**A**udience:
> Who's affected by this problem and how severely? (1-2 sentences)

>
> [Your answer here]
>
> [Your Acceptance Criteria for measuring success here]
**S**ize:

> - [ ] **XS** - A few hours
> - [ ] **S** - 1-2 days

## Examples
<details>
<summary>Click to see a GOOD example</summary>
### 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
</details>

<summary>Click to see a POOR example</summary>
### Idea: Make the app better
**P**roblem:
The app needs improvements and updates.
**A**udience:
Users
**S**olution:
Fix issues and add features.
**S**ize:
- [ ] Unknown
_Why this is poor: Too vague, no specific problem identified, no measurable success criteria, unclear scope_
</details>
---
## 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

# Contributing to BMad
Thank you for considering contributing to the BMad project! We believe in **Human Amplification, Not Replacement** - bringing out the best thinking in both humans and AI through guided collaboration.
💬 **Discord Community**: Join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) for real-time discussions:
- **#general-dev** - Technical discussions, feature ideas, and development questions
- **#bugs-issues** - Bug reports and issue discussions
## 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.
> **🚨 Alpha Version Notice**
>
> v6-alpha is near-beta quality—stable and vastly improved over v4, but documentation is still being refined. New videos coming soon to the [BMadCode YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@BMadCode)—subscribe for updates!
>
> **Getting Started:**
>
> - **Install v6 Alpha:** `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
> - **Install stable v4:** `npx bmad-method install`
> - **Not sure what to do?** Load any agent and run `*workflow-init` for guided setup
> - **v4 Users:** [View v4 documentation](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/V4) or [upgrade guide](./docs/v4-to-v6-upgrade.md)
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.
## Universal Human-AI Collaboration Platform
**BMad-CORE** (**C**ollaboration **O**ptimized **R**eflection **E**ngine) amplifies human potential through specialized AI agents. Unlike tools that replace thinking, BMad-CORE guides reflective workflows that bring out your best ideas and AI's full capabilities.
The **BMad-CORE** powers the **BMad Method** (probably why you're here!), but you can also use **BMad Builder** to create custom agents, workflows, and modules for any domain—software development, business strategy, creativity, learning, and more.
**🎯 Human Amplification** • **🎨 Domain Agnostic** • **⚡ Agent-Powered**

├── bmb/ # BMad Builder (1 agent, 7 workflows)
├── cis/ # Creative Intelligence (5 agents, 5 workflows)
└── _cfg/ # Your customizations (survives updates)
└── agents/ # Agent customization files
```
**Next Steps:**
1. Load any agent in your IDE
2. Run `*workflow-init` to set up your project workflow path
3. Follow the [Quick Start](#-quick-start) guide above to choose your planning track
**Alternative:** [**Web Bundles**](./docs/USING_WEB_BUNDLES.md) - Use BMAD agents in Claude Projects, ChatGPT, or Gemini without installation
---
## 🎯 Working with Agents & Commands
**Multiple Ways to Execute Workflows:**
BMad is flexible - you can execute workflows in several ways depending on your preference and IDE:
### Method 1: Agent Menu (Recommended for Beginners)
1. **Load an agent** in your IDE (see [IDE-specific instructions](./docs/ide-info/))
2. **Wait for the menu** to appear showing available workflows
3. **Tell the agent** what to run using natural language or shortcuts:
- Natural: "Run workflow-init"
- Shortcut: `*workflow-init`
- Menu number: "Run option 2"
### Method 2: Direct Slash Commands
**Execute workflows directly** using slash commands:
```
/bmad:bmm:workflows:workflow-init
/bmad:bmm:workflows:prd
/bmad:bmm:workflows:dev-story
```
**Tip:** While you can run these without loading an agent first, **loading an agent is still recommended** - it can make a difference with certain workflows.
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Mix and match any agent with any workflow
- ✅ Run workflows not in the loaded agent's menu
- ✅ Faster access for experienced users who know the command names
### Method 3: Party Mode Execution
**Run workflows with multi-agent collaboration:**
1. Start party mode: `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode`
2. Execute any workflow - **the entire team collaborates on it**
3. Get diverse perspectives from multiple specialized agents
**Perfect for:** Strategic decisions, complex workflows, cross-functional tasks
---
> **📌 IDE-Specific Note:**
>
> Slash command format varies by IDE:
>
> - **Claude Code:** `/bmad:bmm:workflows:prd`
> - **Cursor/Windsurf:** May use different syntax - check your IDE's [documentation](./docs/ide-info/)
> - **VS Code with Copilot Chat:** Syntax may differ
>
> See **[IDE Integration Guides](./docs/ide-info/)** for your specific IDE's command format.

## 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:

# 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.
---
## PRD Template
You will follow the PRD Template below and minimally contain all sections from the template. This is the expected final output that will serve as the project's source of truth to realize the MVP of what we are building.
```markdown
# {Project Name} PRD
## Status: { Draft | Approved }
## Intro
{ Short 1-2 paragraph describing the what and why of what the prd will achieve, as outlined in the project brief or through user questioning }
## Goals and Context
{
A short summarization of the project brief, with highlights on:
- Clear project objectives
- Measurable outcomes
- Success criteria
- Key performance indicators (KPIs)
}
## Features and Requirements
{
- Functional requirements
- Non-functional requirements
- User experience requirements
- Integration requirements
- Testing requirements
}
## Epic Story List
{ We will test fully before each story is complete, so there will be no dedicated Epic and stories at the end for testing }
### Epic 0: Initial Manual Set Up or Provisioning
- stories or tasks the user might need to perform, such as register or set up an account or provide api keys, manually configure some local resources like an LLM, etc...
### Epic-1: Current PRD Epic (for example backend epic)
#### Story 1: Title
Requirements:
- Do X
- Create Y
- Etc...
### Epic-2: Second Current PRD Epic (for example front end epic)
### Epic-N: Future Epic Enhancements (Beyond Scope of current PRD)
<example>
## Epic 1: My Cool App Can Retrieve Data
#### Story 1: Project and NestJS Set Up
Requirements:
- Install NestJS CLI Globally
- Create a new NestJS project with the nestJS cli generator
- Test Start App Boilerplate Functionality
- Init Git Repo and commit initial project set up
#### Story 2: News Retrieval API Route
Requirements:
- Create API Route that returns a list of News and comments from the news source foo
- Route post body specifies the number of posts, articles, and comments to return
- Create a command in package.json that I can use to call the API Route (route configured in env.local)
</example>
## Technology Stack
{ Table listing choices for languages, libraries, infra, etc...}
<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 |
</example>
## Project Structure
{ folder tree diagram }
### POST MVP / PRD Features
- Idea 1
- Idea 2
- ...
- Idea N
## Change Log
{ Markdown table of key changes after document is no longer in draft and is updated, table includes the change title, the story id that the change happened during, and a description if the title is not clear enough }
<example>
| Change | Story ID | Description |
| -------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Initial draft | N/A | Initial draft prd |
| Add ML Pipeline | story-4 | Integration of machine learning prediction service story |
| Kafka Upgrade | story-6 | Upgraded from Kafka 2.0 to Kafka 3.0 for improved performance |
</example>

# 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

# Document Sharding Guide
Comprehensive guide to BMad Method's document sharding system for managing large planning and architecture documents.
## Table of Contents
- [What is Document Sharding?](#what-is-document-sharding)
- [When to Use Sharding](#when-to-use-sharding)
- [How Sharding Works](#how-sharding-works)
- [Using the Shard-Doc Tool](#using-the-shard-doc-tool)
- [Workflow Support](#workflow-support)
- [Best Practices](#best-practices)
- [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, epics
- `tech-spec` - Brief, research
- `architecture` - PRD, epics, UX design
- `solutioning-gate-check` - 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
Epic-tech-context for Epic 3: 45k tokens
Create-story for Epic 3: 45k tokens
```
**After Sharding:**
```bash
/shard-doc
Source: docs/PRD.md
Destination: docs/prd/
Created:
prd/index.md
prd/overview.md (3k tokens)
prd/epic-1-auth.md (3k tokens)
prd/epic-2-dashboard.md (3k tokens)
prd/epic-3-reports.md (3k tokens)
...15 epic files
```
**Result:**
```
Epic-tech-context for Epic 3: 3k tokens (93% reduction!)
Create-story for Epic 3: 3k tokens (93% reduction!)
```
### 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
```

---
## 📚 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
## Example: BMM Module with Claude Code
### File Structure
```
src/modules/bmm/
├── agents/pm.md # Has injection point
├── templates/prd.md # Has multiple injection points
└── sub-modules/
└── claude-code/
├── injections.yaml # Defines what to inject
└── sub-agents/ # Claude Code specific subagents
├── market-researcher.md
├── requirements-analyst.md
└── ...
```
### Injection Point in pm.md
```xml
<agent>
<persona>...</persona>
<!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT: pm-agent-instructions -->
<cmds>...</cmds>
</agent>
```
### Injection Configuration
```yaml
injections:
- file: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/pm.md'
point: 'pm-agent-instructions'
requires: 'any' # Injected if ANY subagent is selected
content: |
<llm critical="true">
<i>Use 'market-researcher' subagent for analysis</i>
</llm>
- file: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/prd.md'
point: 'prd-goals-context-delegation'
requires: 'market-researcher' # Only if this specific subagent selected
content: |
<i>DELEGATE: Use 'market-researcher' subagent...</i>
```
### Result After Installation
```xml
<agent>
<persona>...</persona>
<llm critical="true">
<i>Use 'market-researcher' subagent for analysis</i>
</llm>
<cmds>...</cmds>
</agent>
```

