Alex Verkhovsky 91f6c41be1 docs: radical reduction of documentation scope for v6 beta (#1406)
* docs: radical reduction of documentation scope for v6 beta

Archive and basement unreviewed content to ship a focused, minimal doc set.

Changes:
- Archive stale how-to workflow guides (will rewrite for v6)
- Archive outdated explanation and reference content
- Move unreviewed content to basement for later review
- Reorganize TEA docs into dedicated /tea/ section
- Add workflow-map visual reference page
- Simplify getting-started tutorial and sidebar navigation
- Add explanation pages: brainstorming, adversarial-review, party-mode,
  quick-flow, advanced-elicitation
- Fix base URL handling for subdirectory deployments (GitHub Pages forks)

The goal is a minimal, accurate doc set for beta rather than
comprehensive but potentially misleading content.

* refactor: restructure BMM and agents documentation by consolidating and flattening index files.

title: Welcome to the BMad Method
---
The BMad Method (**B**reakthrough **M**ethod of **A**gile AI **D**riven Development) is an AI-driven development framework that helps you build software faster and smarter. It provides specialized AI agents, guided workflows, and intelligent planning that adapts to your project's complexity—whether you're fixing a bug or building an enterprise platform.
If you're comfortable working with AI coding assistants like Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot, you're ready to get started.
---
## New Here? Start with a Tutorial
The fastest way to understand BMad is to try it.
- **[Get Started with BMad](/docs/tutorials/getting-started.md)** — Install and understand how BMad works
- **[Workflow Map](/docs/reference/workflow-map.md)** — Visual overview of BMM phases, workflows, and context management.
## How to Use These Docs
These docs are organized into four sections based on what you're trying to do:
| Section | Purpose |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Tutorials** | Learning-oriented. Step-by-step guides that walk you through building something. Start here if you're new. |
| **How-To Guides** | Task-oriented. Practical guides for solving specific problems. "How do I customize an agent?" lives here. |
| **Explanation** | Understanding-oriented. Deep dives into concepts and architecture. Read when you want to know *why*. |
| **Reference** | Information-oriented. Technical specifications for agents, workflows, and configuration. |

## What You'll Need
BMad works with any AI coding assistant that supports custom system prompts or project context. Popular options include:
- **[Claude Code](https://code.claude.com)** — Anthropic's CLI tool (recommended)
- **[Cursor](https://cursor.sh)** — AI-first code editor
- **[Windsurf](https://codeium.com/windsurf)** — Codeium's AI IDE
- **[Roo Code](https://roocode.com)** — VS Code extension
You should be comfortable with basic software development concepts like version control, project structure, and agile workflows. No prior experience with BMad-style agent systems is required—that's what these docs are for.
