| Welcome to the BMad Method |
The BMad Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI Driven 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. Choose a tutorial to walk through your first project in about 10 minutes.

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 — Anthropic's CLI tool (recommended)
- Cursor — AI-first code editor
- Windsurf — Codeium's AI IDE
- Roo Code — 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.
