BMAD Method Guide for Cline (VS Code)

This guide covers Cline-specific setup and usage with BMAD Method. For the complete workflow, see the BMAD Workflow Guide.

Installation

When running npx bmad-method install, select Cline as your IDE. This creates:

.clinerules/ directory with numbered agent rule files (.md)
Agents ordered by priority (bmad-master first)

Using BMAD Agents in Cline

Open Cline panel in VS Code
Type @agent-name in the chat (e.g., @dev, @sm, @architect)
The agent adopts that persona for the conversation

Available Agents

All agents use @ prefix:

@bmad-master - Universal task executor
@sm - Scrum Master
@dev - Full-stack developer
@architect - Solution architect
@pm - Product manager
@analyst - Business analyst
@qa - QA specialist
@po - Product owner
@ux-expert - UX specialist

Cline-Specific Features

Rule files: Stored as numbered files in .clinerules/ (e.g., 01-bmad-master.md)
Agent ordering: Prioritized list with core agents first
VS Code integration: Works within VS Code's Cline extension panel

Tips for Cline Users
