BMad Builder (BMB) Create custom agents, workflows, and modules for BMad

Key Concepts

Agents are authored in YAML with Handlebars templating. The compiler auto-injects:

  1. Frontmatter — Name and description from metadata
  2. Activation Block — Steps, menu handlers, rules
  3. Menu Enhancement*help and *exit commands added automatically
  4. Trigger Prefixing — Your triggers auto-prefixed with *