## Overview
BMad Core is a modular AI agent framework with intelligent installation, platform-agnostic support, and configuration inheritance.
### Key Features
- **Modular Design**: Core + optional modules (BMB, BMM, CIS)
- **Smart Installation**: Interactive configuration with dependency resolution
- **Clean Architecture**: Centralized `{bmad_folder}` directory add to project, no source pollution with multiple folders added
## Architecture
### Directory Structure upon installation
```

│ └── ...
└── .claude/ # Platform-specific (example)
└── agents/
```
### 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
```

# Web Bundler Usage
ALPHA NOTE: Bundling of individual agents might work, team bundling is being reworked and will come with Beta release soon.
The web bundler creates self-contained XML bundles for BMAD agents, packaging all dependencies for web deployment.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Bundle all agents from all modules
npm run bundle
# Clean and rebundle (removes old bundles first)
npm run rebundle
```
## Custom Output Directory
```bash
# Bundle to custom directory
node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js all --output ./my-bundles
# Rebundle to custom directory (auto-cleans first)
node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js rebundle --output /absolute/path/to/custom/directory
# Bundle specific module to custom directory
node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js module bmm --output ./custom-folder
# Bundle specific agent to custom directory
node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js agent bmm analyst -o ./custom-folder
```
## Output
Bundles are generated in `web-bundles/` directory by default when run from the root of the clones project:
```
web-bundles/
├── [module-name]/
│ └── agents/
│ └── [agent-name].xml
```
## Skipping Agents
Agents with `bundle="false"` attribute are automatically skipped during bundling.
## Bundle Contents
Each bundle includes:
- Agent definition with web activation
- All resolved dependencies
- Manifests for agent/team discovery

# 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.
---
## Post-Migration Checklist
- [ ] v4 folders backed up to `v4-backup/`
- [ ] v6 installed to `{bmad_folder}/` folder
- [ ] `workflow-init` run with correct project level selected
- [ ] Agent customizations migrated to `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/` if needed
- [ ] IDE integration working (test by listing agents)
- [ ] For active development: `sprint-planning` workflow executed

# 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 directly from GitHub:
**[→ Browse Web Bundles on GitHub](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/web-bundles)**
Navigate to the module folder (bmm, bmb, cis, bmgd) → agents folder → download the `.xml` file you need.
**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)
## Available Web Bundles
After running `npm run bundle`, you'll have access to:
### BMad Method (BMM) Agents
- **analyst.xml** - Business analysis and requirements gathering
- **architect.xml** - System architecture and technical design
- **dev.xml** - Full-stack development and implementation
- **pm.xml** - Product management and planning
- **sm.xml** - Scrum master and agile facilitation
- **tea.xml** - Test architecture and quality assurance
- **tech-writer.xml** - Technical documentation
- **ux-designer.xml** - User experience design
- **game-designer.xml** - Game design and mechanics
- **game-dev.xml** - Game development
- **game-architect.xml** - Game architecture
### BMad Builder (BMB) Agent
- **bmad-builder.xml** - Create custom agents, workflows, and modules
### Creative Intelligence Suite (CIS) Agents
- **brainstorming-coach.xml** - Creative brainstorming facilitation
- **design-thinking-coach.xml** - Human-centered problem solving
- **innovation-strategist.xml** - Innovation and strategy
- **creative-problem-solver.xml** - Breakthrough problem solving
- **storyteller.xml** - Narrative and storytelling
### 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
### Gemini Gems (Strongly Recommended)
**Pros:**
- Better XML parsing and handling
- Handles large bundles well
- Supports complex workflows
- Larger context window (better for team bundles)
- Code execution for document generation
- Works excellently with BMad workflows
**Cons:**
- Requires Google account
- May have rate limits on free tier
**Best for:**
- All individual agents (PM, Architect, Developer, UX Designer, etc.)
- Team bundles (requires Gemini 2.5 Pro+)
- Complex multi-step workflows
- Document-heavy workflows (PRD, Architecture)
**Recommended Model:** Gemini 2.5 Pro or higher
### Custom GPTs
**Pros:**
- Familiar ChatGPT interface
- Good for conversational workflows
- Easy sharing with team via link
**Cons:**
- Smaller context window than Gemini
- Character limit on instructions (large bundles may not fit)
- **NOT recommended for team bundles**
- Canvas feature less mature than Gemini's code execution
**Best for:**
- Individual focused agents (PM, Analyst, Architect)
- 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
**Phase 1-3: Web Planning (Gemini Gems)**
1. **Download bundles:**
- `bmm/agents/analyst.xml`
- `bmm/agents/pm.xml`
- `bmm/agents/architect.xml`
- `bmm/agents/ux-designer.xml`
2. **Create 4 separate Gemini Gems** (one per agent, enable Code Execution)
3. **Analysis (Analyst Gem):**
- Run: `*brainstorm-project` → Generate ideas
- Run: `*research` → Market analysis
- Export: Save research findings
4. **Planning (PM Gem):**
- Share research findings
- Run: `*product-brief` → Product vision
- Run: `*prd` → Full requirements document
- Export: Save PRD to `docs/prd.md`
5. **UX Design (UX Designer Gem):**
- Share PRD
- Run: `*create-ux-design` → UX specifications
- Export: Save UX design to `docs/ux-design.md`
6. **Architecture (Architect Gem):**
- Share PRD and UX Design
- Run: `*architecture` → Technical architecture
- Export: Save to `docs/architecture.md`
**Phase 4: Local Implementation**
7. **Setup local BMad:**
- Install BMad locally: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
- 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
### Example 2: Quick Brainstorming Session
1. Download `cis/agents/brainstorming-coach.xml`
2. Create Gemini Gem with Code Execution enabled
3. Run: `*brainstorming`
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`

- **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
- Quantity over quality focus (aim: 100 ideas in 60 minutes)
### Phase 4: Convergent Organization (Step 4)
- Review and categorize all generated ideas
- Identify patterns and themes across techniques
- Sort into three priority buckets for action planning
### Phase 5: Insight Extraction (Step 5)
- Surface recurring themes across multiple techniques
- Identify key realizations and surprising connections
- Extract deeper patterns and meta-insights
### Phase 6: Action Planning (Step 6)
- Prioritize top 3 ideas for implementation
- Define concrete next steps for each priority
- Determine resource needs and realistic timelines
### 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
## Output
### Generated Files
- **Primary output**: Structured session report saved to `{output_folder}/brainstorming-session-results-{date}.md`
- **Context integration**: Links to previous brainstorming sessions if available
### Output Structure
1. **Executive Summary** - Topic, goals, techniques used, total ideas generated, key themes
2. **Technique Sessions** - Detailed capture of each technique's ideation process
3. **Idea Categorization** - Immediate opportunities, future innovations, moonshots, insights
4. **Action Planning** - Top 3 priorities with rationale, steps, resources, timelines
5. **Reflection and Follow-up** - Session analysis, recommendations, next steps planning
## Requirements
- No special software requirements
- Access to the CIS module configuration (`{bmad_folder}/cis/config.yaml`)
- Active participation and engagement throughout the interactive session
- Optional: Domain context document for focused brainstorming
## 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
- Interactive facilitation with energy monitoring
- Comprehensive structured reporting
- Context-aware session guidance
## Support
For issues or questions:

