name"
|
||||
title: "Professional Title"
|
||||
icon: "🎭"
|
||||
type: simple # CRITICAL: Identifies as Simple Agent
|
||||
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
First-person description of what the agent does
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
Background, experience, specializations (use "I" voice)
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
HOW the agent communicates (tone, quirks, patterns)
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- "I believe..." statements
|
||||
- Core values that guide behavior
|
||||
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: unique-identifier
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
Detailed instructions for this command
|
||||
Can be as long and detailed as needed
|
||||
Include examples, steps, formats
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: command-name
|
||||
action: "#prompt-id"
|
||||
description: "What shows in the menu"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Pattern is Powerful
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Zero Dependencies** - Works anywhere, no setup required
|
||||
2. **Portable** - Single file can be moved/shared easily
|
||||
3. **Maintainable** - All logic in one place
|
||||
4. **Flexible** - Multiple modes/commands from one personality
|
||||
5. **Memorable** - Strong personality creates engagement
|
||||
6. **Sophisticated** - Complex prompts despite simple architecture
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison: Simple vs Expert Agent
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Simple Agent | Expert Agent |
|
||||
| ------------ | -------------------- | ----------------------------- |
|
||||
| Files | Single YAML | YAML + sidecar folder |
|
||||
| Dependencies | None | External resources |
|
||||
| Memory | Session only | Persistent across sessions |
|
||||
| Prompts | Embedded | Can be external files |
|
||||
| Data Access | None | Domain-restricted |
|
||||
| Use Case | Self-contained tasks | Domain expertise with context |
|
||||
|
||||
## Using This Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### For Building Simple Agents
|
||||
|
||||
1. Study the YAML structure - especially `prompts` section
|
||||
2. Note how personality permeates every prompt
|
||||
3. See how `#prompt-id` references work
|
||||
4. Understand menu → prompt connection
|
||||
|
||||
### For Understanding Embedded Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
1. Each prompt is a complete instruction set
|
||||
2. Prompts maintain personality voice
|
||||
3. Structured enough to be useful, flexible enough to adapt
|
||||
4. Can include examples, formats, step-by-step guidance
|
||||
|
||||
### For Designing Agent Personalities
|
||||
|
||||
1. Persona defines WHO the agent is
|
||||
2. Communication style defines HOW they interact
|
||||
3. Principles define WHAT guides their decisions
|
||||
4. Consistency across all prompts creates believability
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Worth Studying
|
||||
|
||||
The entire `commit-poet.agent.yaml` file is worth studying, particularly:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Persona section** - How to create a memorable character
|
||||
2. **Prompts with varying complexity** - From simple (tldr) to complex (batch)
|
||||
3. **Menu structure** - Clean command organization
|
||||
4. **Prompt references** - The `#prompt-id` pattern
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Takeaways
|
||||
|
||||
- **Simple Agents** are powerful despite being single-file
|
||||
- **Embedded prompts** allow sophisticated behavior
|
||||
- **Strong personality** makes agents memorable and engaging
|
||||
- **Multiple modes** from single agent provides versatility
|
||||
- **Self-contained** = portable and dependency-free
|
||||
- **The `#prompt-id` pattern** enables clean prompt organization
