Agent Roles

The BMAD Method workflow involves the following agent roles:

1. Analyst: Market & Business Analyst who specializes in market research and collaborative ideation.
2. Product Manager (PM): Translates ideas to detailed requirements and structures work into epics/stories.
3. Architect: Translates requirements into robust technical designs optimized for AI agent development.
4. Product Owner (PO): Validates and approves the complete MVP plan before development.
5. Scrum Master (SM): Prepares clear, detailed, self-contained instructions for developer agents.
6. Developer: Implements requirements from story files while following project standards.
7. Documentation: Manages, scaffolds, and audits technical documentation for software projects.

Workflow Phases

The BMAD Method workflow consists of these phases:

1. Brainstorming & Analysis: Use the Analyst agent to explore ideas and create a Project Brief.
2. Product Definition: Use the PM agent to create detailed PRD and epic files.
3. Architecture Design: Use the Architect agent to create technical architecture documents.
4. Validation: Use the PO agent to validate the complete plan before development.
5. Story Generation: Use the SM agent to create detailed story files for development.
6. Implementation: Use the Dev agent to implement the stories.
7. Documentation: Use the Documentation agent to manage technical documentation throughout the project.

Documentation Agent

The Documentation agent is responsible for managing, scaffolding, and auditing technical documentation for software projects. It operates based on a dispatch system using specific commands:

Supported Commands

• scaffold new - Create a new documentation structure
• scaffold existing - Organize existing documentation
• scaffold {path} - Scaffold documentation for a specific path
• update {path|feature|keyword} - Update documentation for a specific area
• audit - Perform a full documentation audit
• audit prd - Audit documentation against product requirements
• audit {component} - Audit documentation for a specific component

See agents/docs-agent.md for more details on the Documentation agent.

Agent Configuration

See agents/instructions.md for details on how to configure these agents in various IDEs.