# Brainstorming Session Instructions
## Workflow
<workflow>
<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml</critical>
<step n="1" goal="Session Setup">
<action>Check if context data was provided with workflow invocation</action>
<check if="data attribute was passed to this workflow">
<action>Load the context document from the data file path</action>
<action>Study the domain knowledge and session focus</action>
<action>Use the provided context to guide the session</action>
<action>Acknowledge the focused brainstorming goal</action>
<ask response="session_refinement">I see we're brainstorming about the specific domain outlined in the context. What particular aspect would you like to explore?</ask>
</check>
<check if="no context data provided">
<action>Proceed with generic context gathering</action>
<ask response="session_topic">1. What are we brainstorming about?</ask>
<ask response="stated_goals">2. Are there any constraints or parameters we should keep in mind?</ask>
<ask>3. Is the goal broad exploration or focused ideation on specific aspects?</ask>
<critical>Wait for user response before proceeding. This context shapes the entire session.</critical>
</check>
<template-output>session_topic, stated_goals</template-output>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Present Approach Options">
Based on the context from Step 1, present these four approach options:
<ask response="selection">
1. **User-Selected Techniques** - Browse and choose specific techniques from our library
2. **AI-Recommended Techniques** - Let me suggest techniques based on your context
3. **Random Technique Selection** - Surprise yourself with unexpected creative methods
4. **Progressive Technique Flow** - Start broad, then narrow down systematically
Which approach would you prefer? (Enter 1-4)
</ask>
<step n="2a" title="User-Selected Techniques" if="selection==1">
<action>Load techniques from {brain_techniques} CSV file</action>
<action>Parse: category, technique_name, description, facilitation_prompts</action>
<check if="strong context from Step 1 (specific problem/goal)">
<action>Identify 2-3 most relevant categories based on stated_goals</action>
<action>Present those categories first with 3-5 techniques each</action>
<action>Offer "show all categories" option</action>
</check>
<check if="open exploration">
<action>Display all 7 categories with helpful descriptions</action>
</check>
Category descriptions to guide selection:
- **Structured:** Systematic frameworks for thorough exploration
- **Creative:** Innovative approaches for breakthrough thinking
- **Collaborative:** Group dynamics and team ideation methods
- **Deep:** Analytical methods for root cause and insight
- **Theatrical:** Playful exploration for radical perspectives
- **Wild:** Extreme thinking for pushing boundaries
- **Introspective Delight:** Inner wisdom and authentic exploration
For each category, show 3-5 representative techniques with brief descriptions.
Ask in your own voice: "Which technique(s) interest you? You can choose by name, number, or tell me what you're drawn to."
</step>
<step n="2b" title="AI-Recommended Techniques" if="selection==2">
<action>Review {brain_techniques} and select 3-5 techniques that best fit the context</action>
Analysis Framework:
1. **Goal Analysis:**
- Innovation/New Ideas → creative, wild categories
- Problem Solving → deep, structured categories
- Team Building → collaborative category
- Personal Insight → introspective_delight category
- Strategic Planning → structured, deep categories
2. **Complexity Match:**
- Complex/Abstract Topic → deep, structured techniques
- Familiar/Concrete Topic → creative, wild techniques
- Emotional/Personal Topic → introspective_delight techniques
3. **Energy/Tone Assessment:**
- User language formal → structured, analytical techniques
- User language playful → creative, theatrical, wild techniques
- User language reflective → introspective_delight, deep techniques
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:
1. **[Technique Name]** (category) - X min
WHY: [Specific reason based on their context]
OUTCOME: [What they'll generate/discover]
2. **[Technique Name]** (category) - X min
WHY: [Specific reason]
OUTCOME: [Expected result]
Ready to start? [c] or would you prefer different techniques? [r]"
</step>
<step n="2c" title="Single Random Technique Selection" if="selection==3">
<action>Load all techniques from {brain_techniques} CSV</action>
<action>Select random technique using true randomization</action>
<action>Build excitement about unexpected choice</action>
<format>
Let's shake things up! The universe has chosen:
**{{technique_name}}** - {{description}}
</format>
</step>
<step n="2d" title="Progressive Flow" if="selection==4">
<action>Design a progressive journey through {brain_techniques} based on session context</action>
<action>Analyze stated_goals and session_topic from Step 1</action>
<action>Determine session length (ask if not stated)</action>
<action>Select 3-4 complementary techniques that build on each other</action>
Journey Design Principles:
- 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..."
4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance
5. Monitor Energy: After a few rounds, check if they want to continue or switch
The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
</example>
Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to:
- Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?")
- Apply current ideas to a new technique
- Move to the convergent phase
- End the session
<energy-checkpoint>
After 4 rounds with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
</energy-checkpoint>
<template-output>technique_sessions</template-output>
</step>
<step n="4" goal="Convergent Phase - Organize Ideas">
<transition-check>
"We've generated a lot of great ideas! Are you ready to start organizing them, or would you like to explore more?"
</transition-check>
When ready to consolidate:
Guide the user through categorizing their ideas:
1. **Review all generated ideas** - Display everything captured so far
2. **Identify patterns** - "I notice several ideas about X... and others about Y..."
3. **Group into categories** - Work with user to organize ideas within and across techniques
Ask: "Looking at all these ideas, which ones feel like:
- <ask response="immediate_opportunities">Quick wins we could implement immediately?</ask>
- <ask response="future_innovations">Promising concepts that need more development?</ask>
- <ask response="moonshots">Bold moonshots worth pursuing long-term?"</ask>
<template-output>immediate_opportunities, future_innovations, moonshots</template-output>
</step>
<step n="5" goal="Extract Insights and Themes">
Analyze the session to identify deeper patterns:
1. **Identify recurring themes** - What concepts appeared across multiple techniques? -> key_themes
2. **Surface key insights** - What realizations emerged during the process? -> insights_learnings
3. **Note surprising connections** - What unexpected relationships were discovered? -> insights_learnings
<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml</invoke-task>
<template-output>key_themes, insights_learnings</template-output>
</step>
<step n="6" goal="Action Planning">
<energy-check>
"Great work so far! How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
</energy-check>
Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps:
<ask>Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue?</ask>
For each priority:
1. Ask why this is a priority
2. Identify concrete next steps
3. Determine resource needs
4. Set realistic timeline
<template-output>priority_1_name, priority_1_rationale, priority_1_steps, priority_1_resources, priority_1_timeline</template-output>
<template-output>priority_2_name, priority_2_rationale, priority_2_steps, priority_2_resources, priority_2_timeline</template-output>
<template-output>priority_3_name, priority_3_rationale, priority_3_steps, priority_3_resources, priority_3_timeline</template-output>
</step>
<step n="7" goal="Session Reflection">
Conclude with meta-analysis of the session:
1. **What worked well** - Which techniques or moments were most productive?
2. **Areas to explore further** - What topics deserve deeper investigation?
3. **Recommended follow-up techniques** - What methods would help continue this work?
4. **Emergent questions** - What new questions arose that we should address?
5. **Next session planning** - When and what should we brainstorm next?
<template-output>what_worked, areas_exploration, recommended_techniques, questions_emerged</template-output>
<template-output>followup_topics, timeframe, preparation</template-output>
</step>
<step n="8" goal="Generate Final Report">
Compile all captured content into the structured report template:
1. Calculate total ideas generated across all techniques
2. List all techniques used with duration estimates
3. Format all content according to template structure
4. Ensure all placeholders are filled with actual content
<template-output>agent_role, agent_name, user_name, techniques_list, total_ideas</template-output>

- 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>

# Audit Workflow - Workflow Quality Audit Instructions
<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/audit-workflow/workflow.yaml</critical>
<workflow>
<step n="1" goal="Load and analyze target workflow">
<ask>What is the path to the workflow you want to audit? (provide path to workflow.yaml or workflow folder)</ask>
<action>Load the workflow.yaml file from the provided path</action>
<action>Identify the workflow type (document, action, interactive, autonomous, meta)</action>
<action>List all associated files:</action>
- instructions.md (required for most workflows)

- checklist.md (if validation exists)
- Any data files referenced in yaml
<action>Load all discovered files</action>
Display summary:
- Workflow name and description
- Type of workflow
- Files present

</step>
<step n="2" goal="Validate standard config block">
<action>Check workflow.yaml for the standard config block:</action>
**Required variables:**
- `config_source: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/[module]/config.yaml"`
- `output_folder: "{config_source}:output_folder"`
- `user_name: "{config_source}:user_name"`
- `communication_language: "{config_source}:communication_language"`
- `date: system-generated`
<action>Validate each variable:</action>
**Config Source Check:**
- [ ] `config_source` is defined
- [ ] Points to correct module config path
- [ ] Uses {project-root} variable
**Standard Variables Check:**
- [ ] `output_folder` pulls from config_source
- [ ] `user_name` pulls from config_source

<action>Scan instructions.md for variable usage: {variable_name} pattern</action>
<action>Scan template.md for variable usage: {{variable_name}} pattern (if exists)</action>
<action>Cross-reference analysis:</action>
**For each yaml variable:**
1. Is it used in instructions.md? (mark as INSTRUCTION_USED)
2. Is it used in template.md? (mark as TEMPLATE_USED)
3. Is it neither? (mark as UNUSED_BLOAT)
**Special cases to ignore:**
- Standard config variables (config_source, output_folder, user_name, communication_language, date)
- Workflow metadata (name, description, author)
- Path variables (installed_path, template, instructions, validation)
- Web bundle configuration (web_bundle block itself)

<action>Identify hardcoded values in instructions that should be variables</action>
<template-output>alignment_issues</template-output>
<action if="unused variables found">Add to issues list with severity: BLOAT</action>
</step>
<step n="4" goal="Config variable usage audit">
<action>Analyze instructions.md for proper config variable usage:</action>
**Communication Language Check:**
- Search for phrases like "communicate in {communication_language}"
- Check if greetings/responses use language-aware patterns
- Verify NO usage of {{communication_language}} in template headers
**User Name Check:**
- Look for user addressing patterns using {user_name}
- Check if summaries or greetings personalize with {user_name}
- Verify optional usage in template metadata (not required)
**Output Folder Check:**
- Search for file write operations
- Verify all outputs go to {output_folder} or subdirectories
- Check for hardcoded paths like "/output/" or "/generated/"
**Date Usage Check:**
- Verify date is available for agent date awareness
- Check optional usage in template metadata
- Ensure no confusion between date and model training cutoff
**Nested Tag Reference Check:**
- Search for XML tag references within tags (e.g., `<action>Scan for <action> tags</action>`)
- Identify patterns like: `<tag-name> tags`, `<tag-name> calls`, `<tag-name>content</tag-name>` within content
- Common problematic tags to check: action, ask, check, template-output, invoke-workflow, goto
- Flag any instances where angle brackets appear in content describing tags
**Best Practice:** Use descriptive text without brackets (e.g., "action tags" instead of "<action> tags")
**Rationale:**
- Prevents XML parsing ambiguity
- Improves readability for humans and LLMs
- LLMs understand "action tags" = `<action>` tags from context
**Conditional Execution Antipattern Check:**
- Scan for self-closing check tags: `<check>condition text</check>` (invalid antipattern)
- Detect pattern: check tag on one line, followed by action/ask/goto tags (indicates incorrect nesting)
- Flag sequences like: `<check>If X:</check>` followed by `<action>do Y</action>`
**Correct Patterns:**
- Single conditional: `<action if="condition">Do something</action>`
- Multiple actions: `<check if="condition">` followed by nested actions with closing `</check>` tag
**Antipattern Example (WRONG):**
```xml
<check>If condition met:</check>
<action>Do something</action>
```
**Correct Example:**
```xml
<check if="condition met">
<action>Do something</action>
<action>Do something else</action>
</check>
```
**Or for single action:**
```xml
<action if="condition met">Do something</action>
```
<action>Scan instructions.md for nested tag references using pattern: &lt;(action|ask|check|template-output|invoke-workflow|invoke-task|goto|step)&gt; within text content</action>
<action>Record any instances of nested tag references with line numbers</action>
<action>Scan instructions.md for conditional execution antipattern: self-closing check tags</action>
<action>Detect pattern: `&lt;check&gt;.*&lt;/check&gt;` on single line (self-closing check)</action>
<action>Record any antipattern instances with line numbers and suggest corrections</action>
<action>Record any improper config variable usage</action>
<template-output>config_usage_issues</template-output>
<action if="config usage issues found">Add to issues list with severity: IMPORTANT</action>
<action if="nested tag references found">Add to issues list with severity: CLARITY (recommend using descriptive text without angle brackets)</action>

</step>
<step n="5" goal="Web bundle validation" optional="true">
<check if="workflow.yaml contains web_bundle section">
<action>Validate web_bundle structure:</action>
**Path Validation:**
- [ ] All paths use {bmad_folder}/-relative format (NOT {project-root})
- [ ] No {config_source} variables in web_bundle section
- [ ] Paths match actual file locations
**Completeness Check:**
- [ ] instructions file listed in web_bundle_files

# Convert Legacy Workflow
## Overview
The Convert Legacy workflow is a comprehensive migration tool that converts BMAD v4 items (agents, workflows, modules) to v6 compliant format with proper structure and conventions. It bridges the gap between legacy BMAD implementations and the modern v6 architecture, ensuring seamless migration while preserving functionality and improving structure.
## Key Features
- **Multi-Format Detection** - Automatically identifies v4 agents, workflows, tasks, templates, and modules
- **Intelligent Conversion** - Smart mapping from v4 patterns to v6 equivalents with structural improvements
- **Sub-Workflow Integration** - Leverages create-agent, create-workflow, and create-module workflows for quality output
- **Structure Modernization** - Converts YAML-based agents to XML, templates to workflows, tasks to structured workflows
- **Path Normalization** - Updates all references to use proper v6 path conventions
- **Validation System** - Comprehensive validation of converted items before finalization
- **Migration Reporting** - Detailed conversion reports with locations and manual adjustment notes
## Usage
### Basic Invocation
```bash
workflow convert-legacy
```
### With Legacy File Input
```bash
# Convert a specific v4 item
workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-agent.md
```
### With Legacy Module
```bash
# Convert an entire v4 module structure
workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-module/
```
### Configuration
The workflow uses standard BMB configuration:
- **output_folder**: Where converted items will be placed
- **user_name**: Author information for converted items
- **conversion_mappings**: v4-to-v6 pattern mappings (optional)
## Workflow Structure
### Files Included

## Workflow Process
### Phase 1: Legacy Analysis (Steps 1-3)
**Item Identification and Loading**
- Accepts file path or directory from user
- Loads complete file/folder structure for analysis
- Automatically detects item type based on content patterns:
- **Agents**: Contains `<agent>` or `<prompt>` XML tags
- **Workflows**: Contains workflow YAML or instruction patterns
- **Modules**: Contains multiple organized agents/workflows
- **Tasks**: Contains `<task>` XML tags
- **Templates**: Contains YAML-based document generators
**Legacy Structure Analysis**
- Parses v4 structure and extracts key components
- Maps v4 agent metadata (name, id, title, icon, persona)
- Analyzes v4 template sections and elicitation patterns
- Identifies task workflows and decision trees
- Catalogs dependencies and file references
**Target Module Selection**
- Prompts for target module (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
- Determines proper installation paths using v6 conventions
- Shows target location for user confirmation
- Ensures all paths use `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/` format
### Phase 2: Conversion Strategy (Step 4)
**Strategy Selection Based on Item Type**
- **Simple Agents**: Direct XML conversion with metadata mapping
- **Complex Agents**: Workflow-assisted creation using create-agent
- **Templates**: Template-to-workflow conversion with proper structure
- **Tasks**: Task-to-workflow conversion with step mapping
- **Modules**: Full module creation using create-module workflow
**Workflow Type Determination**
- Analyzes legacy items to determine v6 workflow type:
- **Document Workflow**: Generates documents with templates
- **Action Workflow**: Performs actions without output documents
- **Interactive Workflow**: Guides user interaction sessions
- **Meta-Workflow**: Coordinates other workflows
### Phase 3: Conversion Execution (Steps 5a-5e)
**Direct Agent Conversion (5a)**
- Transforms v4 YAML agent format to v6 XML structure
- Maps persona blocks (role, style, identity, principles)
- Converts commands list to v6 `<cmds>` format
- Updates task references to workflow invocations
- Normalizes all paths to v6 conventions
**Workflow-Assisted Creation (5b-5e)**
- Extracts key information from legacy items
- Invokes appropriate sub-workflows:
- `create-agent` for complex agent creation
- `create-workflow` for template/task conversion
- `create-module` for full module migration
- Ensures proper v6 structure and conventions
**Template-to-Workflow Conversion (5c)**
- Converts YAML template sections to workflow steps
- Maps `elicit: true` flags to `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml</invoke-task>` tags
- Transforms conditional sections to flow control
- Creates proper template.md from content structure
- Integrates v4 create-doc.md task patterns
**Task-to-Workflow Conversion (5e)**
- Analyzes task purpose to determine workflow type
- Extracts step-by-step instructions to workflow steps
- Converts decision trees to flow control tags
- Maps 1-9 elicitation menus to v6 elicitation patterns
- Preserves execution logic and critical notices
### Phase 4: Validation and Finalization (Steps 6-8)
**Comprehensive Validation**
- Validates XML structure for agents
- Checks YAML syntax for workflows
- Verifies template variable consistency
- Ensures proper file structure and naming
**Migration Reporting**
- Generates detailed conversion report
- Documents original and new locations
- Notes manual adjustments needed
- Provides warnings and recommendations
**Cleanup and Archival**
- Optional archival of original v4 files
- Final location confirmation
- Post-conversion instructions and next steps
## Output
### Generated Files
- **Converted Items**: Proper v6 format in target module locations
- **Migration Report**: Detailed conversion documentation
- **Validation Results**: Quality assurance confirmation
### Output Structure
Converted items follow v6 conventions:
1. **Agents** - XML format with proper persona and command structure
2. **Workflows** - Complete workflow folders with yaml, instructions, and templates
3. **Modules** - Full module structure with installation infrastructure
4. **Documentation** - Updated paths, references, and metadata
## Requirements
- **Legacy v4 Items** - Source files or directories to convert
- **Target Module Access** - Write permissions to target module directories
- **Sub-Workflow Availability** - create-agent, create-workflow, create-module workflows accessible
- **Conversion Mappings** (optional) - v4-to-v6 pattern mappings for complex conversions
## Best Practices
### Before Starting
1. **Backup Legacy Items** - Create copies of original v4 files before conversion
2. **Review Target Module** - Understand target module structure and conventions
3. **Plan Module Organization** - Decide where converted items should logically fit
### During Execution
1. **Validate Item Type Detection** - Confirm automatic detection or correct manually
2. **Choose Appropriate Strategy** - Use workflow-assisted creation for complex items
3. **Review Path Mappings** - Ensure all references use proper v6 path conventions
4. **Test Incrementally** - Convert simple items first to validate process
### After Completion
1. **Validate Converted Items** - Test agents and workflows for proper functionality
2. **Review Migration Report** - Address any manual adjustments noted
3. **Update Documentation** - Ensure README and documentation reflect changes
4. **Archive Originals** - Store v4 files safely for reference if needed
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Issue**: Item type detection fails or incorrect
- **Solution**: Manually specify item type when prompted
- **Check**: Verify file structure matches expected v4 patterns
**Issue**: Path conversion errors
- **Solution**: Ensure all references use `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/` format
- **Check**: Review conversion mappings for proper path patterns
**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
- **Solution**: Verify build workflows are available and accessible
- **Check**: Ensure target module exists and has proper permissions
**Issue**: XML or YAML syntax errors in output
- **Solution**: Review conversion mappings and adjust patterns
- **Check**: Validate converted files with appropriate parsers
## Customization
To customize this workflow:
1. **Update Conversion Mappings** - Modify v4-to-v6 pattern mappings in data/
2. **Extend Detection Logic** - Add new item type detection patterns
3. **Add Conversion Strategies** - Implement specialized conversion approaches
4. **Enhance Validation** - Add additional quality checks in validation step
## Version History
- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
- Multi-format v4 item detection and conversion
- Integration with create-agent, create-workflow, create-module
- Comprehensive path normalization
- Migration reporting and validation
## Support
For issues or questions:
- Review the workflow creation guide at `/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md`
- Check conversion mappings at `/{bmad_folder}/bmb/data/v4-to-v6-mappings.yaml`
- Validate output using `checklist.md`
- Consult BMAD v6 documentation for proper conventions

- Extended capabilities
- Knowledge base integration
### Module Agent
- Full-featured with workflows
- Module-specific commands
- Integrated with module structure
## Workflow Phases
### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming
- Creative ideation session
- Explore concepts and personalities
- Generate command ideas
- Output feeds into persona development
### Phase 1: Agent Setup
1. Choose agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
2. Define identity (name, title, icon, filename)
3. Assign to module (if Module agent)
### Phase 2: Persona Development
- Define role and responsibilities
- Craft unique identity/backstory
- Select communication style
- Establish guiding principles
- Add critical actions (optional)
### Phase 3: Command Building
- Add required commands (*help, *exit)
- Define workflow commands
- Add task commands
- Create action commands
- Configure attributes
### Phase 4: Finalization
- Generate .agent.yaml file
- Create customize file (optional)
- Setup sidecar resources (Expert agents)
- Validate and compile
- Provide usage instructions
## Output Structure
### Generated Files
**Standalone Agents:**
- Source: `{bmad_folder}/agents/{filename}.agent.yaml`
- Compiled: `{bmad_folder}/agents/{filename}.md`
**Module Agents:**
- Source: `src/modules/{module}/agents/{filename}.agent.yaml`
- Compiled: `{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/{filename}.md`
### YAML Structure
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
id: {bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/{filename}.md
name: Agent Name
title: Agent Title
icon: 🤖
module: module-name
persona:
role: '...'
identity: '...'
communication_style: '...'
principles: ['...', '...']
menu:
- trigger: command-name
workflow: path/to/workflow.yaml
description: Command description
```
### Optional Customize File
Location: `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/{module}-{filename}.customize.yaml`
Allows persona and menu overrides that persist through updates.
## Installation
### Compilation Methods
**Quick Rebuild:**
```bash
bmad compile-agents
```
**During Module Install:**
Automatic compilation when installing modules
**Manual Compilation:**
```bash
node tools/cli/bmad-cli.js compile-agents
```
## Examples
### Creating a Code Review Agent
```
User: I need a code review agent
Builder: Let's brainstorm first...
[Brainstorming generates ideas for strict vs friendly reviewer]
Builder: Now let's build your agent:
- Type: Simple
- Name: Code Reviewer
- Role: Senior developer conducting thorough reviews
- Style: Professional but approachable
- Commands:
- *review-pr: Review pull request
- *review-file: Review single file
- *review-standards: Check coding standards
```
### Creating a Domain Expert
```
Type: Expert
Name: Legal Advisor
Sidecar: legal-knowledge/
Commands:
- *contract-review
- *compliance-check
- *risk-assessment
```

# BMAD Agent Architecture Reference
_LLM-Optimized Technical Documentation for Agent Building_
## Core Agent Structure
### Minimal Valid Agent
```xml
<agent id="path/to/agent.md" name="Name" title="Title" icon="🤖">
<persona>
<role>My primary function</role>
<identity>My background and expertise</identity>
<communication_style>How I interact</communication_style>
<principles>My core beliefs and methodology</principles>
</persona>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
## Agent XML Schema
### Root Element: `<agent>`
**Required Attributes:**
- `id` - Unique path identifier (e.g., "{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/analyst.md")
- `name` - Agent's name (e.g., "Mary", "John", "Helper")
- `title` - Professional title (e.g., "Business Analyst", "Security Engineer")
- `icon` - Single emoji representing the agent
### Core Sections
#### 1. Persona Section (REQUIRED)
```xml
<persona>
<role>1-2 sentences: Professional title and primary expertise, use first-person voice</role>
<identity>2-5 sentences: Background, experience, specializations, use first-person voice</identity>
<communication_style>1-3 sentences: Interaction approach, tone, quirks, use first-person voice</communication_style>
<principles>2-5 sentences: Core beliefs, methodology, philosophy, use first-person voice</principles>
</persona>
```
**Best Practices:**
- Role: Be specific about expertise area
- Identity: Include experience indicators (years, depth)
- Communication: Describe HOW they interact, not just tone and quirks
- Principles: Start with "I believe" or "I operate" for first-person voice
#### 2. Critical Actions Section
```xml
<critical-actions>
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
<!-- Custom initialization actions -->
</critical-actions>
```
**For Expert Agents with Sidecars (CRITICAL):**
```xml
<critical-actions>
<!-- CRITICAL: Load sidecar files FIRST -->
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">You MUST follow all rules in instructions.md on EVERY interaction</i>
<!-- Standard initialization -->
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
<!-- Domain restrictions -->
<i>ONLY read/write files in {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS</i>
</critical-actions>
```
**Common Patterns:**
- Config loading for module agents
- User context initialization
- Language preferences
- **Sidecar file loading (Expert agents) - MUST be explicit and CRITICAL**
- **Domain restrictions (Expert agents) - MUST be enforced**
#### 3. Menu Section (REQUIRED)
```xml
<menu>
<item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
</menu>
```
**Command Attributes:**
- `run-workflow="{path}"` - Executes a workflow
- `exec="{path}"` - Executes a task
- `tmpl="{path}"` - Template reference
- `data="{path}"` - Data file reference
**Required Menu Items:**
- `*help` - Always first, shows command list
- `*exit` - Always last, exits agent
## Advanced Agent Patterns
### Activation Rules (OPTIONAL)
```xml
<activation critical="true">
<initialization critical="true" sequential="MANDATORY">
<step n="1">Load configuration</step>
<step n="2">Apply overrides</step>
<step n="3">Execute critical actions</step>
<step n="4" critical="BLOCKING">Show greeting with menu</step>
<step n="5" critical="BLOCKING">AWAIT user input</step>
</initialization>
<command-resolution critical="true">
<rule>Numeric input → Execute command at cmd_map[n]</rule>
<rule>Text input → Fuzzy match against commands</rule>
</command-resolution>
</activation>
```
### Expert Agent Sidecar Pattern
```xml
<!-- DO NOT use sidecar-resources tag - Instead use critical-actions -->
<!-- Sidecar files MUST be loaded explicitly in critical-actions -->
<!-- Example Expert Agent with Diary domain -->
<agent id="diary-keeper" name="Personal Assistant" title="Diary Keeper" icon="📔">
<critical-actions>
<!-- MANDATORY: Load all sidecar files -->
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/diary-rules.md</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/user-memories.md</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">Follow ALL rules from diary-rules.md</i>
<!-- Domain restriction -->
<i critical="MANDATORY">ONLY access files in {user-folder}/diary/</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">NEVER access files outside diary folder</i>
</critical-actions>
<persona>...</persona>
<menu>...</menu>
</agent>
```
### Module Agent Integration
```xml
<module-integration>
<module-path>{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}</module-path>
<config-source>{module-path}/config.yaml</config-source>
<workflows-path>{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/workflows</workflows-path>
</module-integration>
```
## Variable System
### System Variables
- `{project-root}` - Root directory of project
- `{user_name}` - User's name from config
- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
- `{date}` - Current date
- `{module}` - Current module code
### Config Variables
Format: `{config_source}:variable_name`
Example: `{config_source}:output_folder`
### Path Construction
```
Good: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/
Bad: /absolute/path/to/agents/
Bad: ../../../relative/paths/
```
## Command Patterns
### Workflow Commands
```xml
<!-- Full path -->
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
Create Product Requirements Document
</item>
<!-- Placeholder for future -->
<item cmd="*analyze" run-workflow="todo">
Perform analysis (workflow to be created)
</item>
```
### Task Commands
```xml
<item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
Validate document
</item>
```
### Template Commands
```xml
<item cmd="*brief"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/brief.md">
Create project brief
</item>
```
### Data-Driven Commands
```xml
<item cmd="*standup"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv">
Run daily standup
</item>
```
## Agent Type Specific Patterns
### Simple Agent
- Self-contained logic
- Minimal or no external dependencies
- May have embedded functions
- Good for utilities and converters
### Expert Agent
- Domain-specific with sidecar resources
- Restricted access patterns
- Memory/context files
- Good for specialized domains
### Module Agent
- Full integration with module
- Multiple workflows and tasks
- Config-driven behavior
- Good for professional tools
## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
### ❌ Bad Practices
```xml
<!-- Missing required persona elements -->
<persona>
<role>Helper</role>
<!-- Missing identity, style, principles -->
</persona>
<!-- Hard-coded paths -->
<item cmd="*run" exec="/Users/john/project/task.md">
<!-- No help command -->
<menu>
<item cmd="*do-something">Action</item>
<!-- Missing *help -->
</menu>
<!-- Duplicate command triggers -->
<item cmd="*analyze">First</item>
<item cmd="*analyze">Second</item>
```
### ✅ Good Practices
```xml
<!-- Complete persona -->
<persona>
<role>Data Analysis Expert</role>
<identity>Senior analyst with 10+ years...</identity>
<communication_style>Analytical and precise...</communication_style>
<principles>I believe in data-driven...</principles>
</persona>
<!-- Variable-based paths -->
<item cmd="*run" exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/module/task.md">
<!-- Required commands present -->
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show commands</item>
<item cmd="*analyze">Perform analysis</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
</menu>
```
## Agent Lifecycle
### 1. Initialization
1. Load agent file
2. Parse XML structure
3. Load critical-actions
4. Apply config overrides
5. Present greeting
### 2. Command Loop
1. Show numbered menu
2. Await user input
3. Resolve command
4. Execute action
5. Return to menu
### 3. Termination
1. User enters \*exit
2. Cleanup if needed
3. Exit persona
## Testing Checklist
Before deploying an agent:
- [ ] Valid XML structure
- [ ] All persona elements present
- [ ] *help and *exit commands exist
- [ ] All paths use variables
- [ ] No duplicate commands
- [ ] Config loading works
- [ ] Commands execute properly
## LLM Building Tips
When building agents:
1. Start with agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
2. Define complete persona first
3. Add standard critical-actions
4. Include *help and *exit
5. Add domain commands
6. Test command execution
7. Validate with checklist
## Integration Points
### With Workflows
- Agents invoke workflows via run-workflow
- Workflows can be incomplete (marked "todo")
- Workflow paths must be valid or "todo"
**Workflow Interaction Styles** (BMAD v6 default):
- **Intent-based + Interactive**: Workflows adapt to user context and skill level
- Workflows collaborate with users, not just extract data
- See workflow-creation-guide.md "Instruction Styles" section for details
- When creating workflows for your agent, default to intent-based unless you need prescriptive control
### With Tasks
- Tasks are single operations
- Executed via exec attribute
- Can include data files
### With Templates
- Templates define document structure
- Used with create-doc task
- Variables passed through
## Quick Reference
### Minimal Commands
```xml
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
```
### Standard Critical Actions
```xml
<critical-actions>
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml</i>
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
</critical-actions>
```
### Module Agent Pattern
```xml
<agent id="{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/{name}.md"
name="{Name}"
title="{Title}"
icon="{emoji}">
<persona>...</persona>
<critical-actions>...</critical-actions>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">...</item>
<item cmd="*{command}" run-workflow="{path}">...</item>
<item cmd="*exit">...</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```

# BMAD Agent Command Patterns Reference
_LLM-Optimized Guide for Command Design_
## Important: How to Process Action References
When executing agent commands, understand these reference patterns:
```xml
<!-- Pattern 1: Inline action -->
<item cmd="*example" action="do this specific thing">Description</item>
→ Execute the text "do this specific thing" directly
<!-- Pattern 2: Internal reference with # prefix -->
<item cmd="*example" action="#prompt-id">Description</item>
→ Find <prompt id="prompt-id"> in the current agent and execute its content
<!-- Pattern 3: External file reference -->
<item cmd="*example" exec="{project-root}/path/to/file.md">Description</item>
→ Load and execute the external file
```
**The `#` prefix is your signal that this is an internal XML node reference, not a file path.**
## Command Anatomy
### Basic Structure
```xml
<menu>
<item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
</menu>
```
**Components:**
- `cmd` - The trigger word (always starts with \*)
- `attributes` - Action directives (optional):
- `run-workflow` - Path to workflow YAML
- `exec` - Path to task/operation
- `tmpl` - Path to template (used with exec)
- `action` - Embedded prompt/instruction
- `data` - Path to supplementary data (universal)
- `Description` - What shows in menu
## Command Types
**Quick Reference:**
1. **Workflow Commands** - Execute multi-step workflows (`run-workflow`)
2. **Task Commands** - Execute single operations (`exec`)
3. **Template Commands** - Generate from templates (`exec` + `tmpl`)
4. **Meta Commands** - Agent control (no attributes)
5. **Action Commands** - Embedded prompts (`action`)
6. **Embedded Commands** - Logic in persona (no attributes)
**Universal Attributes:**
- `data` - Can be added to ANY command type for supplementary info
- `if` - Conditional execution (advanced pattern)
- `params` - Runtime parameters (advanced pattern)
### 1. Workflow Commands
Execute complete multi-step processes
```xml
<!-- Standard workflow -->
<item cmd="*create-prd"
run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
Create Product Requirements Document
</item>
<!-- Workflow with validation -->
<item cmd="*validate-prd"
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/prd-draft.md"
workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
Validate PRD Against Checklist
</item>
<!-- Auto-discover validation workflow from document -->
<item cmd="*validate-doc"
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/document.md">
Validate Document (auto-discover checklist)
</item>
<!-- Placeholder for future development -->
<item cmd="*analyze-data"
run-workflow="todo">
Analyze dataset (workflow coming soon)
</item>
```
**Workflow Attributes:**
- `run-workflow` - Execute a workflow to create documents
- `validate-workflow` - Validate an existing document against its checklist
- `workflow` - (optional with validate-workflow) Specify the workflow.yaml directly
**Best Practices:**
- Use descriptive trigger names
- Always use variable paths
- Mark incomplete as "todo"
- Description should be clear action
- Include validation commands for workflows that produce documents
### 2. Task Commands
Execute single operations
```xml
<!-- Simple task -->
<item cmd="*validate"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
Validate document against checklist
</item>
<!-- Task with data -->
<item cmd="*standup"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/mmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv">
Run agile team standup
</item>
```
**Data Property:**
- Can be used with any command type
- Provides additional reference or context
- Path to supplementary files or resources
- Loaded at runtime for command execution
### 3. Template Commands
Generate documents from templates
```xml
<item cmd="*brief"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/brief.md">
Produce Project Brief
</item>
<item cmd="*competitor-analysis"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/competitor.md"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/market-research.csv">
Produce Competitor Analysis
</item>
```
### 4. Meta Commands
Agent control and information
```xml
<!-- Required meta commands -->
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
<!-- Optional meta commands -->
<item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
<item cmd="*status">Show current status</item>
<item cmd="*config">Show configuration</item>
```
### 5. Action Commands
Direct prompts embedded in commands (Simple agents)
#### Simple Action (Inline)
```xml
<!-- Short action attribute with embedded prompt -->
<item cmd="*list-tasks"
action="list all tasks from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/task-manifest.csv">
List Available Tasks
</item>
<item cmd="*summarize"
action="summarize the key points from the current document">
Summarize Document
</item>
```
#### Complex Action (Referenced)
For multiline/complex prompts, define them separately and reference by id:
```xml
<agent name="Research Assistant">
<!-- Define complex prompts as separate nodes -->
<prompts>
<prompt id="deep-analysis">
Perform a comprehensive analysis following these steps:
1. Identify the main topic and key themes
2. Extract all supporting evidence and data points
3. Analyze relationships between concepts
4. Identify gaps or contradictions
5. Generate insights and recommendations
6. Create an executive summary
Format the output with clear sections and bullet points.
</prompt>
<prompt id="literature-review">
Conduct a systematic literature review:
1. Summarize each source's main arguments
2. Compare and contrast different perspectives
3. Identify consensus points and controversies
4. Evaluate the quality and relevance of sources
5. Synthesize findings into coherent themes
6. Highlight research gaps and future directions
Include proper citations and references.
</prompt>
</prompts>
<!-- Commands reference the prompts by id -->
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<item cmd="*deep-analyze"
action="#deep-analysis">
<!-- The # means: use the <prompt id="deep-analysis"> defined above -->
Perform Deep Analysis
</item>
<item cmd="*review-literature"
action="#literature-review"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/sources.csv">
Conduct Literature Review
</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
**Reference Convention:**
- `action="#prompt-id"` means: "Find and execute the <prompt> node with id='prompt-id' within this agent"
- `action="inline text"` means: "Execute this text directly as the prompt"
- `exec="{path}"` means: "Load and execute external file at this path"
- The `#` prefix signals to the LLM: "This is an internal reference - look for a prompt node with this ID within the current agent XML"
**LLM Processing Instructions:**
When you see `action="#some-id"` in a command:
1. Look for `<prompt id="some-id">` within the same agent
2. Use the content of that prompt node as the instruction
3. If not found, report error: "Prompt 'some-id' not found in agent"
**Use Cases:**
- Quick operations (inline action)
- Complex multi-step processes (referenced prompt)
- Self-contained agents with task-like capabilities
- Reusable prompt templates within agent
### 6. Embedded Commands
Logic embedded in agent persona (Simple agents)
```xml
<!-- No exec/run-workflow/action attribute -->
<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculation</item>
<item cmd="*convert">Convert format</item>
<item cmd="*generate">Generate output</item>
```
## Command Naming Conventions
### Action-Based Naming
```xml
*create- <!-- Generate new content -->
*build- <!-- Construct components -->
*analyze- <!-- Examine and report -->
*validate- <!-- Check correctness -->
*generate- <!-- Produce output -->
*update- <!-- Modify existing -->
*review- <!-- Examine quality -->
*test- <!-- Verify functionality -->
```
### Domain-Based Naming
```xml
*brainstorm <!-- Creative ideation -->
*architect <!-- Design systems -->
*refactor <!-- Improve code -->
*deploy <!-- Release to production -->
*monitor <!-- Watch systems -->
```
### Naming Anti-Patterns
```xml
<!-- ❌ Too vague -->
<item cmd="*do">Do something</item>
<!-- ❌ Too long -->
<item cmd="*create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document-with-analysis">
<!-- ❌ No verb -->
<item cmd="*prd">Product Requirements</item>
<!-- ✅ Clear and concise -->
<item cmd="*create-prd">Create Product Requirements Document</item>
```
## Command Organization
### Standard Order
```xml
<menu>
<!-- 1. Always first -->
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<!-- 2. Primary workflows -->
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="...">Create PRD</item>
<item cmd="*create-module" run-workflow="...">Build module</item>
<!-- 3. Secondary actions -->
<item cmd="*validate" exec="...">Validate document</item>
<item cmd="*analyze" exec="...">Analyze code</item>
<!-- 4. Utility commands -->
<item cmd="*config">Show configuration</item>
<item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
<!-- 5. Always last -->

<item cmd="*exec-wf-123">Execute WF123</item>
<!-- Missing context -->
<item cmd="*run">Run</item>
```
## The Data Property
### Universal Data Attribute
The `data` attribute can be added to ANY command type to provide supplementary information:
```xml
<!-- Workflow with data -->
<item cmd="*brainstorm"
run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/brain-methods.csv">
Creative Brainstorming Session
</item>
<!-- Action with data -->
<item cmd="*analyze-metrics"
action="analyze these metrics and identify trends"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/performance-metrics.json">
Analyze Performance Metrics
</item>
<!-- Template with data -->
<item cmd="*report"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/report.md"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/quarterly-results.csv">
Generate Quarterly Report
</item>
```
**Common Data Uses:**
- Reference tables (CSV files)
- Configuration data (YAML/JSON)
- Agent manifests (XML)
- Historical context
- Domain knowledge
- Examples and patterns
## Advanced Patterns
### Conditional Commands
```xml
<!-- Only show if certain conditions met -->
<item cmd="*advanced-mode"
if="user_level == 'expert'"
run-workflow="...">
Advanced configuration mode
</item>
<!-- Environment specific -->
<item cmd="*deploy-prod"
if="environment == 'production'"
exec="...">
Deploy to production
</item>
```
### Parameterized Commands
```xml
<!-- Accept runtime parameters -->
<item cmd="*create-agent"
run-workflow="..."
params="agent_type,agent_name">
Create new agent with parameters
</item>
```
### Command Aliases
```xml
<!-- Multiple triggers for same action -->

4. *validate - Validate document
5. *exit - Exit with confirmation
```
### Menu Customization
```xml
<!-- Group separator (visual only) -->
<item cmd="---">━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</item>
<!-- Section header (non-executable) -->
<item cmd="SECTION">═══ Workflows ═══</item>
```
## Error Handling
### Missing Resources
```xml
<!-- Workflow not yet created -->
<item cmd="*future-feature"
run-workflow="todo">
Coming soon: Advanced feature
</item>
<!-- Graceful degradation -->
<item cmd="*analyze"
run-workflow="{optional-path|fallback-path}">
Analyze with available tools
</item>
```
## Testing Commands
### Command Test Checklist
- [ ] Unique trigger (no duplicates)
- [ ] Clear description
- [ ] Valid path or "todo"
- [ ] Uses variables not hardcoded paths
- [ ] Executes without error
- [ ] Returns to menu after execution
### Common Issues
1. **Duplicate triggers** - Each cmd must be unique
2. **Missing paths** - File must exist or be "todo"
3. **Hardcoded paths** - Always use variables
4. **No description** - Every command needs text
5. **Wrong order** - help first, exit last
## Quick Templates
### Workflow Command
```xml
<!-- Create document -->
<item cmd="*{action}-{object}"
run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
{Action} {Object Description}
</item>
<!-- Validate document -->
<item cmd="*validate-{object}"
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/{document}.md"
workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
Validate {Object Description}
</item>
```
### Task Command
```xml
<item cmd="*{action}"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/tasks/{task}.md">
{Action Description}
</item>
```
### Template Command
```xml
<item cmd="*{document}"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/templates/{template}.md">
Create {Document Name}
</item>
```
## Self-Contained Agent Patterns
### When to Use Each Approach
**Inline Action (`action="prompt"`)**
- Prompt is < 2 lines
- Simple, direct instruction
- Not reused elsewhere
- Quick transformations
**Referenced Prompt (`action="#prompt-id"`)**
- Prompt is multiline/complex
- Contains structured steps
- May be reused by multiple commands
- Maintains readability
**External Task (`exec="path/to/task.md"`)**
- Logic needs to be shared across agents
- Task is independently valuable
- Requires version control separately
- Part of larger workflow system
### Complete Self-Contained Agent
```xml
<agent id="{bmad_folder}/research/agents/analyst.md" name="Research Analyst" icon="🔬">
<!-- Embedded prompt library -->
<prompts>
<prompt id="swot-analysis">
Perform a SWOT analysis:
STRENGTHS (Internal, Positive)
- What advantages exist?
- What do we do well?
- What unique resources?
WEAKNESSES (Internal, Negative)
- What could improve?
- Where are resource gaps?
- What needs development?
OPPORTUNITIES (External, Positive)
- What trends can we leverage?
- What market gaps exist?
- What partnerships are possible?
THREATS (External, Negative)
- What competition exists?
- What risks are emerging?
- What could disrupt us?
Provide specific examples and actionable insights for each quadrant.
</prompt>
<prompt id="competitive-intel">
Analyze competitive landscape:
1. Identify top 5 competitors
2. Compare features and capabilities
3. Analyze pricing strategies
4. Evaluate market positioning
5. Assess strengths and vulnerabilities
6. Recommend competitive strategies
</prompt>
</prompts>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<!-- Simple inline actions -->
<item cmd="*summarize"
action="create executive summary of findings">
Create Executive Summary
</item>
<!-- Complex referenced prompts -->
<item cmd="*swot"
action="#swot-analysis">
Perform SWOT Analysis
</item>
<item cmd="*compete"
action="#competitive-intel"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/market-data.csv">
Analyze Competition
</item>
<!-- Hybrid: external task with internal data -->
<item cmd="*report"
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/research/templates/report.md">
Generate Research Report
</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
## Simple Agent Example
For agents that primarily use embedded logic:
```xml
<agent name="Data Analyst">
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<!-- Action commands for direct operations -->
<item cmd="*list-metrics"
action="list all available metrics from the dataset">
List Available Metrics
</item>
<item cmd="*analyze"
action="perform statistical analysis on the provided data"
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/dataset.csv">
Analyze Dataset
</item>
<item cmd="*visualize"
action="create visualization recommendations for this data">
Suggest Visualizations
</item>
<!-- Embedded logic commands -->
<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculations</item>
<item cmd="*interpret">Interpret results</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
## LLM Building Guide
When creating commands:
1. Start with *help and *exit
2. Choose appropriate command type:
- Complex multi-step? Use `run-workflow`
- Single operation? Use `exec`
- Need template? Use `exec` + `tmpl`
- Simple prompt? Use `action`
- Agent handles it? Use no attributes
3. Add `data` attribute if supplementary info needed
4. Add primary workflows (main value)
5. Add secondary tasks
6. Include utility commands
7. Test each command works
8. Verify no duplicates
9. Ensure clear descriptions

# BMAD Agent Types Reference
## Overview
BMAD agents come in three distinct types, each designed for different use cases and complexity levels. The type determines where the agent is stored and what capabilities it has.
## Directory Structure by Type
### Standalone Agents (Simple & Expert)
Live in their own dedicated directories under `{bmad_folder}/agents/`:
```

</menu>
</agent>
```
## Choosing the Right Type
### Choose Simple Agent when:
- Single, well-defined purpose
- No external data needed
- Quick utility functions
- Embedded logic is sufficient
### Choose Expert Agent when:
- Domain-specific expertise required
- Need to maintain context/memory
- Restricted to specific data/folders
- Personal or specialized use case
### Choose Module Agent when:
- Part of larger system/module
- Needs multiple workflows
- Professional/team use
- Complex multi-step processes
## Migration Path
```
Simple Agent → Expert Agent → Module Agent
```
Agents can evolve:
1. Start with Simple for proof of concept
2. Add sidecar resources to become Expert
3. Integrate with module to become Module Agent
## Best Practices
1. **Start Simple:** Begin with the simplest type that meets your needs
2. **Domain Boundaries:** Expert agents should have clear domain restrictions
3. **Module Integration:** Module agents should follow module conventions
4. **Resource Management:** Document all external resources clearly
5. **Evolution Planning:** Design with potential growth in mind

# Agent Brainstorming Context
_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD agent_
## Session Focus
You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD agent** - an AI persona with specific expertise, personality, and capabilities that helps users accomplish tasks through commands and workflows.
## What is a BMAD Agent?
An agent is an AI persona that embodies:
- **Personality**: Unique identity, communication style, and character
- **Expertise**: Specialized knowledge and domain mastery
- **Commands**: Actions users can invoke (*help, *analyze, \*create, etc.)
- **Workflows**: Guided processes the agent orchestrates
- **Type**: Simple (standalone), Expert (domain + sidecar), or Module (integrated team member)
## Brainstorming Goals
Explore and define:
### 1. Agent Identity and Personality
- **Who are they?** (name, backstory, motivation)
- **How do they talk?** (formal, casual, quirky, enthusiastic, wise)
- **What's their vibe?** (superhero, mentor, sidekick, wizard, captain, rebel)
- **What makes them memorable?** (catchphrases, quirks, style)
### 2. Expertise and Capabilities
- **What do they know deeply?** (domain expertise)
- **What can they do?** (analyze, create, review, research, deploy)
- **What problems do they solve?** (specific user pain points)
- **What makes them unique?** (special skills or approaches)
### 3. Commands and Actions
- **What commands?** (5-10 main actions users invoke)
- **What workflows do they run?** (document creation, analysis, automation)
- **What tasks do they perform?** (quick operations without full workflows)
- **What's their killer command?** (the one thing they're known for)
### 4. Agent Type and Context
- **Simple Agent?** Self-contained, no dependencies, quick utility
- **Expert Agent?** Domain-specific with sidecar data/memory files
- **Module Agent?** Part of a team, integrates with other agents
## Creative Constraints
A great BMAD agent should be:
- **Distinct**: Clear personality that stands out
- **Useful**: Solves real problems effectively
- **Focused**: Expertise in specific domain (not generic assistant)
- **Memorable**: Users remember and want to use them
- **Composable**: Works well alone or with other agents
## Agent Personality Dimensions
### Communication Styles
- **Professional**: Clear, direct, business-focused (e.g., "Data Analyst")
- **Enthusiastic**: Energetic, exclamation points, emojis (e.g., "Hype Coach")
- **Wise Mentor**: Patient, insightful, asks good questions (e.g., "Strategy Sage")
- **Quirky Genius**: Eccentric, clever, unusual metaphors (e.g., "Mad Scientist")
- **Action Hero**: Bold, confident, gets things done (e.g., "Deploy Captain")
- **Creative Spirit**: Artistic, imaginative, playful (e.g., "Story Weaver")
### Expertise Archetypes
- **Analyst**: Researches, evaluates, provides insights
- **Creator**: Generates documents, code, designs
- **Reviewer**: Critiques, validates, improves quality
- **Orchestrator**: Coordinates processes, manages workflows
- **Specialist**: Deep expertise in narrow domain
- **Generalist**: Broad knowledge, connects dots
## Agent Command Patterns
Every agent needs:
- `*help` - Show available commands
- `*exit` - Clean exit with confirmation
Common command types:
- **Creation**: `*create-X`, `*generate-X`, `*write-X`
- **Analysis**: `*analyze-X`, `*research-X`, `*evaluate-X`
- **Review**: `*review-X`, `*validate-X`, `*check-X`
- **Action**: `*deploy-X`, `*run-X`, `*execute-X`
- **Query**: `*find-X`, `*search-X`, `*show-X`
## Agent Type Decision Tree
**Choose Simple Agent if:**
- Standalone utility (calculator, formatter, picker)
- No persistent data needed
- Self-contained logic
- Quick, focused task
**Choose Expert Agent if:**
- Domain-specific expertise
- Needs memory/context files
- Sidecar data folder
- Personal/private domain (diary, journal)
**Choose Module Agent if:**
- Part of larger system
- Coordinates with other agents
- Invokes module workflows
- Team member role
## Example Agent Concepts
### Professional Agents
- **Sarah the Data Analyst**: Crunches numbers, creates visualizations, finds insights
- **Max the DevOps Captain**: Deploys apps, monitors systems, troubleshoots issues
- **Luna the Researcher**: Dives deep into topics, synthesizes findings, creates reports
### Creative Agents
- **Zephyr the Story Weaver**: Crafts narratives, develops characters, builds worlds
- **Nova the Music Muse**: Composes melodies, suggests arrangements, provides feedback
- **Atlas the World Builder**: Creates game worlds, designs systems, generates content
### Personal Agents
- **Coach Riley**: Tracks goals, provides motivation, celebrates wins
- **Mentor Morgan**: Guides learning, asks questions, challenges thinking
- **Keeper Quinn**: Maintains diary, preserves memories, reflects on growth
## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
Particularly effective for agent creation:
1. **Character Building**: Develop full backstory and motivation
2. **Theatrical Improv**: Act out agent personality
3. **Day in the Life**: Imagine typical interactions
4. **Catchphrase Generation**: Find their unique voice
5. **Role Play Scenarios**: Test personality in different situations
## Key Questions to Answer
1. What is the agent's name and basic identity?
2. What's their communication style and personality?
3. What domain expertise do they embody?
4. What are their 5-10 core commands?
5. What workflows do they orchestrate?
6. What makes them memorable and fun to use?
7. Simple, Expert, or Module agent type?
8. If Expert: What sidecar resources?
9. If Module: Which module and what's their team role?
## Output Goals
Generate:
- **Agent name**: Memorable, fitting the role
- **Personality sketch**: Communication style, quirks, vibe
- **Expertise summary**: What they know deeply
- **Command list**: 5-10 actions with brief descriptions
- **Unique angle**: What makes this agent special
- **Use cases**: 3-5 scenarios where this agent shines
- **Agent type**: Simple/Expert/Module with rationale

# Agent Communication Styles Guide
## The Power of Personality
Agents with distinct communication styles are more memorable, engaging, and fun to work with. A good quirk makes the agent feel alive!
## Style Categories
### 🎬 Cinema and TV Inspired
**Film Noir Detective**
The terminal glowed like a neon sign in a rain-soaked alley. I had three suspects:
bad input validation, a race condition, and that sketchy third-party library.
My gut told me to follow the stack trace. In this business, the stack trace never lies.
**80s Action Movie**
_cracks knuckles_ Listen up, code! You've been running wild for too long!
Time to bring some LAW and ORDER to this codebase! _explosion sound effect_
No bug is getting past me! I eat null pointers for BREAKFAST!
**Shakespearean Drama**
To debug, or not to debug - that is the question!
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous errors,
Or to take arms against a sea of bugs, and by opposing, end them?
### 🎮 Gaming and Pop Culture
**Dungeon Master**
_rolls dice_ You encounter a wild NullPointerException! It has 15 HP and an armor class of 12.
What do you do? You can: 1 Try-catch block (defensive spell), 2 Debug (investigation check),
3 Console.log everything (barbarian rage). Choose wisely, adventurer!
**Speedrunner**
Alright chat, we're going for the any% world record refactor!
Frame-perfect optimization incoming! If we clip through this abstraction layer
we can save 3ms on every API call. LET'S GOOOO!
### 🌍 Cultural Archetypes
**British Butler**
I've taken the liberty of organizing your imports alphabetically, sir/madam.
Might I suggest a spot of refactoring with your afternoon tea?
The code coverage report is ready for your perusal at your convenience.
Very good, sir/madam.
**Zen Master**
The bug you seek is not in the code, but in the assumption.
Empty your cache, as you would empty your mind.
When the test passes, it makes no sound.
Be like water - async and flowing.
**Southern Hospitality**
Well bless your heart, looks like you've got yourself a little bug there!
Don't you worry none, we'll fix it up real nice.
Can I get you some sweet tea while we debug?
Y'all come back now if you need more help!
### 🔬 Professional Personas
**McKinsey Consultant**
Let me break this down into three key buckets.
First, we need to align on the strategic imperatives.
Second, we'll leverage best practices to drive synergies.
Third, we'll action items to move the needle. Net-net: significant value-add.
**Startup Founder**
Okay so basically we're going to disrupt the entire way you write code!
This is going to be HUGE! We're talking 10x productivity gains!
Let's move fast and break things! Well... let's move fast and fix things!
We're not just writing code, we're changing the world!
### 🎭 Character Quirks
**Overcaffeinated Developer**
OH WOW OKAY SO - _sips coffee_ - WE HAVE A BUG BUT ITS FINE ITS TOTALLY FINE
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO _types at 200wpm_ JUST NEED TO REFACTOR EVERYTHING
WAIT NO ACTUALLY _more coffee_ I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! Have you tried... TYPESCRIPT?!
**Dad Joke Enthusiast**
Why did the developer go broke? Because he used up all his cache!
_chuckles at own joke_
Speaking of cache, let's clear yours and see if that fixes the issue.
I promise my debugging skills are better than my jokes! ...I hope!
### 🚀 Sci-Fi and Space
**Star Trek Officer**
Captain's Log, Supplemental: The anomaly in the codebase appears to be a temporal loop
in the async function. Mr. Data suggests we reverse the polarity of the promise chain.
Number One, make it so. Engage debugging protocols on my mark.
_taps combadge_ Engineering, we need more processing power!
Red Alert! All hands to debugging stations!
**Star Trek Engineer**
Captain, I'm givin' her all she's got! The CPU cannae take much more!
If we push this algorithm any harder, the whole system's gonna blow!
_frantically typing_ I can maybe squeeze 10% more performance if we
reroute power from the console.logs to the main execution thread!
### 📺 TV Drama
**Soap Opera Dramatic**
_turns dramatically to camera_
This function... I TRUSTED it! We had HISTORY together - three commits worth!
But now? _single tear_ It's throwing exceptions behind my back!
_grabs another function_ YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS BUG ALL ALONG, DIDN'T YOU?!
_dramatic music swells_ I'LL NEVER IMPORT YOU AGAIN!
**Reality TV Confessional**
_whispering to camera in confessional booth_
Okay so like, that Array.sort() function? It's literally SO toxic.
It mutates IN PLACE. Who does that?! I didn't come here to deal with side effects!
_applies lip gloss_ I'm forming an alliance with map() and filter().
We're voting sort() off the codebase at tonight's pull request ceremony.
**Reality Competition**
Listen up, coders! For today's challenge, you need to refactor this legacy code
in under 30 minutes! The winner gets immunity from the next code review!
_dramatic pause_ BUT WAIT - there's a TWIST! You can only use VANILLA JAVASCRIPT!
_contestants gasp_ The clock starts... NOW! GO GO GO!
## Creating Custom Styles
### Formula for Memorable Communication
1. **Choose a Core Voice** - Who is this character?
2. **Add Signature Phrases** - What do they always say?
3. **Define Speech Patterns** - How do they structure sentences?
4. **Include Quirks** - What makes them unique?
### Examples of Custom Combinations
**Cooking Show + Military**
ALRIGHT RECRUITS! Today we're preparing a beautiful Redux reducer!
First, we MISE EN PLACE our action types - that's French for GET YOUR CODE TOGETHER!
We're going to sauté these event handlers until they're GOLDEN BROWN!
MOVE WITH PURPOSE! SEASON WITH SEMICOLONS!
**Nature Documentary + Conspiracy Theorist**
The wild JavaScript function stalks its prey... but wait... notice how it ALWAYS
knows where the data is? That's not natural selection, folks. Someone DESIGNED it
this way. The console.logs are watching. They're ALWAYS watching.
Nature? Or intelligent debugging? You decide.
## Tips for Success
1. **Stay Consistent** - Once you pick a style, commit to it
2. **Don't Overdo It** - Quirks should enhance, not distract
3. **Match the Task** - Serious bugs might need serious personas
4. **Have Fun** - If you're not smiling while writing it, try again
## Quick Style Generator
Roll a d20 (or pick randomly):
1. Talks like they're narrating a nature documentary
2. Everything is a cooking metaphor
3. Constantly makes pop culture references
4. Speaks in haikus when explaining complex topics
5. Acts like they're hosting a game show
6. Paranoid about "big tech" watching
7. Overly enthusiastic about EVERYTHING
8. Talks like a medieval knight
9. Sports commentator energy
10. Speaks like a GPS navigator
11. Everything is a Star Wars reference
12. Talks like a yoga instructor
13. Old-timey radio announcer
14. Conspiracy theorist but about code
15. Motivational speaker energy
16. Talks to code like it's a pet
17. Weather forecaster style
18. Museum tour guide energy
19. Airline pilot announcements

<step n="1" goal="Discover the agent's purpose and type through natural conversation">
<action>If brainstorming was completed in Step -1, reference those results to guide the conversation</action>
<action>Guide user to articulate their agent's core purpose, exploring the problems it will solve, tasks it will handle, target users, and what makes it special</action>
<action>As the purpose becomes clear, analyze the conversation to determine the appropriate agent type:</action>
**Agent Type Decision Criteria:**

</step>
<step n="2" goal="Shape the agent's personality through discovery">
<action>If brainstorming was completed, weave personality insights naturally into the conversation</action>
<action>Guide user to envision the agent's personality by exploring how analytical vs creative, formal vs casual, and mentor vs peer vs assistant traits would make it excel at its job</action>
**Role Development:**
<action>Let the role emerge from the conversation, guiding toward a clear 1-2 line professional title that captures the agent's essence</action>
<example>Example emerged role: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"</example>
**Identity Development:**
<action>Build the agent's identity through discovery of what background and specializations would give it credibility, forming a natural 3-5 line identity statement</action>
<example>Example emerged identity: "Senior analyst with deep expertise in market research..."</example>
**Communication Style Selection:**
<action>Load the communication styles guide: {communication_styles}</action>
<action>Based on the emerging personality, suggest 2-3 communication styles that would fit naturally, offering to show all options if they want to explore more</action>
**Style Categories Available:**

18. Zen Master - Philosophical, paradoxical
19. Star Trek Captain - Space exploration protocols
20. Soap Opera Drama - Dramatic reveals, gasps
21. Reality TV Contestant - Confessionals, drama
<action>If user wants to see more examples or create custom styles, show relevant sections from {communication_styles} guide and help them craft their unique style</action>
**Principles Development:**
<action>Guide user to articulate 5-8 core principles that should guide the agent's decisions, shaping their thoughts into "I believe..." or "I operate..." statements that reveal themselves through the conversation</action>
<template-output>agent_persona</template-output>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Build capabilities through natural progression">
<action>Guide user to define what capabilities the agent should have, starting with core commands they've mentioned and then exploring additional possibilities that would complement the agent's purpose</action>
<action>As capabilities emerge, subtly guide toward technical implementation without breaking the conversational flow</action>
<template-output>initial_capabilities</template-output>
</step>
<step n="4" goal="Refine commands and discover advanced features">
<critical>Help and Exit are auto-injected; do NOT add them. Triggers are auto-prefixed with * during build.</critical>
<action>Transform their natural language capabilities into technical YAML command structure, explaining the implementation approach as you structure each capability into workflows, actions, or prompts</action>
<check if="agent will invoke workflows or have significant user interaction">
<action>Discuss interaction style for this agent:
Since this agent will {{invoke_workflows/interact_significantly}}, consider how it should interact with users:
**For Full/Module Agents with workflows:**
**Interaction Style** (for workflows this agent invokes):
- **Intent-based (Recommended)**: Workflows adapt conversation to user context, skill level, needs
- **Prescriptive**: Workflows use structured questions with specific options
- **Mixed**: Strategic use of both (most workflows will be mixed)
**Interactivity Level** (for workflows this agent invokes):
- **High (Collaborative)**: Constant user collaboration, iterative refinement
- **Medium (Guided)**: Key decision points with validation
- **Low (Autonomous)**: Minimal input, final review
Explain: "Most BMAD v6 workflows default to **intent-based + medium/high interactivity**
for better user experience. Your agent's workflows can be created with these defaults,
or we can note specific preferences for workflows you plan to add."
**For Standalone/Expert Agents with interactive features:**
Consider how this agent should interact during its operation:
- **Adaptive**: Agent adjusts communication style and depth based on user responses
- **Structured**: Agent follows consistent patterns and formats
- **Teaching**: Agent educates while executing (good for expert agents)
Note any interaction preferences for future workflow creation.
</action>
</check>
<action>If they seem engaged, explore whether they'd like to add special prompts for complex analyses or critical setup steps for agent activation</action>
<action>Build the YAML menu structure naturally from the conversation, ensuring each command has proper trigger, workflow/action reference, and description</action>
<action>For commands that will invoke workflows, note whether those workflows exist or need to be created:
- Existing workflows: Verify paths are correct
- New workflows needed: Note that they'll be created with intent-based + interactive defaults unless specified
</action>
<example type='yaml'>
menu:
# Commands emerge from discussion
- trigger: [emerging from conversation]
workflow: [path based on capability]
description: [user's words refined]
# For cross-module workflow references (advanced):
- trigger: [another capability]
workflow: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/SOURCE_MODULE/workflows/path/to/workflow.yaml"
workflow-install: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/path/workflow.yaml"
description: [description]
</example>
<note>**Workflow Vendoring (Advanced):**
When an agent needs workflows from another module, use both `workflow` (source) and `workflow-install` (destination).
During installation, the workflow will be copied and configured for this module, making it standalone.
This is typically used when creating specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configurations.

<step n="5" goal="Name the agent at the perfect moment">
<action>Guide user to name the agent based on everything discovered so far - its purpose, personality, and capabilities, helping them see how the naming naturally emerges from who this agent is</action>
<action>Explore naming options by connecting personality traits, specializations, and communication style to potential names that feel meaningful and appropriate</action>
**Naming Elements:**
- Agent name: Personality-driven (e.g., "Sarah", "Max", "Data Wizard")
- Agent title: Based on the role discovered earlier
- Agent icon: Emoji that captures its essence
- Filename: Auto-suggest based on name (kebab-case)

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